Carnivore Cooking Tips And Tricks

For cooking you can use animal fats such as tallow, lard, duck fat, etc. Add extra fat to lean cuts of meat for flavor. If you tolerate dairy you can add ghee, butter, cheese, or cream.

Ways of cooking meat include grill, air fryer, pan fry, oven roast, sear, sous vide, slow cooker, or pressure cooker. Getting an air fryer can make your life easier. To do carnivore on a budget you can eat burger patties instead of steaks.

Organ Meats

Liver
Heart
Oxtail
Cheeks
Tongue
Brain
Kidneys
Feet

You can include organs in your diet only if you enjoy them. We have seen success on the carnivore diet with and without eating organ meats.

Less optimal foods

Eggs
Cheese
Heavy cream
Yogurt
Milk
Bacon
Sausage
Cured meats

It is best to limit dairy, eggs, and processed or cured meats because they can create inflammation. The main meal should be actual meat.
