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_14278The last couple of weeks I first gained back most of the weight I lost in week 1, then stayed the same week 3. On Monday I started OMAD and it has been going well. Its after 4pm here and I last ate at 4pm yesterday and I am not ready to break my fast, but I have about 3 lbs of bacon in the oven for today and the next week for side dishes. I also just purchased a Zgrills pellet smoker and I put it together today and I am doing the initial burn off right now. I have 2 3+lb chuck roasts I am going to smoke starting early tomorrow morning. I am planning on meal prepping using the smoker to make large quantities of meat so I will have enough for many days worth of meals. I am excited about the smoker, I have never smoked anything before but I could use a new hobby.
As a side note I went to an amazing concert on Tuesday night! Ben Fuller, Leanna Crawford, We the Kingdom and Zach Williams headlining. What a fantastic show! God has been really good to me lately.
