Those who follow the carnivore eating plan typically substitute fish, meat, eggs, and water for vegetables, fruits, and other carbs in their diet.
Nonetheless, there are certain health advantages to the strict diet, such as the ability to enhance blood sugar regulation and maybe kick-start a weight-loss regimen.
Nevertheless, it is not advised.
One woman, Laura Sliazaite, a former strict raw vegan who had trouble with bleeding gums and joint discomfort, says she has felt changes.
The 39-year-old acknowledged, prior to 2014, that, after going 13 years without eating meat, she experienced low vitamin levels and itchy skin.
Sliazaite, a self-described food “obsessive,” was curious as to whether her diet was the cause of her issues.
She then started adding different food groups back into her diet, starting with dairy and eggs and working her way up to fish and meat.
The IT professional told What’s The Jam about the initial stages of her experiment: “After the first of the 30 days, I started feeling so amazing, full of energy, and my digestion was better.”
“I decided to do 100 days, and by the time that had finished, I knew this was going to be my lifestyle.”
She added: “I get a lot of bad comments on Instagram saying I will soon be dead, I will clog my arteries, I will die from a heart attack, and that I’m ruining my digestion.”
“I feel the carnivore diet changed something in my brain,” she explained.
“My sleeping issues completely disappeared, so now I touch the pillow and I am out, and I wake up before my alarm – whereas before I would barely sleep three hours a night.”
The Londoner went on to say that her digestion problems have “gone” and that her “body shape has improved” after giving up veggies.
“My energy is always stable now – I don’t have the dips where I need a snack or get coffee.”
She claimed that she used to regularly spend £100 ($130) a week on nuts, berries, and greens before she started eating meat.
“I do my grocery shopping once or twice a week and I get lots of steaks, lots of beef mince, organic eggs, some cheese and double cream for my coffee.”
She continued by saying that her weekly supermarket purchase now costs between £50 ($64) and £70 ($90).
