The Carnivore Diet: A Comprehensive Look at Its Pros, Cons and Supplementation Needs

by Kunal K April 24, 2024 5 min read

Carnivore Diet

The carnivore diet focuses on consuming primarily animal products, emphasising the high intake of wild game or pasture-raised meats while largely excluding plant-based foods. This diet has garnered attention for its potential health benefits, such as improved well-being and satisfaction, but also raises concerns about nutrient deficiencies in areas typically covered by plant foods, like vitamin C and magnesium. To counter these deficiencies, adherents often supplement with vitamins B12, D, and omega-3 fatty acids. While the diet may positively impact metabolic health and diabetes management, it also carries risks related to increased consumption of red meat and its potential effects on cardiovascular health.

Magnesium

It takes 10-15 years or prediabetes before clinical Type 2 diabetes is typically diagnosed. That is to say, it takes years of overconsumption of simple carbs, processed foods combined with a high stress (sympathetic-dominant) lifestyle. It's a long process with plenty of time to intervene using something as simple as 410mg of magnesium a day, before the body (and mind) break down irreversibly.
