> Something is happening, it’s not just a fad these are not mutually exclusive. It is a fad AND something is happening. That something comes down to two major things about low carb/carnivore diets: 1. You are removing processed foods. Going from a Standard American Diet to basically anything that involves more whole foods is going to be healthier for you and make you feel better. This doesn't mean that the new diet is optimal but it can be a step in the right direction. 2. Restricting your diet down to a few types of food is going to remove a lot of allergens. If you only eat meat for example, you are removing literally every single non-meat allergen in your diet - most people have some sort of food sensitivity (lactose intolerance being a common one) so you are going to feel better when you remove those allergens. However, this does not mean that accidental elimination diets are the long term solution. You should slowly add back foods and see what you react to so you can do something less extreme but still feel good doing it. So yes a lot of people feel better on these diets but that does not indicate they are healthy long term or superior to other options.
