In a rare case, a man's "carnivore diet" caused large, yellow bumps to grow from his hands, feet and elbows.
A so-called carnivore diet typically involves restricting what you eat to food that is high in animal proteins and fats, such as meat, poultry, eggs and fish. For eight months before his symptoms appeared, the man had been consuming a high amount of fat in his diet. Doctors involved in his case described how his dietary habits included a "high intake of fats, consisting of 6 to 9 lb [pounds, or 3 to 4 kilograms] of cheese, sticks of butter, and additional fat incorporated into his daily hamburgers."
