Short-term effects can include loss of fat and weight and muscle gain. Long-term effects can include risk of heart disease due to nutrient deficiencies and increased cholesterol.

The carnivore diet is not a balanced diet. Due to the heavy restrictions it lacks numerous things like folate, fibre, essential vitamins and minerals (like vitamin c). Only eating meat means eating a lot of animal fat (saturated fat), which means lots of LDL cholesterol. Lots of processed meats also have a lot of sodium which can increase blood pressure and other worse outcomes.

Other than the weight loss effects, pros of the carnivore diet is that it is causing people to have less brain fog and more energy. I couldn't really find scientific evidence on this however the girl in the video did say this and numerous other carnivores have mentioned this. I believe it is because there is lots of iron. Also, on a carnivore diet, one's body tends to switch to fat as the primary energy source (Texas Real Food).

Misconceptions are that because it allows weight loss it is a healthy diet that provides all necessary nutrients that regular diets cannot provide for you. Basically saying fruits and vegetables are unnecessary for health.

I seen that the DASH diet is a healthier diet to lose weight. I already know of the keto diet and I know that the keto diet has less restrictions like low carbs instead of 0 carbs which would not get rid of weight as fast, but definitely be healthier and more nutritious in the long run.

Compared to plant-based diets, carnivore diets have a more significant footprint on the environment like higher greenhouse gas emissions/resource consumption.

The absence of plants when performing the carnivore diet can lead to a shift in the microbial population and could influence deficiencies, weakened immune system and gut-related disorders. However, evidence-based research on the implications of the Carnivore Diet on gut microbiome health remains limited, and the long-term health outcomes are still a matter of ongoing investigation (Texas Real Food).
