Another new diet especially for those who want to lose a few extra pounds is called the carnivore diet.
What it really is - only specialists in a narrow field know. According to experts, this is another extreme diet.
Nutritionist, gastroenterologist and psychologist of food behavior Nuria Dianova spoke about the sad consequences of this form of weight loss on air at Radio 1 .
Harm to health
This is an extreme form of low-carb diet.
The diet consists of meat and animal protein (but not fish), vegetables, and fruits. The diet requires refusing carbohydrates – bread, pasta, and other foods.
The expert calls the carnivore diet an even more severe form of the keto diet, which causes serious harm to health.
Consequences
At the very least, following this diet is fraught with depression and breakdowns.
Long-term abstinence from healthy food will lead to constipation and disruption of intestinal function, which will not be restored quickly and easily.
Treatment may take six months or more.
Also, a load on the liver cannot be ruled out; there is a risk of developing urolithiasis, for the treatment of which expensive drugs are used.
But after recovering from the diet, you will need to start eating meat with caution, the specialist warns.
