January is 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 how 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 (valued at $100) at the end of the month.

Hello Fellow Carnivores! Happy Carnivore month! I’ll be doing BBBE this month! Let’s do this!

Just as low carb as i can be. OMAD, usually 4 ounces of bacon before cooking, 3 eggs, and ~ 12 ounces of beef. Ever onward.

I'm might be out on this one this year.

I'm on mostly a red meat diet (beef) but I am using whey protein and milk to get my protein intake up.

I am not sure how much trouble I am in with carnivore police with the whey protein. LOL

My plan is to lift as best I can while hitting my protein targets thru the month of February and then drop back to a strict red meat, salt and water diet for March and April.

Good luck to all that give carnivore a whirl, regardless of variation, as most any variation will be better than what most eat. Many successes out there to be had.

Perhaps the real challenge is the bombardment of noise from the ant-i carnivore segment. I just saw a short that said no wonder i was so constipated and tired. I must have fiber and carbs they said

Eating is postponed for a bit, not just hungry. Off to see PCP, no big deal. Later rib roast. Be well

Onward Carnivore soldier! :)

Is remaining OMAD your goal for January?

Whey comes from cows, so you're good in my book ;)

whey protein

That’s a milk byproduct isn’t it? Still carnivore.

Yep. Whey is a by-product of milk.

I tried an all beef protein powder but it did not exactly agree with my stomach.

Whey, it will be, for awhile.
