A woman followed the carnivore diet and ended up in hospital. The woman, 23, is a social media influencer. She explained how her high-protein diet gave her kidney stones. These are small stones in our urine caused by eating too much high-protein food. They cause pain when peeing. The woman ate only animal-based food in her final year of college. She had two or three eggs and a steak every day. She was shocked when she saw blood in her urine.
The carnivore diet is becoming more popular. Many people on social media are promoting it. Some say it raises our energy levels and encourages positive thinking. However, health experts warn that eating too much meat, fish and dairy products is bad for us. This is because there is not enough fibre in the diet. This can lead to health problems and heart disease. The woman told people not to eat too much protein. She said: "Don't neglect your fibre intake."
