The carnivore diet has exploded in popularity, and some people swear it's the healthiest they've ever felt. But how much do we actually know about its effects on our long-term health? Looking for delicious, nutritious plant-based meals? Check out my meal plans for plenty of inspiration, whether you're a longtime vegan or just getting started! 👉 https://lp.simnettnutrition.com/meal-plans A brand-new scientific review just examined the carnivore diet and cardiovascular disease risk, and the findings are pretty eye-opening! In this video, I break down the research, including the reported health benefits, some concerning cholesterol numbers, potential nutritional shortcomings, and what the science actually tells us about eating exclusively animal products. I'm also joined by my friend Dr. Matthew Nagra, one of the researchers behind the paper, to discuss why feeling better in the short term doesn't necessarily mean a diet is beneficial for long-term health. I'm not here to dismiss anyone's personal experience. But if we're going to eliminate every single plant food from our diets in the name of better health, shouldn't we have some pretty convincing evidence to support that decision? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Have you tried the carnivore diet? What was your experience? Let me know in the comments!
