So, you’re thinking about going all in. No carbs. No plants. Just meat, salt, water, and results. Welcome to the start of something real.
The
30-day carnivore challenge isn’t a trend. It’s a return to simplicity, strength, and the kind of eating our ancestors thrived on. It’s also the fastest way to find out what happens when you cut the junk and fuel your body with exactly what it was designed to run on.
Here’s what you need to know to get started.
What Is the Carnivore Diet (Strict Version)?
The strict carnivore diet means:
- Animal products only: beef, lamb, pork, fish, eggs, butter, tallow, etc.
- No plants, fruits, vegetables, grains, or sugar
- No seed oils or processed foods
- No cheat days. No exceptions.
NOTE: Drink plenty of water, sprinkle in sea salt, and eat until you’re full. That’s it.
What Are the Benefits?
By the end of your first 30 days, many people report:
- Improved energy and mental clarity
- Better digestion (less bloating, gas, or IBS)
- Clearer skin and reduced inflammation
- Fat loss without calorie counting
- No cravings or blood sugar crashes
- Improved sleep and recovery
- A deeper sense of discipline and control
You’re fueling your body with the most bioavailable nutrients possible. Nothing artificial. Nothing your system has to fight through.
What You Should Be Prepared For
Transitioning to carnivore can feel like a detox from modern life—because it is. Here are a few things to expect:
Week 1–2:
- Fatigue, headaches, brain fog (a.k.a. the "keto flu")
- Possible digestive shifts (loose stools or constipation)
- Intense cravings for carbs or sugar (especially at night)
Week 3–4:
- Stabilized energy
- Less hunger between meals
- Better focus and motivation
- Feeling more grounded, both mentally and physically
Pro tip: Stay hydrated and
don’t be afraid of salt and fat.
How to Succeed in Your First 30 Days
- Keep it simple. Stick to fatty cuts of meat (ribeye, ground beef, eggs, etc.)
- Eat when hungry. No need to count calories or force intermittent fasting.
- Don’t cheat. One bite of carbs or sugar resets your progress.
- Journal it. Track your meals, mood, sleep, and progress.
- Pray and reflect. This is about more than food—it’s about taking back control of your body and your life.
Sample Grocery List
- Ribeye or NY Strip steak
- 80/20 ground beef
- Pasture-raised eggs
- Beef liver or other organ meats
- Wild-caught salmon or sardines
- Butter, tallow, or ghee
- Sea salt or Redmond’s Real Salt
You Were Made For This
The carnivore diet strips away the noise. It removes the distractions. It teaches you to eat with purpose and live with strength.
Consider this your wake up call if you’re feeling tired, bloated, foggy, inflamed, or out of control.
You don’t need another plan. You need a reset.
Give it 30 days. Go all in. And come meet the strongest version of yourself.
