The strictest is the Lion diet, which is STRICTLY meat, salt, and water, PERIOD.
Everyone I know who goes full carnivore or even just mostly carnivore tends to eat about 1 meal a day, simply because that's all you feel you need. Hunger is satisfied a lot longer on meat (especially beef). Some people (myself included) may snack on chicken drumsticks or something once or twice a day, plus a main meal. I haven't quite gotten my eating schedule down yet, but basically I just eat when I'm hungry if there's food available.
Of course, I still haven't kicked the milk and cheese. I LOVE me some chocolate milk.  But I have found all veggies and grains are completely unnecessary for me, I could just live on beef and chicken. Especially if it is cooked over burning wood. mmmmmmmmm The good Lord knew what He was doing when He commanded bbq as the main form of offerings. |
What Esaias said is true.
In that the carnivore diet consists of nutrient dense foods, one doesn't eat, or even get hungry as one does in a normal high carb diet, as the body will feast of the meat, and less inclined to store it (fat) but uses it for sustenance.
I was an avid breakfast eater, but now I am not even hungry in the mornings, so I will not eat until my body (not my mind) tells me it is time to eat, then I sit down and eat A LOT!
Lots of beef, and primarily rib-eye and eggs. I do eat some liver and heart, as they are very rich in essential nutrients as well.
I am not sure how much I spent of food prior to me changing to carnivore, but I spend somewhere around $400.00 per month of food, which is only @$13.00 per day...not too bad.
The only thing I may snack on, is cheese, but I make sure I do not over-snack, which would interfere with the concept of a huge meal.
One would be surprised how long one can go with feeling hungry when the body has the proper human diet, as the unintended consequence of "intermittent fasting" becomes a normal part of ones life, and there is no sacrifice or starvation sensations to it.
If a person is addicted to snacking, that is more a mental situation that has to be dealt with, but is not too difficult if one has determined, and it passes after a couple of weeks.
