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’ve been a carnivore for 2 years and 7 months. With all the benefits of this diet, 25% weight loss, no meds, awesome energy especially for being 71 years old. Just recently had my bloodwork completed and my cholesterol shot up. Of course my doctor got excited. In the past we had tried statins and Repatha but they all gave me muscle cramps and don’t want to go back to meds
Here are my stats
Cholesterol, Total
561High
Triglycerides
294High
HDL Cholesterol
52
VLDL Cholesterol Cal
87High
LDL Cholesterol Calc
099
Now I am looking for a diet to lower my cholesterol so the doctor won’t keep hammering me about statins. Until recently I was BBBE and daily consuming Dr. Kiltz ice cream but have since quit. After some research I discovered that the heavy cream load can cause a bottle neck in the liver and this can cause your cholesterol to rise even though I fasted before the test. Another point is I had a triple bypass in 2022 and am worried about blockage. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
