"Ex-vegan turned carnivore Isabella Ma, better known to her nearly half a million followers on Instagram as @steakandbuttergal, has glowing skin and a flat stomach. She looks directly at the camera as she chomps down on an entire stick of butter. It's part of her high fat carnivore diet to which she attributes a whole host of health benefits, not least of which is the claim she literally never fart[s] any more and has a single scentless bowel movement a week."
"A lot of gym bros also back the diet touted for helping people lose weight and build muscle, such as Antonio Angotti, who says the fat in red meat includes almost every nutrient humans need to thrive and invokes religion as part of his dietary choices, saying he eats just foods God will actually bless. It's also been platformed by Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson."
"It's an all-meat or predominantly meat diet, often incorporating other animal-based products like eggs and dairy products but very little or no plants or carbohydrates. Some people adhere to it by eating solely animal-based products, while others have variations that might include some fruits or vegetables. What do the experts think of it?"
The carnivore diet consists of eating only or predominantly animal-based foods, including meat, eggs, and dairy, with minimal or no plant foods or carbohydrates. Proponents claim benefits such as clearer skin, reduced gas, fewer bowel movements, weight loss, and muscle gains; some invoke religious or cultural reasoning for food choices. High-profile figures and influencers have popularized the approach on social platforms. Nutrition experts raise concerns about high risk of deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals, notably vitamin C and folate, and the virtual absence of dietary fiber. Experts also warn about missing bioactive compounds like antioxidants that support chronic disease prevention.
