This is a 1 year old archived thread on the popularity of carnivore. I found the discussion interesting, though no one was throwing studies around, one person noted the catch 22 that research can't be done on carnivore because it would be unethical to assign people to the diet because it has no research on it

I first saw it in an Australian news report on our national broadcaster's website, from a nutrition researcher explaining why there was no research

Now though they (nutrition researchers) are weakening their words. From "you'll die of scurvy and constipation" to "It helps a lot of people in the short term but we expect it to be dangerous in the long term" from cancer/overworked liver/whatever bullshit the FFQs are used to promote

Meanwhile Australian media in general - my search terms turned up the ABC (the Australian national broadcaster) and the Sydney Morning Herald - a commercial newspaper - talking about 1. The diet being popular and unstudied, and 2. The diet being incredibly popular among athletes (although many are sponsored by companies like Sanitarian and don't feel they can talk about food)

Overall pretty good reporting. An Australian Institute of Sport spokesperson compared it to veganism, but said "It's easy to meet dietary needs, where vegans have to work very hard to ensure they have enough energy and nutrition to compete"

My favorite is: it works great for people with issues, but it's too boring - so it's unsustainable
