What is the Ketovore Diet?

Ketovore sits between keto and carnivore. Your plate is 80-90% animal products — meat, eggs, fish, butter — with 10-20% low-carb plant additions like avocado, leafy greens, and berries for extra nutrients and variety.

Carnivore Foundation

Meat, eggs, and animal fats are the base of every meal — providing protein, B vitamins, iron, and zinc.

Strategic Plant Additions

Avocado, spinach, broccoli, and berries add fiber, potassium, and antioxidants without spiking carbs.

Easier Than Strict Carnivore

More food variety means easier social eating, better long-term compliance, and no nutrient gaps.

2

Add Low-Carb Plants Strategically

Avocado, leafy greens, cruciferous veggies, mushrooms, and berries — 10-20% of your plate.

3

Keep Carbs Under 20-30g

With most calories from animal sources, hitting 20-30g total carbs is effortless — deep ketosis maintained.
