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.

Blue Cheese Butter Recipe (Easy Compound Butter for Steak)
Easy blue cheese butter with garlic and herbs. A simple compound butter that melts over steak, burgers, veggies, or baked potatoes for bold flavor.
Ingredients
• ▢ ½ cup butter (one stick) salted preferred or add ¼ teaspoon kosher salt if unsalted butter
• ▢ ½ cup blue cheese crumbs
• ▢ 1 tablespoon parsley fresh, chopped
• ▢ 1 teaspoon basal
• ▢ 2 cloves garlic crushed
Instructions
• Allow the butter to come to room temperature. You can also microwave it briefly—about 15–20 seconds, flipping halfway.
• Combine the soft butter with ½ cup of blue cheese crumbles, 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon of dry basil, and 2 cloves of crushed garlic in a small bowl. Mix until well combined.
• Spoon the mixture onto parchment or wax paper and roll into a log. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours to firm up.
• Slice into 1-tablespoon pats and serve on steaks, vegetables, or anything hot.
Notes
Pro Tips
1. Use softened butter—it makes mixing easier.
2. Salted butter is preferred. If using unsalted, add ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt per stick.
3. Any blue cheese will work. Crumbles are easiest; ½ cup is about 2 ounces.
4. Store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze pats flat in a sealed bag for 2–3 months.
5. Great on steak, vegetables, burgers, potatoes, or stirred into rice or noodles.
