The carnivore diet is an eating pattern centered on animal foods such as meat, fish, eggs and sometimes dairy, while excluding or sharply limiting plant foods like fruits, vegetables and grains.
Why people try it
Some people adopt the carnivore diet hoping to simplify meal planning, manage weight, or address digestive or inflammatory symptoms they feel aren't improving with other approaches.
What the evidence says
Long-term research on the carnivore diet is limited, so its lasting benefits and risks aren't well established. Excluding entire food groups can also raise nutritional considerations, such as reduced fiber and certain vitamins typically found in plant foods.
Anyone with health conditions or dietary concerns should consult a qualified healthcare professional before making significant changes to their diet.
