Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared details about his restrictive carnivore diet, consisting solely of meat and fermented foods, claiming significant weight loss and health benefits. He reported losing 20 pounds in 20 days and 40% of his visceral fat in a month, though some effects may be placebo-driven. Experts caution that while fermented foods can be beneficial, the carnivore diet lacks essential nutrients and could pose health risks. Kennedy emphasizes that his personal diet shouldn’t be seen as a standard for others and supports evidence-based science in public policy.
