Want to eat the exact opposite of plant-based? Then the carnivore diet has you covered. A diet that consists entirely of animal foods and zero carbs and plants, it offers the promise of weight loss and a cure for all that ails you from autoimmune diseases to depression.

In this podcast, I look at what created the carnivore diet trend, what it involves, and importantly: what can we say about its health merits.
