Animal-Based Diet 🦬

A few weeks ago I switched to an animal-based diet.

Let’s say 85% of what I eat, is animal sourced.

I still want to enjoy my Aperol Spritz in summer…

After dealing with a lot of allergies in the Colorado spring, I decided to give this type of eating a try.

It basically means cutting out a lot of food, that can cause inflammation in your body (e.g. grains, legumes, pasta, bread, processed sugars, seed oils, etc.).

An animal-based diet begins with a focus on nose-to-tail animal foods; primarily meat and organs.

These are the most evolutionarily consistent and bioavailable foods for humans.

From there, we add in other foods, ideally organically and locally sourced like fruit, honey and raw dairy.

What are the Benefits of an Animal-Based Diet?

The most common benefits from eating an animal-based diet are weight loss, improved blood pressure and insulin sensitivity, and general health and well-being.

Additional benefits that are commonly seen are:

• Elimination or improvement of autoimmune conditions

• Improved mood and mental clarity

• Increased energy

• Improved libido

• Better body composition

• Higher quality sleep

• Improved gastrointestinal issues

That’s it.

Animal-based is simple and nourishing.

Raw Milk is definitely my new favorite. Check out Get Raw Milk for your local dealer.

After a couple of weeks eating animal-based, I do feel great.

Although I’m sneaking in a bagel with honey or a pizza with my wife here and there. You still want to be social, and not a weirdo.

Focusing on health and fat loss for summer my macronutrient split looks like this:

25% Carbohydrates - 50% Fat - 25% Protein

Protein: 0.8-1 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass.

Carbs: .75-1 grams per pound of lean body mass.

Fats: 1.2 – 1.5 grams of fat per pound of lean body mass.

I hope this helps.

Have an epic Saturday,
