It's an informal gathering for people who are pursuing a meat-based, low carb lifestyle, for the purpose of encouraging and supporting each other. While we normally gather around a meal, the focus is not on what we are eating, but who we are seated around the table with. The real "meat on the table" is the real stories from real people who love to share their health transformation stories to encourage others. Many bring "before" pictures to encourage others. We are all works in progress, and have great respect for those who are traveling the same path, ahead of us where we want to go, and behind us where we all were at one time. All Proper Human Diet (PHD), Carnivore, Keto, Low Carb and PHD-Curious people are welcome. No matter where you are on your health journey, there will be someone there who has already done what you want to do, and there will also be someone there who will be inspired by you. Try it, you'll like it!
Let's get together at Armco Park in Warren County, Ohio for some brisket & pulled pork catered by Mission BBQ! Yep, that's all I ordered, but I ordered a lot of it, and they're going to give us BBQ sauce, because that's just what they do. After we eat, we can take a walk through the park and enjoy the autumn leaves. We've rented a shelter with electricity and a large fireplace, so we can gather around the fire after our walk. Come catch up with old friends and meet new ones as we encourage one another. The shelter has several large picnic tables, but if you have portable chairs please bring them. They might be more comfortable around the fire than the picnic tables. Your ticket includes the brisket, pulled pork and bottled water. You may bring a side dish to share if you'd like. Registration is $20.
Specific location not yet available, but, of course there will be a meaty dinner, a white elephant gift exchange, some singing, some games and a wonderful time of sharing our stories and encouraging one another. This will be a potluck, so bring something yummy (and low carb) to eat and a wrapped white elephant gift (something silly for $10 or less). There will not be a charge for this event, assuming I can find a place large enough, or enough homes to host all who want to come. Please indicate your interest now so I know how much room we'll need.

We had great time at the August 2026 Picnic! 21 low carb peeps gathered to eat hamburgers, bacon, smoked sausage, deviled chicken eggs, pickled quail eggs, jalapeno dip, cowboy candy, beef chips, and carnivore macaroni & cheese. But that wasn't even the best part. The BEST part was the encouraging stories everyone shared. And we also planted cow stickers all over our map, because - why not?

We met at Company 7 BBQ in Englewood, Ohio for a lot of laughter, encouraging stories and a lot of BBQ!!!

We enjoyed fun & games, and low carb food, of course, at our Christmas party.

We met at Buckhead Mountain Grill in Bellevue, Kentucky.

Our first meat up was in Sharon Woods. There were 8 of us, but none of us thought to take a picture, so Mike & I took one after everyone left.
