Ok I'm only speaking from MY perspective as food is a very very personal choice. In my opinion, there is no such thing as "clean" or "good" carbs. My body is very sensitive to them and they cause tons and tons of inflammation for me. I only get incidental carbs and never try to ingest them unless I'm doing so knowing full well it is a cheat meal and I regret it almost immediately and almost every time lololol

As far a price goes. I do really really well eating OMAD, but occasionally I get hungry and eat two meals a day. For me, cutting out all the junk and carbs balanced out basically what I'm spending on meat. I also watch the weekly Publix ads (not sure if you have them where you are) and buy ribebyes on sale and stock up on them. I've also been talking to local ranchers to see about buying a half cow to have processed. I also add in cheaper cuts of meat such as variations on meals using hamburger and I supplement a decent amount with eggs.

If you are interested a great great resource is Dr. Ken Berry on Youtube and Laura Spath on Youtube. Their vids pointed me in the right direction for me to do my own research on carnivore. Also, you can find Jordan Peterson's and his daughter Mikayla's personal story about carnivore and how dramatically it changed their health.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I'm not saying I'm doing it the "right" way, but it is working for me lololol
