The Carnivore Diet—an eating plan centred exclusively on animal-based foods—has been making waves in the media this week. If you’ve tuned into the buzz, you’ve probably come across debates about its potential benefits and risks, particularly in the world of performance nutrition.
At Compeat Performance, we’ve seen an influx of questions:
- Is the Carnivore Diet safe for athletes?
- Can it enhance performance better than other dietary approaches?
- Are there any hidden risks or long-term health concerns?
These are valid questions, especially given the diet’s restrictive nature and its growing popularity among fitness enthusiasts and high-performance athletes. While advocates claim it optimises energy levels, reduces inflammation, and supports recovery, the lack of plant-based nutrients raises important questions about its sustainability and overall health impacts.
So, is it just another fleeting trend, or does it hold the key to improved performance and recovery? We’ve explored these questions and more in our latest Facebook LIVE session.
👉 Watch the video below to hear our expert insights, evidence-based breakdown, and practical advice for anyone considering the Carnivore Diet.
