Another said, “Dude my friend’s cholesterol or whatever was through the roof because of dairy, specifically butter,” adding, “That has me worried. Like, stroke level …”

Others raised their concerns about the long term effects of the carnivore diet with one person warning the it could create arthritis - the swelling and tenderness of one or more joints or Gout - a type of inflammatory arthritis that causes pain and swelling in your joints.
While the woman has yet to respond to viewers’ concerns, many came out in support of the diet plan with one person writing, “If the diet’s that bad, why do so many people feel amazing on it?”
A second added, “So much more energy, no more gut issues, no bloating, etc.”

Healthline reported the diet is intended to help with many health issues including weight loss, mood issues and blood sugar regulation.
