What If You Don’t Like Meat? My Surprising Carnivore Story

When people think about the Carnivore Diet, they often imagine someone who has loved steak and burgers their entire life. But what if you don’t even like meat — and you’re curious about trying Carnivore? That was me.

I hadn’t eaten beef since I was 20. A bad relationship and a story I told myself about meat kept me away from it for decades. Instead, I bounced from diet to diet — low-fat, paleo, keto, fasting — you name it, I tried it. The only one I never attempted was vegan, because let’s be honest… I could never say goodbye to bacon.

But as my health struggles mounted, I began researching deeper. I discovered that ruminant animals — like cows, lamb, and bison — provide some of the most nutrient-dense food on the planet. Packed with bioavailable protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, beef isn’t just another food choice; it’s a foundation for healing.

Still, the thought of cooking beef again felt intimidating. Could I really enjoy it after decades of avoiding it?

One day, curiosity won. I quietly bought a ribeye, brought it home, seasoned it simply, and cooked it in butter. I took a bite — and was shocked. I loved it. The tenderness, the richness, the satiety… it felt like my body had been craving this all along.

That moment marked the beginning of not just a Carnivore journey, but a mindset shift. I realized that much of my resistance to beef wasn’t about taste — it was about beliefs and stories I had carried for too long.

If you’ve ever said, “I’d try Carnivore, but I don’t even like meat,” know this: your body might surprise you. Our palates can change, especially when we start eating in alignment with how humans are designed to thrive.

Sometimes the biggest transformations start with a single choice — like putting a ribeye in your shopping cart.
