I don't know who is the target audience of these diet articles but I want to write down my current diet as it's working very well for me.
Simply I alternate every other day between:
- pure carnivore
- carnivore + fruit & veg
This essentially means having a 36hour carb fast every other day.
Carnivore day
There's not much to say about carnivore as it's a well documented diet. Essentially it's a zero-fibre diet where you only eat meat and dairy.
What I will say is that, although dairy is allowed on carnivore diet, I don't have any beyond the full-fat milk in my tea and coffee.
Fruit + Veg
On the day I do fruit + veg, I just eat the same stuff I eat on carnivore, with the following additions:
- yoghurt and berries with breakfast
- low-starch vegetables with dinner
I just reduce the quantity of meat slightly for my breakfast to compensate for the calories from the yoghurt and berries.
I rotate the vegetables for variety:
- broccoli
- cabbage
- courgette & peppers
- radishes & cucumber
- sauerkraut & celery
- asparagus
Portions of fruit and veg should be small as it's just enough to get a bit of fibre and nutrients.
Advantages
On this diet you will be lean and strong with no heartburn or flatulance.
This diet is great for your teeth as you eat almost zero sugar.
I've been doing this diet for 2 months and similar diets for over a year and this is the best.
Another good thing is to do cardio in the morning before breakfast to teach your body to produce energy with an empty stomach.
Eating out
When having to eat normal food, for example getting breakfast or lunch in town, I think it's best to follow the "when in Rome" principle.
This is because you honestly can't get carnivore food while out unless you go to a restaurant and get a steak.
Sometimes I even get the vegan option because it doesn't have much less meat than the meat option.
Seriously even if you buy a meat pie it's got more potato and pastry in it than meat, and the meat is really overcooked so the proteins are denatured.
So better to just enjoy the sort of food they do well for example a cheese and tomato toastie is fine.
Don't buy anything with sugar as these are disgusting and they use all the sugar and chocolate to mask the bad taste of the shit ingredients.
