The latest diet trend sweeping social media has been slammed by a nutritionist. The 'Lion Diet' sees people eat only meat, salt and water in a bid to improve their health, but not everyone is convinced of the apparent health benefits.
The restrictive diet has gained widespread attention on TikTok, with some users explaining the apparent benefits they have found from following it. Avid followers of the diet have reported improvements in their mood, the alleviation of allergies and intolerances and relief from issues like insomnia or headaches.
The diet sees people eat meat from ruminant animals - animals with rumens - including cows, deer, lamb and goat, and nothing else. The Lion Diet creator, Mikhaila Peterson, says she managed to heal years of health issues by following the strict rules.
