A 23-year-old content creator from Dallas, Texas, found herself hospitalized after strictly adhering to a trendy carnivore diet she discovered on social media.

Eve Catherine’s meat-only regimen resulted in some health complications, as reported by News18.

Catherine’s daily menu consisted primarily of protein-rich foods. “My breakfast was usually two to three eggs, lunch was high-protein yogurt, and dinner was a New York strip steak,” she explained.

Despite a doctor’s warning about elevated protein levels in her urine during a routine check-up, Catherine continued the diet.

The consequences of her dietary choices became apparent when she noticed blood in her urine one morning. Rushed to the hospital, Catherine was diagnosed with kidney stones, a direct result of her excessive protein intake.

Catherine’s experience serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of blindly following social media trends, especially those related to health and nutrition. Experts emphasize the importance of consulting healthcare professionals before making significant dietary changes.
