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.
Carnivore as "Carnivore" is relatively new in name but was a popular diet amongst the Multiple Sclerosis community in the 50' and 60's. And then dates back to the beginning of time.
I'm coming off a 72 hour fast tonight and going to go 30-60 days on all red meat. Straight beef. Probably the hardest part will be passing up on eggs, and if I stray from straight beef it will be with eggs.
My bloodwork/Neurologist appointment got pushed back a few weeks so I am going to go into that on a plan that worked int he 50's and 60's. I am not sure how much 40+ days will affect the bloodwork but I think it would have some impact. And hopefully that impact will be around my immune system/blood markers of anti-bodies and what not. As always, time will tell.
Having discussions with guys at work about carnivore and fasting and my new approach to eating in general the guys at work think I have turned myself into a lab rat with all these self-experimentations. They may be onto something. LOL
Starting tonight I am back in the lab.
