The high-fat carnivore diet involves the consumption of high-fat animal products and other high-fat foods such as butter.
She shared an insight into what she eats for lunch each day via a video posted to her TikTok channel, which she often uses to promote her unusual lifestyle choice.
"I eat this way to maintain my 30-pound fat loss, to keep my skin clear and to have zero brain fog", she said, showing off her flat stomach and clear skin.
She added that the diet means she has "perfect poops" which are as "smooth as butter".
The first thing that Bella munches on for lunch is an entire stick of cold butter.
She pairs this with seven fried eggs, cooked in beef fat.
Next, she devours two burger patties also fried in beef fat.
"And here we've got out liquid gold", she said, showing off her favourite part of the meal.

He video, which was posted under the username @steakandbuttergal, has likely left many people open-mouthed, as it has racked up over 4.8 million views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts, with many sharing their disgust at the diet.
One person said: "I don’t think this is healthy."
Is the high-fat carnivore diet healthy?
Carolina Goncalves, Superintendent Pharmacist at Pharmica told Fabulous: "The high-fat carnivore diet, similar to the ketogenic diet, involves the consumption of animal-based foods, especially those containing high levels of fat, as well as other high-fat foods such as butter. The potential benefits of this diet include weight loss, reduced inflammation, and mental clarity.
"According to research, a high-fat carnivore diet may help with weight loss due to the reduced carbohydrate intake and the increased satiety from high-fat foods. This is because the body typically switches from using food as its primary energy source to fat when carbohydrates are limited (a process known as ketosis).
"Moreover, fats are more satiating than carbohydrates, meaning they can keep you full for longer. Therefore, eating a high-fat diet can help reduce overall calorie intake by making it less likely for the individual to eat more frequently.
"Regarding inflammation, omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and other seafood that can feature in a high-fat carnivore diet can potentially help reduce inflammation by incorporating into cell membranes. It is also thought that these omega-3 fatty acids could have anti-inflammatory properties and affect neurotransmitter functions that support serotonin and dopamine levels. This may help with anxiety and depression symptoms, although the research on this is unclear.
"Having said this, the high-fat carnivore diet can adversely affect the body in numerous ways. The exclusion of plant-based foods such as fruit and vegetables can lead to nutrient deficiencies and a lack of vitamins and minerals to support bodily functions. In addition, the high intake of saturated fats can increase LDL cholesterol levels which could result in cardiovascular issues. Finally, the lack of dietary fibre in a high-fat carnivore diet, due to the absence of fibrous plant-based foods, can lead to digestive problems such as constipation.
"Overall, even though there are a few benefits to the high-fat carnivore diet, the lack of key food groups and nutrients can lead to health problems. It is therefore recommended to have a balanced diet to ensure overall bodily health and function."
A second person said: "This sounds like a meal I’d get served in my personal hell".
A third said: "You must stink".
