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.
Hello everyone, new to the forums but I’ve been LC/carnivore on and off for a few years. I’ve done it mostly for the simplicity that this way of eating offers, and then the reduction in bloating. But I get lazy with it and start to crave variety and inevitably return to SAD. My husband did hard core carnivore earlier this year and not only did he lose 40lbs, but his triglycerides dropped over 500 points. He was at over 700 points and high risk for pancreatitis when he switched to carnivore in January. He saw significant improvements with very low carb. But over the last couple months carby foods have crept back in and his weight is trending upwards again.
So we’re both recommitting to carnivore, he’s going back to it pretty strict while I’ll be doing a variation of it, hoping that with a few non-animal foods mixed in it will be sustainable long term. For the time being I’m still including things like mushrooms and peppers, things that I can add to meat and eggs.
Excited to refocus and get back to it 🙂
