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.
My BP got so much lower an steadier in ketovore, I soon cut my usual prescribed four pills down to 1 1/2. The wild variations also stopped. Pulse is a tad higher in keto but less random as well.
This pic shows aug 2023 vs Jan 2025 because I used an old BP meter in between,the app did not record it. But this shows the difference quite well. Aug 23 four Metoprolols,no keto. Jan 25 one and a half pills,keto.
I have a stent and various heart / CV -conditions since 2016. I also feel I'm able to exercise better now, I may have been fighting the heavy meds,thinking it was my heart telling me to stop eg. before I could even sweat. Beta blockers do work as rev limiters and now I'm down to one third of what I used to take.
I like this! Anyone else with heart peculiarities here?
