54 Gone Carnivore

06/03/2023

As a kid I was brought up on bacon and eggs cooked in lard, almost every day for breakfast. Pinched everyone's fatty bacon. Ate the fattiest lamb chops. Ate only bananas and that wasn't often. Little vegetables. Went no 2 s once or twice a week.
Prefered eating slices of butter to sweets. All our meets were cooked in lard/dripping of some kind. Mum made "sulse " which was bits of left over pork mixed with pigs snout, trotters or tails set in gelatin. Drank very little water. I WASNT overweight, constipated or unwell. Who knew I was doing it right!

Had this question on eating out or in social situations: Everyone wants to get pizza! I dont want to be left out or draw attention to myself, what can I eat?
If you have an option- eat before hand. If not get one that's meat or seafood loaded. Add an egg. Use the pizza slice as your plate. Eat the cheese, meat or seafood toppings! Simple , think outside the box... do the best you can with what is available! ***Dont let yourself fall into the mindset of you cant now socialise or be in these situations. As for what others will think ? Well firstly who cares! You ve decided to make your health a priority. When was the last time you saw someone call someone out for not eating the crust?? No one questions when someone orders a gluten free pizza base these days or says they cant have a certain topping because they have an intolerance . So stand in your power 🥓🥩🧀🍗🥚🦐

Anonymous followers ask:

I can't eat eggs as I'm allergic?
Firstly, thanks for the great question. Yes, from what I've learnt so far on carnivore a lot of people have an intolerance to eggs, Thats ok YOU DONT have to eat them it's just an option. The majority seem to be unable to eat the whites mainly. Carnivore 100% also known as the Lion Diet is basically an elimination diet and starting point to heal your body and try and re set it to its optimal level of health. Many people re introduce things one at a time like eggs and gauge if they have any reactons to them. FUN FACT: did you know that pre historic man actually didn't eat eggs or birds? Basically, as they were too fast to catch for little return in meat, The slower animals like wooly mammoths were easier to stalk and hunt and provided an abundance of meat.

I've had my gall bladder taken out, if I eat high fat I suffer from it for a couple of days...
I too have had my gall bladder removed. My IBS was super crazy pre carnivore. The gall bladder is what stores bile and concentrates it. So if you don't eat fat for a number of days or weeks, you'll have more concentrated bile and then emulsify the fat and bring that in. fat is an extremely important nutrient, and we need it. Without a gall bladder you need to be mindful of the fact that you aren't going to have a huge amount of bile at one time, so it is suggested that some people
just need to break up your fatty meals over the day instead of eating then all in one go.

Hope these explanations help.

Sunday 🥩 tip:

Out and about dont think you can keep up carnivore ? Heres some suggestions:

Supermarkets: bbq chicken, deli meat, remember to watch the preservatives! ,boiled eggs (yes they are becoming a thing!), prawns, smoked salmon, smoked fish.

On the road: (most petrol stations now have a fast food attached).
McDonald's patties with cheese if you want, same with Hungry Jack's. Jerky/biltong, bacon and eggs.

*** Did you know McDonald's all over the world have select farmers they buy their beef from? They are constantly monitored to make sure their beef is being fed the best products available. Hence why a maccas burger tastes the same all over the world!

Coffee/Tea

While Coffee and Tea are plant derived drinks, a lot of people (including me) include these during the transition phase, or it is the last "bad" thing they regularly have if not 100% carnivore. It is addictive and hard to kick. Many people find if they are still having pain or not seeing fantastic results on Carnivore then these are the culprits. It is encouraged to eliminate these especially if you continue to suffer from some symptoms or suffer from an autoimmune condition. There is so much immerging evidence to back this.
FUN FACT: You know how you see cops drinking coffee and eating donuts, this all started as they needed to find a way to cope with changing shifts and insomnia.

Not sure if Carnivore is for you?

Here's some things to think about: (Beside the health benefits)

Keto diet (some say the pre carnivore diet way of eating) is a great way to start eliminating carbs and upping your meat intake (Personally I find all the macro counting a put off)- on carnivore you don't count, or measure just eat until you are full, or it doesn't taste good anymore!

Carnivorish or Dirty Carnivore diet - This is a good starting point.
Heavy in animal protein, includes milk cheeses, cream, coffee or tea.
Its currently where I'm at.

Carnivore diet: Animal protein - usually beef fattier the better. Salt, butter, lard or ghee for cooking. You can eat pork, fish, lamb, venison etc but from what I've read the optimal for our body id red meat.

Meat is so expensive:

depends on what you are comparing it with!
If you budget is limited, go for the best meat you can afford. There's nothing wrong with eating mince if you can't afford steak. There's nothing wrong with eating grain fed meat if you can't afford grass fed. When you start eating meat free from preservatives you are already winning and way better off than you were eating before!

$8.00 for a rump steak (coles) or $7.35 for a Big Mac (Brisbane Feb 2023) - I know which one leaves me feeling satisfied and is better for me! Oh and add the extra $$$ if you are ordering thru Uber...

It Takes too long to cook a steak:
7 minutes is all you really need to cook a steak, have you noticed that fast food drive thru isn't as fast as it used to be? and as for ordering Uber the usual deliver time is 15 - 30 mins.
