In a social media trend that won’t stop, ravenous meat eaters, mostly men, show themselves chomping on rib-eye steaks, bacon and innards.
In a recent online video, a popular TikTok user who posts as @carnivoreray unveiled a new snack recipe.
After sliding sheet pans packed with fatty bacon strips into the oven, he melted two sticks of butter from grass-fed cows.
The next morning, the influencer bit into the frozen treat while filming himself for his roughly 170,000 TikTok followers.
The video belongs to an enduring social media genre quarterbacked largely by muscular fellows who claim that a meat-heavy diet is the key to mental and physical well-being.
A stricter version of high-fat, low-carb regimens like the Atkins diet and keto, the carnivore diet consists of meat, seafood and eggs — period.
While some add dairy and a little fruit to the mix, the strictest proponents adhere to what they call B.B.B.E — that is, beef, bacon, butter and eggs.
TikTok and Instagram are awash in videos of these men (and some women) feasting on a petting zoo’s worth of meat products.
This ain’t no “girl dinner.”.
Hungry meat eaters, primarily men, are posting pictures of themselves gorging on rib-eye steaks, bacon, and internal organs on social media in an unstoppable trend.
A well-known TikTok user going by the handle @carnivoreray recently shared a new snack recipe in an online video. Once the oven was filled with crispy bacon strips, he melted two sticks of butter made from grass-fed cows. He added the melted butter to the sheet pans after the bacon was crispy. He then placed the mixture in the freezer.
During his self-filming for his approximately 170,000 TikTok followers, the influencer consumed the frozen treat early the following morning. His comment was, “This tastes like candy.”. Requests for comments from the account’s owner were not answered. ( ).
The video is part of a persistent social media trend that is primarily supported by strong men who assert that eating a diet high in meat is essential for both physical and mental health.
The carnivore diet is a more stringent variation of high-fat, low-carb plans such as the Atkins diet and keto, which only allow meat, fish, and eggs. Although some supplement with dairy and a small amount of fruit, the most ardent supporters stick to what they refer to as B. C. 3. Beef, bacon, butter, and eggs are all in category E.
Videos of these men (and some women) gorging on meat products comparable to those at a petting zoo are all over TikTok and Instagram. Some claim to have gone months without eating any vegetables. Additionally, they tout dramatic weight loss and improved mental clarity as health benefits. Certain individuals referred to as “meatfluencers” refuse to eat from plates and instead consume their food directly off of the cutting board.
