January is World Carnivore Month. To that end, let's challenge ourselves to eat a carnivore diet for the entire month of January. The type of carnivore diet and the level of strictness you choose to do is entirely up to you. Examples of carnivore diets include the following...
1) The Lion Diet. A person eating the Lion Diet only consumes the flesh of ruminant animals, water, and salt.
2) The BBBE Diet. BBBE is an acronym for Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs. 
3) The Carnivore Diet. This allows for the consumption of any and all animals and animal by-products, including dairy. 
In any of the above examples, the object of course is to not consume any plants as part of your diet. Of course, we're not going to micromanage how you prepare your food, so your use of seasonings is entirely your own personal choice.
IF your circumstances don't allow you to go full on carnivore in January, then you can participate in this topic by challenge yourself to do better, above and beyond what you have been doing. For example, if you have still been eating grains, seed oils, refined sugar, or drinking alcohol, challenge yourself to avoid these items and just eat a clean, single ingredient whole foods diet such as clean keto, ketovore, or animal based. 
We encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. 
Participants in this topic will be entered into a drawing for a prize at the end of the month.

Looks like ice cream.
Funny that the label says "suitable for vegetarians" on it, lol

That's a neat looking device.
I set tile all day, lol.
Right now I have a treadmill in the next room. I would prefer to hike the trails but it's the middle of winter currently.
I want to get some weights, a bench, etc. as well.

Thanks keto monster and Scott F.

One down a couple three to go.
Welcome and good luck as you progress.
Scott

good luck Pops, keep learning and develop a walking habit if you haven't already.

My name is Jerry. Carnivore cured my diabetes after 2 months. Now to fix heart, kidneys and prostate. Carnivore for life.

Wow, that is very impressive. Congratulations.

Congrats.

My son, Justin, now 40, became an amputee at age 12. This year he lost like 80 pounds and logged 1,000 miles in training to run. On Saturday in Philadelphia he ran a 1/2 Marathon. An impressive ~ 2 hour finish tome. He exceeded everyone's expectations. He works making prosthetic legs and a foot manufacturer sponsors his running. He told me the Philadelphia crowd was soooo super supportive! Hopefully you can see him in photo below.

I got a text from my daughter, my 11 year old grandson qualified to compete in the World Irish Dance competition in Chicago in 2026 ! He just finished a 3 day competition in Philadelphia

With that the trick would be to maintain the tension and not lock out on the joints.
Like most machines, it is all about the effort the person puts forth. A treadmill is an awesome piece of equipment right up to the point it becomes a better place to hang some clothes. LOL
I have never used an X3 but I do use the bands to warm up some, and then onto the machines and the dumbbells.
As of late I am into squatting with dumbbells and going into a shoulder press as I stand up. I do 10-12. (similar to a kettle ball routine) Then I grab two forty-five pound plates and do a farmer's walk around the gym. I drop them and do 25-30 knees raises hanging from a bar. I try to do these four or five times per trip to the gym, usually between moving from exercise to the other while lifting.
I try to hit arms one day, legs the next and chest after that and shoulders/back if I make the fourth day that week.
I was walking 3.5 miles just about every day but the weather and the new grandkid has eaten up some of my walking time.

Not much really. Some dumbbell workouts 2 or 3 times a week with a few body exercises and a long walk occasionally. I used to walk every other day but I’m just too busy these days building up my farm. That’s the main part of my exercise these days, just working on the farm all day. This cold weather has given me a little bit of a break lately.

Often i listening to you tube in the background as I am doing things an ad comes on, oh It is ken berry, or ben bik man, or Dr. Phil, or other popular influencer. I look, it is not them, same voice, similar likeness. Must be Ai generated. I Do not like it !

I'm having a deer burger steak with four eggs. Had leftover chicken for lunch.

Speaking of deer…

Aldi 8oz ribeye steak:

I ate some Aldi clotted cream:
It was absolutely delicious.

Smoked T-bone steak, eggs, cheese and a few slices of jalapeno tacos with egglife wraps.

Good to hear !

Yep,especially after finding out about benefits in your own health... I for one don't want to get back to carb-o-land.
20+ years ago I was just curious. And I enjoyed the ketosis feel. Now it's about health too. Stent and heart failure and afib to name a few.
I rarely need spray nitro any more. My gout is gone, I'm off allopurinol for half a year and eat anchovies, chicken wings, mushrooms,nothing triggers gout any more.
I've been off statins for a year. Lost 28 kilos, normal bmi now. I can squat and get up again... just so much healthier all in all.
Christmas hi carb diet week experiment did not matter. I'm back on track.

Very well said. Agreed.
I was one of those guys. I jumped on the carnivore diet as nothing more than a weight loss hack. I then stumbled across some amazing health benefits that I never seen coming after the switch. So much so, I was still hard to convince til some time afterwards.
I think everyone starts out in the 'diet mode' and then after time it becomes a lifestyle change. I also think life style changes are sustainable, but diets? Not so much.

Here is one more:
Many think of "diets" as some kind of magic temporary quick fixes, often for weight loss.
They have read "I lost 100 pounds in three weeks!" -interviews and get frustrated quickly because that did not happen.
Patience is a rare virtue in Today's World.
