A mother is providing her children with burgers, bacon, and butter daily and is encouraging others, especially parents, to embrace the same diet. Courtney Luna spends approximately $400 per week on meat for her family of four in preparation for potential food scarcity.
Initially adopting a carnivore diet to shed pounds, the 41-year-old mother has lost 55 pounds in less than a year. She now advocates for others to adopt this diet, emphasizing the nutrient density of meat, eggs, and animal fats as crucial in situations with limited food availability.
According to Courtney, following a carnivore diet does not have to be costly, with costs estimated at around $5 per person daily. Basic meals like ground beef and eggs can be both affordable and nutritious. She suggests stocking up on canned meats, pemmican, jerky, and protein powders for long-term food storage.
Courtney’s family consumes a diet filled with steak, eggs, burgers, and chicken wings, with snacks such as pork rinds, salami, or cheese. While she avoids organ meats, she utilizes beef tallow as a moisturizer for her skin care routine.
During a shopping trip, Courtney picked up various meats, cheeses, and eggs from Costco, focusing on animal-based foods. Despite her preference for a vegetable-free diet, she expressed dissatisfaction with chicken broth simmered with vegetables, a purchase that totaled $240.
Comments from users ranged from skepticism to concern about the children’s lack of vegetable consumption. Courtney defended her dietary choices by emphasizing the importance of animal-based nutrition for strength and resilience in challenging circumstances.
She believes that a whole-food animal-based diet is essential for providing children with optimal nutrition and preventing reliance on processed foods in the future.
