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_14425Near Zero carbs a day. A phone/CGM issue, and some insulin struggles. I was going to get an A1c lab. But looking at my CGM data i feel pretty confident my A1c is ~ 6.5 and I ok with that. I just keep to Zero carbs, more exercise, and pay close attention to my insulin dosage. Give it ~ 120 days and do labs.
Come then I going to get blood work to make a LADA Determination. You all enjoy Thanksgiving. I having Turkey thighs in a Carnivore Sauce. Followed by pumpkin cheesecake topped with whipped cream.
I made these choices because my Blood Glucose Level is so good and I cutting back on insulin again.
