The carnivore diet focuses on consuming primarily animal products, emphasising the high intake of wild game or pasture-raised meats while largely excluding plant-based foods. This diet has garnered attention for its potential health benefits, such as improved well-being and satisfaction, but also raises concerns about nutrient deficiencies in areas typically covered by plant foods, like vitamin C and magnesium. To counter these deficiencies, adherents often supplement with vitamins B12, D, and omega-3 fatty acids. While the diet may positively impact metabolic health and diabetes management, it also carries risks related to increased consumption of red meat and its potential effects on cardiovascular health.
