Is carnivore diet good fir depression
Sources:
The carnivore diet has not been sufficiently studied to know whether it helps depression. Only a very small number of controlled studies have examined an all-meat diet for depression, so its benefits are uncertain.
- Carbohydrate restriction: Some people may feel better after reducing carbohydrates, but that does not show that an all-meat diet is effective; the reported example involved a vegetarian who restricted carbs without following a ketogenic diet.
- Ketogenic diet: It has been explored more for depression and other mood disorders, including treatment-resistant depression, but the evidence is still developing and includes case studies and pilot research rather than large definitive trials.
- Medical supervision: For chronic or serious depression—especially when taking psychiatric medication—dietary interventions should be done with a medical professional, since medications may need adjustment and nutritional status may need monitoring.
