In the world of bodybuilding, athletes strive to achieve optimal muscle conditioning and growth through various workout routines and dietary plans. Each individual’s journey to finding the most effective approach is often a result of personal experimentation. Recently, a teenage fitness sensation, hailed as the ‘Future of Bodybuilding’ by esteemed athletes, decided to embark on his own unique dietary path by adopting the carnivore diet.
Tristyn Lee, a 15-year-old fitness influencer, follows a strict diet consisting only of meat, fish, and organs to keep his body fat percentage in the single digits. While he has gained recognition as an impressive young athlete, his dietary approach has faced criticism. Recently, Greg Doucette commented on Lee’s diet, claiming a “told you so” moment due to the outcomes of his carnivore diet.

Doucette began the video by saying, “I hate to say I told you so, but I certainly told you so. For years, guys have been struggling to eat carnivores, he’s tried to maintain single-digit body fat and he could only do it for so long.”
