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, 24 days ago, I changed from a SAD to a zero carb, Carnivore diet. Before starting Carnivore, my fasting glucose was typically between 250-350, and it is still in that range after 24 days with no carbs.
I’ve watched dozens of hours of videos from Ken Berry, Anthony Chaffe, and others. I’m thinking that maybe my liver and pancreas are dumping fat, but would this triglycerides turn into glucose, which would keep my glucose high, or are they burned as ketones? I’m also concerned that maybe this means my eyelet beta cells in my pancreas are burned out and I’m not producing any insulin, which traps the glucose in the blood as insulin is needed to deliver glucose to the cells.
I actually feel really good, even with the high glucose, so I’m continuing Carnivore knowing that no carbs is still better than what I was eating. I know my Type 2 was severely advanced, and that maybe it’ll take a couple of months to get my glucose levels to normal.
I wanted to ask a community of people with more experience. Thanks in advance for the responses. It is concerning.
