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.
Hi ALL!!
Joining today as I would like to find my tribe. My husband and I have been ketovore/carnivore for just over a year. Found a great deal of healing initially that gave us our lives back. We have found it difficult socially as our family and friends think we are going to kill ourselves eating this way. We have found a significant decrease in invitations to events or gatherings and have even had people directly message me asking me to stop talking about it as it is 'triggering' for them. While I appreciate their candour, I am finding the need to search for community and support. So here I am.
My husband and I live in Melbourne Australia. We have collectively lost over 60 kgs (132lbs) pretty equal amounts between us, overcome addictions, normalised our HbA1Cs, become more active, and feel better than we have for a long long time - maybe ever. I'm a little stuck at the moment so am hoping to find some suggestions from the community's collective experience but mostly, I really want to be able to join conversations about people's experiences without being shut down or told I'm doing something wrong.
Hoping this is a good community that are accepting of the nuances in this way of living. Looking forward to exploring the site a little more.
