What it is

Ketovore sits between ketogenic and carnivore eating. It is animal-based and very low in carbohydrates, built around ruminant meat, eggs, butter, organ meats, and full-fat dairy, with only small amounts of plant food.

People choose it for simplicity and for an elimination-style approach that removes most plant foods, while keeping the fat-fueled metabolism of keto.

How Salt & Temper interprets it

Ketovore reshapes your recipe to roughly 30 percent protein, 65 percent fat, and 5 percent carbohydrates, at your recipe's current calorie level.

We anchor both protein and fat, because the animal-based profile depends on holding both. That uses our two-lock maximum, so carbs stay free and calories follow from the rest.

How we re-engineer your recipe

We favor ruminant meat, eggs, butter and tallow, organ meats, and full-fat dairy.

We minimize plants and keep any carbohydrate to small whole-food amounts, such as a little fruit or honey, rather than grains, starches, or refined sugar.

Good to know

  • This is the most restrictive of the lifestyles. If you are new to it, the Low-Carb / Keto option is a gentler starting point.
  • Because it removes most plant foods, pay attention to overall variety over time.
