Carnivore Challenge

 

The festive season is over, and let’s be honest - most of us enjoyed all the things 😅

Pudding, braais, chocolates that “didn’t count”, and maybe one too many “I’ll start Monday’s”.

If you’re feeling sluggish, bloated, or like your jeans are personally attacking you… we see you.

January is reset season.

Join us for our January Carnivore Weight-Loss Challenge - a full month dedicated to simplifying nutrition, reducing cravings, and getting your body back into fat-burning mode.

We encourage a carnivore approach for the month, but if full carnivore feels like a bit much, a meat-based way of eating is 100% welcome. This is not an all-or-nothing, suffer-in-silence situation.

Extra info if interested in carnivore / only animal based lifestyle !

If you'd like more I do, we have a Carnivore guide - there are meal plans in it, too.

🔥 CHALLENGE GUIDELINES

🥩 What to eat

Beef, lamb, chicken, pork, game (yes, biltong counts - but be honest with yourself 😉)

Eggs

Fish & seafood

Animal fats (butter, ghee, tallow)

Salt, pepper, basic spices (no sneaky sugar vibes)

🥓 Optional (for meat-based participants)

Limited low-carb veg if needed (think spinach, broccoli, avo - not a full Woolies salad bar)

Green list flours for pap etc.

Dairy if tolerated (cheese, cream, yoghurt - again, no funny business...)

🚫 What to avoid

Sugar (yes, even “just one biscuit”)

Bread, rice, pasta, cereals

Ultra-processed foods

Seed oils

Alcohol (sorry… January is doing its thing)

💧 Hydration

Drink plenty of water

Electrolytes encouraged (salt is your friend - don’t fear it)

⏱️ Eating style

Eat until satisfied - no calorie counting

Many people naturally eat fewer meals; that’s fine

No force-feeding steak at midnight to “hit macros”

💪 Movement

Gentle movement encouraged: walking, gym, mobility

You don’t need to punish yourself for December - we’re not training for Comrades (yet)

🎯 THE GOAL

This challenge is about simplicity, consistency, and accountability, not perfection.

Expect fewer cravings, better energy, less bloating, and clothes that stop judging you by week two.

Whether you go full carnivore or mostly meat-based, the win is showing up daily and sticking to the plan.

Start 2026 feeling lighter, clearer, and back in control.

Less chaos. More protein. Let’s go 💪🥩
