Joe Rogan said on his podcast that the first time he ate only meat for 30 days he had more energy and explosive diarrhea. Now he's adding fruit.

I still don't understand where this carnivore diet came from? I don't think humans only ever ate just meat unless there is some history that I never learned about it.

    Protein poisoning (also referred to colloquially as rabbit starvation, mal de caribou, or fat starvation) refers to an acute form of malnutrition caused by a diet deficient in fat, where almost all calories consumed come from lean meat.[1][2] The concept is discussed in the context of paleoanthropologial investigations into the diet of ancient humans, especially during the last glacial maximum and at high latitudes.[3][4]
