You know how with vegetables & fruits people say to eat a variety, like "colors of the rainbow"? Would the carnivore version of that be eating from a variety of species?
Yesterday I had ground beef for lunch, salmon for dinner, and salami for a snack!
Yes. I believe so.
I think my taste buds have done some changing. My cricket shake-up tasted a little like chocolate.

Yeah. kirkor told me to make "huevos con grillos" with them and that was NASTY.
Drinking them isn't bad at all. And my body seems to agree with it.

I thought I took some weird stuff.1 -
Anyone else taking measurements and stuff? I did this morning so I know where I sit later.0

I phased in a few days early and was full carnivore starting on April 30 with one exception. I have some canned sardines in EVOO. I figured that little bit won't hurt. It is kind of like seasoning. I will be picking up some more sardines in water so I can have those through the rest of the month.
As for variety, in addition to sardines, I have had eggs, pastured lamb, ground beef a couple of ways, salami and salmon so far.
Sprouts recently had grass fed ground beef on sale for $3.99/lb, so I stocked up. Last night, i took one package (1.45 lbs - if my math is correct that is 23.2 oz) and made a pretty massive and tasty burger. Just beef and some seasoning - mostly SPG (salt, pepper & garlic powder). It was delish. It took up the entire pan when cooking it. The only down side was it splattered a bit when I flipped it so some of the grease was lost. I did pour the remaining grease on the burger after plating it. Fortunately, my wife and daughter are now used to seeing me like the grease off my plate when I'm done.
I know cheese should be ok, but I am using this as an elimination diet time to see what affects my BG, so the only dairy I am using is ghee since even those with extreme dairy sensitivities can frequently have it. I am already missing my cheese, glorious cheese.1 -

The only thing I am tracking is BG. I do still weigh every morning, but I am already at goal there, so it is more just to make sure I stay there. Of the seven deadly sins, gluttony is the one where I struggle. I always took "all you can eat" as a challenge.2 -

I'm just checking ketones and blood sugar on Saturday mornings to keep up with my nerdery in that department.
No goal for weight loss (and I don't weigh & measure anymore) ~ but I did take a nice bloated gut picture the day I decided I needed to do carnivore, and I think I'll have a nice side-by-side at the end of May. My abs are showing up again, and I like it.

@cricketpower, I wondered if your name had any foodstuff connections... I am a fan of crickets, but have never used the flour... I prefer mine mixed with other stuff like seeds and some buckwheat and better flavours .

LOL -- don't let it happen again!
Yep. You got my name figured out before I even posted about it.
I haven't tried any of the cricket products ... there are approximately 1 million things I don't (or can't) eat, so it's just water & crickets for me. I'm sure they've made some amazing things with it. The flavor really isn't bad. The bag came with a recipe e-book. They add it to pretty much everything.
It does smell exactly like a canister of fish food when you first open it. I mean, exactly.0 -
Keeping up with kirkor's "variety" theme ~ I'm eating bison.
Yes, I know. I know it's boring, and it looks like beef. But it's not. It's BISON!

Today’s meal. Along with meaty May, I’ve integrated my old routine of one meal per day. So far, so good. Down 3 pounds in 2 days.2

Pretty sure we can't buy crickets in New Zealand lol very bizarre!0

Rise up, entomophagists of the world!! Over 2 billion of us according to a fairly recent article.
BTW, hubby and I had bison burgers at a local gourmet burger place in our town on Tuesday. With goat cheese (in a lettuce wrap for me because I have celiac disease). It's my favorite burger there. Bison is delicious.1 -
Salmon last night, and salmon today. If it makes me feel good, it's going to stay!
