The carnivore diet has surged in popularity as a weight-loss method, focusing exclusively on animal products while excluding all plant-based foods. Nutritionists, however, express skepticism regarding its effectiveness in reducing visceral fat, noting that fat loss is often linked to reduced calorie consumption rather than the diet's inherent qualities. Experts like Mugdha Pradhan and Ginni Kalra emphasize that while the diet may temporarily improve insulin sensitivity and lead to quick fat loss, it lacks sustainability and poses potential health risks. Long-term adherence can result in nutrient deficiencies and poor gut health due to the absence of dietary fiber and micronutrients. They advocate for balanced dietary approaches, such as the Mediterranean diet, which incorporates both animal and plant-based foods, as more effective for lasting fat loss and overall health. Modifications to the carnivore diet, such as including vegetables and fruits, are suggested to enhance its safety and effectiveness.
