There is a new trend of carnivore diets and I've noticed a lot of testimonials on youtube, where people swear they can eat as much meat as they want and still lose weight. Also some supposedly cured inflammations and other issues, probably because eating only meat is an extreme elimination diet.

It is however a very tasty elimination diet. I've tried it; ate all kinds of beef, lamb, pork, and fish: muscle meat, liver, roe, eggs, and somes dairy. Re: inflammation - I don't know what my hsCRP was beforehand, but during this experiment it was below the detectable range; all other inflammatory markers were low as well (insulin, IFG-1, fibrinogen, homocysteine, ferritin). I was only hungry about once a day, and leaned out quite a bit.
