"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.-

Hello, everyone. I recently started carnivore as an extreme elimination diet to see if it would clear up some eczema. It seems to have had a strong impact on my lipid panel and I wanted to get an idea of what is a normal change in cholesterol as a result of eating carnivore.
Here is my lipid panel:
Date Cholesterol Triglyceride HDL Chol LDL Chol Non-HDL
5/26/2025 210 189 54 118.2 156
4/20/2026 Started Carnivore
5/26/2026 350 201 35.6 274.2 314.4
6/26/2026 439 180 34.1 368.9 404.9
I started carnivore on about 4/20/2026
Is that spike typical, or do I have something else going on? Are those numbers ok as long as I am otherwise healthy, or is carnivore just not for me?
