Tag: Carnivore ketosis

While standard ketogenic diets allow some plant-based foods, the carnivore diet is a stricter variant that pushes the body into ketosis through the near-complete elimination of carbohydrates. Achieving ketosis requires a metabolic shift where the body burns fat for fuel instead of glucose. This guide will detail the steps and considerations for entering this metabolic state while following an animal-based protocol.

According to a 2025 review in *ScienceDirect*, artificial sweeteners can modify gut microbiota and potentially trigger insulin production. This raises a critical question for meat-only dieters: will zero sugar electrolyte drinks kick you out of ketosis as a carnivore? The short answer is they might, depending on the specific ingredients and your individual response.
