The Carnivore Diet: A Meaty Affair with Onions
If you're reading this, you're probably wondering about eating onions on the carnivore diet, right?
Well, you're in the right place. Let's dive right in and chew the fat on this topic.
Now, you might be thinking, "Seb, can you really eat only meat?" Well, my friends, the answer is a resounding yes! But, before you start picturing life without your favourite onion rings, let me stop you right there.
Here's the twist: onions can be a part of the carnivore diet too! Surprised? Let's dig a little deeper.
Onions on a Carnivore Diet? Really?
Yes, really! Now, I know what you're thinking. "But Seb, onions are plants!" You're absolutely right. But here's the thing: while a strict carnivore diet typically involves only animal products, there's a less rigid version that allows for a bit of plant action. And guess what? Onions make the cut!
Why onions, you ask? Well, onions are low in sugar and high in flavour. They can add a dash of taste to your meaty meals, making them more enjoyable. Plus, they come with their own set of nutrients, including vitamin C, potassium, and fibre [1]. So, you're not just adding flavour, you're adding nutrition too!
But What About the Purists?
Sure, there are carnivore diet purists who might argue that including onions is bending the rules. But hey, isn't life all about bending a few rules to make things work for us? I mean, if we stuck to the rules all the time, we'd still be eating raw meat around a fire, wouldn't we?
My Experience with Onions on a Carnivore Diet
When I first started the carnivore diet, I was all in. Meat, meat, and more meat. But after a while, I started missing the flavours that come from plant-based foods. That's when I decided to experiment a bit and add onions to my diet.
And let me tell you, it was a game-changer! The onions added a whole new dimension to my meals. My steaks tasted better, my burgers were juicier, and my overall meal experience improved significantly.
The Health Aspect
Now, I'm no doctor, but I've done my research[2]. And from what I've read, a carnivore diet can have some potential health benefits. It can help with weight loss, manage blood sugar levels, and even help with certain mental health issues. But like any diet, it's not without its risks.
That's where onions come in. By including onions in your carnivore diet, you're adding essential nutrients that you might otherwise miss out on. Plus, they're delicious! So, it's a win-win situation.
Wrapping Up
So, there you have it, folks! The carnivore diet doesn't have to be all meat all the time. A little bit of plant action, especially from something as nutritious and flavorful as onions, can go a long way in making your carnivore diet journey more enjoyable and sustainable.
Remember, at the end of the day, it's all about finding what works for you. If adding onions to your carnivore diet makes it more enjoyable and helps you stick to it, then by all means, go for it! After all, isn't the goal to find a diet that you can stick to in the long run?
So, what do you say? Are you ready to join me on this meaty adventure? Let's embrace the carnivore diet, with a side of onions!
