What is the Carnivore diet?
The Carnivore diet is an extreme form of a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that emphasises the exclusive consumption of animal products. Followers of this diet believe that eliminating all plant-based foods and relying solely on meat, fish, and other animal-derived products can lead to various health benefits, including improved energy levels, weight loss, and mental clarity.
What foods are allowed on the Carnivore diet?
In the Carnivore diet, individuals typically consume a variety of meats, such as beef, pork, lamb, and poultry, along with fish, eggs, and certain animal fats.
The primary focus is on obtaining nutrients from animal sources.
Important note
When following the Carnivore diet it is essential to stay hydrated and ensure an adequate intake of electrolytes, as the absence of plant foods may lead to a reduction in certain minerals. The diet is highly restrictive and should be approached with caution, as eliminating entire food groups may result in nutrient deficiencies and potential health risks.
Regular monitoring of health markers and consulting with a healthcare professional is advisable for those considering or already following the Carnivore diet.
