The Carnivore diet has been exploding on Tiktok lately and I’ve been seeing a lot of videos about it. Animal based diets are also trending right now and I’m here for it. The only thing difference between the two is animal based allows you to also eat fruits and vegetables.
If you’re like me you ate a lot of sugar in the last 2 weeks and I’m really tired of it. I’ve been learning a lot about the animal based diet and carnivore diet. I feel really good when I eat steak and grass fed rib eye or ground beef (that I get at aldi.) Don’t know if its the iron but its gotta to be some type of vitamin or mineral I’m missing. I try to eat low carb for 2 meals a day.
One intriguing component of this diet is carnivore mayonnaise, a delicious and versatile condiment that can elevate your meals while adhering to the strict guidelines of the carnivore lifestyle. In this blog post, we will explore what carnivore mayonnaise is, how to make it, and how it can enhance your culinary experiences.
