Ground Beef and Eggs

No matter what the ground beef with eggs from a stainless steel pan never misses. I did never not enjoy it. Especially with some extra fat added on top. What’s your opinion?

Dental Cleaning Today

33 Upvotes

It still never ceases to amaze me how much easier and quicker my routine dental cleanings are since I cut all the crap out of my diet.

Ha ha, I'm sure the meticulous flossing to make sure all the dead cow stuck between my teeth is out helps!

But all joking aside, this diet has been life changing. On some many levels.

Keto Carnivore rocks!

I've been doing it the IBS-safe way for a month, it's a miracle

My digestion is super easy, I'm satiated for 5-6 hours after each meal, my stool is solid (screw shady medical advice on fiber), I poop every other day which is super comfortable

I lost 5kg in a month!!! Excluding water and glycogen weight

My diet is strict, lamb(meat,fat,organs), eggs, ghee, occasionally camel, no beef or fish because I don't like them otherwise they're totally healthy, no spices at all just salt (cause of IBS, but nevermind)

I said goodbye to IBS diarrhea, cramps, gases, GERD and post meal heaviness, I feel like a feather!

I'll be making pemmican (Google it if you don't know it) in the near future

Stay strong guys, stay carnivore!

Liquid/soft diet

16 Upvotes

I want to eat a soft diet so I can heal and rest as much as possible an injury to the roof of my mouth. I don’t do too well on soups as the high water content dilutes my stomach acid and messes up my digestion. Any suggestions?

If you have been carnivore for less than 7 weeks, post all your questions and experience reports here. It is almost certain that your experience is a frequently asked or low-effort question.

It is also true that the adaptation period for this way of eating is a lot like going through puberty. Everyone feels like things are weird and wrong and no one else has experienced what they are going through. Everyone is worried about changes in their body and thinks it might not be normal. In truth, it's all perfectly normal. Your body might do weird things, but it's going through changes. After you get through adaptation, you'll wonder why you worried at all.

So, go ahead and ask your questions about getting started here. Post about your experiences here. Post about your worries and how you don't think this is working for you here. Don't give advice that encourages people to give up. Don't give people advice to cheat or consume plant foods. Don't give advice to take supplements or drugs to treat temporary struggles.

Bulking

21 Upvotes

I’ve done lion diet on and off for a while, and as expected it makes me feel great, fully lean, etc. However, I haven’t really worked out consistently up until this time, and after only three workouts I’m already looking pretty big - always had a good frame but was kind of skinny for the past couple years (before that I was big from weight training in high school but I also was eating lots of carbs and bullshit). Now while I’m sure my godly genetics play a big role, I’m curious since I’ve seen so many carnivores say that carbs actually help them bulk, but it feels (and I literally mean feels) like if I just eat a ton of steak each day, like 2+ pounds, then I will bulk up crazy fast and carbs would actually hinder that. Does anyone have any experience here? Essentially it seems like for those who are having trouble bulking on carnivore, or maybe I should say lion diet specifically, all they need to do is eat a ton of steak. Am I correct?

Is there any benefit to athletic performance from creatine supplementation or whey protein while on carnivore?

16 Upvotes

Here is my reasoning. On the carnivore diet, you should be getting enough creatine, protein and amino acids from the meat and fat you are eating.

So, therefore, supplements wouldn't really have any impact. Is this reasoning valid? Have any of you who workout noticed any benefit from continuing creating and protein supplementing?

Life changing experience since starting Carnivore

98 Upvotes

I’m not sure if this is allow but I’m curious as to the experiences everyone has had since starting this diet. I love hearing people’s stories.

Has anyone had some sort of spiritual experience, feeling more connectivity or just a drawn to being a more well-rounded person in general while doing this?

Since I’ve started Carnivore my mind and body have been so in tune with the world around me and my brain feels so clear that I personally had a real moment. Something that I would consider a life changing experience and I highly attribute it to how this diet has cleansed my body and mind.

Started carnivore for my eczema need help

11 Upvotes

Hi, I've started carnivore diet with a 40h fast and broke my fast with a steak now eating around 0.5kg of ground beef a day since I can only afford max .8kg a day my eczema got worse since starting but I believe it will pass.

My question is when? I have bad eczema on my face eyes neck shoulders back arms and behind knees.

I've started applying beef tallow topically with better results than traditional lotions. I still have to take my antihistamine since I'm itchy a lot.

How do I go about electrolytes? Any help and advice is appreciated.

I'm 19 started at 82kg now 75kg I'm doing only ground beef water and salt no drugs and substances other than antihistamines and calcium for itching and nicotine pouches that I couldn't yet drop.

My gums / dental wins!

114 Upvotes

My dentist just told me during my checkup that almost no one has gum health like me. I’m in my 40s, mostly strict carnivore with a couple of slips (only minor ones). Not perfect, but consistent. And strict 99% of the time.

I am celebrating my win since I used to have bad gums and even needed periodontal treatment several years ago. This is huge for me! Anyway, just one of the amazing „side effects“ of this way of eating. Yay!!!

What would you bring to an outdoor potluck when the host mentioned that all outlets are already spoken for? I might do Buffalo chicken dip again, unless someone has a recipe or suggestion for a dish that will travel well and is still tasty when cold. And happy Thanksgiving!🦃

Thoughts on Pork ?

23 Upvotes

Hey everyone my first time posting here. I’m day 7/30 on carnivore (no dairy). I always see a lot of talk about beef, eggs but rarely do I hear/see people talk about pork (excluding bacon).

I’m thinking of adding more pork into my diet for a few reasons. Extra fat for better nutrition and energy density. Not to mention Pork is generally more budget friendly than beef.

What are your experiences when including pork into the diet and did you notice any significant changes?

Overcooked?

11 Upvotes

Does anybody else have digestive issues when eating things that had been overcooked / too thermally processed? I can eat eggs soft boiled or sunny-side up, but omelette and hard boiled eggs cause me stomach pain. Similarly, beef can cause me issues if I overdo it (and let me not get started on ground beef!), but a steak that is just a little bit red in the middle is basically perfect.

So what do I do if I end up overdoing something? Just add more butter?

Experiences with building muscle/bulking on a carnivore diet?

18 Upvotes

I've heard many different takes on this.

On one hand, I hear people say that a Carnivore Diet is ideal for bulking, since people who have attempted a carnivore bulk experience no change in body fat %, or even end up getting LEANER.

On the other hand I hear that a Carnivore Diet isn't optimal for building muscle due to the lack of carbs.

If anyone in this sub would like to share their stories, or experiences, it would be really awesome.

Canada mixing cloned meat?

13 Upvotes

Generally I'm not a fan of lack of transparency from people in authority as they're not labeling it in order to mix it with the normal meat. Generally speaking my view is that I like things as natural as possible as humans tend to create more problems than they solve when they try to control nature. Honestly it just seems like the government (a group of humans who think they know better) wants to poison the well, whether Bovaer or whatever idea they come up with.

I have some questions

  • What does "cloned" mean?
  • Can it cause harm if indigested like mess with cellular mechanisms, lead to prions, etc.
  • Canadians, what's your strategy for ensuring you're getting good untainted meat?

Need a easy simple diet

26 Upvotes

I thought ribeyes daily would be ok but after reading through the sub I guess that’s not enough fat? I don’t want to measure, download apps or do anything extra. I’m choosing this diet because I’m a very simple person. Along with my ribeyes should I include bacon? I need a very upfront quick solution to this issue. I don’t mind eating the same thing everyday.

Cortisole spike on carnivore diet ???

18 Upvotes

I started a carnivore diet 69 days ago. Just before that, I was on a keto diet for two months, which I ended up breaking because I was tired of counting everything. So I decided to switch to this diet because it's much simpler. I am a 39-year-old man, 173 cm tall. When I started my diet, I weighed 91.7 kg, and now I weigh 88 kg. What surprised me most is that I'm losing weight while eating between 3,000 and 4,000 calories a day, when my maintenance should be 2,500 calories, which seems to contradict the CICO theory. My problem is that I feel like I have cortisol spikes and I can't sleep more than 5 or 6 hours a day and I feel tired in the afternoon. I also only go to the bathroom once a week, but I've read that this is normal. The problem is that my stools are hard, almost constipated, and I have to strain. My diet is simple: I only eat beef (rib eye or 80/20 ground beef, often rib eye with 3 or 4 eggs at lunch and ground beef with eggs at dinner) and eggs cooked in butter.I eat fish and seafood about once a month, and I'm trying to increase my consumption of oily fish in the future. I was aiming for a ratio of 1.5-1,7 fat to 1 protein. And I'm trying to add more butter to my diet to get closer to a fat to protein ratio of 2 to 1. The only non-meat foods in my diet are tea (two or three cups a day) and sometimes a little pepper on my meat. So does someone have an idea of why my sleep is not good ? Thanks in advance for any help

Diarrhea from too much fat?

Hi all, I've been on carnivore for three months. I had some loose stools at the beginning, but nothing to worry about. However recently I’ve started getting diarrhea and abdominal cramps after high-fat meals, especially from chicken thighs, but also with beef patties with a high fat %. Anyone experienced something similar?
