Christian Carnivore

“Why not just jump into Carnivore?”

Normally, I’d agree. Why wait? But testimony after testimony confirm that suddenly changing your diet to Carnivore can cause some unfortunate issues. Some of the issues:

1. Oxalate dumping – The body ridding itself rapidly of stored oxalates, found in some fruits, beans and veggies.
2. Problems on the backend – constipation or diarrhea
3. Withdrawals from sugar or gluten (wheat)

The issue I’m most concerned about is addiction withdrawal from sugar and gluten/wheat. Just looking around in every restaurant, every commercial, in our cabinets or grocery aisles, the most common ingredients in many recipes are sugars and wheat. I’ve even found wheat in Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. WHY is there wheat in my mint chocolate chip????

So, here’s the plan. For the month of December, I have up gluten. I had my last gluten item as of the 5th, and the meal was predictably my all-time favorite….pizza. Pizza has been a lifelong love, but for Carnivore, I say goodbye to wheat crusts. See this video from Steak and Butter Gal for a Carnivore pizza recipe:

During this entire transition, I’ll be including at least one Carnivore meal a day where possible. I am challenging myself with eating Carnivore even on the road during the holidays. Thankfully videos are abundant on YouTube to help give me ideas for most chain or fast-food restaurants.

Here’s to a Happy Holiday of transitions. May God bless your path and your heart this month.
