You would soon feel like shit and eventually die.
I Tried the Carnivore Diet and It Broke Me After 3 Days
A restrictive form of the keto diet, the carnivore diet entails eating meat—just meat. I tried it to lose weight, but the side effects nearly broke me.

Its proponents claim that humans evolved to exist on animal protein alone. But how healthy is it? Nutritionist Dr Wendy Hall explains

This is absolutely incorrect, at least with respect to carnivore diets. You won't feel like shit, and everybody dies eventually (but carnivore will not reduce your life or health span).

Note: This only applies to carnivores who are not eating carbohydrates, people who are just standard western omnivores (70% plant food, mostly processed, and 30% meat) will not see any benefits.
There are many biological risks in eating humans that should be accounted for, and while you could survive it would be far from optimal.

The opinion is published in the Journal of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Obesity a peer-reviewed journal- and is edited by Eric Westman
Does that satisfy your appeal to authority concerns? Any issue with the content of the article itself?

Funny you should mention that, they address scurvy directly in the paper. Who is getting rich of a nutrition paper?

The Inuit avoided scurvy by eating some of their fish and meat raw during long Arctic winters. Apparently there is some vitamin C in raw flesh which is destroyed by cooking.
The risk of parasite infestation increases, but they probably learned what to watch out for, just as they learned to avoid eating polar bear livers.

Yeah but the Inuit don't have the choice to eat a balanced diet, so they do the best they can. Some people now are eating like shit because it's the new gym bro science scam.

A scam with published literature, documented benefits, and no documented downside. The only issues is from people who don't like the idea of it and refuse to engage with the available data.
Carnivore is just a very strict form of a ketogenic diet, which is the most studied eating pattern in the literature
