Recently, more and more people are deciding to become vegetarians and give up meat. But what if you completely give up vegetarian ideas and absolutely not eat vegetables?
Your body can go crazy. So don't do that, even if you really hate cauliflower.
First, eating meat alone leads to a lack of fiber in the body, which in turn leads to constipation and discomfort. And these are not the most unpleasant consequences.
Giving up carbohydrates means giving up the easiest way to get energy. The body will have to switch to burning fat and increasing the rate of protein breakdown to sustain life, which has a rather dangerous side effect.
Protein poisoning - the symptoms of which are dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, and from which there is a chance of death - is an excess of urea, which is produced in the liver when protein is converted into glucose for energy.
Rabbit meat is even more dangerous in this sense. It contains so little fat that the body has to absorb its stores. It has been proven that eating only rabbit meat can lead to extreme exhaustion.
Another potential killer - if the previous one is not enough - is the lack of vitamin C. Man is one of the few living creatures unable to produce it on their own.
Lack of this vitamin in the diet causes scurvy, the symptoms of which are tooth loss, bleeding from the gums, and even personality changes. In extreme cases, scurvy is fatal.

Vitamin C is destroyed at high temperatures during cooking, so you can get it from raw meat. On the other hand, this leads to the risk of infection by harmful bacteria and parasites.
But how do the Eskimos survive in Chukotka, because their diet consists mainly of meat?
Well, they often eat liver, which is rich in vitamins D and A, and fish oil, with its omega-3 fatty acids. Also, Eskimos are adapted to convert proteins into glucose due to their enlarged liver and have a large bladder to get rid of excess urea. Yes, and they also eat a lot of raw meat.
So unless you have the right genetics for this, we do not recommend this kind of diet for you.
