  • Practical Tips for Beginners
    Commit to a time period (such as 30 days) to allow your body to adapt[4]. Let hunger and satiety guide your portions; most find they are less hungry when eating nutrient-dense animal foods including organ meats[6]. Avoid over-complicating your plan—repeating staple meals (like steak and eggs) is common and effective[3].
  • Customization
    Adjust protein and fat based on your goals. For weight loss, emphasize higher protein and limit dairy[6]. For athletic performance, favor fattier cuts of meat. Organ meats and bone broth add micronutrients.[5]

Most importantly, the carnivore diet revolves around consistency and simplicity: animal foods at each meal and water for hydration[3][7].
