  • The carnivore diet, an all-meat eating plan, has gained traction among fitness enthusiasts and influencers, with podcaster Joe Rogan being one of its most vocal supporters.

The article from NDTV discusses a study published in the journal *Nature Reviews Urology* which suggests that the ketogenic or "keto" diet, popularized by figures like Joe Rogan, might increase the risk of developing kidney stones. The keto diet, which involves high fat, moderate protein, and very low carbohydrate intake, can lead to changes in urine composition that promote stone formation. Specifically, the diet can cause the urine to become more acidic and increase levels of calcium and uric acid, both of which are risk factors for kidney stones. Experts recommend that individuals on this diet ensure they are well-hydrated and consider monitoring their kidney health, especially if they have a history of kidney issues. The article also mentions that while the diet has benefits like weight loss and improved blood sugar control, the potential health risks, including kidney stones, should not be overlooked.
