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.
hey, don't know if this is the right subforum, apologize in advance if it's not.
I started carnivore on 1st June.
I'm doing it for depression and other mental health conditions. (I'm not even fat)
I'm doing high fat (86%), with a focus on high ketones, I'm averaging 3.5mmol ketones.
I eat the same stuff every day, with very minor variations in the type of meat. I eat chuck meat, full fat cream, cheese, eggs, fat trimmings, ghee and butter.
that's it.
I'm trying this because nothing else has worked, and I really mean NOTHING else.
so... the thing is... so far... nothing happened. not seeing benefits. nothing. I feel exactly the same as always. not worse, not better. nothing. like I'm not even doing a diet.
yeah 1 month is nothing... but everyone I see that gets benefits sees them pretty soon... 1-2 weeks in.
I will do 3 months max to evaluate. but I'm already prepared for another fail.
