"Doctor Warns Against 'Carnivore Diet' Endorsed by Fitness Influencers"

Influencers are promoting the "carnivore diet," which emphasizes meat while minimizing or eliminating fruits and vegetables, claiming benefits such as weight loss and improved health. However, experts warn that the diet lacks essential nutrients like fiber, carotenoids, and polyphenols found in plant-based foods, and is high in saturated fat and cholesterol. Studies have linked red meat consumption to health issues, and the diet's environmental impact is also a concern. Despite some supporters disputing these claims, experts caution against the long-term health and environmental implications of the carnivore diet.
