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.
On last nights Carnivore Talk show I had mentioned that I had heard on a Homestead How video that soft meats or slow cooked meats along with the renderings may help with gut issues including constipation. I found the videos today. The woman that talks about it is Malia Bond. I have been eating primarily slow cooked chuck roasts and consuming the renderings for last 4 months and I have seen some improvement. I do sometimes get looser stools and sometimes firmer but I have had not had severe constipation in last couple months. In the 1st video she mentions it can a year or two or more to heal the gut using soups, soft meats, and broth. In that video she also mentions the meat should not touch the pan so I may try to add some sort of liquid in the slow cooker going forward. I wanted to post the reference material for that. Below are the youtube links. I recommend watching all her videos to determine if you might want to try it.
