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.

  • Just like us, dogs need to eat a species specific diet.

    This may not be the right thread but it came to my mind: I once adopted a two year old german shepherd that did not become a good competition dog because of allergies. Everything was difficult. T

If you ever get gout,which I hope you won´t,you will stop laughing at that.

It completely invalidizes you, being not able to walk or even stand up. Or sleep for that matter.

i mean, we can't compare a big toe ache with gout, that's a bit of a long shot.

And yeah, even tho i know sadly well what it means to not being able to walk, fortunately i didn't get to ever experiance gout.

To be honest gout sounds quite like a miserable condition, i'm not looking forward to experiance it.

january is almost over and i'm about 15lb up. 🥂 I'm considering to go OMAD cause even tho I feel the need for some extra nutrition, i also feel i can't digest two fully carnivore meals a day and i get heart burn. in which moments of the day do you guys eat? In the case of a carnivore diet OMAD feels more natural to me, but i just cannot eat a 2.5/3lb of meat in a single meal

I start my morning with a half a cup of bone broth mixed with half a cup of water, heated up and blended with a tablespoon of butter. So I guess you could say that’s actually a first meal so technically not OMAD but I never count it as a meal. 
I will only eat again when I get hungry and that may be anytime between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm or 1300 hrs for those overseas. If I’m busy or not at home I find it real easy to ignore the hunger until I can get home or slow down enough to fix something. That’s the thing I love about carnivore is that hunger doesn’t control me like it used to. I don’t equate an empty belly with hunger. Hunger is that desire or urge to eat because my body needs fuel. 
When I do eat , I eat enough to completely satisfy me and it holds me till the next day. 
I can easily put away two pounds of meat.

I'm along the same lines with Geezy except I can't eat that much at one time, well better said, I'm way full and satisfied long before that amount. A month or so ago I started eating two times per day to hit a protein per pound target. When I eat protein/nutrient dense foods it is still a lot for me to eat, even over two meals. This is another one of the both amazing and individualistic things about carnivore. 10 months ago I could add up everything I eat in a day now and eat that much two or three times a day and at certain times during the day I would be 'hungry'. 

This week I have cut back to just eating when I am hungry which will be OMAD or some days slightly less. I have had off and on diarrhea the last week or so and the only thing that has changed is the amounts of food trying to hit that protein target. I will go a week or so like this and maybe ease back into the protein chase once my stomach/gut get back in check.

My metabolism must be in low gear. LOL

I am sure this quote is from Nemo. 

I responded to that post. 

I also think it's all in jest, as I know very well what it is like to not walk. Fortunately never had gout, sounds painful. 

Ooops,yes it was Nemo....I don´t know why my quote went wrong... my bad!

I don't do OMAD. Can't shovel it all in, in one meal. 2 or 3 meals a day.

It was a good month. Great to start this by going away with my daughter and grandkids. We were all very strict for the three weeks we were together. Now into the real world to continue!

And …. Thank you for all the support! The Monday night zoom calls were very helpful and supportive.

Well gout IS EXACTLY that inflammation in the big toe.

I spent the whole summer -23 laying down in the garden because of that. Got a nice tan though. I can not take standard painkillers because I´m on blood thinners. Just suffer.

If you happen to draw me, I would like you to draw again, so somebody else can take the prize. I really was just making conversation in this thread, no prize needed for me.
