A diet which literally no humans have ever followed voluntarily before the 21st century (absolutely all people who lived where edible plants grew ate plants).

Yes, you can survive off animal products alone.
If you eat all the icky parts, too.
No one knows what that does to your life expectancy, though. That was pretty irrelevant for stone age arctic cave dwellers, as long as they managed to reproduce when they were 16.

And no, that's not in any way a sensible diet for the time we live in right now.
