I'm sure there are people that have actually done it for more than a week, what I should say is for the most part they're just liars. Yes, you can technically survive if you eat enough raw organ meat, but they aren't doing that. They just lie. It's easy, because what social media does is enable liars to lie more effectively than ever before.

There's a lot more people lying about doing weird shit than you seem to be giving credit. Whether it's people lying about the carnivore diet or lying about beating themselves with hammers, they just lie for their brand or clout or just because it's fun.

Sure, but I live in a place where people are absolutely doing some of that weird shit, and you can go meet them and talk to them and see that they are doing it. But maybe it's not as extreme as the most outrageous examples on social media

You can see what they show you. I don't see a reason to assume they aren't just lying to your face. Social media makes it easier to lie, but it was always possible to lie in person. With the carnivore diet, if they're drinking orange juice in secret you'd never know.

The ones that end up in the hospital were telling the truth.

I don't want to self-dox, but I have seen direct evidence of the consequences of the self destructive or harmful behavior, yes.
