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.

On a positive note I do believe i am making progress. Is a slow go.

Slow progress is still progress. It's not a race, lol.

My initial results were amazing. Dropped the first 60 pounds almost effortlessly over 6 months. Now if I want to shed more, it's going to require some effort on my part.

Some numbers : Avg. BGL

7 Day Avg. 102

14 Day Avg. 105

30 Day Avg. 109

I just keep as close as possible to ZERO Carb as is possible. My PCP says a Ketogenic Diet is a health risk and an ongoing problem for me. The same person tells me I may not have a heart attack bit a stroke is likely. They have no evidence.
