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.

"The removal is in response to a color additive petition filed in 2022 by advocates who claim the additive is linked to cancer and behavioral problems in children, USA TODAY reports. Manufacturers who use Red No. 3 in food will have until Jan. 15, 2027, to change their products, according to Wednesday's FDA announcement, while those who use the dye in drugs will have until Jan. 18, 2028."
While it is good to see change such as this, one has to wonder; why did it take so long? Of course for most this is but a rhetorical question as we know the answer quite well. In the US, eating is spending, consuming, an entertainment for our taste buds first, and second comes the question of nutrition and the consequences of said entertainment.
The FDA has been trying to change it corrupt and parasitical image with the arrival of JFK Jr. and his message; make America healthy again. For decades we've been eating this and feeding it to our children. It's criminal. On carnivore, it is not only carbohydrates we avoid, but these nasty food colorings that are linked to cancer and the blocking of hormones. It's been in our schools... what a scary thought. And we wonder why half of the kids don't know what they are anymore (in terms of gender). (Nothing to do with preference, nor meaning to be hateful towards ones preference).
