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.
This is one of my favourite Keto diet recipes that I tend to make almost weekly.
Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced)
2 tbsp Fajita seasoning
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 large bell peppers (sliced)
1 medium onion (sliced)
1/2 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions:
I prefer to brine my chicken for about an hour before I actually start cooking it. To brine I put the chicken breasts in salted cold water and leave in the fridge for about an hour. (If left too long the chicken will start to get too salty so I wouldn't recommend brining for more than a few hours)
After brining the chicken, pat down the chicken with paper towel to dry the chicken out.
Next season the chicken slices with the fajita seasoning
Heat your oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, until simmering. Add the sliced chicken and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. (Thermometer should read 165 F)
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a plate, cover loosely with foil.
Then you're going to add your bell peppers and onions to the skillet, add oil if needed. Sauté for 4-5 minutes stirring occasionally until soft and browned. Season with salt and pepper.
Once the peppers and onions are almost done add the chicken to the skillet.
Place chicken, peppers and onions on plate and enjoy!
