Oh hahaha yeh right you had to bring up the Massai didn't you. That whole nonsense was started by a white western film crew who filmed a COMING OF AGE ritual and passed it off as the regular diet of the Massai which is blatantly false. They are vegetarian till age 10 and women are completely veggie while pregnant. (Odd as you'd think they would need more protein lol).
The big study done on them was a study of autopsies.
"However, if you actually read the study, rather than rely on second hand sources who have selectively (mis)quoted it, you’ll note that it says “they were instructed not to collect tissues from subjects with wasting disease” - which is selection bias away from chronic disease - “Nevertheless, many of the men meeting these criteria were found to have chronic diseases”

Many chronic diseases is definitely not the same thing as “healthy”.

Also in that study, 42 of of the 50 hearts were from men younger than 60 …meaning almost all of their subjects died young (by our standards). That doesn’t seem to align with “healthy”."

Also "It is clear though that meat features only rarely on the Maasai menu. The main part -- more than 50 percent -- consists of vegetarian food. The preferred meat is that of sheep and goats, whereas the meat of traditional Zebu cattle is only rarely eaten. "A cow will only be slaughtered for ritual festivities by the Maasai," says Knoll.

Knoll conducted her study together with colleagues of the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology of Juja/Nairobi (Kenia)."

They do not live to a ripe old age and they do not eat your 'carnivore diet' either. So double fail.
On a side note the Massai also ritually perform genital mutilation. Is that also a recommendation for a healthy life to you carnies?
