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.
....and things are great! Not craving any carbs, my overall appetite is down, i am down 5 pounds from 178, and i've noticed that my chronic pain is lessened. So much so that i think i can finally stop taking Ibuprofin [and more recently Tylenol]. I've been taking a lot of ibuprofin for literally decades to address pain and infalmmation. And while i still have serious Lumbar spine issues, and other joint pains too, i think i can finally be done with the whole otc mess. I still vape, but at least i am using an organic product and my goal is to get off of it. I also completely eliminated seed oils from my diet, which are highly inflammatory.
i used to do keto for a good two years and lost like 50 pounds but i got off track and got to eating a carb heavy poisonous SAD again. My last visit to my doctor showed my cholesterol level high and he wanted me to go on prescription drugs to fix it. I am 63 years old and the only pharmicutical drug i take is Trazodone for sleep. The last thing i want is to be drugged up and addicted to pharmicutical drugs in a system that is designed to make you sick and keep you sick and returning for more drugs. So last week i decided that the best way to fix my body's problems is through diet and begin walking again.
My inlaws, nice people but they are now deceased. The dad had diabetes and he died from dementia. The mom she was obese and she died from dementia. The common denominator is them listening to their doctors and doctors on TV thinking they were the experts. They didn't eat red meat but they ate pork. They didn't eat butter, but they ate margarine. Everything else they ate was crap loaded with carbs and bad oils. They were on a lot of prescription meds brcause that's how you fix your body's problems, and that's the sick end game with the entire SAD/Pharmaceutical drugs cycle. I know that i am having some brain fog issues and its probably diet related. I am hoping i can reverse the inflammmation in my body that is causing all my issues, and resolve them with the Carnivore diet. Honestly, i don't give a rip what others say about my dietary choices and i am not even going to tell my doctor because he will likely try "correcting" my thinking. Anyways, i am a happy carnivore now!
