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.
Hi I've been doing carnivore almost 6 month and got worse triglycerides,,
I'm 36F, 5'4. Before carnivore, I was doing keto (barely no meat, keto bread/keto dessert/daily/nuts/avocado/olive oil and vegetable based) and Triglyceride was perfect like around 50-60, HDL 80, ldl 180
After carnivore, fatty beef/lamb 1lb, butter and sometimes salmon or sardine (my macro 70/30, fat 130g protein 100-110g). After 4 month, I gained 10lb even I was normal weight but now little got fatty, Triglyceride sky high 165, HDL decreased to 70 and ldl 400 (15hr fasted)
I heard coffee can affect on triglyceride so ditched coffee and butter (I thought I'm eating too much fat) and worse blood work month after.. HDL dropped to 60, Triglycerides 210 and LDL 500..
So I saw keto doctor, he said I might eating too much protein, which could be cause, so I switched to 80/20 macro (fat 150g/protein 70-80g). No weightloss, waiting another blood work in a month.
I'm really concerned about the increasing triglyceride/dropping HDL even though I'm not eating any carb. FYI, my fasting glucose is 74, Hba1c 5.1, hscrp 0.5 and no insulin resistance.
Don't really know what am i doing wrong. Any comment would be appreciated. Thanks
