Cool pic. Anyone gnawing on a big old rib bone is a winner in my book!!
My daughter’s first big food when a tiny tiny kid was a rib. She attacked that thing! Cool he is doing keto!

@Ketodaisy Absolutely! He has gained about 10 lbs in a year since ditching carbs and his brain clarity has definitely improved as well as most behavioral issues. We couldn’t get him to gain weight before that. He weighed about 103 lbs at 24. He’s not a big guy, takes after his mom on that one. She’s about 5’2”. Last time I weight him he was closer to 110 lbs. He’s about 5’6” I think. He’s pretty strong for a little guy, his abs show and he looks healthy, very low body fat. Gotta weigh him again today.
Scott, I’m the world’s second most worst carnivore (that banana eating vegan in South Australia takes the cake, and he can eat it as well). Add salt.
I faced the same work lunch hurdles. My holiday breakfast is cooked eggs and bacon based.
So, this weekend, I’ve been experimenting with making my regular breakfast transportable.
If pork rinds are keto I could easily see myself eating cold steak cooked prior. I like to heavily salt each piece and have some pork rinds with it. another thing I do is cook an extra cheese burger and microwave at the office. This past week I have been taking ham slices and rolling them around some cheese and a pickle slice. Not fully canovoure but then again I haven’t committed yet. Can you have dairy like sour cream or mayo on carovoure?
As far as I know, normal carnivore allows a little bit sour or heavy cream. Personal styles differ. I (who aren’t even a carnivore but have carnivore days) like to avoid lactose but if I really, really need some sour cream, I eat a bit. Once I ate a lot but I was desperate and run out of meat, I don’t consider that “proper” carnivore for me but it’s animal products so I wouldn’t call it definitely not carnivore. But still, lactose, sugar (lactose is sugar but may be even worse than simple sugar, it’s individual. my body isn’t into lots of lactose despite I am not actually lactose intolerant. I just feel it doesn’t like it very much), be careful.
Mayonnaise can be perfectly carnivore. I will make ham fat mayo next week. I really dislike mayonnaise but that’s normal mayonnaise, my ham is super fatty (I will bring another photo, folks, now it’s at least 50% white bacon and it’s not like the rest is lean) so I will render some fat from it. And it’s tasty smoked ham, tasty egg yolk, what could go possibly wrong? Even if you use lemon juice or vinegar, it’s carnivore enough for most of us. Olive oil isn’t carnivore, no idea if certain plant oils are allowed somewhere (I’ve read about coconut oil so it’s okay for someone), I don’t eat them on carnivore, I have nice animal fats and those are PLANT oils, it’s quite clear to me. But olive or coconut oil is surely way less problematic than many other plants.
yes but some won’t. it is one of those small ‘condiments’ of what you will allow. dairy is weird for some but many do well on dairy and keep it. sour cream, yup some use it. regular old mayo with like soybean oil or whatever, yea some eat that in small amts when wanted.
So do condiments as you need if they will make carnivore more easy and good to taste. Just use your personal judgement on it.
I’m down to 201! I’m going in the right direction finally again with carnivore! It’s a bit slow but it’s fine I’m losing again after stalling on keto! I’m super happy. Also I get what the grass fed beef craze is about. I got some on sale for $4 a lb. bought 4 lbs and I’m loving it. I won’t do much as regular beef is $2 a lb but I’m enjoying it none the less!
Nice, @monsterjuice!
What were you stuck at and for how long? Are you pure meat carnivore or do you include dairy?
I’ve been 200-205 for about a year. I wasn’t counting macros, and I would eat off plan at times. Then Christmas I splurged big time and went from 200 to 213. And then right before January I went full carnivore and haven’t looked back. So carnivore has only been about 3-4weeks. And I’m down 12 lbs. I include heavy cream, very small amount of cheese (hardly any just small amount) and butter. Mostly I eat meat and drink water.
Me too! I bought a meat share at a local farm and get 10# beef, pork, lamb per month. It’s about $9.50/lb when I buy 6 months at a time. I’m loving it.
I think I feel my best when doing OMAD. This was proceeded by some fried pork belly and some carnivore “ravioli”.
Do you guys ever have particularly low days of eating? I haven’t ate much today, a omelet with some bacon and burger. And just don’t feel physically hungry. Been that way for a few day’s, I’m still eating but I’m guessing I’m maybe eating a half pound of food atm? Only the last few days but just haven’t had much appetite! I’m usually eating about 1 1/2 - 2lbs.
@monsterjuice. Not me, but I’m already thin so I think my body gets hungry fast because I can’t pull much from “storage”.
Fair enough. I know I have about 60-70 lbs of “reserves”. I just don’t want to go too long eating to low calorie! A few days won’t hurt but my hunger is majorly reduced right now.
@monsterjuice. I wouldn’t worry. Let your body tell you what it wants.
