The viral carnivore diet

Greetings colleagues,

In a recent session, a patient expressed interest in adopting the carnivore diet, a regimen that's gained traction on social media for its extreme low-carb approach, focusing predominantly on proteins and fats. This diet is essentially a stricter variant of the ketogenic diet, designed to induce ketosis and promote rapid weight loss. However, potential health risks include elevated LDL cholesterol levels and possible kidney strain due to the high protein consumption.

I'm eager to gather insights from those of you who have recommended this diet to your patients. What are your assessments of its safety and effectiveness (given the risks) for patients seeking weight loss solutions?

Thanks in advance for your valuable input!
