Some MyPsoriasisTeam members have reported anecdotal relief from trying the carnivore diet, but it's worth knowing that these claims aren't backed by strong scientific evidence. No formal clinical trials have studied its specific effects on psoriasis, so results should be taken with caution. There are also some real risks to consider with a carnivore diet and psoriasis specifically:

- Red meat (beef and pork) is high in saturated fats, which may actually trigger inflammation and worsen psoriasis symptoms
- Cutting out all grains, fruits, and vegetables can lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies
- High sodium processed meats can raise blood pressure, which is already a concern for people with psoriasis
- High cholesterol is a risk, which matters because people with psoriasis have a higher risk of heart disease
- Constipation from lack of fiber is also common

Lean proteins like poultry and fish are generally considered better options for people with psoriasis than red meat. Overall, a Mediterranean-style diet — rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats — is what's most commonly recommended for people with psoriasis. It's always a good idea to talk to a doctor or dermatologist before making major dietary changes.
