Why this site exists

The carnivore diet attracts strong opinions. Advocates describe dramatic improvements; critics warn about heart disease and nutrient gaps. Most of what's online picks a side and stops there.

CarnivoreDieting.com is built to be different: a reference you can trust whichever way you lean. We're interested in the carnivore diet as a tool for health and longevity, which means caring as much about year ten as about week two.

Our editorial standards

• We cite sources — peer-reviewed papers, government datasets and primary historical documents — and link to them so you can check our work.
• We label the evidence. A randomized trial, an observational study, an online survey, a mechanism and an anecdote are not the same thing, and we say which is which.
• We cover drawbacks as seriously as benefits. LDL cholesterol, micronutrient gaps, medication interactions and who shouldn't try this diet all get their own articles.
• We disclose limits and conflicts. When a study was funded by an interested party (the 1928 Bellevue experiment was funded by the Institute of American Meat Packers, for example), we say so.
• We correct mistakes. If a study is retracted or new evidence changes the picture, we update the article and its date.
• Reader stories are moderated and kept separate from the science. They're valuable as lived experience, not as proof.

What we are not

We are not your doctor. Nothing here is medical advice, and nothing here should replace care from a clinician who knows your history. If you take medication for blood sugar or blood pressure in particular, changing your diet can change what you need — quickly.
