“How do you eat a high protein breakfast when you don’t have time to cook? This is the proposal of an American TikTokeur under the pseudonym of Weam Breiche, in a video published last week which has already been seen by more than 12 million people.
The one who dubs himself in his TikTok description the “Wolverine in real life” posts sports videos and diet tips for bodybuilding fans.
In the breakfast room, he digs his teeth into a raw beef brain, before drinking a glass containing six raw eggs as well. As reported by New York Postthe man advocates the health benefits of having a diet composed mostly of raw meat.
He denies the risks to his health
At 31, he lives in Los Angeles and says that the digestive problems that bothered him on a daily basis disappeared when he adopted a diet made up of “about 90%” raw meat. He swallows more than 4500 calories a day. In other videos, he showed the inside of his freezer, filled with offal and different cuts of meat.
In the comments under his most popular video, people are worried about his cholesterol levels or the bacteria he might be ingesting. In an article on this TikTokeur, the media Insider recalls that consuming raw eggs not only exposes you to a risk of food infection due to salmonella, but is also less nutritious because cooked proteins are easier to digest. Consuming raw meat also exposes you to prion diseases, such as kuru, or tapeworms.
In the description of his TikTok account, Weam Breiche notes that his comments should not be taken as medical advice, and it can be assumed that he is mainly looking to sensationalize.
disgusted comments
Apart from the concerns for his health, which he responded to in a new video a few days after the one that went viral, the comments are rather mocking, or disgusting. “Dude, we don’t need that anymore, we invented cooking like 100,000 years ago,” writes one Internet user, for example.
