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.
It is 12:15 AM. This is not fun. The CGM app allows me to shut the alarms off for up to 6 hours. 2 of the 4 average glucose reports are lower. My BGL is 64, a painful finger stick just to be sure. My CGM is at 56 and apears to be stabilizing, no need to treat at the moment.
I never thought giving up Coke Zero would cause this. No one warned me of this. I have no carbohydrates in the house. Just orange flavored glucose tablets, like a sugar cube. 4 grams of carbs each. , if I need them. I envision my PCP with a worried look on their face. They thinking how risky the Ketogenic diet is. PCP thinks I should c eat a "healthy " ADA Adiet and control my BGL with insulins. And maintain an A1C between 7 snd 8 %. No, I not doing that, I keeping my toes and legs. As well as my eyessight and kidneys.
Sorry to rant on. Ok back to sleep, will see if i have to reduce my next long acting Lantus insulin injection in the morning. Right now looks like another 10 % reduction.
