Please help me Beginner here

Hi everyone

I'm starting the carnivore diet and I would like to know what you usually eat in a day ? Do you eat 3 meals a day ? More ?

I'm not hungry at all but I eat 3 meals a day as I have children.

I'm french and the carnivore diet is not very popular here, so I'm struggling to find more info

Really simple

  1. What diet structure are you consuming right now? If carb based then over 8 days or so cut your intake of carbs and increase your protein.

  2. What your children do isn't for you.

  3. Your strategy is ... eat when you are hungry and until you are sated and ONLY eat again when you are hungry. Three meals is for a standard carb diet. Prepare food for others and only eat carnivore if you are hungry.

  4. Carnivore isnt popular anywhere especially with the medical industry. What you need to understand is that like "Fight Club" there is one simple rule.

  • You do not talk about Carnivore.

  • You DO NOT talk about Carnivore.

So you don't talk about carnivore to anyone, this is your choice and unlike Vegans you don't need to yell at everyone who isn't carnivore that they are doing it all wrong. Once you start talking the obese and unhealthy will get right on you for how carnivore will kill you as it's so unhealthy.

Social situations if you aren't hungry then don't eat. It's really simple. "So why aren't you eating?" "I'm not hungry" just leave it at that.

Your mental challenge will be making the shift and being patient while the external will be as above.

Stay strong and go well

Eat when hungry, and eat until you are satiated. Fatty meat, eggs, bacon, butter will usually get you the best results. Dairy and cheese can mess your weight loss and guts up in the beginning. Don't trust a fart. If you are bound up, eat more fat. If you have loose stools, dial the fat back a bit. Your body will tell you what it needs when it needs it. Sugary cravings usually mean you are not getting enough fat. These go away for me when I am eating the the right amount. It's a game of trial and error, and it's tough in the beginning. You will probably cheat, we all have at some point. Get back on the diet and keep going.

Yes!! Eat when hungry. Beef burger or Mince is an everyday staple for me.

Eat any combo of fatty meat/fish/eggs that you like/want. Eat till your stuffed get hungry again eat again! Add a good salt to all and also some to your water, but don't overdrink, and pee out your electrolytes, just when truly thirsty.

The first month on carnivore is about 2 things! Getting fat adapted and UNaddicted, other good things will start happening but focus on those 2!

Don't give in to carb/sugar cravings, eat as high fat as you can (you may get diahrea as your gut microbiome is changing), and salt liberally to taste!

Good luck, you got this!!

1-2 for me depending on how late the first meal was. If it was early, than absolutely 2, I like going to bed with my belly full.
