Carnivore diet
Carnivore diet is a monotrophic diet that involves eating only meat. It has attracted criticism from nutritionists in regards to being potentially damaging to health, [1][2][3] as well as various anecdotes and case studies claiming health benefits.
Description
Proponents, who include Joe Rogan,[4][5] Jordan Peterson,[6] Shawn Baker[7] and the like, have reported anecdotal successes 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]
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.[11] They avoid anything plant-based such as fruits and vegetables.[12]
Although health benefits claimed of carnivore diet come primarily from anecdotes, there have been medical case studies as well. A variation of carnivore diet known as Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet (PKD)[13] is reported to have successfully managed tumour growth (see cancer)[14] and Type 1 diabetes.[15]
