This is generally a healthy way of eating, but one word of caution:
Without any carbohydrates at all, your SHBG levels will generally get very high, and you may end up with long-term hormonal issues. It's also questionable whether very-long-term gluconeogenesis is good for your liver. More studies are needed.
Paul Saladino, who used to be very strict carnivore, has recently recommended introduction of fruits and honey into an animal-based diet to address the SHBG and long-term gluconeogenesis concerns. He is still vehemently against grains and vegetables, but regularly includes 100-150 grams of carbohydrates from fruit/honey sources daily now, with positive effects on his (hormonal) blood work.
