"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'm on my monthly fast. I usually aim for 72 hours but sometimes life gets in the way, and it gets shortened but on occasion I have stretched them to 96. I'm about 50 hours deep on the latest.
I went cold turkey from a dumpster diet to strict carnivore in May '24. I have made a number of adjustments, some good and some not so good, trying to dial in carnivore to fit me, or better said, to dial in me on carnivore. So far, I have only had positives. I consider myself really lucky.
As I dial my approach I think I am going to land on Carnivore+Fasting+Resistance Training. My approach with carnivore will be pretty much the same. When convenient I do use a pre-made protein drink and it has 7-11 grams of sugar. It is not ideal but if there is a silver lining, it spikes my hunger so I can get in more protein. Hitting the protein target has really helped with the resistance training. I'm not absolutely killing it in the gym but I am putting in some good work. I'm gaining some muscle and the overall strength has increased. One of my new sayings I like came from a guy's T-shirt in the gym and it said, "The plates don't lie". I am actually increasing the plates on a somewhat regular basis.
I'm off prednisone and Neurontin/Gabapentin since June of '24 with just the carnivore and since I started fasting regularly my immune numbers/blood work has returned to what the world considers normal.
I'm babbling on as a lot of this is our conversations at work the last two nights. We have a number of people here on the weight loss shots and I am amazed at the number of people who are not changing their lifestyle. Most seem OK with the shot being a lifelong answer. Some have been using the shots like a yo-yo diet.
Part of me wants to say it is hard for me to understand but I think maybe prior to May '24 I would have had a different perspective. Not sure.
Hope everyone has a Happy Easter and finds the egg they are in search of.
