30-Day Carnivore Diet Meal Plan

Embarking on the carnivore diet can be life-changing, but without a plan, it can also feel overwhelming. This 30-day meal plan is designed to guide you through your first month, making it easier to stick with the diet and see incredible results.

What Is the Carnivore Diet?

The carnivore diet is a way of eating that focuses exclusively on animal-based foods like meat, fish, eggs, and some dairy. It eliminates plant-based foods such as vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes, making it a zero-carb or ultra-low-carb diet.

Benefits of the carnivore diet include:

• Improved mental clarity
• Enhanced energy levels
• Weight loss
• Reduced inflammation

How to Use This Meal Plan

1. Stick to Simplicity: Don’t overthink recipes. Focus on whole, nutrient-dense animal products.
2. Prep Ahead: Meal prepping ensures you’re never caught without carnivore-friendly options.
3. Hydrate Well: Drink plenty of water and consider adding electrolytes to avoid dehydration.
