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.
So yesterday I went to a concert and had 2 beers. Mind you, I have NOT had a beer for probably 14-15 months or more. But I bring this up because I couldn't believe what the scale said this morning.
I usually clock in at 175.5 on a daily basis. This morning, I stepped on and it said 179.5. Seriously! FOUR pounds from 2 beers?
Anyway, it will be forever and a day before I touch another one, and I am sure tomorrow morning it will read 175.5 again.
I fully expected a slight increase. Beer in particular is known for interfering with your body's ability to burn fat. Plus, it is a grain and contains carbs. BOTH the carbs and the alcohol must be metabolized first before you return to ketosis. And most people when they drink beer, they gorge on other unhealthy carby foods to boot.
Now imagine someone who does this on the daily, and how bad they are wrecking their health and developing that beer belly. I was never that kind of drinker back when I was a [regular] drinker.
