| Could you please tell me the opposite of "Strict Vegetarian"? How about Strict Carnivorous? |
Carnivorous is an adjective, Tom, so you'd have to say "strictly carnivorous" to be grammatically correct. The noun is carnivore.

How does the sentence sound?
1- My sister is a strict vegetarian but I am a strict carnivorous. |
Unfortunately, in addition to the grammar problem, this sentence tends to make you sound like a wild animal. ;)
I'd say ..."I'm a strict carnivore" only if I were trying to be a bit humorous. Otherwise you could use the word "meat-eater" or "meat-lover" or simply say you are not a vegetarian. OR you could say "I only eat meat."

Which begs the question:
when animal eaters die, what happens to them?

Apparently, the term 'meatarian' is used, too.
