Welcome to the 30 Day Carnivore Challenge!

Monday, October 26th 2009 marks the first day of the "30 Day Carnivore Challenge." I created this challenge specifically for my boyfriend, Shell, who lives and breaths for greasy fast food, cheeseburgers, steak (specifically a 24 ounce Porterhouse), stuffed-crust pizza and ice cream. Sound familiar?

If this sounds like a mirror image of your eating habits or you know someone who eats this way, I urge you to follow us for the next 30 days. Now wait a second... just because some of you may be grossed out by Shell's diet, I am still talking to YOU! Yes you!! I especially want people who eat a "healthy" diet consisting of lean meats and very little carbs, people who are on or have tried Atkins, South Beach, Eat Right for Your Type, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, or any other fad "DIET!"

For the next 30 days, I am going to let you in on a secret that nobody wants you to know and that billions of dollars are spent annually on covering it up. I will show how people who have diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood pressure can literally be freed of all their medication forever in as little as 30 days! How do I do this? It's simple. And you are about to find out.

Take a minute to click on the links above to meet the challenger, learn about protein and more! I will have a new post up at the end of each day (after all meals), showcasing pictures of every meal and providing new information on why this will be the most important challenge of your life.

Here's to your health, to the animals and to the Earth!

Day Twenty: I Like Broccoli

It's the end of day 20, which marks the ten day countdown.  My Mom hosted a vegan potluck last night in order to provide people interested in going veg, the opportunity to speak with a plant-based dietitian.  Our friend, Julieanna Hever, RD has been helping people reach nutritional excellence for over twelve years.  She presented a very informative lecture on the benefits of not just avoiding animal products, but by specifically consuming a plant-based diet.  During her presentation, the guests had opportunities to ask questions and I was so proud of Shell for actively participating in her lecture.  The majority of the people who attended had little to no experience in eating a plant-based diet.  So when one of the guests asked how much broccoli one should eat in order to consume as much protein as a 4 ounce piece of steak, Shell answered:  "It's only about 2 cups."  In fact, when Shell started the challenge he "hated broccoli."  "But after only a couple weeks, I actually like Broccoli," Shell exclaimed.  


Breakfast: Blueberry Pancakes, Green Machine Smoothie



Lunch: Chipotle Veggie Bowl


Dinner: A variety of vegan pot luck creations!!
Sorry, I am a bad blogger and don't have any pictures.  The good news is, Julieanna had the whole evening professionally filmed, so we will get some good footage soon!! 

Dessert: The BEST Oatmeal Raisin Walnut Cookies EVER
