My 6-Month Carnivore Diet: The Rules, the Routine, and the Why

As of May 5, 2025, I’ve started a strict six-month carnivore diet. That means no plants, no processed foods, and no compromises—just meat, eggs, and a few carefully selected supplements and seasonings to keep me fueled and performing at my best.

This post outlines the exact rules I’ll be following, what I’m allowing, and how I’m supporting my body through training and supplementation. I’ll also be documenting my experience daily on this blog, tracking my weight, how I feel, and what I ate. Whether you're curious about the carnivore diet or just want to follow along on my experiment, here's what the next 180 days will look like.

The Diet Rules

What I am eating:

• Animal meat only – beef, pork, chicken, lamb, fish, organ meats, etc.

• Eggs .

• Seasonings – natural, sugar-free spices and herbs, used in moderation.

• Hot sauce – I can’t live without it

What I’m not eating:

• No plants – that means no fruits, vegetables, grains, or legumes.

• No dairy – unless I make an exception later (but for now, it’s out).

• No processed foods – if it didn’t come from an animal, it’s not on the plate.

• No seed oils, added sugars, or artificial sweeteners.

Supplement Routine

To support my performance and prevent deficiencies, here’s what I’m taking daily:

• Electrolyte powder – includes both magnesium and potassium to maintain hydration and muscle function.

• Creatine monohydrate – 5 grams per day to support strength and recovery.

• Beta-alanine – 3 grams per day to help improve endurance and reduce fatigue.

• Beef Organ Supplements - 600mg/day of Grassfed Beef Organ Complex

Training Plan

This diet isn’t just about what I eat—it’s about how I train. I’ll be working out 3 to 5 times per week, alternating between:

• Weightlifting – strength and hypertrophy-focused sessions.

• Running – a mix of distance and intervals to keep my cardiovascular health sharp.

The goal here is performance, not just aesthetics. I want to see how this way of eating impacts strength, endurance, recovery, and overall mental clarity.

Bloodwork

To track my health, I will be getting bloodwork done at month 6. This will give me a detailed view of how the diet is affecting my markers for cholesterol, liver function, and other important health indicators.

Why I’m Doing This

The carnivore diet is controversial—but that’s exactly why I’m interested in trying it for myself. I want firsthand data on how it affects energy levels, body composition, mood, and performance.

I’m not here to make medical claims or convert anyone. This is a personal experiment, and I’ll be logging my experience along the way. I’ll be transparent about both the ups and the downs.

Follow Along

I’ll be posting weekly updates on this blog, tracking my weight, how I feel, and what I ate. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the highs and lows of following a carnivore diet.
