From the "How To Be Healthy" Course
This diet is a massive change from the average modern diet.
To be a healing diet it would have to be different from the average diet that creates lifestyle diseases.
There was a time when I thought vegan / low meat/fasting would be this diet. I tried it wholeheartedly. It broke me ( I was working on 20RM Back Squats at 120kg at the time).
Who's it for?
If you're in hard training then switching to this diet might not be the best idea.
If you're sick and healing is your number one priority this is a great place to look.
The best thing is that once you've tried this diet and seen how your skin and gut react you will have a tool for healing/resetting whenever the need arises for you.
Don't settle
You're worthy of great skin.
Great gut health.
Great mental clarity.
A great physique.
A great life.
Let Us Never Accept Less
1 Meal At A Time
Initially, this plan could be massively overwhelming.
So far from what you were brought up on it's impossible.
What about one meal?
What about 3-4 days?
What about a month?
If you want the best for yourself there is no choice but to be running health and performance experiments.
The Gut
1. The gut is the best indicator of health.
Gas, bloating, burning sensations, etc all tell us the gut isn't great.
We have no place training hard or expecting health and performance when we're gassy.
2. Runs, rabbit poo, constipation... these are signs that the body is being challenged.
3. We want solid stool that is easy to pass.
4. Massive shits don't equal massive health. Fiber is stuff the body doesn't use that passes through us. It rubs against the gut lining which if already inflamed adds to health troubles.
5. Your stool volume will decrease when you eat more "food"
Skin
Pimples, eczema, dandruff, white spots, etc.
Something is wrong.
Too little fat?
Too much sugar, grains?
Too much protein?
Too much plant materials?
Experiment until the issue has been resolved.
The Brain & CNS
Concentration.
Drive.
Energy.
These are signals that things are going well or not so well on the inside.
The human brain draws a lot of energy and is a good barometer of how things are going on the inside.
Grip strength, reaction time, and power tell us about how well the brain and central nervous system are functioning.
What To Eat
Organs
1/2 kg liver/week
1/4 kg brains/week
Bone & connective tissues -> bone broth, gelatine, collagen, slow-cooked meats
More organs welcome, bone marrow, etc.
Fat
Ideally from suet/fatty offcuts
If not then use tallow/lard
Pasture Raised Red Meat
Steak / Mince from beef, pork, lamb, venison, kangaroo, bison, etc.
Other
Egg yolks.
Oysters
Perfect Sausage Mince
All of this can be minded together and then cooked/dried as needed to get the desired results.
Getting your own mincer is an easy way to experiment and get your mix just right.
How much?
The best answer is based on satiety.
The ratio for best healing is around 2:1 grams of fat to protein.
This gives the body plenty of fat-soluble vitamins and energy without a lot of work to do. Fat arrives basically in the form it will be circulated where carbs and proteins require more processing.
Too Much Protein?
Bad breath.
Ammonia smelling sweat.
Low energy.
These can be signs that protein bi-products are accumulating in the blood. This can happen if you're eating a lot of lean meats without fat for a long period.
Fasting or fat fasting can help clear the body before returning to a diet with more fats.
Fasting
If you have a lot of fat to burn then fasting is a great place to experiment.
You're carrying around a lot more energy than you need and it's having some negative impact on your health and hormones.
While fasting you can use clays, charcoal, etc to support the process of cleaning the gut.
Dry fasting is also an option to look at for challenging sick cells periodically.
- Note: fasting like training and ice and many of the things we do is a STRESS. If you're already lean it's a strong stress. Even if you're not that lean it's still going to challenge your body if you're training hard or dealing with emotional stress. Choose times of lower stress or improve your stress regulation if you would like to fast consistently.
I'm Healed. What's next?
Life is a game of balance.
For most people, there will be an urge to go outside this diet.
For some that will cause a deterioration in blood markers and health.
For others, it'll be fine.
Now you have the tools to make a change when you need it.
1. Other meats.
If you want non-pastured meats, chicken, fish, etc.
Add them back, and see how you digest feel, look & performance.
At this time you can also play with a lower fat-to-carb ratio.
Coffee is also something you can experiment with here.
2. Fruits and honey.
Cycling in fruits and honey can work well for some people.
If you want them, add them back, and see how you digest feel, look & performance...
3. Healthyish treats like dark chocolate, some raw dairy, etc.
4. Fermented grains and organic vegetables.
5. Periodically you might have processed crap.
Pasteurized dairy, non-fermented grain, and processed foods fit here.
That's a call we all need to make for ourselves.
No doubt you can balance calories and look good doing this regularly.
If you want mental and physical performance and longevity naturally then this should be a path you don't go down often.
If you don't mind/have the discipline to avoid accelerated aging, joint replacements, and a foggy brain then these foods will be your base.
Other Big Stuff
Water
Pure remineralized water is essential for optimal health.
Avoid tap water and water in plastic.
Add a pinch of salt to remineralize your water, particularly if it is reverse osmosis filtered.
Chemical exposure
Nobody wants to drink things like deodorant, shower gels, washing powder, or dishwashing liquid but the skin is always soaking these chemicals in leaving the liver to break them down and remove them. Most of it gets out but as you can read on the labels these molecules cause damage. Micro-dosing is not advised.
