The carnivore diet is a way of eating that only includes meat, fish, and other animal foods like eggs and certain dairy products. It excludes all other foods, including fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds.
This diet is how humans were eating way before agriculture was even a thing. Sadly there hasn’t been much research looking into how the carnivore diet affects our health.
Only anecdotal evidence of thousands of carnivore dieters, along with what we know about the keto diet, a close cousin, suggests that if done correctly, a carnivore diet may offer a number of powerful benefits including:
- Eliminating all plant toxins, especially oxalates.
- Weight loss
- Improved insulin sensitivity
- Improved gut health
- Improved heart health
- Reduced inflammation
- Increased testosterone and libido
- Increased mental clarity
