Diary of a carnivore
Day 0: Feeling angry 😡 and shocked 🤯 because my husband suggests I should try carnivore.
Day 3: I decide to give it a try.
Day 8: Discovering that the veggies I thought I would miss don’t taste that great after all. 🫑🥬
Day 10: Surprised by how much I
Doc: I can see from the MRI scan that you have early-onset osteoarthritis, likely from your previous surgery. That’s what’s causing the pain in your knee.
Me: 😳 Oh... is there something that can be done?
Doc: I can "clean up" the knee with a small surgery.
Me: Will it help
Preparing carnivore and animal-based lunches for a 1-year-old, 3-year-old, 5-year-old, and a 35-year-old 😊.
Real food is real food, no matter the age.
How old are you, and what's in your lunch?
Things I had to unlearn:
- Fiber is essential.
- Cholesterol is bad for you.
- Saturated fat is dangerous.
- Red meat causes cancer.
- Variety is the only way to get all necessary nutrients.
- 5 meals a day is optimal for stable blood sugar levels.
What else do I need to add?
Babies instinctively know what they are meant to eat 🥦 vs. 🥩.
All this nonsense about babies having to learn to like their food is just not true!
No other animal on earth has to learn to like what they are supposed to eat. You don't see tiger cubs gagging over raw meat or
7 months ago, I thought I was a healthy person who felt as good as I could feel.
However, after 7 months of only eating animal products, my perspective has changed because now I no longer have:
- Knee pain and chronically sore abs
- Seasonal allergies
- Overthinking tendencies
-
Me: I've switched to a diet focused solely on animal products.
Doc: So, no vegetables or fruit?
Me: Nope, and surprisingly, I've never felt better.
Doc: But where do you get your vitamins and minerals from?
Me: Meat and eggs.
Doc: 😳
Friend: I have been eating a ketogenic diet and I feel great, but my doctor found high cholesterol in my blood work. Should I be worried?
Husband: I really don't think you should worry about it. You are lean and otherwise metabolically healthy based on the bloodwork.
Friend: My
In Denmark it is normal to sell food directly from the small farmer to the costumer. In the summer time you will see many small roadshops with selfservice based on mutual trust. Here we are buying eggs 🥚
How is the culture around buying food from small farmers where you live?
6 months on carnivore!
I have never felt more at peace with my body and mind – I feel great and happy.
However, I have never received more critical and concerned questions and comments about my health and well-being.
It feels very strange.
Can you relate?
Today we picked up a lot of beautiful freerange beef from a local farmer. We got 138lbs for $6.5 per lbs. We live in Denmark where food prices are high, so we saved quite a bit this way. What is the price of beef in your country?
My breakfast is getting smaller. I just can't eat as much anymore 😊
The left pic is from the beginning of my carnivore journey. The right one is after 6 months. Have you noticed the same happening for you?
Me: I'm expecting my vision to have improved. It feels like it.
Optician: 🤨 Why do you think that?
Me: I changed my diet.
Optician: Let me guess. You went plant-based?
The expression on her face was priceless when I told her what I eat 🥩🥚🥓🧈
After 2 years of keto:
Optician: No, this can’t be right.
Me: What? Is everything okay?
Optician: Your sight has improved by -0.5. It must be a measuring error.
At my follow-up, I found out that he changed the numbers in my file so that the ‘measuring error’ was gone.
This would have been impossible without sharp pain and swelling in my right knee five months ago. Carnivore healed my osteoarthritis, and I still can't believe that I can just do things like that. I am over the moon!
First lunch at work as a carnivore:
Me: Opening a bag of pork rinds in the breakroom.
Colleague: Okay!? Really? Now? 🫢
Me: Yes, you know it's because I've started eating in a new way...
Colleague: What way is that? 😳
Me: 🥩🍗🥓🥚🧈
Colleague: 😱.... Wow, that's crazy!
Me: It seems I got my allergy symptoms a lot earlier this year. I think I might be allergic to more types of pollen now?
Doc : It sounds like it. You will just have to start medication earlier then.💊
Me: That sucks.
Doc: Yes, but we know that people can get more allergies
2000 of you, my steak-loving friends, are following along! 🎉🥩 Thanks for joining me on this journey. Your support means the world! Can't wait to keep sharing the carnivore love with all of you!
My husband and I have decided to focus on providing our kids with more carnivore/animal-based lunches. They're offered some plant-based options at their kindergartens and schools, so it requires some discussion and explanation with the staff to make it possible for our kids to

Thanks, Carnivore 🥩🍳🧈
❤️ Love you ❤️
Left pic from September 23 (pre-carnivore) vs. right now (4 months carnivore). Noticed a subtle change. Do you take progress pics with dietary changes?
Carnivore cured chronic pain for this guy (carnivorevitality).
It has helped me with my osteoarthritis knee pain.
I have heard of so many people improving different pain symptoms with this way of eating 🥩🥩🥩
Are you one of them too?
I am going on a small trip this weekend, so last night I put some meat in the oven on low heat and dried it overnight. Now it is ready to bring and eat with delicious butter later today or tomorrow. Dried meat, yay or nay?
Friend: Tonight I am having chicken breast for dinner. It's a bit boring, so I was thinking of having rice with it. Do you think rice is healthy?
Me: ...😬... Do you really want my honest opinion?
Friend: Yes, of course.
Me: I think nothing is more healthy and nutritious than
I ate for fun.
I ate for comfort.
I ate because of hunger.
I ate because of sadness and disappointment.
Now I eat for nourishment, and it is in a weird way a great relief not to eat for all the other reasons.

People with higher LDL levels tend to die less often.
Headed to France with my family for a month! 🇫🇷 Super psyched! I am going to share all our carnivore food finds.
Any recommendations for must-try carnivore dishes in France?
Don’t do the carnivore diet if you want to avoid these side effects:
- Better mood
- More energy
- Better body composition
- Better skin, hair, and nails
- Higher libido
- Fewer farts
Early morning train ride on my way to my first day back at work after being away for one year and two weeks. Feeling a bit sad not to see my youngest child all day. I hope I can remember how to do my job! 😅 Wish me luck!

Can all the carnivore fanboys please shut up?!
Sure I could:

Prevent cancer
Get off meds
Heal autoimune disease
Gain muscle
Have a stable mood and tons of energy
Sleep better
Look younger
Have a good libido
It is to big a sacrefice to only eat meat!

Celebrated my 6-month carniversary with this delivery of organic, grass-fed and finished beef, and pasture-raised eggs from a Danish farmer. 🥩 Around 50 kg of beef, including beef bacon. I am one happy woman! 🎉🥳
This time of year, I used to feel horrible. Intense birch allergy 🌳 used to literally make me ill. I used to take eye drops, nasal spray, and antihistamines 💊 every day during allergy season. My symptoms have significantly reduced. I only experience mild symptoms if I consume
Worried friend 😱: Aren't you afraid of high cholesterol and heart disease? Don't you get constipated without fiber? You'll get vitamin and mineral deficiencies! Isn't it bad for kids with little to no carbs? Won't it affect their development negatively?
Me: Nope 🤗
More dried beef is ready for this week's quick lunches. So easy to make and mess-free to eat at work, unless you do like me and eat them with 1/5 inch of butter on. 🧈
Having dinner with some of my family who've also embraced the carnivore lifestyle. It's been great - good food, good company, and nobody thinks we're too weird! We had such a good time, and the food was delicious: lamb leg, chicken, and small meatballs for the kids. 🥳
I love dried meat with butter. It's so easy and quick to bring when I am on the go! For me, the butter on this one is just the right amount. 🧈
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you see this?

I have just visited London, and I realize that I have lots to learn about traveling while being carnivore. It wasn't as easy as I had hoped, and saying 'I only eat animal products' got me far but not quit there. I did get this beautiful breakfast tho with eggs from pastured
Easy carnivore pancakes:
3 eggs
1 big tablespoon of creamcheese
3 tablespoons of beef collagen
Butter for the pan
Super delicious even though it didn't come out perfect 🤤🥞
Finally I have found pastureraised eggs in Denmark, from a farmer with a fair price. 35kr for 10 eggs. That is about 0.41 usd pr egg. 🥚
How much does a pastureraised egg cost where you live?

First 24 Hours Fast
12 am: Had my last meal of the day, yesterday.
7 pm: Not hungry, but it feels like my mind is reminding me that it is dinner time.
10 am: A little bit hungry. It went away pretty quickly.
12.30 pm: Broke my fast with this amazing meal! Success! 🎉
Mother A: "I just use instant porridge for my baby because it's quick and easy."
Mother B: "Then you don't have to worry about whether she's getting enough vitamins and minerals because they're all added in."
Me: 😱 trying to keep a straight face while thinking..

Ketovore lunches for the kids:
- Beef
- Butter
- Strawberries from the garden
- Small fried eggs
- Carnivore flatbread with pâté
- Good quality 100% meat and herbs sausage
- Pork rinds
- Cheese stick
Do you have other good ideas?
Eating different veggies is good for you, right? 🥔🥕🥦
Good for what?
A big variety of nutrients?
Sure, there are some nutrients in veggies, but they come along with numerous plant toxins, antinutrients, fiber that blocks absorption of nutrition, and less bioavailable forms
WHAT? 😱 I wake up to find that my post showing a video of the meat that we bought from a local farmer is marked as containing content that can be offensive and therefor is not shown! Meat is not offensive! It is normal, good and healthy food and it is not allowed on X? Is it

We are soon celebrating a birthday in our house, so I made a repeat of this huge success ice cream.
- 2 cups heavy cream (38%)
- 1 cup crème fraîche (38%)

- 3 big tablespoons allulose
- 1 vanilla pod
1. Whisk the heavy cream, allulose, and vanilla seeds in a bowl
Making coleslaw for some of my family members who are not carnivores. I've already cut my finger twice. I really don't enjoy preparing or eating veggies. Do you miss eating veggies?
Breakfast today was two pieces of dried meat with a generous spread of butter, 4 eggs, and some bacon. I am trying to get more fat so I get less hungry during the day. What is your fat favorite?
I saw a TV program about losing weight on the Danish public service broadcasting station.
The expert doctor talked about lowering "bad" cholesterol!
Oh my lord! 😱 Don't they have an obligation to actually spread correct information!? It is embarrassing that they are so far
I need to get a good sharpener for my knives. 🔪 This one, in particular, is terribly dull! 😮💨 And it is just not good enough for this beautifull Bavette! 🥩
Does anyone have recommendations for a great knife sharpener? 🤔
Weight is not everything ⚖️
Initially, I lost about 8 pounds on the carnivore diet. Although I gained some of it back, I've also experienced improvements in my osteoarthritis, allergies, eczema, eyes, and mood. I feel better and healthier than ever, and I'm content with my body.
