Ketovore Diet FAQ

What is a ketovore diet?

Ketovore is a hybrid of keto and carnivore. It's mostly animal-based (meat, eggs, fish) with small amounts of keto-friendly plants like avocado, leafy greens, and berries. Think 80-90% carnivore with 10-20% strategic plant additions for variety and micronutrients.

What is the difference between ketovore and carnivore?

Carnivore is 100% animal products — zero plants. Ketovore allows small amounts of low-carb plants like avocado, spinach, peppers, and berries. Both keep carbs very low and prioritize animal protein, but ketovore is more flexible and easier to sustain long-term for most people.

What can you eat on a ketovore diet?

Primary foods: beef, pork, chicken, fish, eggs, butter, animal fats. Allowed plants: avocado, leafy greens (spinach, arugula), cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower), peppers, mushrooms, berries in moderation, olives, and coconut. Avoid grains, sugar, legumes, and seed oils.

Is ketovore good for weight loss?

Yes, ketovore is excellent for weight loss. High protein and fat keep you satiated, very low carbs reduce insulin and water retention, and the elimination of processed foods naturally creates a calorie deficit. Many people find it easier to sustain than strict carnivore while getting similar results.

How many carbs on a ketovore diet?

Typically 10-30g of total carbs per day, coming exclusively from low-carb vegetables, avocado, and occasional berries. This is lower than standard keto (20-50g) because the majority of calories still come from animal sources. Most people stay easily in ketosis on ketovore.
