Heard in 2 episodes across 2 shows since Aug 2026

A meat-based diet, commonly referred to as the carnivore diet or zero-carb diet, is a restrictive dietary regimen where only animal products such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy are consumed. It excludes all plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. Health professionals generally classify it as a fad diet due to its lack of dietary fiber and essential vitamins, which can increase the risk of chronic nutritional deficiencies and cardiovascular issues.
