Topics

	Meatritionist	A doctor or medical professional who studies or promotes exclusive meat diets
	Obesity
	Facultative Carnivore	Facultative Carnivore describes the concept of animals that are technically omnivores but who thrive off of all meat diets. Humans may just be facultative carnivores - who need no plant products for long-term nutrition.
	Oxalates
	Lectins	Lectins are a diverse group of proteins or glycoproteins that are found in many plants and some animals. They are capable of binding to specific carbohydrate molecules on the surface of cells and are involved in various biological processes. In plants, lectins play a role in defense against predators, as they can bind to carbohydrates on the surface of microorganisms, insects, or other animals, disrupting their digestive systems or acting as toxins. Lectins are found in a wide range of plant foods, including legumes (such as beans, lentils, and peas), grains (like wheat and rice), and certain fruits and vegetables. In terms of their potential effects on human health, lectins have gained attention due to their ability to interact with the cells lining the gut. Some proponents of certain diets, such as the lectin-free diet, argue that consuming foods high in lectins can lead to adverse health effects, including digestive issues, inflammation, and autoimmune conditions.
	Plants
	Fiber	Fiber, also known as dietary fiber or roughage, refers to the indigestible portion of plant foods. It is a type of carbohydrate that cannot be broken down by human digestive enzymes. Instead, it passes through the digestive system relatively intact, adding bulk to the stool and aiding in the regularity of bowel movements. It isn't technically classified as an essential nutrient. The term "essential" in nutrition refers to nutrients that the body cannot produce on its own (or cannot produce in sufficient quantities) and therefore must obtain from the diet
	Carnivore Diet	The carnivore diet involves eating only animal products such as meat, fish, dairy, eggs, marrow, meat broths, organs. There are little to no plants in the diet.
	Ketogenic Diet	The ketogenic diet involves eating high fat, low carbs, and moderate protein. To be in ketosis, one must eat less than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day.
