The Carnivore diet, also known as the all-meat diet or zero-carb diet, is a dietary approach that involves consuming exclusively animal products and avoiding all plant-based foods. This diet primarily consists of meat, including beef, pork, lamb, poultry, fish, and other animal sources such as eggs and dairy products. It typically excludes carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and any other plant-derived food items.
The philosophy behind the Carnivore diet is based on the belief that humans have evolved as carnivorous beings and that consuming animal products exclusively is the optimal way to nourish the body. Advocates of this diet argue that it can lead to weight loss, improved mental clarity, increased energy, and various other health benefits.
Before considering any significant dietary changes, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian who can provide personalized guidance based on your specific needs and goals.
