Feel great this am. I typically eat like this every day. It's not rocket science to give yourself every benefit to be healthy.

How do you flavor meat with zero carb? I want to try this diet for a week just to test it out but the thought of meat without garnishment sounds tortorous. Isn’t it absolutely disgusting ? No ketchup, no mustard, no vegetables or carb on the side ?

Fish needs lime, beef needs onion or garlic , chicken needs a marinade or some plant based herbs like orenago.

Most cooking oils like olive oil or canola are seed/plant based .

Even if one uses butter on the meat or chicken, it won’t have any taste without being flavored by oregano or parsley or garlic some sort of plant or herb .

Fat tastes gross without carbs. That’s why nobody eats sticks of butter alone

OP here. I’m not as hardcore as some. But I’d use all the garnishes you described except ketchup. Totally fine with herbs and spices, and also veggies that serve to flavor the meat.

Cut out the greens and you will feel even better but congrats on getting all the useless carbs out of your diet.
Glucose literally feeds cancer cells but people refuse to give up the carbs. That's the power of addiction

If glucose caused cancer , wouldn’t most diabetics have cancer?

The majority of cancer patients aren’t overweight or insulin resistant

Nobody said it causes cancer genius. Cancer uses glucose as fuel.

Wrong, most if not all adult cancer patients are metabolically unwell.

And one is metabolically well by consuming eggs, bacon, and cheese sans the bread all the time?

Smoked and processed meats like deli meats are well known to be carcinogenic.

Every meat isn’t the same just like every carb isn’t the same.

How much do y'all pay per month in groceries? Specifically those on the carnivore diet

You shouldn't notice any increase in monthly spending. You would be buying more expensive cuts of steak but the costs are offset by the fact you aren't buying and sides, any snacks or diet sodas, etc. My grocery bill actually decreased a little

I've been following the carnivore diet since the start of this year. I've lost weight. Had energy increases, quieted thought processes and increased sexual stamina and muscle mass. Joints don't hurt.

There need to be more studies done. But I absolutely love it and the only thing I regret is that I love different foods so going completely cold turkey (lol) is hard


I have cheat days but I try to have a general overall trend of meat centric dieting.


If I have a day where I end up eating pizza I make sure to just revert back to what works the next day and stick to it as closely as I can.

I was really unfamiliar and started watching YT and then I saw the recipe for "cake." Who in the hell could live like this? Even Keto is far more reasonable. This diet is insane.

I don’t think they’re insane. They’re living without the drug of sugar which is a good thing. Meat is the only thing the sugar industry hasn’t ruined.

A diet of meat, butter, cheese, and eggs probably means they don’t have to use the bathroom a lot because their body absorbs all the minerals in the food, they are less bloated and gassy from stomach irritants like fiber, and have stronger bones, muscles, skin, and teeth from all the mineral rich meat and collagen they’re assuming. They probably have healthier A1C levels, less insulin spikes, and Less mental fog and depression and anxiety.

First thing, I have been able to fully reverse type 2 diabetes without drugs and lost 60 pounds in the last two years. My skin, hormones, and muscle tone have greatly improved as well despite being almost 50. I get regular periods and no more menopausal symptoms. Fatty meat is the basis of hormonal health.

My husband has reversed his Hashimoto’s and is also no longer on any prescription drugs. He has mostly been thin and active since we have been together (30 years) but was getting skinny fat on a plant based diet. He is now muscle-y and looks amazing. Younger, more confident and a wow in bed!

Over the past two years we have given up alcohol as it’s no longer something we crave. We supplement with vitamin d (in the winter as we get plenty of sun otherwise), magnesium, and iodine (for hormonal and adrenal support).

Our two teens still at home love this way of eating and have been making huge strides in athletics while maintaining all A’s in school. They also work part time jobs and have great skin and hair. They know they will feel crappy when they eat standard American crap food with their friends. They have to experience that and learn on their own. Our two kids in college were skeptical but both have come around after seeing our results and are trying to stay cleaner with their diets and be more animal based.

I understand (especially as a former vegan) that this seems strange. Don’t knock it til you try it. We did this initially as a two week experiment and it’s been amazing.

We get most of our meat from a local rancher and get our eggs and raw milk and cream from a local farm. We are lucky that despite living in a major metropolitan area, we have been able to source this. We also shop at Costco for some extra meats, cheeses, sparkling water, and snacks(Chomps).

This is affordable, we are regular and our trashcan is practically empty every week as we generate hardly any trash now.

The sodium and cholesterol in Chomps is undoable. I would rather NOT have a heart attack.

This diet is bad for kidneys.

Gross how bad do your dumps smell?

Carnivore dumps don’t smell worse because they arent eating meat all day, most do one meal a day/OMAD and they barely poop because they have less waste to take out. Meat is used by the body unlike plant waste like insoluble fiber, anti nutrients in plants, and water from carbs

Are all carnivores strictly carnivore and no plant based foods at all (fruit and veg)? I can’t even prepare or eat meat or poultry or fish dishes without vegs (garlic, lemon, bell peppers, salad).


I can believe the elimination of all grains is good for the body . All the vitamins and minerals one gets from grains are found in meat or nuts/seeds and dairy anyway.

I’m having a hard time understanding the utility behind keeping dairy but not plants

A lot of carnivores do not consume dairy products as they are inherently more inflammatory. The Lion Diet is more strict and is typically meat and water only, no coffee, dairy etc.

Some do this for a while and add back dairy and some fruits and veggies as tolerated. Meat is the most nutrient dense food on the planet so most carnivores or ketovores end up not needing to eat much after a while on the diet. Most true carnivores are quite slim and really are low on viceral fat.

But their shit smells horrific

I will take horrific shit + slim.

Thai recipes only require garlic, chili, lime and fish sauce, try making larb with fatty ground meats.

I eat fruit though (low fodmap fruit) and veggies (low fodmap veggies). I keep my meats to mostly dark meat (turkey, chicken and also fish). Eat nuts. Feel much better. Took a urine test for other reasons and noticed some ketones in my urine (also some crystals ugh hope not getting kidney stones from this!!)

You almost certainly are. I had a ton after eating very low carb. Enjoy the urologist visits! And if you’re not already I’d be drinking at least 80 ounces of water a day.

Without any added carb my meals still have protein to carb ratio of 1 to 1. Plenty of vegetables have carbs (broccoli, cabbage, carrots) so you must be eating leafy greens without dressing? Try diversify the vegetables and add one fruit or maybe even 1 cup of oatmeal per day. That will boot you out of kidney issues.
