Mayonnaise is probably the most popular condiment in the world. So, it’s no wonder so many people on the carnivore diet are asking if they can still enjoy mayo.
In this short post, I will explain everything you need to know about mayo and the carnivore diet.
I will also share my favorite carnivore mayo recipe that you can make at home. I’m sure you will love it!
Mayo On Carnivore Diet – Yes Or No?
Store bought mayo is definitely not carnivore friendly. The main reason is that these mayo products are based on seed oils.
Consuming these seed oils can cause inflammation in the body, as well as many other health issues. In fact, seed oils are the leading cause of metabolic problems and other related diseases.
If you are following a carnivore diet, and care about your health, you should avoid eating store bought mayo at all costs.
That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy mayo on your carnivore diet though. You can easily make your own mayo from healthy animal fats. And it tastes so much better as well!

It’s so easy to make the perfect carnivore diet mayo! And once you taste it, you’ll never go back to store bought mayo.
It has a really nice texture and flavor that pairs wonderfully with all your favorite carnivore dishes.

Avocado Oil Mayo
Nowadays there are many companies that make healthier mayo options. These are based on avocado oil instead of seed oils.
These are much healthier than regular store bought mayo and can be a great addition to a carnivore diet – but only in small amounts.
If you want to add mayo to your carnivore meals on regular basis, it is best to make your own mayo with duck fat (animal based mayo).
The Bottom Line
Mayo can be a great addition to a carnivore diet. It is high in fat and can add flavor to dishes while still following the rules of a carnivore diet.
However, it is important to make sure that you choose mayonnaise made with high-quality ingredients. Avoid store bought mayo based on seed oils. These seed oils are very unhealthy.

Can you freeze the Mayo?
You can, but the texture won’t be the same after it thaws.
