The Best Carnivore Diet Meal: Lamb Leg

Lamb is the ultimate carnivore diet meal—rich, tender, and full of flavor. After fasting all day, nothing beats a hearty, satisfying plate of lamb at night. The lamb leg from Costco is my go-to; it’s a perfect balance of quality and affordability, making it ideal for anyone following a carnivore diet.

Cooking Lamb Leg in an Instant Pot

“I am no chef or genius but I do know that lamb leg is super simple to make.”

Cooking lamb leg doesn’t have to be complicated. Just grab an Instant Pot from Costco or Amazon, and let it handle the work. Here’s how I do it:

Place the lamb leg in the Instant Pot.
Add bone broth for extra flavor and tenderness.
Toss in some rosemary or thyme and a bit of salt.
Set the pot to slow cook for 8 hours.

This is the “9-5 of cooking” for me—set it up in the morning, go about your day, and come home to a juicy, tender meal that’s unbelievably good. In terms of carnivore diet, lamb leg is one of the best choices out there: it’s nutritious, satisfying, and simple.

Lamb and Tradition: Eid al-Adha in Palestine

Recently, I captured a powerful photo during Eid al-Adha in Palestine. In Jericho, I witnessed the sacrifice of hundreds of lambs—a tradition that filled the streets with the sights, sounds, and scents of the ritual. For days, blood covered the streets, a raw reminder of tradition and sacrifice in everyday life.

A Carnivore’s Routine: Everyday Ramadan

In many ways, my one-meal-a-day routine mirrors Ramadan—a time of fasting, focus, and reflection. While I’m not following it religiously, there’s a certain discipline and respect for the process. Keep it halal and keep it simple: lamb, prepared with care, and enjoyed fully.
