The Carnivore diet, also called a "zero carb" diet,^[1] is a fad diet in which only animal products such as meat, eggs, and dairy are consumed.^[2]^[3] The carnivore diet is not supported by science, and it has attracted criticism from nutritionists.^[3]

History

The diet was originated by former orthopedic surgeon Shawn Baker and received significant media attention due to its vocal adherents Jordan Peterson who claims the diet cured his depression, and his daughter, who says it cured her depression and rheumatoid arthritis.^[4] However, there’s no research to support these claims and certainly no randomized controlled trials that might help rule out placebo effect.^[4]

Diet

People following a carnivore diet consume only animal-based products, such as beef, pork, poultry, and seafood.^[5]^[6] Some may eat eggs, dairy products, and milk.^[6] The carnivore diet excludes plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables, although coffee and spices may be consumed.^[6]^[7]^[8]

Health and environmental concerns

Dieticians dismiss the carnivore diet as a fad diet.^[2]^[3] There is no clinical evidence that the diet is safe or provides any health benefits.^[5]^[6] The carnivore diet has attracted criticism from physicians and nutritionists as being potentially dangerous to health (see Meat § Health).^[5]^[6]^[9] Criticism also derives from concerns about greenhouse gas emissions associated with large-scale livestock farming required to produce meats commercially, and the potential for such emissions to worsen climate change (see environmental impact of meat production).^[6]
