carnivore diet discussion thread

As a New Year's resolution, I want to level up my family's diet. My wife and I both eat a lot of meat and have added raw milk and raw butter, as well as started cooking without seed oils. However, we still eat too much pasta and unnecessary plants that only cows should eat. Do you guys have any good book recommendations on the topic of a carnivore/natural diet for a family? For those here with kids, what do your kids eat?

My youngest eats mostly steak. I didn’t start my oldest early enough so she’s on mostly fiat food. I usually buy whole ribeyes or strip loins if we aren’t eating deer meat. If they are babies you can give them a taste for organ meat but I didn’t know that when mine were young.
 
one man's meat is another man's poison

Hope this does not offend anyone too much but I really dislike chicken and have a certain fear of it. Am I alone with this or are any of you like this as well?

I'm still traveling, but in my regular life I will never buy it and cook it and never order it in a restaurant in any form. Last night the person I am staying with cooked it (again) and out of politeness I was not going to say no. So I ate it, avoiding the scary dark coloured bits around the bones.

Actually the previous time he cooked it, I was somewhat grateful for the protein, hat some large pieces of the white part of the meat. Still however feel negative about both the meat and the animal, although at the moment, free range eggs as an omelet are good for protein. But sometimes I go off eggs as well.

I'm looking forward to being near a steakhouse where I went to a few weeks ago. Remember having some fantastic beef cuts, t-bone one time, sirloin another. Extremely good.

Even duck meat is way preferable to chicken, I have both rarely but duck more often.

There is a book titled Eat right for your type. I don't read that sort of pop health book but the title does suggest that some of us have certain foods they should focus on rather than others. I observe that for other foods and beverages but maybe some of us are just not meant to eat chicken.

When people ask me any food allergies? I usually either say nothing or say - yes, no vegan products such as soy or tofu. There was a time when I used to mention the chicken thing, and after eating it a few times in an unplanned way I almost feel the need to go back to that. There are a number of game meats I'll happily eat that other people are scared of, eg wild pig.

Not sure if anyone can relate but if they could I'd feel less of an outlier on this.
 
I don't hate chicken but haven't made it in a long time. I don't see the point when beef tastes better, is healthier and even has lean cuts if that's what you want. I always regretted not just cooking beef whenever I was still making chicken. But I will eat it if someone else makes it.

The same thing happened with pork. Red meat is best.

In college I would eat much more beef, as ground beef was regularly about $1/lb. Once I started having a family, my income did not keep up with beef prices and it was more pork and chicken - which are very boring and flavorless, unless you add a bunch of stuff. Now that I have more money, I eat beef and venison.

I think it also depends a lot on the quality of the chciken. If you buy smaller sized organic free range chickens and roast them or cook them with the right seasonings they are quite tasty. But yes the low cost mass produced chicken is pretty bland.

When I was in Peru the chicken shops selling Pollo A La Brassa did delicious roast chicken (and very affordable).

Also if you go to 3rd world countries where chickens are somewhat more natural on average the taste is better also.

Also a good chicken burger made by a Portuguese style chicken shop which uses there own house made marinades is often delicious.

I eat beef a lot more than chicken but still enjoy chicken from time to time if its good quality and well prepared.
 
Yes decent chicken can be hard to find but it's still often very bland. Nandos is excellent, but ultimatly it relies on the Peri Peri sauce and cooking technique. Other places deep fry Chicken in oil. It comes back to simplicity. You simply don't need to do any of that with a great steak, and even Lamb or Pork same thing. That should tell you something.
 
Do any of you eat those supplements that are beef organ and/or marrow? What about beef testicles? Many of those are expensive but they are probably higher quality supplements than most that people take.

Haven’t tried them. Marrow bones are fairly cheap and beef liver is cheap if I run out of deer liver. The reviews on the Heart and Soil supplements are good though.
 
Jury is back in boys. Carnivore is popular because it works! A few more days and I gotta say goodbye to meat given my faith. I believe the reason it works is because meat is filling. Think about how many calories are in boiled eggs and how many boiled eggs one can reasonably eat before feeling full. Protein makes you eat less vs low protein and low fat makes you eat more. This is why sweets and snacky foods are such a disaster. They’re high calories and sugar bombs vs protein and fat laden foods. I lost like 10 lbs on less than 30 days of strict carnivore!

I think when lent is over I’m going to go to a steak and salad based diet. I’ll probably still feel full after eating a steak, but bringing back salad and certain low carb vegetables and berries and fatty fruits like olives and avocados will probably work just as well as a strict carnivore.
