Ok, I'm actually trying out carnivore right now. Well not 100% but about 97% maybe, assuming you count all animal products. I started out with strictly bacon and eggs, as I do love bacon and eggs. I've only been doing this about a week or less so far. Several days of bacon and eggs. Then I went and bought a 1/4 pound of liverwurst from the deli as I do like to have some liver every now and then. I do love sauteed chicken livers too but obviously eating a little liverwurst is a lot faster
I do buy grassfed ground beef so have that too - last night and today. That's where the "nearly" carnivore comes in. I'm not super crazy about beef in general, but last night I sauteed a bunch into crumbles in a frying pan, just a little added salt. Then I put it in a bowl with some melted butter and a couple tsp of a pumpkin sauce I bought at the local health food market. It was delicious!
This morning it was more sauteed ground beef again with butter and some pumpkin sauce. I would probably add a little tomato sauce also to make the meat taste edible to me. Just now I finished up the last of the pound of ground beef, cooked in a pan as a hamburger this time, topped with bacon strips and some cheese. I took a corned beef out of my freezer which I will cook up in my Instant Pot for St. Paddy's Day. No steak as I'm not fond of steak so that would spoil the diet for me, though occasionally I'll have a steak in a restaurant, but no interest in cooking at home.
Still too soon to see how this will work for me but so far the scale is down a few pounds, and my BP and BG are both trending downward. I'm enjoying not having to think about veggies. But generally when I get this strict I end up having intense cravings after a month or so, and want to fall face down into a hot fudge sundae. So taking it day by day.
