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 Everyone! I'm new to carnivore and this forum. I had good success with low carb over the years, but slowly was dragged away over time by doctors mainly saying my health was in danger due to high cholesterol numbers. I listened to their advice reluctantly (hey, they're doctors, right?) including lowering my "bad" protein intake, and introducing "good" carbs, not to mention taking statins. I slowly gained more weight and eventually went on a GLP1. My fasting insulin and c peptide numbers became very high, not to mention I had some bad side effects. And I didn't lose much weight. I took myself off the medication a few weeks ago and the side effects have been subsiding. Now, I want to hit keto hard, and carnivore seems the best way for me to proceed for at this point.
I came here because I thought I might need a little support and information. I look forward to interacting with you all, and taking in your experiences!
