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've been on the carnivore diet 5 months and have lost about 57 pounds. Started at 370 and weighed 313 this morning. For more than half of this diet, I've only eaten lunch and dinner, no breakfast. I'm thinking of going to OMAD. From you guy's experience, what one meal is it best to eat if you're only eating one per day?
I can see pros and cons to each.
If it's only breakfast I eat, I won't be having a meal with the family, and I'll create a hassle trying to cook while two kids and my wife are all trying to get ready for the day. I guess a pro could be that I can run all day on that meal and the time at which I'd be most likely to be hungry is when I'm asleep. But if that caused sleep problems, it wouldn't be worth it.
If it's only lunch I eat, I'll be at work and having anything decent there would be a chore.
If it's only dinner I eat, I'll be sleeping with all that food on me and most likely be super hungry at work.
What have you guys experienced?
