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.
When we talk about eating enough protein some new to carnivore’s don’t realize that one gram of meat does not equal one gram of protein and so they don’t eat enough. A lot of times they mention that they are having trouble losing weight or fatigued or still have chronic conditions and often our response is to tell them to eat more but they think they are already eating eating enough by how much their meat weighs.
Anyways, so I came across this chart and thought it might be helpful for some people.
I also came across a protein calculator that may be of use also.

Here's an example of a calculation I did using ounces but it does grams as well. So as you can see that to maintain my weight I need to eat approximately 21 ounces of beef steak daily.
