Social Media Star Swears By Butter and Ghee as Her "Botox" Alternative

Carnivore Diet Enthusiast Claims Butter and Ghee Are Her 'Botox' Alternative. A recent social media video by user "Steakandbuttergal" has sparked considerable discussion online, as the creator showcased her unconventional approach to skincare: a carnivore diet rich in animal fats. In the viral clip, the woman, who identifies as an "Ex-vegan turned Carnivore," directly addresses comments suggesting she uses Botox, presenting butter, pork rinds, and ghee as her beauty secrets. The video, uploaded on August 7, 2025, depicts the creator consuming a stick of butter, drinking milk, eating pork rinds, and spooning ghee from a jar. This visual demonstration is framed as "The Botox," implying that these foods are responsible for her youthful appearance. The post has garnered significant attention, with over 149,200 views and 2,408 likes. Comments reflect a wide range of reactions, from support for the carnivore lifestyle to skepticism and curiosity. One user commented, "my stomach would flip over on to it self 😭," while another stated, "carnivore is the best." The discussion also delved into the historical context of dietary fats, with one user noting, "One day, about 70 years ago, someone came along and said: 'Look, oil! It’s better than the natural fats our ancestors have eaten for thousands of years.'" Questions about starting the diet and the effects on skin were also prevalent, such as "How do I start? What can I start with?" and "Does the butter make your skin oily?" While proponents of the carnivore diet often tout its benefits for various health aspects, including skin health, the direct comparison to Botox has fueled debate among viewers. The video highlights a growing trend of individuals exploring extreme dietary changes for aesthetic purposes.
