The carnivore diet may help manage certain chronic conditions, but its impact on micronutrient adequacy and metabolic adaptations remains unclear.
Metabolic changes, such as the sparing effects of carnitine on vitamin C, might reduce nutrient requirements.
Chronic metabolic diseases are on the rise, prompting interest in alternative diets like the carnivore diet for their therapeutic potential.
The study examined the micronutrient adequacy of four versions of the carnivore diet using NRVs.
The study used theoretical meal plans and single-day analyses, which may not represent long-term patterns.
