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 hear a lot of carnivores, especially BBBE carnivores, talking about how much they love bacon. It's quite possibly the easiest thing to eat in our diet. However, I hardly ever hear them mention sugar-free bacon, which I feel like even loose carnivores should only eat, bacon-wise. I hope that this is just assumed, but I'm sure people will figure that out. Now what about 100% strict carnivores who want to eat their sugar-free bacon from the grocery store? Chances are it has spices, vinegar or celery extract, all of which come from plants. After a quick search, I found an article that provides a list of keto Whole30 compliant bacon brands and where to find them, four of which, amazingly, have no plant products whatsoever in their ingredients! If preservatives are a strong no for you, these also won't do because only one of them doesn't have any preservatives either (the U.S Wellness one). They are: Market Pantry Hardwood Smoked Classic Cut Reduced Sodium Bacon from Target, Kirkland Signature Thick Sliced Lower Sodium Bacon from Costco, U.S Wellness Sugar Free Pork Bacon Slices from the U.S Wellness website, and Smithfield Hickory Smoked Lower Sodium Bacon from Walmart. So if you've been wondering how to eat fully carnivore-compliant bacon, that's how.
