Part of it could be due to the fact that I am still going through puberty, but I am typically quite hungry after over three months on carnivore. I have read that hunger doesn't equal malnutrition and that is why I decided to give intermittent fasting a try in order to hopefully gain more control over my hunger signals. I know there is a subset of carnivores who also get pulled into the fasting community, especially for weight loss, however I believe carnivore alone to be more than effective at achieving adequate weight loss. I also understand the importance of incorporating a high level of fat in my diet and it comes naturally to me. For about half of my meals I include a medium helping of pan-fried beef suet and it is now one of my favorite things!

I hear a lot of carnivores, especially BBBE carnivores, talking about how much they love bacon. It's quite possibly the easiest thing to eat in our diet. However, I hardly ever hear them mention sugar-free bacon, which I feel like even loose carnivores should only eat, bacon-wise. I hope that this is just assumed, but I'm sure people will figure that out. Now what about 100% strict carnivores who want to eat their sugar-free bacon from the grocery store? Chances are it has spices, vinegar or celery extract, all of which come from plants. After a quick search, I found an article that provides a list of keto Whole30 compliant bacon brands and where to find them, four of which, amazingly, have no plant products whatsoever in their ingredients! If preservatives are a strong no for you, these also won't do because only one of them doesn't have any preservatives either (the U.S Wellness one). They are: Market Pantry Hardwood Smoked Classic Cut Reduced Sodium Bacon from Target, Kirkland Signature Thick Sliced Lower Sodium Bacon from Costco, U.S Wellness Sugar Free Pork Bacon Slices from the U.S Wellness website, and Smithfield Hickory Smoked Lower Sodium Bacon from Walmart. So if you've been wondering how to eat fully carnivore-compliant bacon, that's how. https://www.wholekitchensink.com/whole30-compliant-bacon/

Autophagy, in combination of ketosis you get from a carnivore diet, is highly beneficial; however, carnivore alone does not kick start autophagy. A 17-hour fast is what is needed to really shift autophagy into gear. You can break your fast and keep autophagy going, as long as you don't raise your glucose levels significantly by not eating carbs, sugar, or more than 20 g of protein. Naturally, this means even OMAD (One Meal A Day) carnivores deactivate their autophagy states daily by eating large meals consisting of more than 20 g of protein. This is why intermittent fasting is the perfect accompaniment to ketosis which most carnivores automatically find themselves in. If you want to learn more about autophagy, look into Dr. Mindy Pelz's videos.
