Diversity is really embraced by society: People can choose to eat only plants. People can identify with many different genders or no gender at all. Females can do hard physical labor. People come in all different shapes, and sizes. But the line is drawn at people who only eat meat. That, apparently, is just too crazy for this world. 😂

My Best Advice, Reflections, and Ideas from Starting and Sticking to a Carnivore Diet 1. Clean Out the Pantry Get rid of all processed foods, grains, sugars, and seed oils. Throw them out! Even if you don't stick with carnivore, those items are best avoided. If you live with others who eat differently, try to agree on certain foods to stop buying and remove them from the house—especially if they are triggering for you. 2. Eat Without Restriction When I started carnivore, I ate whenever I was hungry or felt like eating. This approach helped with cravings, social situations, and adjusting to new habits—like giving up my evening sweet snack. It’s not a good idea to go hungry during this transition. My body was ravenous for nutrients, and I was surprised by how much I could eat. I listened to my body and fed it whenever it asked, as long as the food was carnivore-friendly. It usually takes 3 to 6 months to become fully fat-adapted. Once that happens, hunger signals calm down. I still eat when I’m hungry, but my appetite is now much more stable. 3. Don’t Let Small Things Hold You Back If you’re curious about carnivore and want to heal, give it a try! During my first three weeks, I still drank coffee and occasionally had a small piece of dark chocolate. By the end of that period, I naturally lost interest in those items and stopped. Carnivore often makes it easier to quit non-carnivore foods over time, so don’t let small things stop you from starting. 4. Focus on Fat When I started, I had just had three kids in six years. My body was starving for nutrients and fat. I needed to eat 100-150g of butter daily alongside fatty meat and eggs to feel satisfied. Now, after a year, I eat 80-100g of butter per day. Constipation? You might need more fat. Diarrhea? You could be eating too much fat or consuming too much melted/rendered fat. Try eating solid fats instead. 5. Don’t Skimp on Salt Salt is crucial when starting carnivore. Invest in good unrefined sea salt and salt your food to taste. 6. Be Patient Give carnivore a fair shot—at least 30 days, though 90 days is better. Everyone’s adjustment period is different. For me, it took about 14 days. During that time, I felt very tired, and my joints were so sore I thought I might be getting sick. But then, the fatigue lifted, and my energy improved. From there, things kept getting better! 7. Take Pictures and Measurements Many people try carnivore for health reasons, but weight loss is often a big motivator. Take pictures and measurements (waist, hips, thighs, etc.) when you start. Progress isn’t always obvious on the scale, but your body may still be transforming. 8. Seek Knowledge Understanding nutrition, paleoanthropology, and the healing mechanisms of the carnivore diet helped me make sense of this “crazy” way of eating. It’s also helpful when answering questions from others about fiber, vitamin C, saturated fat, cholesterol, heart disease, and colon cancer. The more informed you are, the more confident you’ll feel. 9. Handle Social Pressure Don’t do this for others—do it for yourself. Starting carnivore is a big change, and friends or family may not understand it. Many people will try to convince you it’s unhealthy. Pleasing others won’t fix your health, and over time, most will see how well you’re thriving and leave you be. Early on, it helps to prepare and communicate in advance that you eat differently now. Bring food everyone can enjoy that also suits your diet. 10. Find Support Seek like-minded people for support. Online communities like the Carnivore Diet group on X or local carnivore meet-ups are great for advice and encouragement. Connect with others going through similar experiences—they can help answer your questions and keep you motivated!
January - World Carnivore Month coming up. Anyone going to try carnivore for the first time?
😱 I Did NOT See This Coming! 😱 I started out super skeptical about the carnivore way of eating, but I’m happy to admit my doubts have been completely put to shame. This journey has been nothing short of amazing!
Here's a side-by-side look at how my skin has changed in the colder season before and after going carnivore. On the left are pictures from before I started carnivore, when I was regularly using steroid creams and heavy, fatty hand creams. This was my skin in the best condition I could achieve at that time. Without the steroid creams, my hands would develop painful, bleeding cracks and be extremely dry. On the right are recent pictures, after almost a year on a carnivore diet. Now, I only use a small amount of beef tallow balm, and I haven't needed steroid creams at all. Some people might not notice much difference, but take a closer look – the improvement is huge, and I couldn’t be happier!
Nitrates are bad for you they say, so avoid processed meat: Veggies: Arugula: Up to 4800 mg/kg Spinach: Up to 3000 mg/kg Beets: Up to 2500 mg/kg Celery: 1100-1500 mg/kg Chinese cabbage: 1200-1600 mg/kg Fennel: Up to 1000 mg/kg Processed meat: Sausages, bacon, and ham 50-150 mg/kg.

This is the new recommendation from the Danish government because Danes eat the most candy in the world. The recommendation is a max of 5 handfuls of candy a day!? What are your thoughts on that? I personally think this is a ridiculous amount of candy every day! A recommendation like this makes people think it's okay to consume this much every day! How did they come up with this and think it's good?
I’m working to restore balance in my body after all the disruption and influence of modern products that we don’t really need. I want to eliminate them as much as possible, so I haven’t washed my hair with soap for almost a month. I’d love to know what you think about that!? 🚫🧼🚫 #nochemicals #balance #carnivore #hair #hairwash #noshampoo
Question: Do you still use any herbs? Or garlic, for example? My answer: I generally don't eat herbs or spices, but once in a while, I’ll have a curry stew that I make for my kids. In the beginning of carnivore, I really didn't tolerate spices well, but that seems to have gotten better. I probably eat spices once or twice a month. Some spices still make me gassy and cause me to burp a lot, which is very unpleasant, so I generally avoid them. 😊 I do enjoy salt. image
If you want to save money 💵 and time🕔, you should buy meat in bulk. You often get better quality for the same amount of money as in the grocery store, or you simply pay less because you buy in larger quantities. You save a lot of time grocery , and as long as you have meat in your freezer, you'll always have a meal on hand. Here is your step-by-step guide on how to buy, pack, and organize your bulk meat purchase: ⤵️⤵️⤵️ 1) Availability: Contact a local beef farmer and find out when the next slaughtering occurs and if they have meat available for purchase. If they can't sell to you this month, make sure to be put on the list for next month. 2) Order: Place your order with the farmer and, if possible, decide which cuts you want ground besides the standard. For example, you might choose cuts like round or sirloin if you don’t like slow-cooked meat. 3) Getting the Most Out of Your Money: Some farmers include a lot of soup bones with your bulk purchase. Bones weigh a lot, so if you're not a fan of broth, check if there's another farmer nearby who sells in bulk without the bones. It might be a bit higher price per pound, but it could be worth it if you don't want to pay for bones you won't use. 4) Freezer Space: Make sure you have enough room in your freezer. From our farmer, we can fit a quarter of a cow, about 90 kg, including soup bones, in our two freezers with a total capacity of around 400 liters. If you don't get the bones, it's easier to pack the meat in the freezer, and it requires less space. 5) Pick Up and Plan Ahead: Pick up your order at the time and place provided by the farmer. If you know how much meat you consume, you can place your next order now, for next month or the month after, so you don't have to go a month without meat in your freezer. 6) Repacking: Bring the meat home and repack it. Some farmers put all the cuts in large bags and boxes, so you’ll need to repack and label it yourself. For an extra fee, some farmers will vacuum pack it for you. If you want to save money, do it yourself. Repacking takes around 45-60 minutes depending on how much meat you receive. The first time might take longer, but you’ll get the hang of it! Make sure to have a big garbagebage ready for the messy bags to be trown into. Also have s few different size ålastic bags ready. I use 4 liter and 8 liter plus a marker or a pen for quick labeling og the bag. 7) Organize in the Freezer: I organize my meat into categories: ground beef, various steaks, roasts, and soup bones + organ meats. I makes it easier to find what you are looking for! 8) Managing a Large Purchase: Every one or two days, check how much meat you have defrosted in the fridge. Plan a few days ahead and take meat out of the freezer accordingly. If your plans change and the fresh meat won’t be eaten that day, sprinkle salt over it and store it on a brine rack in the fridge. 9) Save Money for Next Purchase Buying meat in bulk makes shopping a rare occation but that means that you have to save money each month for next months purchase of meat in bulk.
