Microblog: The Carnivore Diet Variations – Level of Restriction
CARNIVORE BEGINNER’S GUIDE
I’ve always enjoyed writing. I learned to make graphics during my management consulting days when we presented to C-suite clients. I studied Psychology at Berkeley which helped me to understand research papers.
🤒I’ve also been through eating disorder treatment and very much know the subpar recommendations for therapy + meds + dietetic support.
👩🏻🏫I also am a nutritional therapy practitioner.
🔥I leverage all these areas to provide community content and how I wrote @CarnivoreCure.⠀

⛑ The carnivore diet helped me heal and I want to give back so that no one has to go through what I did. Disordered eating and mental health issues are debilitating. Even getting out of bed is a feat.
🌟 And so I share. Because, sometimes, there is so much power in simplistic graphics.⠀
🔗But you can get all the graphics at https://www.nutritionwithjudy.com/how-to-start-the-carnivore-diet/.(note: it’s the older versions of the graphics)

🐄 I hope my infographics help make it easier to share the simple but incredibly powerful way of eating (and thriving) that is Carnivore.
📚AND if you like these, Carnivore Cure goes much more in-depth to help you personalize and fine-tune Carnivore for the long term.

Let’s talk dogma. Diets shouldn’t have dogma. And diets shouldn’t have diet police saying what is and isn’t.
🤯If you change your way of eating and feel that followers of the same diet are now shaming you—sure, some of it might be dogma. But a lot of it can be just refuting differing points of view.
✌🏼Let’s not call everything that is of a different view, dogma.
🚗We need diet labels because it helps us to stay in our lanes. I’ve talked so much about how we have finite amounts of decision making, so when we prescribe to a diet, we:
1️⃣ Rule out any decision making which helps us to stay diet-compliant
2️⃣ Diets work to an extent—it takes the guesswork out of what works and what doesn’t.
🧩I focus on personalized carnivore that makes you thrive and oftentimes that means only meat. But health should be the ability to be flexible IF you so choose. You shouldn’t be limited to meat because that’s all you can tolerate. Heal at the root cause.
🚥With that said, these categories help people to find a place they fit. Not to be dogmatic but to have a guiding light when they are finding their personalized carnivore.
Carnivore Diet Variations
🥩Some consider Meat + Water Carnivore as the perfect way to do an elimination diet. Eat beef and water for a few weeks. See how you feel—that’s your baseline of health before adding new foods.
🐄 Nose to Tail Carnivore, (Ancestral Carnivore) is eating the whole animal. The thought is that this way of eating is a more nutrient-dense carnivore diet.⠀
🐮Some follow Zero Carb Carnivore. Eat only from the animal kingdom. There is more flexibility in this way of eating: raw vs. cooked, organ vs. muscle meat, processed vs. fresh meat, organic vs. conventional—it’s all on the table. This diet is the tried and true Carnivore diet that the long-time Carnivore veterans have followed.
🥑Carnivoreish Keto is the most popular carnivore diet. Some purists would not consider this carnivore but to each their own.
🏆No version is better than the other. Bioindividuality is key. Do what will allow you to be consistent and committed for the long run. Reality check: there is no carnivore-diet trophy at the end of life. So do what works best for you.♥️
