Can you have peanut butter on the carnivore diet?

Alright, folks! Let's dive straight into the meat of the matter (pun intended). Can you have peanut butter on the carnivore diet? Now, I know what you're thinking, "Seb, you're a carnivore diet enthusiast, you should know this!" And you're right, but let's explore this together, shall we?

The short answer is no. Peanut butter is not allowed on a carnivore diet. I know, I know, it's a bummer. I mean, who doesn't love a good spoonful of peanut butter, right? But remember, the carnivore diet is all about consuming animal products and saying a big no to plant-based foods. And last time I checked, peanuts didn't moo, cluck, or swim in the ocean.

Now, I can hear some of you saying, "But Seb, I've been using peanut butter as my go-to snack on my keto diet!" I get it, I really do. Peanut butter is a great source of healthy fats and can be quite satisfying. But remember, we're playing a different ball game here. The carnivore diet is not the keto diet. While they both focus on high protein intake, the carnivore diet is stricter about the no plant-based foods rule.

I came across a Reddit post where a former keto dieter turned carnivore was asking the same question. They were looking for a satisfying replacement for peanut butter. And let me tell you, the struggle is real. But hey, we carnivores are a resourceful bunch. There are plenty of high-fat, satisfying animal products out there. Have you tried butter? Or what about cream? They might not be the same as peanut butter, but they can be pretty satisfying.

Now, I'm not saying it's going to be easy. There might be days when you'd kill for a peanut butter sandwich. But remember why you started this journey. Whether it's for health reasons, to build muscle, or just to try something new, keep your eyes on the prize. And who knows, you might discover some new favourite foods along the way.
