The primary diet of carnivores, specifically the carnivore diet, consists entirely of meat and animal products, including beef, chicken, pork, fish, and eggs. It excludes all plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds, aiming for a zero-carb intake. This restrictive diet claims to support weight loss and improve various health issues, but lacks sufficient scientific research to back these claims [2][5][6].

While proponents argue it can lead to weight loss and other benefits, experts warn it may be high in saturated fat and cholesterol, increasing risks for heart disease and other health problems. Furthermore, the diet is deficient in essential nutrients such as fiber and certain vitamins [1][2][4][6].
