🔹 CYCLICAL CARNIVORE DIET – COMPLETE GUIDE
What is it?
A powerful nutritional protocol where you eat only animal-based foods for a set number of days, followed by strategic “carb inclusion” or plant refeed days. It maximizes fat loss, mental clarity, and muscle preservation — while minimizing long-term side effects of strict carnivore diets.
🔥 MAIN GOALS:
- Burn fat efficiently with zero-carb phases
- Eliminate bloating and food sensitivities
- Improve mood, focus, and hormonal balance
- Build lean muscle with clean protein sources
🔄 HOW THE CYCLE WORKS:
Option A: 5:2 Method
- 5 days strict carnivore
- 2 days add low-FODMAP veggies or fruits
Option B: 3-Week Cycle
- Week 1: strict carnivore
- Week 2: include eggs + dairy + herbs
- Week 3: add leafy greens, avocado, and berries
🥩 WHAT TO EAT ON CARNIVORE DAYS:
✅ Animal Proteins:
- Beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, pork
- Fish, sardines, salmon, shellfish
- Eggs, liver, organ meats (highly recommended)
✅ Fats (Natural):
- Fatty cuts of meat, tallow, ghee, bone marrow, egg yolks
✅ Optional:
- Hard cheese (if tolerated)
- Bone broth (for hydration, minerals)
🚫 Avoid: processed meats with additives, cured sausages, dairy (unless testing tolerance)
🥗 WHAT TO EAT ON “PLANT REFEED” DAYS:
- Low-sugar fruits: berries, green apple, kiwi
- Low-starch veggies: zucchini, spinach, arugula, lettuce
- Avocado, olive oil, herbs
- Optional: probiotic foods (kimchi, sauerkraut)
⚙️ BENEFITS:
- Quick fat loss and reduced water retention
- Enhanced digestion and reduced bloating
- Elevated testosterone and mental drive
- Food sensitivity testing (by elimination)
🧠 PSYCHOLOGICAL EDGE:
- Simplicity = fewer decisions, less temptation
- “Tight then flexible” cycle avoids burnout
- Mental sharpness from ketone production
💡 PRO TIPS:
- Add sea salt and potassium to meals (electrolyte support)
- Hydrate with bone broth or mineral water
- Supplement magnesium if cramping occurs
- Track strength and focus for adjustments
⚠️ CAUTIONS:
- Not ideal for people with kidney issues or chronic constipation
- Always cycle — strict long-term carnivore is not sustainable for most
- Monitor bowel movements and adjust with fiber on refeed days
🧘 MINDSET:
You’re not just eating meat — you’re using an ancestral, strategic reset to burn fat, restore digestion, and sharpen your mind.
