Usually ground beef, which I sear in a hot pan only with salt on the pan surface. Sometimes topped with an egg with runny yolk, and sometimes cheese. Ate until I was quite full, then not hungry for at least 24 hours. Luckily DH did not mind my experiment, and if he wanted to grill a steak, then we did that later, but still earlyish in the day. Highly recommend Maria Emmerich's new book, The Carnivore Cookbook for more prep ideas. It was nice to read from our library, but used only a few of the options there. So carnivore is great for controlling any cravings for most anything. I feel great, joint pain better, workouts fine. My biggest diappointment is that I still have weird sleep patterns..going to sleep very early, waking at 2 am. No wine and eating earlier in day did Nothing. at. all. Edit: I will be 69 and my kidneys are fine...but having my annual super-dooper blood work panel on Feb 13th while still carnivore, so we'll see. As others have said, if you do well eating plants, then there is no reason to eliminate them, so I will return to being an omnivore, knowing carnivore is also perfectly OK for me.

Thanks for posting your experience. I would like to try it for a month also.
Reading the dietdoctor article and it's interesting to see Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Georgia Ede, Dr. Ted Naiman, and Dr. Steve Phinney's take on it.
Dr. Naiman's concern was low folate - wouldn't liver counteract that? I try to eat liver every week.
