In the realm of unconventional diets, Bella, a self-proclaimed ‘carnivore,’ has stirred up a storm on TikTok with her regimen, which involves almost two dozen eggs and a block of butter daily. Once a vegan, Bella claims that her extreme carnivorous diet has miraculously healed her from various ailments: eczema, psoriasis, cystic acne, and rosacea. And really, what’s a little heart disease, compared to the woes of acne?
Bella’s daily food diary reveals a truly extraordinary diet—in the AM, she devours a whole block of butter, followed by 10 scrambled eggs cooked in beef fat. For dinner, she opts for sautéed beef paired with a side of 12 poached eggs—how many poached eggs before it’s not really a “side” though? She attributes her lean physique, boosted libido, weight loss, and lack of sugar cravings to her saturated fat consumption (should I cut fat out if I want to decrease my libido? Asking for a friend…) In fact, she claims her carnivorous diet has healed her both inside and out. This is technically the “keto diet,” which I personally blame for Joe Rogan’s listeners being the way they are. But Bella seems nice.

The online community is divided over Bella’s dietary choices. While some express concerns about the potential health risks, others defend her, citing personal experiences of improved well-being through similar diets.
Health professionals and experts have weighed in on Bella’s extreme carnivorous diet, too, which is how she knows she’s made it on TikTok. The National Health Service (NHS) emphasized the importance of maintaining a balanced diet, incorporating a wide variety of foods in the right proportions to achieve and sustain a healthy body weight (in Bella’s defense, she eats eggs both poached and scrambled, that’s variety!) Healthline stated that no controlled studies support the claims that the carnivore diet can address health issues, especially without essential nutrients like fiber and antioxidants. The controversy surrounding the diet also brings attention to conflicting evidence in the field of nutrition. None of us know anything, really.
