A bodybuilder on a carnivore diet eats a block of butter a day and says food is for “function” - not “enjoyment”.

Jonathan Griffiths, 28, has been eating a completely animal-based diet for the last four years.

He eats 700g of meat, half a litre of raw milk, 100g of cheese and four eggs a day.

He avoids any fruit and vegetables and credits the diet for making him “stronger” and improving his health.

Jonathan, a content creator and nutrition consultant, from Bournemouth, Dorset, said: “It’s more eating to function rather than eating for enjoyment.

“I still enjoy food but I don’t have that craving.
