carnivore diet - 30 day goal - 08/03/20 11:33 PM
Started it today. Shooting for 30 days. I found that my carb intake was too damn high. I could decrease it but it was challenging especially while on the road living out of a service truck.
I like pizza and tortillas. I love fruits and vegetables. Beans have been my go-to for a long time. Pico, gravy, and melons as well. Those things I will miss. The rest were just fillers.
After a good weekend or weekday of eating whatever I wanted, I found that lifting weights the next day was difficult. I am not putting on muscle as fast as I should be considering the effort and program(s) I do and have worked. Workouts really do start in the kitchen.
The goal is not really weight loss but that will be measured as whatever weight I lose will offset what muscle I gain while continuing to work out.
The good news is, I can eat all the meat I want. I can still have milk, cheese, and some coffee too. The bad news is zero sugar. None.
Day 1
227lbs
eggs (8+)
bacon
breakfast sausage
taco meat (ground beef)
cheese (Colby, cheddar, and Queso Fresco)
I am expected to experience the keto flu and diarrhea soon. Both I can live without especially since I am driving around all day. Will load up some clean up accessories for work tomorrow.

What is the Carnivore Diet?
Let’s start by defining what the carnivore diet is. Simply put, this is a way of eating in which we are eating only animals, no plants. Does this sound crazy? If you’re wondering about fiber, “phytonutrients,” and other things from plants that you might be missing eating this way, I would recommend listening to some of the podcasts I’ve been on where I discuss this at length. This one with Ben Greenfield, and this one Dr. Steven Gundry are particularly popular. For a list of all the podcasts I’ve been on, check here. Once we accept the notion that animal foods represent the best source of nutrients for humans without any plant toxins, we are ready to dive in to what to eat on a carnivore diet. First, however, let’s talk about the safety of the carnivore diet.
