On the carnivore diet you should only eat meat, salt, and water for best results:
Eat fatty meat until it stops tasting good, and then stop.
Eat any meat or seafood you prefer, makes you feel the best, and that you can afford, but ruminants like beef, lamb, goat and venison are optimal.
The fat is very important as it contains many essential nutrients and is essential for healthy hormones, skin, neurological health, energy, growth, and repair; it is not just a calorie source. Eat the fat!
Eggs are great as long as you tolerate them. If you don’t, it’s often the whites that cause issues so try having just the yolks to see if they work for you.
You can salt your meat to taste, but you don't need to add salt to your water unless for some reason it tastes good and you feel better doing it. Normally just salting to taste gets the job done. You really don’t need much salt and many long term carnivores don’t use salt at all, myself included.
Dairy should be used as a condiment only.
Now, What Not To Eat:
-
My hard rules for myself and those who want to optimize their health are:
1) No plants or fungi,
2) No sugar or any sweeteners,
3) Nothing artificial.
These rules apply to sauces, seasonings, and drinks as well.
- No plant oils eg. canola oil, sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, soybean oil or even olive oil
- Seasonings, spices, bread crumbs etc.
- Legumes, grains, vegetables, seeds, nuts etc.
- Fruit and honey (sorry Dr. Saladino).
- Sweeteners.
- Coffee & tea.
- Sauces and marinades.
- Anything derived from or containing plants

I am 66 yrs. I have been taking about 15-16 vitamins/supplements since 2020. Trying to guard my body from any viruses out there. Quit getting vaxes in 2018 & never got covid. However I take: Quercetin, NAC, VC, VD3, zinc, K7, calcium, magnesium, curcumin, Q10, omega 1280, VB, & my Allegra Allergy pill(take daily for several years to keep from sinus infection & bronchitis – issues from all seasonal allergies)
My question….. being on a carnivore diet, is there any of the above I can or need to eliminate and still have good immune system to stay healthy?
What about mixing some of the not to eat with the food to eat? I love raw dairy, fruit, coffee and tea, but want to go carnivore. Can we work around it? What about sourdough bread?
I have alopecia totalis, for over 20 years. I also have the MTHFR gene mutation A1298C homogeneous. I have been dabbling in carnivore. Have you ever seen this diet improve or even fix either of these conditions? Many Thanks – Tobie
