Carnivore
The Carnivore diet proposes that humans are fundamentally meat-eaters, emphasizing meat, fish, and certain animal products while entirely avoiding plant-based foods. Supporters argue it can promote weight loss, enhance mental clarity, and alleviate various health conditions. This diet starkly contrasts with plant-based diets, such as Vegan or Mediterranean. The Carnivore diet may appeal to those favoring animal-based foods and who can handle a highly restrictive diet.

Carnivore Diet
Followers of the Carnivore diet believe in a dietary approach that is starkly different from most other diets. They adhere to the principle that human beings are primarily designed to eat meat and fish, and they avoid plant-based foods, arguing that our ancestors did not evolve to consume them.
Adherents believe that this meat-focused diet can lead to weight loss, improved mental clarity, and a reduction in symptoms related to various health conditions. They often emphasize the high protein content and the availability of certain nutrients in animal products.
Mostly, they eat meat, fish, and other animal products like eggs and certain dairy products. This is a contrast to the Plant-Based, Vegan, or Vegetarian diets, which exclude meat and other animal products.
Foods avoided in the Carnivore diet include fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds. Followers believe these plant-based foods can cause inflammation and other health problems. This perspective starkly contrasts with diets like the Mediterranean or Blue Zone diets, which heavily promote plant foods for their health benefits.
The Carnivore diet could appeal to those who believe in the primacy of animal-based foods and are comfortable with an extremely restrictive diet. Unlike flexible diets like Flexitarian or Foodie, the Carnivore diet demands strict adherence to its principles.
