There are many diets we can follow. A woman followed the carnivore diet and ended up in hospital. The woman, 23, is a social media influencer. She explained on TikTok how her high-protein diet gave her kidney stones. These are small stones created in our urine. They cause pain when peeing. They are caused by eating too many processed and high-protein foods. The woman said she ate only animal-based food in her final year of college. She had two or three eggs and a steak every day. She was shocked after she saw blood in her urine.
The carnivore diet is growing in popularity. Many influencers on social media are promoting its benefits. Some say a protein-only diet raises our energy levels and encourages positive thinking. However, health experts warn that eating too much meat, fish and dairy products is bad for our health. This is because there is not enough fibre in the diet. This can lead to health problems and increase the risk of heart disease. The woman advised people not to eat too much protein. She said: "Don't neglect your fibre intake." Kidney stones affect about one in ten people worldwide.
