What is a carnivore diet?

The health hub WebMD explains that a carnivore diet sees people cutting out carbohydrates and only consuming animal products with the thought that it will burn fat for energy and allow people to lose weight.

Benefits of the carnivore diet

Other than weight loss, the carnivore diet's other supposed benefits include improved mood, heart health, autoimmune issues, and blood sugar control.

The above-mentioned publication notes:

"It's hard to know if or how this diet might improve health since there's been very little research on the subject."

Side effects of the carnivore diet

WebMD states that by omitting certain food groups, the carnivore diet could leave people short on important minerals and vitamins.
