A Carnivore Diet Meal Plan with 5 Dinners That Go Beyond Steak

A Carnivore Diet Meal Plan with 5 Dinners That Go Beyond Steak

Does Ollie work for a specific dietary need? We put Ollie’s meal planning to the test with one of the strictest, of-the-moment diets out there: the carnivore diet. 

We told Ollie in our preferences that we were on the carnivore diet. For us, that meant animal-based products only, however we did include salt, pepper, and hard cheese. 

Here’s the AI-generated meal plan that Ollie created. What do you think? Could you stick to this for a week? Ollie generated an instant grocery list that you can copy into your phone and take to the store.
