【MONEY FM 89.3】Influence: Meat-Only Diets and the Hidden Cost to Your Gut

In a Money FM 89.3 interview, Dr Chok Aik Yong colorectal surgeon at Aelius Surgical Centre, discussed the growing trend of the carnivore diet and its potential risks to gut health. While acknowledging that the diet can lead to rapid weight loss by restricting carbohydrates, Dr Chok cautioned that eliminating fibre-rich foods can cause constipation, gut imbalance and increase colorectal cancer risk. He explained how the absence of fiber slows intestinal movement and encourages toxin buildup, while excessive red or processed meat consumption is linked to cancer.
