It may be theoretically possible to get all essential vitamins and mineral from animal products. For example, lean red meat is a good source of iron, zinc and vitamin B12, while oily fish is a good source of essential fatty acids, such as omega-3s. Any food categorized as non-vegetarian is very rich in nutrients. Red meat for example, is an excellent source for zinc, vitamin B12 and iron. experts say that eating only animal meat is not always good. It will mess up the balance of nutrients in the body. Our body will miss out on the essential nutrients that are available from fruits, leafy greens and vegetables and wholegrains. If we were to even temporarily stop supplying our body with either vegetables or fruits or whole grains, our body will start becoming deficient in some particular nutrients. Deficiencies in nutrients can lead to many kinds of diseases.
Not eating enough vegetables might lead to iron deficiency, vitamin deficiencies, not eating enough fibers can lead to constipation, bloating, diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. and deficiencies in nutrients. And even though you are eating a lot of protein, you will miss out on the nutrients that are especially not available through a meat diet. The best dietary combination includes the five core food groups: fruits, vegetables, cereals, lean meats and dairy.
All the above mentioned aspects and impacts of a carnivorous diet has been researched through people's experience. There is not scientifical evidence to these research findings.

However, since the study involved asking people how much they liked a diet they had chosen to put themselves on, we can't conclude much from its findings.
For an adult, a high-protein diet is generally defined as consuming 2 grams or more of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. So for an 80kg male, this would be 160g of protein per day. And what does 160g of protein in whole foods look like? It's about equivalent to six medium lamb chops a day.
