It is possible to live on an extremely strict keto low-carb diet, a so-called zero-carb diet, and it could bring benefits. Kelly (picture from Twitter) is a successful example of this.
If you’re interested in going zero carb, Kelly has a blog (My Zero Carb Life) and also helps run a Facebook group that you can join.

ZC is eating only from the animal kingdom (no plants, or artificial sweeteners) + drinking water = go live your life free of macros, ratios or calorie restrictions.
Normal misunderstanding from lchf -groups. How much is too much protein anyway? Meat is not only protein - it's protein AND fat - in alltypes of meat snd cuts. (Lise, Zero Carb 2 years) ?
I'm a ZC'er and I've never felt better. No aches, no pains, no depression, better sleep, no bloating after a meal or puffy face in the morning... and I'm losing weight at a nice pace. Nobody needs veggies in their diet whatsoever!
I just watched an hour-long podcast/video of her when she was a guest (I think it was on Biohackers). She is compelling to watch - her story is great and she has the type of personality that keeps you listening to her (and laughing - great sense of humor).
Cauliflower, zucchini, brocolli are not zero carb, but they are low carb. I eat less than 5gm carbs/day. NEVER plant food! The only carbs that I get are from the eggs and some cheese. I've lost 15# and 5" from my waist in 4 weeks, without feeling deprived at all.
Amazing!.. she looks fantastic! She's on the Carnivore diet. I know I need to eat meat now after trying vegetarian and vegan and getting sick and IBS, etc., but I always liked a lot of variety in my diet which, probably isn't good. At least now when I have dinner with meat and I'm too tired to prep and cook vegetables, I know I'm eating healthy. I read some interesting articles on the Carnivore diet and apparently, you can get all of your vitamins, including C in just meat. Is it possible that kidney stones are not from eating too much protein and more from
eating vegetables, nuts, and seeds (flax), that are high in oxalates like spinach (which I happened to like a lot and I had stones)?

The cause is going to depend on what kind of kidney stones someone has. Calcium oxalate stones are caused by too much oxalate in the urine.
It does take time to adjust to carnivore. It's really is just like kicking alcohol. Detoxing that happens from kicking carbs is not a joking matter. It really does look like carbs were for children and humans need to cut them out to fully nvolve and mature into what DNA they carry. Meaning being a adult is to put down childish things and learn to grow up and take things seriously.
She has lived for 7 years and has had 3 healthy pregnancies on animal products only, no vegetables.
