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.
Recipe
Meatballs
Ingredients,
•
• 1 pound ground meat
• 1 pound sausage
• 1/2 cup pork rind panko
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
• ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
Place the hamburger and sausage in a food processor. Alternate the meat in chucks to aid in even mixing.
Scramble the egg and add it along with all of the other ingredients except the cheese to the food processor.
Pulse until mixture starts to combine and flow into a paste.
Once the mixture is combined you can add the cheeses and turn the food processor on to thoroughly mix in the cheese.
Once it is the consistency of a paste you can stop the mixing and start rolling the mix into meatballs.
Do not compact the meatballs but gently roll them into a ball so they don’t become dense.
As you can see I wrapped some in bacon. I recommend doing that.
Place in the smoker at 250° - 275° until they reach an internal temperature of 165°.
If you want to use the oven then set it at 425° for 20 minutes.
All done and ready to eat.
Serve with a carnivore alfredo sauce, carnivore steak sauce or carnivore gravy.
Notes;
Any ground meat will suffice. I used lamb burger and hot venison breakfast sausage.
You don’t have to use a food processor. You can just use your hands but using a processor gives the cooked meat a much finer texture.
Only use cheese if you can tolerate it.
All seasoning’s are of course optional depending on your diet and how you tolerate them.
I am In maintenance mode and I can tolerate them in limited amounts. I also use white pepper rather than black.
The recipe for the sauce is already posted on separate thread.
