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.
Started Thursday night and now might as well wait till tomorrow to break my fast. First one I've done since December last year. Did a 62 hour and later I did a 38 hour. I felt like I needed one now to reset as I have slipped off the wagon face first. And I had a four day weekend to get matters in order.
I might would break it now, except I want to see what this Fasting app does when I get to the end.
Right now I says I'm in Optimal Autophagy. I didn't know there was anything past normal autophagy until I started using this app.
As of now it says,
Fat Burn: 56:37:26
Ketosis: 52:37:26
Autophagy: 48:37:26
Sposta be hours and minutes.
Anyhow, I feel pretty good. Done some exercises off an on. Drank water mostly and a couple cups of coffee a day. A lick of salt in the evenings when my belly says it's time to eat. Some Mag and Potassium.
I've done a four day fast one other time, years ago. It was Hot and I was under the weather. I wasn't doing it on purpose. Looking back, I spose I could have dehydrated some.
I doubt I catch up to you Scott. But really, 96 hours doesn't seem that far off. 🙂
