I also eat butter, some eggs, chicken and pork, lamb, buffalo, etc. occasionally. Probably 90% beef. I try to eat more eggs just to keep the cost down. I remember sitting down to my first meal on this diet, when I intended a month "cleanse". It was about a pound of hamburger patties fried in butter. I'd never been a big meat eater. (I still don't like steak.) Looking at those burgers I got depressed. Is this all I'm going to get to eat for the next month? I might have gone and added a bagle to it if I hadn't tossed them all. Then I ate it, and it was good, and the sad went away. I don't think I'd had an all-meat meal before on purpose. After a few such meals my reservations about it went away, and at the end of the month I wasn't interested in stopping. And far from having to will-power myself to eat, I am enjoying food at least as much or more than ever. I generally eat ribs for breakfast (yeah, very expensive, especially in comparison to dying young of metabolic disesase). I very much look forward to that same breakfast, with no regrets or boredom. This is not the typical carnivore story that I've heard. Jordan Peterson talks about how incredibily tedious this diet is. My brother and his daughter have had success with it, but find it hard to keep going long term. Whatever it is that makes it work so well for me is clearly not the same for everyone.
