The carnivore diet involves consuming only animal-based foods, excluding plants and carbs.

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA | NOW THEN DIGITAL — A carnivore diet meal plan includes only animal-based foods, such as meat, eggs, and dairy, with zero carbohydrates.

Diana Rodgers, RD, of Sustainable Dish, notes, “The carnivore diet often follows paleo or keto.” Paleo emphasizes fresh fruits, veggies, grass-fed meats, and seafood while cutting sugars, grains, dairy, and legumes.

Unlike other high-protein, low-carb diets, the carnivore diet permits no carbs, focusing solely on animal-derived foods, as explained by Kelly Schmidt, RD.

Foods allowed on the carnivore diet:

  • Meat: beef, bison, elk, pork, etc.
  • Fish and seafood: salmon, tuna, shrimp, etc.
  • Eggs
  • Dairy (if tolerated): cheese, butter, heavy cream
  • Animal fats: tallow, lard, duck fat
  • Bone broth
  • Salt and pepper

It’s a controversial diet, and consulting a healthcare provider before starting is advised.
