While many people swear by its ability to promote weight loss and improve digestion and brain power, others decry its avoidance of fruits and vegetables.
This article lays out a complete seven-day carnivore diet meal plan. We’ll also explore the diet’s benefits and potential drawbacks, along with meal planning strategies and tips for adjusting the carnivore diet for specific goals.

Then, in 2018 orthopedic surgeon Shawn Baker wrote a book called The Carnivore Diet. The diet soon became a viral sensation. Several well-known figures, including Jordan Peterson, became vocal advocates of the diet.

These diseases did not exist when we were solely meat eaters.
