Hello and welcome!
We are excited to have you on this journey!
We believe this way of eating has the potential to positively transform people’s health and lives, and we hope your carnivore experiment will be a positive experience.
Who Is This Carnivore Diet Plan for?
This 16-Week Carnivore Diet Plan series is designed to help newcomers like you transition to the carnivore diet as smoothly as possible.
The focus of this series is to assist those looking to address health issues such as leaky gut, diabetes, obesity, and autoimmune conditions (e.g., arthritis, celiac disease, vitiligo, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis) with the carnivore diet.
The series will begin with a strict version of the carnivore diet, where you consume only ruminant meat and organs. These foods are the most nutrient-dense and highest quality among all available carnivore options. In addition, they are also highly bioavailable and free from plant toxins and anti-nutrients, offering the best potential for healing.
This does not mean you will never be able to eat other foods again.
The ultimate determinant of what you can eat in the long term is your health, and you will have the opportunity to test it out once your chronic conditions have been resolved.
Later in the program, other types of carnivore foods such as pork, poultry, eggs, seafood, and even plant-based foods will be gradually introduced and tested.
If you find that you can tolerate these foods, you can include them in your long-term diet if you wish.
If you don’t have any health issues and simply want to try this diet to improve your health, you can still follow this plan. However, an easier alternative is to gradually eliminate plant-based and processed foods. If you haven’t already, please check out our post on how to start the carnivore diet step by step, which provides a broad overview of this approach.
Carnivore Diet for Weight Loss
Many people want to start the carnivore diet to lose weight, and that is perfectly fine.
However, if this is your goal, please focus on adapting to this way of eating first and ignore the number on the scale at the beginning.
While you may have a lot of excess fat that you are eager to lose, you might also suffer from nutritional deficiencies from years on a nutrient-poor diet, such as the Standard American Diet or a typical Western diet, which is characterized by high amounts of calories from inflammatory, ultra-processed foods with little or no nutritional value.
Therefore, at the beginning, please focus on eating the most nutrient-dense foods and following your body’s hunger cues: eat when you are hungry, eat until you are full, but don’t overeat.
This approach will give your body what it needs to detox, heal, and boost your nutritional status.
We believe if you follow the program closely, you will improve your health and lose the excess fat storage as well.
As seen in the overview below, this series covers many related issues such as meal frequency, meal timing, physical activity, and intermittent fasting. All of these factors can help you reach your desired body weight and composition.
So, please prioritize your health at the initial stage and focus on weight loss and body composition goals later. You definitely don’t want to be in good shape but feel miserable inside.
Toward the end of the program, we will dedicate a week to focusing on weight loss and body composition to help you reach your ideal weight and shape.
An Overview of the Series
This 16-week series aims to keep the transition process simple and manageable by introducing one new concept at a time.
The first week covers the necessary preparations before you switch to a meat-only diet. While you can jump straight to Week 2, these preparations can help make your carnivore diet journey much smoother.
For the remainder of the series, we will focus on one issue each week. For example, Week 2 will focus on ruminant meat and liver, Week 3 will focus on ruminant meat and introduce other organ meats, the following week will address getting your fat-to-protein ratio right, and so on.
Although you can read ahead, we strongly recommend you not rush. Take your time and focus on one thing at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
Below is an overview of the 16-week carnivore plan:
- Week 1: Preparation
- Week 2: Ruminant and liver
- Week 3: Ruminant and more organ meat
- Week 4: Fat to protein ratio
- Week 5: Sun exposure

Although it is a 16-week plan, you can spend as long as you need on any particular week.
However, we don’t recommend rushing through the plan.
As mentioned above, this series is intended for those seeking to improve their health conditions with the carnivore diet.
These health conditions are unlikely to have developed overnight, so it is essential to give your body the time it needs to adapt to this diet, boost its nutritional status, and heal from the inside out.
Have patience and enjoy the journey!
