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.
Today was my follow up appointment. I had traded emails over the past few months. In the emails she seemed genuinely interested in the Carnivore approach but that failed in comparison to the visit today. As i was walking in she and another Neurologist were talking and I heard 'animal based diet'. I didn't know they were talking about me.
She came in and asked if the other Neurologist could sit in on the visit. The conversation covered my start in May til now. They both asked a number of questions about what I eat, how I feel and the correlation between the diet, the weight loss and the coming off the medicine for inflammation.
I have read many non-doctor you-tubers say how doctors do not actually study nutrition and just go off what has been 'put out' by the fraternity. My Neurologist actually said it out loud. She told me she had become really interested in the carnivore approach in the MS community and its affects.
So interested, she wants me to drop her emails every week or so documenting my progress/setbacks, whatever, just general information.
It was a really good visit.
