My wife and I want to switch to carnivore. Any tips to making it work?
With yourself? Just try it for 30 days and see. DYOR!
If your wife wants to…easy.
After 30 days I felt better than I did as a young man, higher drive at everything. Clear thinking….it sounds like baloney, I know, so just see for yourself

My staples are whole ribeyes that I cut to about 2” thick, good ground beef, venison. About 1.5 to 2lbs of red meat per day, 4 oz of liver. (I weigh 150 lbs). Sometimes bone broth, eggs, cheese. Liver is best rare, biggest mistake is overcooking it, but I’ve eaten it raw as well (deer liver anyway, not grocery store).
High fat is key. Get fatty cuts at least 80/20 ground beef and eat all fat on the ribeye. About 60-70% calories from fat, the rest protein. You can get by on 1 meal a day, and even skip a day with no hunger. Been carnivore almost 3 years.

This is fascinating. When do you usually have your meal then?

If I have to work afternoon I will eat about 9-10am, if I work morning I will eat around 4pm.
If I don’t have to work sometimes I’ll have a morning and evening meal. I never bring lunch to work, if I’ve had enough fat I will not feel hungry all day. I will start to feel hungry after the 30-35 hr mark if I’ve skipped a day (not on purpose, just out somewhere where I don’t have red meat available.)
Before carnivore I just thought I had a high metabolism, constantly snacking or I felt hungry. I couldn’t function without eating all day long. Carnivore really frees up your time and lets you focus on doing fun stuff instead of worrying about food constantly.
