What Our Members Say

Members frequently raise concerns about the rising cost of meat and the challenge of maintaining a carnivore diet on a budget, with common strategies including buying in bulk, using cheaper cuts, and utilizing slow cookers. Electrolyte management and navigating complex dietary restrictions or health conditions also emerge as recurring challenges, with coaches and experienced members offering practical, individualized guidance. The community demonstrates a strong culture of peer support, with members sharing local deals, personal recipes, and lived experience alongside coach input.

• Coaches consistently emphasize gradual, individualized adjustment over strict dietary purity, particularly for members with medical conditions or digestive sensitivities, framing elimination protocols like the lion diet as tools rather than requirements.
• When addressing cost concerns, coaches recommend buying from local farmers, watching for sales, purchasing in bulk, and utilizing cheaper cuts cooked in slow cookers as reliable strategies for reducing meat expenses without compromising the diet.
• Bone broth is repeatedly recommended by coaches as a multi-purpose, affordable resource that supports electrolytes, hydration, digestion, and can serve as a functional swallowing aid during meals.
• Coaches reinforce that reintroducing food after a fast or cleanse should begin with simple, fatty, easy-to-digest options such as bone broth, scrambled eggs, or 80/20 ground beef, increasing portions slowly as digestion stabilizes.
