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_14255My focus is on the carnivore diet and keeping it simple. So my diet is primarily Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs (BBBE). I am
Not adding any significant amount of carbs or anything fermented. Both of those are above my comprehension level. My carbohydrate in take is always under 10 grams per day. I eat no organs or sardines.
My monitoring is mostly from my Libre 2 Plus CGM. I target a blood Glucose range of 70 to 140 mg/dL. I closely watch my daily BGL graph and 7 day BGL average.
I currently using only Lantus, a long acting insulin. With above mentioned diet i do not need any rapid acting insulin.
Exercise is walking 3 to 4x a week for 40 minutes at a time. 200+ standing calf ups and sitting heel ups a day, sometimes many more.
Supplements are D3/K2, Iodine, CoQ10.
I eat mostly OMAD.
My BGL is on average 120, using 30 Units of Lantus insulin per day on a split dose. Long range i hope to decrease this dose.
I am in my previous stated BGL range 95+ percent of the time.
I keep a close eye on:
1. BGL
2. Blood Pressure
3. HDL
4. Triglycerides
5. Height / waist ratio
6. Body mass in lbs
