3 Carnivore Diet Plans to Get You Started on Your Journey to Better Health

 Disclaimer: 

I want to make sure this is clear before you get started.  I am NOT claiming to be a certified expert on anything relating to nutrition, medicine, or diet.  I am only speaking from the experience and research of a layman who does at least have a bachelor's degree in research and writing.  Anything I talk about here are things I am certain of for my own purposes, but due to legality I cannot recommend that you do anything that contradicts the recommendations of your physician, or other medical porofessionals including nurses, certified naturopaths, certified nutritionists, and/or anyone else certified by some government regulated bureaucratic entity.  All advice I offer is my my opinon based on my own research and experience.

​

Introduction:

Though I have personally found the 'just eat ruminant meat, water, and salt' plan easy to adhere to, I have learned that many people will need a little more planning to make the transition to a carnivore lifestyle.  This became most apparant to me when discussing the benefits of a carnivore diet with my own 84-year old mother. I realized that a plan like this would give her a roadmap to success that would help her overcome the neverending deluge of misinformation that permeates modern society as a result of the influences of big government, big food, and big pharma. I found the Lion Diet to be the best plan for my success, but I have worked with many people who have found success on other forms of a carnivore diet so I am puting these three options together based both on my experience on a carnivore way of eating, and things I have learned from others I have met and spoken to on my journey.  My hope is that armed with one of these plans, you can begin your journey to better health able to wake up every day with a clear meal plan, knowing what to eat, how to prepare it, and maintain consistency as you move closer to your goal. As the plan becomes a habit, you will be better prepared to adjust your own diet plan as you begin to feel the benefits of the lifestyle change you're about to make.

​

The following information applies to ALL of the three diet options listed below and should be considered required reading before progressing on to the diet plans:

​

Sprays and oils: People often use a variety of sprays and/or oils so their meats won't get stuck to the cooking surface.  Nearly ALL of these sprays and oils are vegetable based or worse made with a variety of seed oils including canola oil, sunflower oil, and others. Contrary to popular belief, these seed oils are NOT healthy to consume.  Nearly everything we have been told about the healthy nature of vegetable oils (seed oils) over the past 75 years has been influenced heavily by the corporations who are looking to profit off of the sale of seed oils.  This conflict of interest is the primary reason most people's notion of nutrition is the exact opposite of the truth.  In nearly every case one can substitute a variety of animal fats for the purpose of preventing the meat from sticking to a cooking service, and unless you're cooking on cast iron or stainless steel usually nothing is needed for this purpose.  

​

Processed Meats often have other ingredients that are counterproductive to your goals, so limiting processed meats is highly recommended, but at the very least check the ingredients for additives, synthetics, seed-oils, natural or artificial flavors, dyes, and especially sugars including high-fructose corn syrup and pretty much anything ending with -ose, such as sucrose, dextrose, etc.

​

Drinks: Be sure to check ingredients on any store-bought items.  Ingredients such as natural flavors, artificial flavors, zests, essences, citric acid, sugars, artificial flavors, and dyes can have a number of negative effects on your goals including inflammatory responses, the proliferation of bad gut bacteria, unnecessary insulin production, or stronger cravings for other foods and/or drinks that will derail your progress altogether. ​​

​

Butter: Many people are so sensitive to dairy products that even butter must be excluded from their diet in order to deal with problems that are related to allergies or inflammatory respionses, but if you're lucky enough to be one of the people who does not experience negative results from consuming butter, the following information is crucial to know.  The word "butter" should refer to actual butter, i.e. heavy cream churned into milk solids with the buttermilk removed and the final product may or may not include salt; however, too many people also include vegetable oils, spreads, and margarine as "butter" when these things are anything but butter.  This is extremly problematic when eating out because so few people are trained to know the difference or even care to know the difference.  You could ask the waiter or cook if they are using real butter when preparing your eggs, and the idea that they're scooping out a ladel full of canola oil onto the griddle before cooking your eggs does not even occur to them.    

​

Cheese: 

​

Eggs: Many people are sensetive to certain aspects of eggs that may at the very least lead to digestive difficulty if not allergic reactions.  If you're luck enough to be one of the people who do not have this issue there is one more thing you should know about eggs with regard to eating out.  Many restaurants do not use actual eggs in the shell when preparing omlets, scrambled eggs, or any variation of prepared eggs where the yolk is not visible discernible.  Many restaurants rather use eggs that have been removed from their shell already and come in a carton like milk and cream come in.  The problem with these "liquid egg" products is they almost always include manufactured citric acid (MCA) for a number of reasons that wouldn't matter if fresh eggs were used instead.  The problem with MCA is that it is not derived from citrus fruits as one might guess, but rather MCA is derived from a black mold know as Aspergillis Niger which is well known to have a highly inflamatory effect when consumed by mammals.  Reducing inflammation is one of the key things a carnivore diet is meant to achieve for people.  Since consuming citric acid will likely increase your inflammatory response, you might wonder why you're not feeling as good as many carnivores claim to feel.  

​

The Value of an Elimination Diet: If you're not certain that dairy, eggs, or even butter are a problem for you, the best place to start is with a diet that eliminates these things...
