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.
Aldous Huxley was far ahead of his time; probably more than he even knew himself. Born in the late 1800s and living until the 1960s, he wrote the book "Brave New World" That showed how people could be enslaved and controlled by making a society that was so comfortable and devoid of meaning that they didn't even realize they were slaves in the first place.
This insight, into modern medical science shows exactly what we have become, which is an institution of disease management, and as you can't manage diseases that don't exist, and managing those diseases is really big money, the design of the system is never to cure, and may even be rife with examples of making things worse. As Mr Huxley said this nearly 100 years ago, imagine what he would think of the world today?
Unfortunately the incentive model is completely backwards, instead of rewarding people for curing diseases we are now rewarding people for maintaining those diseases, and even perpetuating those diseases, as the medications to make you feel more comfortable are so profitable, and they act as a tithe on the entire population who has to constantly pay a significant portion of their income to just try to make their medical issues bearable.
Have you noticed the same thing in your medical care? What clinicians here have seen the same thing, and who is going to help Change the system back to what it used to be and is supposed to be?, below and let me know your thoughts.
