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 folks.
Just joined and wanted to say howdy right proper. My screen name is appropriate, as I have always been a skeptic, which is (I believe) why I am where I am now. I've been carnivore for about 2 years so far, and nicely fat adapted. Type 1 diabetic, but I have my A1C down to 6.1 from the 8.9 it was 4 years ago! Cholesterol IS elevated, but I understand that is to be expected rather than feared. No statins for me. I feel good, and it FEELS good to find this place with other like minded people.
After doing a lot of reading here in the last day or so, I have to say that I have been encouraged to join the group. Good info and enthusiasm, with real honest replies. I love it!
Looking forward to it.
