A woman known as Bella, or “SteakandButterGal” online, claims her daily butter consumption has significantly improved her health. Once a vegan, she switched to a carnivore diet five years ago to address autoimmune conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne. Now, she regularly shares videos of herself eating butter and steak, sparking debate among viewers.
Defending Her Diet
Despite criticism, Bella insists her health has only improved. She stated, “Not only has my heart not stopped, but I now have more energy to work out, play with my dog, and be the most amazing partner to my fiancé.” She also shared her bloodwork, claiming, “A high-fat carnivore diet contributes to higher HDL levels… My HDL shot up from 73 to 98, and my triglycerides went down from 97 to 15.”
Medical Opinions
Experts remain skeptical. Harvard’s Dr. Howard Lewine warned that carnivore diets, high in saturated fats, “raise LDL cholesterol levels and increase the risk of kidney stones, gout, and osteoporosis.” However, supporters like Dr. Shaw Baker argue that a meat-based diet “saved his life.”
Ongoing Debate
While Bella maintains her diet has improved her health, experts urge caution. UNILAD has reached out to her for further comment and bloodwork verification.
