Carnivore Diet
-Learn Carnivore through Quick Cards-
What is Carnivore Diet?
The Carnivore Diet is an eating approach based entirely on animal foods.
People who follow it eat foods like beef, pork, chicken, fish, eggs, and sometimes dairy.
All plant foods — fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds — are removed.
The idea behind the diet is simple:
eat nutrient-dense animal products and eliminate foods that may cause inflammation or digestive issues.
Supporters believe this simplifies eating, stabilizes energy and hunger, and may help with certain digestive or autoimmune problems. It’s high in protein and fat, and extremely low in carbohydrates, which puts most people into a natural fat-burning state.
Because it’s very restrictive, the Carnivore Diet isn’t for everyone — and results vary — but it appeals to people who feel best on a clean, meat-focused way of eating.

Is Carnivore right for me?
The carnivore diet may be right for you if you prefer extremely simple eating with only animal-based foods. It focuses on meat, fish, eggs, and animal fats while removing all plant foods. People choose it for rapid fat loss, reduced inflammation, improved digestion, or to eliminate food sensitivities.
You may benefit from the carnivore diet if you want to:
Cut out all plant foods and simplify eating
Reduce bloating or digestive irritation
Eat high-protein, high-fat meals that keep you full
Try an elimination-style diet to find food triggers
Lose fat quickly by lowering carbs to near zero
This diet works best for people who enjoy meat-heavy meals and don’t mind strict rules. It may not fit you if you prefer variety, enjoy fruits or vegetables, or want a more flexible long-term approach.
