Today is the first day of January and is also the first day of 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 hoe 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.
“He spoke another parable to them, ‘The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened’” (Matthew 13:33).
Small things often have a great influence, which is the point of Jesus’ parable here.
If you have ever made bread, especially a sourdough bread you can use the starter over and over to make new bread and never run out. It is said that the best sourdough bread is still using the same stater from over a hundred years ago.
So what influence do you have as a carnivore? People tend to watch each other and are easily influenced by what they see, so be a good influence to those around you. Be that leavening that causes others to grow and spread the carnivore community so that they may experience what you have experienced.
During this time of year we often gather with many friends and family and you can have a positive influence on those around you as they witness what carnivore has done in your life.
That influence can also be negative as well as positive during the holidays. Will they see you succeed with commitment, determination and discipline or will they perceive that you have failed in your WOE as you indulge in sweets and carbs? We know that a few dalliances into the carb world is not that big a deal and can be fun and that some can easily transition back and forth with no issues but just be aware that if you proclaim the power of eating a proper human diet and then eat the opposite way during times of temptation it can have a negative influence on those around you.
Try to be the leavening that expands and grows our community, it will be worth it in the end.
