FTW Carnivore Diet 2 Week Challenge
Before we get to the schedule, let’s lay the 10 Carnivore Ground Rules:
#1: If available, eat the best quality product possible. This means organic, free range, grass fed, hormone free, nitrate
free, non-GMO, etc.
#2: Stop “eating on a clock” and start listening to your body. Just because work or school gives you a “meal break”
doesn’t mean you have to eat at that time. If you are not hungry, don’t eat. Take advantage of that time and do
something productive like listen to a podcast or meditation, read a book or get a workout in.
#3: Sugar, sugar alternatives and alcohol are strictly forbidden. The concept of carnivore is that we are not consuming
anything not from an animal. Even with calorie free sweeteners, they act like sweeteners in the body. And, alcohol is a
grain.
#4: No cheat days. Come on, it’s only 2 weeks. We promise you will not die of carb withdrawal.
#6: Try and avoid eating out as much as possible. Most restaurants cook with vegetable oils and their meats are often
cheap version and contain fillers and even sugars.
#7: Expect some gastrointestinal changes. Your gut flora is going to be changing, so you may experience some diarrhea
or constipation for the first couple of days. If you have constipation, we recommend supplementing with magnesium
until things return to normal.
#8: Water and salt are life! These are the two things you need to survive if everything else is unavailable. Do not shy
away from salt. We recommend the Real Salt brand. Salt your food every time you eat.
#9: HYDRATE, HYDRATE HYDRATE! Our rule of thumb is that if you feel hungry, you are probably dehydrated. Drink 8
ounces of water. Wait 20 minutes. If you are still hungry, go ahead and eat, but most likely, your body was just sending
you the dehydration signal and you mistook it for hunger.
#10: Take your “before” and “after” pictures. You may not see a huge change in the scale after just 2 weeks, but you will
most likely see a change in your belly area. Bloating and distention tend to disappear on a zero-carb diet.
