I followed trendy carnivore diet and ended up in the hospital with kidney stones— this was my daily diet

She’s got beef with this diet.

A woman who was partaking in the viral “carnivore diet” landed in the hospital after consuming too much protein.

A content creator from Dallas, known as Eve Catherine, shared in a TikTok video that she used to have a breakfast consisting of two or three eggs, followed by high-protein yogurt for lunch, and then a New York strip steak for dinner.

While her primary care doctor had noticed a higher level of protein in her urine at her annual check-up, she brushed it off — until she needed to be rushed to the emergency room.

“I literally woke up one day and I was peeing straight blood,” recalled the 23-year-old, who previously claimed she was once “addicted to protein,” adding that she was put on morphine at the hospital and passed a kidney stone.

She claimed that her symptoms were a result of her high protein intake. According to Mayo Clinic, high protein diets “may worsen how well a kidney works in people with kidney disease,” hindering how the body filters out protein waste products.

High protein diets can also sometimes limit the amount of fiber consumed, resulting in constipation, headaches and foul breath, or increase the risk of heart disease due to eating foods high in saturated fat, like red meat or processed meat.

“The carnivore diet is so stupid,” the TikTokker lamented.

The carnivore diet made waves on social media in recent years as influencers flocked to try the wellness fad, which consists of mostly eating protein sources like beef, poultry, fish, pork and other animal byproducts.

Experts have previously warned about the link between the Joe Rogan-approved carnivore diet and kidney stones, hard deposits that are painful to pass.

Health experts have also cautioned that the way of eating was inflammatory and pro-aging, warning that it’s like “playing with fire.”

While health fanatics were quick to dismiss the creator’s health scare in the comments, others thanked her for “bringing awareness” to the side effects of trendy diets.

“Don’t eat too much protein, OK?” Eve Catherine said. “Don’t neglect your fiber intake.”
