The Claim

Among 24 German adults following a carnivore diet, 15 (62.5%) reported their diet as ketogenic, with a median daily meat intake of 515 grams (range: 250–1,500 g), and 92% consumed organ meats, 75% consumed eggs, and 58% consumed dairy, indicating that most participants followed a high-animal-protein, high-fat dietary pattern that frequently included nutrient-dense animal foods.

Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English
