What is the "lion" diet and how safe is it: nutritionists versus personal experience
15.07.2024 21:21
This diet may not be as widely known as the Mediterranean diet, but its creator and followers claim to have achieved incredible results.
Nutritionists, in turn, do not advise giving in to influence, and here's why.
"Lion" diet
As the predatory name suggests, the diet involves eating meat.
The developer of the concept is Canadian blogger Mikhaila Peterson, who does not have a medical education, but that’s by the way.
The plan developed by the blogger in 2017 is not a scientific development, but a personal experience. Therefore, adopting a diet is tantamount to playing Russian roulette.
Result of the diet
Ms. Peterson says the diet has helped her overcome chronic and autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue, acne and depression).
The blogger advises eating red meat and salt, and drinking water. The author provides nothing but personal observations to support his words.
Scientists' answer
Following a meat-only diet comes with a lot of risks, writes Super , citing Women's Health.
At the same time, a deficiency of nutrients is not the last thing you will have to face.
Without carbohydrates, you will have difficulty concentrating, you will feel unwell, and there is no doubt that dieters will experience keto flu.
