"World Carnivore Month" January Challenge!
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.-

comment_14250I have been reading quite a bit on energy and mental clarity/focus on carnivore.
I am putting thoughts together and my 2+2 might equal 9 but here goes.
When I was on the trash diet/dumpster diet I was eating some of everything. Not horribly bad per se at mealtime but the 6-8 Mountain Dews and three or four Little Debbie cakes per day were doing me no favors. And when eating like that the foods are competing for the work available from the digestive system. It is not very efficient as even if the tract/gut were to gain ground, before assimilation is anywhere near complete, I am eating again.
A lot of the energy we use comes from the ATP which is supported by creatine. Creatine has been widely studied as a performance enhancer but as of late its brain and cognitive support is becoming more and more evident/apparent.
When I got off the dumpster diet and went strict carnivore, I am thinking my gut was one, not being constantly over ran with food, and two there was not a lot of competition for the capabilities of the gut/tract. I feel like things became much more efficient and now the meat and fats are being assimilated at a much higher percentage.
The natural source for creatine is red meat and other proteins.
I wonder is there a connection between being on carnivore the fact I am assimilating meats at a much higher percentage thus getting more of the available creatine, at least more than I would with the meats competing for assimilation amongst the previous dumpster diet.
I was eating the same meats before, maybe even more at times than now, but lost weight, got past inflammation, off-set and auto-immune disease and have more energy than I did before. I think all I really did was both change and target the workload of my gut.
Is my 2+2 closer to four or 9?
