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 am experimenting with a carnivore diet. Initially, I planned a 6 month trial. Since I began it has become a 1 month trial. I will most likely make it 6 months to see the effect. I have achieved cognitive benefits from a diet regimen in the past. However, I have not had it in me to go that route recently.
I have been eating for comfort. I am also now on a medication which has weight gain as a side effect. I have not been inspired enough to give up what I get out of the comfort food. I have loved bakery desserts all of my life. Fortunately I had a metabolism that enabled me to eat anything and all that I wanted. I am not even pre-diabetic but I am curious to see how it feels to eliminate sugar.
A few years ago I stumbled upon a book about something else but it happened to elaborate on diet, the evolution of mankind and how there is obesity where people are staving. I am curious to see how it feels to live on a carnivore diet. I like to eat and at times I have spent a lot of time experimenting with recipes and cooking. Out of necessity I was tired of the ways I have to prepare meats and thought of making soups. I ended up improving my soup making method after a few attempts and now think of soup as something very atypical of my limited menu. I anticipate discovering many things along the way as I work with a limited diet.
