March Motivation Challenge! - Enter to WIN!
"Marching into March with Much Motivation"
For this months challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to get up and move. Spring is in the air. The weather is getting better. Get out there and MOVE! Go for walks, hike some trails if they aren't too muddy. Or just make a goal to get on the treadmill or lift some weights more than usual throughout the month. Get in the habit now, and we just might have beach bodies when summer officially hits, lol.
Just like before, 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.
The March drawing will be for a 4-pack of Carnivore Bars!

February Fasting Challenge - Enter to WIN!
Today is February 1st and marks the first day of "National Fasting February" - and yes, this is a thing. Google it!
For this month's challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to practice various forms of fasting throughout the month. The type of fasting you wish to do is entirely up to you. We are going to encourage INTERMITTENT FASTING, that is to put it simply, skipping a meal so that you are only eating 2 meals a day instead of the traditional 3 meals a day. The goal is to enjoy these meals within an 8 hour "feasting window" and then no food in the remaining 16 hours "fasting window" (in which 8 of those hours you should be sleeping).
An example is waking up at 7am, but waiting until 11am-noon for your first meal, and then having dinner at 6-7pm for your 2nd meal. Other people prefer to eat a breakfast, then a mid-day lunch, and skip dinner.
If you want to throw in a 24, 48, or 72 hour fast just to show off by all mean do so, lol.

"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.-

comment_1728Hey carnivore community!
Today, I want to share a culinary secret that can take your carnivore diet to the next level: compound butter. You may have heard of it. But if you're not familiar with it, compound butter is a game-changer when it comes to enhancing the flavors of your meat-based dishes.
So, what exactly is compound butter? It's a combination of softened butter and various herbs, spices, or other flavorings. While many people associate compound butter with bread or vegetables, it can actually be a fantastic addition to your carnivorous meals.
If you're looking to add an extra burst of flavor to your steak, lamb chops, or other meaty delights, compound butter can be your best friend. By mixing in herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano, you can create a mouthwatering herb-infused compound butter that will complement and elevate the natural flavors of your meat.
For those who enjoy a hint of spice, consider incorporating spices like black pepper, chili powder, or even a dash of cayenne pepper into your compound butter. This will give your meat a delicious kick that will tantalize your taste buds without compromising your carnivore principles.
To make your own compound butter, start with softened unsalted butter (usually at room temp will do) and blend in your chosen herbs or spices. Feel free to experiment with different combinations until you find your perfect match. Once mixed, roll the butter into a log using plastic wrap and chill it until firm. Whenever you're ready to indulge, simply slice off a pat of compound butter and let it melt over your sizzling meat. Here is a video by Jean-Pierre that has some examples (they may not all be carnivore) as well as a good technique:

The beauty of compound butter is that it allows you to customize your carnivore experience. You can create unique flavors that cater specifically to your taste preferences. Whether you're a fan of smoky flavors, tangy accents, or bold and spicy profiles, compound butter can be your secret weapon in the kitchen.
When I first heard of making your own, some of the recipes I tried stated that they were only good in the fridge for maybe a week. Then I saw a video that sported the idea of slicing the finished chilled log into patties and freezing them in a ziplock bag until needed. Duh! Why didn't I think of that? Knowing that, I can make some compound butter logs that have perishable ingredients and not have to worry about spoilage!
There are a lot of videos featuring compound butter so I don't think we will be lacking in ideas.
I'm eager to hear about your favorite compound butter recipes and how you incorporate them into your carnivore diet. Have you tried a garlic and herb compound butter on a perfectly seared ribeye steak? Or perhaps a smoky paprika compound butter melted over grilled lamb chops? Let's share our ideas and experiences to inspire each other on this carnivorous journey!
Keep savoring.
