Carnivorism, also sometimes called “the carnivorous diet” or “pure carnivore diet”, is the dietary practice of abstaining from the consumption of non animal sourced foods; especially plant foods (fruit, leaf vegetables, root vegetables, nuts, grains, etc), and may or may not require the abstention or limiting of other animal sourced non-meat based foods. Carnivorism attracts many of the same criticisms that fruitarianism attracts, related to its long term unsustainability and concerns over it not being a nutritionally complete balanced diet.

Terminology
The name assigned to the diet comes from the word carnivore meaning "meat eater" (Latin, caro, genitive carnis, meaning "meat" or "flesh" and vorare meaning "to devour") and -ism.

Diet
The pure carnivore diet is essentially a very low or no-carbohydrate diet. It distinguishes itself from the primal diet, the paleolithic diet, and the ketogenic diet by making meat, especially red meat from livestock the required and sole staple food as well as banning all, or nearly all, plant foods.

In essence, it’s the opposite of a plant-based diet

Avoidance
Carnivorism teaches the shunning of plant foods that are recommended by all Omni-study, quasi-vegetarian (e.g, pescetarian, flexitarian), and complete-vegetarian nutritional advice for healthfulness.

Other Criticisms
Many nutrition experts and non-expert critics a like consider carnivorism to be a fad diet.
