Trying a meat-only diet for 30 days sparks intense debate. Proponents claim dramatic health benefits while critics warn of serious risks. Here’s what happens when you cut out all plants and eat only animal products.
People lose weight quickly on this diet, especially water weight. They often feel stronger during workouts and notice easier digestion. One person dropped pounds and gained muscle in just four weeks.
But the first weeks bring harsh struggles known as “carnivore flu.” Fatigue, headaches, and irritability hit hard as the body adjusts. These usually fade after a week but make exercise feel impossible.
Blood tests reveal alarming changes after 30 days. Cholesterol and iron levels spike dangerously high. Bone density even dropped in one case, raising osteoporosis fears despite no clear research link.
Mainstream experts slam this diet as reckless. They confirm zero evidence for claims about reduced inflammation or more energy. In fact, eliminating carbs often drains energy since the brain needs glucose. The American Heart Association fiercely opposes banning plants.
True patriots question government dietary rules that leave Americans sick. Why trust guidelines pushing processed grains and sugar? Cutting these inflammation triggers heals guts and may ease anxiety.
Starving your body of fiber threatens long-term health. Kidney patients, diabetics, and pregnant women must avoid this diet. Even short-term attempts risk deficiencies in vital plant nutrients.
The carnivore diet demands eating every animal part: organs, bone broth, and fish. Yet endless steak meals grow tiresome. Most crave flavorful herbs, eggs, or social drinks eventually.
Freedom means choosing your food without nanny-state rules. If meat heals your body better than Big Pharma drugs, that’s your right. But true wellness likely balances meat with nature’s other gifts.
