People on a weight loss diet usually incorporate low-calorie items in their meals. But a man attempted something different by trying a 'carnivore diet' which included foods like hamburgers, cheese, and sticks of butter. While he claimed the diet led to weight loss, improvement in his energy levels and mental clarity, his cholesterol levels skyrocketed, to the extent that his blood lipids started oozing out from the body in the form of localized lipid deposits.
The carnivore diet is a restrictive diet which only allows animal-based foods, like meat, fish, eggs, and some dairy. It excludes all plant-based foods, like fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds. The proponents say it can help with inflammation, improve mental health, stabilize blood sugar, and improve heart health.
