Is the Carnivore Diet safe?

 The latest trend is following a Carnivore Diet, but is it a healthy way to eat? Decide for yourself by looking at what exactly this diet entails. 

On this diet, you can have:

• Black coffee
• Butter
• Eggs
• Fish
• Ghee
• Meat
• Poultry
• Sauces or gravies made with meat drippings
• Small amounts of low-lactose dairy
• Water

What you Cannot have: 

• Alcohol
• Fruits
• Grains
• Legumes
• Nuts
• Seeds
• Vegetables

The only good thing is they don't want you to drink Alcohol, but not allowed to have the healthy fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds? This is where the very unhealthy and even dangerous part of the diet comes in. You will have a higher risk of Heart disease and Colon Cancer due to no fiber and high amounts of Fat from meat and dairy. It is also very high in Sodium, which is especially bad for those suffering from High Blood Pressure. 

Take a look at these Articles and please do your research before getting on this VERY unhealthy diet. Your health problems will improve initially, BUT eventually you will ruin your health once it all catches up with you. The reason your health will improve at first is because you are getting rid of processed foods, but you need to eat the foods on  the restricted list in order to live a long and healthy life, and avoid the diseases associated with consuming these unhealthy foods.
