Getting Started With Carnivore Diet

The carnivore diet consists of meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs with no vegetables, fruit, or other plant-based foods. It sometimes also contains full-fat dairy products such as butter or heavy cream.

This diet is good for those who want to lose body fat without feeling hungry all the time. People with type 2 diabetes have also reported major improvements on the carnivore diet. The carnivore diet is a kind of elimination diet because it avoids foods that might cause inflammation or autoimmune reactions.

The carnivore diet is a very low carbohydrate diet, which can help your body transition to burning fats for fuel. This can make your body burn fats instead of carbs, which they call being “fat-adapted.” If you choose fatty cuts of meat such as ribeye steaks, or add some butter to lean cuts, the carnivore diet can be a ketogenic diet. In this mode, your body turns fats into ketones for fuel, and that’s called being “keto-adapted.”
