YouTuber Chris Williamson tried the carnivore diet but ultimately quit after it caused his cholesterol levels to skyrocket. Despite feeling mentally great on the diet, Williamson found that it was destructive to his important numbers and heart health. He now follows an intermittent fasting approach, which he describes as more balanced than the carnivore diet he previously followed.

The carnivore diet, which has been widely debunked, is popular amongst influencers in the "manosphere," including Williamson. Some have criticized Williamson for platforming controversial guests and pushing harmful ideologies. Additionally, his appearance on a podcast that spreads harmful health misinformation has also raised concerns about the content he promotes.
