"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.-

I just completed a 96 hour fast. I did a dry fast from Monday night to Wednesday night, drank some water with some salt, then continued to Friday night with 48 more hours of a water fast.
Energy levels stayed way up throughout the week. This is the first time fasting while working day shift. On Wednesday I did feel a little muscle fatigue/muscular endurance issues as I had to go from the first floor to the fourth floor and roof four or five time in an hour. I am sure being a little dehydrated played a part in that, having 56 birthdays probably contributed as well. I sat down to fill out some work orders and after that energy was solid the rest of the day.
Once I started rehydrating on Wednesday the Thursday and Friday energy levels were really high. The days were hectic and fast paced at work but the energy levels remained, maybe somewhere between really high and the steady energy I have gained from carnivore.
I am a little loose in the caboose after breaking the fast, again. But all in all, it went well.
My bloodwork is coming up in a couple of weeks and I am coupling that with the way I feel and have felt the last year with no NMO/SD day symptoms/issues. I am leaning toward no longer taking the infusions every six months. That is six to eight hours I can find something else to do and $3500-$3900 I can buy more meats. LOL
I credit my new found health to the carnivore lifestyle (I called it a carnivore diet for well over a year but I think now at 18-19 months it is a lifestyle now), fasting and working out. Just like anyone else, I might kick over graveyard dead at any time as nothing is promised, but these three things have me felling better than I have in 30+ years and in better health to boot.
For me it is a really good combination.
