Right now, you may be thinking that the Carnivore Diet is just a version of the ketogenic diet. While you are kind of right, this is a stricter version of the ketogenic diet. This diet is high protein and high fat. If you are on paleo or keto right now, the transition into the Carnivore Diet will most likely be easier for you.
The Carnivore Diet is a much more extreme ketogenic diet. When people cut carbohydrates from their diet, it places the body into a state of ketosis. This is why the Carnivore Diet could potentially help individuals improve their athletic performance, lose weight, and improve mental clarity.
The Carnivore Diet is also noted as a kind of elimination diet. When people get rid of the foods that are irritating their bodies, they begin to feel better. While this may not be directly attributed to the meat itself, it does improve overall health benefits for a short while. With that being said, it is pretty easy to get started!
How Does it Work?
As of right now, there is no direct research on the Carnivore Diet, as it is just starting to gain popularity. However, there is extensive research into related diets such as the ketogenic, low-carb, and zero-fiber diet, all related to the Carnivore Diet.
The basic concept of the Carnivore Diet is placing your body into ketosis. Once you have entered ketosis, your body begins to use ketones as fuel instead of carbohydrates, because there won't be any to burn! There are many benefits related to ketoses, such as appetite suppression, weight loss, and decreased inflammation. In theory, this means that individuals will receive the same benefits from an all-meat diet.

With this being said, your metabolism will begin to shift when it is no longer running on carbohydrates. As a direct result, your nutrient needs will begin to shift, as well. An example of this would be the fact that when your body metabolized glucose, it used vitamin A to do so. When you cut the carbs out, your body will no longer need vitamin A for this process. As mentioned earlier, the studies have shown that an all-meat diet shows no results in nutrient deficiencies.
On that same note, there has been a rumor that a carnivore diet will cause scurvy due to a vitamin C deficiency. Back in the 18th century, scurvy was very common among sailors and pirates. This was thought to be due to the fact that they lacked fruits and vegetables while out at sea. As they were eating nothing but jerky, vitamin C deficiency would cause them to lose their teeth, skin, nails, and develop lesions.
