Carnivore Diet — All Meat, Zero Plants

The carnivore diet's all-meat, zero-plants approach claims dramatic autoimmune relief and mental clarity, but at what cost? Supporters like Dr. Shawn Baker and Joe Rogan report success, yet nutritionists highlight severe fiber deprivation and scurvy risk. A 2023 BMJ analysis linked such a diet to a 22% higher cardiovascular mortality rate compared to balanced diets. Unlike Intermittent Fasting's flexible time-restricted eating, carnivore is more rigid and less nutritionally diverse, lacking the evidence base for long-term safety.
