Carnivore diet, also called a "zero carb" diet,^[1] is a monotrophic diet that involves eating only meat. It has attracted criticism from nutritionists.^[1]

Diet

People following a carnivore diet consume only animal-based products like beef, pork, poultry, and seafood; and some may also eat eggs, dairy, and milk.^[2] They avoid anything plant-based such as fruits and vegetables.^[3]

Anecdotes and case studies

There is no medical consensus that the carnivore diet is healthy in the long-term.

Proponents of the diet, which includes Joe Rogan,^[4]^[5] Jordan Peterson,^[6] Shawn Baker^[7] and the like, have reported anecdotes of putting into remission medical conditions such as arthritis,^[8] fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, migraines, IBS and chronic mental illness^[9], as well as autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.^[10]

Case studies have been published on a variation of carnivore diet known as Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet (PKD), which emphasizes fat and organ meats,^[11] indicating successful treatment of certain cancers,^[12]^[13]^[14], including glioblastoma,^[15] Crohn's disease,^[16] Type 1 diabetes^[17] and childhood absence epilepsy^[18] in some patients.

Despite the positive anecdotes and case studies, however. carnivore diet has attracted criticism from nutritionists in regards to being potentially damaging to health.^[19]^[20]^[21]

In ethnic groups

The Inuit traditionally followed a carnivore diet―eating number of fatty meats such as seal, walrus, whale, caribou and fish, while rarely eating plant fiber. In addition, they ate "every part of the animal" (see offal) and some of it raw (raw meat).^[22] About a decade ago the Canadian explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson adopted an Inuit-style diet for five years, eating "steaks, chops, organ meats like brain and liver, poultry, fish, and fat with gusto".^[23]

The ethnic group native to northern arctic Russia, Nenets, ate mainly reindeer meat and fish.^[24]^[25]
