Carnivore diet

What weekly meal plans are out there that can be utilised to safely implement a nutritious, well-balanced and sustainable 'Carnivore Diet' effectively? Pondering a change to a more effective diet plan... I already include all of these in my meals...

Your plate is already looking good! Maybe throw in some liver for extra nutrition and lamb chops to mix things up.

I really like Liver & Onions (back from my days in the SADF, when it was often the standard hot meal for breakfast), but the price of lamb chops is astronomical - it's even MORE expensive per kilo than cheese... ;)

Here's current Pick n Pay butchery prices as an example:

32kg down.

Have slowly added back a bit of occasional cheese. Also allow myself some almonds, macadamia's and Lindt 85% on weekends.

Still buying bulk ribeye 5-7kg's at a time and not tired of it in the slightest.

Smashing Woolworths fashion vouchers when available to slowly replace my oversized wardrobe.

Wow good job! Where are you buying your meat from and how much are you playing if I may ask?

Totally agree about the cost of lamb chops! They're my special treat.

Well done!

How long were you on a meat-only diet, and did you eat any organ meats?

Thank you. Started 8 January. Lost the first 22kg by Easter. Down from extremely tight 44 pants to loose 38 now.

No organ meat besides some liver sausage a couple of times. My regular food list:

Ribeye steak
Dry-wors
Biltong
Boerewors
Lamb rib fingers with Weber rosemary and garlic salt - this is a winner and super quick in the air fryer
Coffee with a splash of milk - 6-8 pods a day
Lots of water
Cheese grillers and Vienna's once or twice a week from my trusted butcher who shared the ingredients with me
6-8 fried eggs for a brunch on a Saturday or Sunday to fill any nutrient gaps.

All meat comes from trusted sources who I have spoken to and made sure of what is mixed in.

I'm buying bulk, A-Grade vacuum packed ribeye steaks for R124/kg - a steal!

I have also perfected cooking them in the air fryer from frozen. Highest temp, 18 minutes. Medium rare with a crust on the outside. So easy when getting home late etc.

Wow bra that is a steal!!! Is that all you are eating? If so what is you monthly spend? I tried doing it with steak but it got very expensive very fast! You can also DM me if you don’t want to divulge publicly. I need to get myself feeling better again.

So difficult to say. We're a family of 4, so it would be impossible for me to work out what it costs to just feed me.

But overall, I am definitely spending a few grand less each month. I mean, I ran the numbers this past weekend. I paid R700 for over 5kg of ribeye on Saturday which should last 2 weeks before my next batch. The kids wanted Burger King on Thursday night when SO was out, so I decided to have a treat and ordered the grilled wings and a burger (I ditched the bun) and that was about R350 for myself and the kids! To think I used to eat expensive cr*p like that almost daily before carnivore - what a waste of money!

That isn’t bad at all ne! You Cape Town based? Maybe I can also get those lekker prices!
 
My weekly egg intake.

The look on the face of our waitress when I asked her to add 3 extra eggs to the Carb Conscious breakfast and then a patty. I think she thought I would die of a heart attack before the bill came. My wife burst out laughing.

Shared the onion rings with the family - the few I had were the perfect week treat/cheat.

No soya in that patty?
 
Simple, sharable steps to adopt a Proper Human Diet

1. Eliminate anything containing added sugar from your diet.
This sugar provides no benefit to your body and leads to high blood sugar, high insulin levels & chronic inflammation. This includes fruit juices which in many cases contain more sugar than a Coke.

2. Eliminate all grains & legumes from your diet. Wheat, rice, oats, corn, soybeans, etc. These have very little in the way of meaningful nutrition and contain 2 things to avoid; i. starch-long chains of sugar that break down into sugar in your body & ii. gluten-like inflammatory proteins that lead to chronic inflammation.

3. Eliminate seed oils from your diet. Canola, soybean, corn, peanut, sunflower, safflower, etc. These oils are new to the human diet and contain too much Omega-6 fatty acids that research has shown to lead to chronic inflammation in some people.

*** These 1st 3 steps will remove 100% of ultra-processed food from your diet and will give immediate results (in weeks) for 80% of people.

4. Make sure each meal contains meat, seafood or eggs. These foods were eaten by your ancestors for millions of years and are very nutrient-dense. Although many main-stream sources claim that these foods are inflammatory, we've seen bloodwork from 10,000's of people whose inflammatory markers go down on meat.

Carbohydrate Knob theory: Some people can tolerated more carbs than others. People who fatten easily or develop diabetes easily need to turn down their carb intake knob closer to zero. Young, active people can tolerate more natural carbs in their diet. Remember, there is no Need for carbs in the diet. As you turn down the Carb Intake Knob more & more you will be eating more meat, eggs & seafood...

Snacking: Snacking is never healthy, regardless of the snack. Eat discrete meals during the day separated by periods of not eating. Eating due to boredom or stress is never a healthy choice.

Plant Toxins: All plants use chemical defense chemicals to protect their parts, this is inarguable. Some plants are more toxic than others. Some people can tolerate these toxins more than others. Anyone suffering from inflammatory or auto-immune disease should try 90 days of Carnivore to see if they are reacting to the plant chemicals.

@BBSA

"all grains & legumes from your diet. Wheat, rice, oats, corn, soybeans, etc" - even lentils?

EDIT: what about (can't remember what it's called but it's bad) in eggs?

EDIT: might be cholesterol?
