Pittsburg, Kansas | It is hard to seperate the social and taste part of eating from the actual nutritional needs.
I hear you. My wife would actually like to be full carnivore and has went short periods of only animal products. But like you, it becomes hard to have much variety. Plus probably as much an issue is the social aspect. I would not be a problem and when at home we are probably 95% carnivore (onions, pickles and olives are pretty much a staple at meals as non-carnivore sides - my wife loves onions and is one veg that is hard for her to give up). But when we go out to eat things get harder. Either have to pick from an even shorter list of places than even keto or low carb can be acomplished, or just quit eating out. And eating out is part of our motorcycle experience in the summer months.
I don't have a good answer for you. If a person is only looking at nutrition and not using food as part of their reward/pleasure portion of life it would be easier.
Here is one lady that might have some ideas. I don't care for watching her that much (although she does have a good story) but my wife and SIL likes her. She tries out different recipes. If I recall correctly she lost some huge amount of weight on keto (like maybe 140#??) then hit a stall. Now going more carnivore to see if she can get off the stall.

And just a general search for recipes:

Oh, I have one other advantage. My wife loves to cook, does a wonderful job of it, and can come up with many ways to make the meal more interesting. For example, we have steak one night. With left overs she will cut it up in thin strips, make a carnivore gravy to go with it, and for lunch or dinner the next day it will be another completely different dish and delicious.
