A formerly vegan influencer said eating a diet of only mean and animal products made her feel healthier than she ‘felt in years.’
Alyse Parker, who produces health and lifestyle videos for her approximately 728,000 YouTube subscribers, experimented with the carnivore diet for 30 days and posted the results earlier this month.
Parker became well known as an advocate advocate for an all-plant diet, but announced she would be on an all-meat diet for an entire month. People on the carnivore diet only eat meat and animal products, such as dairy and eggs.
‘The Carnivore Diet first came into my awareness when a close friend shared with me all of the benefits that he was experiencing by eating this way,’ she wrote in a Instagram post announcing the diet challenge, which featured a photo of herself posing with a slab of raw steak.
She later said she ‘woke up the next morning feeling more mentally clear, focused, wholesome, and healthy than I had felt in years’ after starting the diet.
The carnivore diet has increased in popularity recently and claims to promote weight loss, increase mood and regulate blood sugar among other health issues, according to Healthline.
It aims to eliminate carbohydrate consumption and stems from the highly-debated belief that early humans ate mostly meat and fish.

Throughout the month, Parker allowed herself two exceptions, coffee and macha tea.
Although Parker survived her month on the carnivore diet and claimed it improved her health, she was confronted with a wave a backlash from her fans, many of whom seem to be advocates of the vegan diet.
‘Idk what to say. this made me so sad,’ one viewer wrote on the video.
‘She’s doing this for views. Never watching her BS again,’ another wrote.
‘Wow I’ve never met anyone else that I can’t stand as much as you. So unstable. Get help,’ a third said.
