The most common question I get is this: “Beef is expensive. Why can’t I just eat chicken and pork?”
In this reset, fat is your fuel. When you’re on carnivore, your body adapts to burn fat for energy. If you don’t eat enough fat, you will feel tired, hungry, and unsatisfied.
Beef naturally has the fat your body needs. It keeps you full, gives you steady energy, and makes it easier to stay consistent.
Chicken and pork are much leaner. If you rely on them, you will find yourself fighting hunger, low energy, and cravings all day.

Could you make chicken or pork work by adding extra fat? Yes. But now you’re adding complexity.
And complexity creates more decisions, more chances for mistakes, and more ways to fall off track.
And about the cost, I hear you. Ground beef feels more expensive than chicken when you’re standing in the grocery store.
But think about what you’re cutting out.
The snacks.
The processed food.
The random junk that ends up in your cart when you don’t have a plan.
Most men find the grocery bill evens out or actually drops when they shop with a simple list and stick to it.
Ground beef in particular is one of the most affordable proteins in the store, especially when you buy in bulk.
This plan is designed for real life, not a chef’s budget.
This reset is about keeping things simple enough to stay consistent. Beef is the simplest, most effective way to do that. Save the variety for later phases when the foundation is solid.
