r/AnimalBased

As most of us know, Paul was fully into carnivore for sometime, prior to going fully into animal based. While carnivore showed itself to be limiting for his life/lifestyle, and proved to be insufficient in supporting his health fully, could it be argued that without being on the carnivore as long as he was, that he never would have seen the current benefits he is now experiencing? That he never would have reached his current elevated health status?

I would be curious to know what Paul had to say personally, but as you may imagine, I don't have his cell phone number, and we don't DM each other regularly. Just curious of what others think, in how essential carnivore alone was in benefiting Paul in his health journey.

are cooked yellow plantains as effective at replenishing muscle glycogen as other starch staples? I want to avoid the oxalates in potatoes, arsenic in rice and gluten in wheat.

I’m planning to remove the seeds and steam them with some shrimp for my pre-workout meal/breakfast before high intensity strength training.

Anyone switching between carnivore and AB? Both have pluses and minuses imo, but in regards to mental clarity going AB is like becoming autistic for me, brain fog hitting hard.

since nitric oxide (beetroots, etc) is viewed bad here, how can once improve their blood circulation especially with anaemia?

Switched properly to AB diet over the last few days to try and help my gut issues. My main issue is acid reflux which causes me eusophagitis.

Whilst my inflammation and bloating has went down since switching to strict AB, I seem to be having quite a lot of if not more acid reflux.

Did anyone else have the same experience and how long did it take to go away? Guessing because it's s high fat diet and a switch in my microbiome.

Diet so far has mainly been...

Slow cooked lamb

Olives

Goat cheese

Raw butter

Raw a2 milk

Mango

Banana

Blueberries

A2 greek yoghurt made from raw milk

Grass fed steak mince

Grass fed liver

Squash

Courgettes

Soy free eggs

Maple syrup organic

Raw honey

I've been having pitted Medjool dates filled with about a teaspoon of butter for years, and they're beyond addictive – in the best of ways. I'd be interested in hearing others' ideas!

Hello. Up until now I had never even heard about oxalates. I had been vegan wfpb for a few years and I managed fine up until menopause. Chronic joint pain in knees, ankles and leg and foot pain. Burning mouth syndrome, swollen tongue and anxiety about everything. My dentist suggested oxalates as a cause so I went keto and no more pain until last night which was apparently oxalate dumping? I don’t understand really but it was suggested to me to read up on animal based as you guys understand oxalates and what foods I can eat.

Right now I eat: sheep yoghurt and sheep cheeses. Fatty meat. Eggs. Heavy cream, butter and olive oil. Chinese cabbages. Lots of fizzy water with lime juice. Celtic salts and home made bone broth . I take two 1000mg b12 a day. Two magnesium and ashwagandah tablets a day. I can’t go back to that burning mouth, absolute misery all day long.

Please help

Hey everyone, just curious if anyone has taken or does take the Whole Package supplement but Heart and Soil and if you noticed any benefits.

For some background, I’m a 24 y/o male that lives a fairly healthy lifestyle, eat healthy for the most part, workout, drink probably more than I should but yeah. My sleep schedule is definitely a little off due to my work as a first responder. The thing is, my libido and energy are horrible, I feel like how a 70 year old should feel lol. I wake up with 7-9 hours of sleep and feel horrible and not just in the morning, it’s the whole day to the point where my workouts feel terrible. I am planning on getting bloodwork done during the summer to at least see what I’m deficient in but in the mean time I was going to try the Whole Package supplement to see if it would help my libido and energy and curious to see if it actually helped anyone. It’s annoying that I am 24 and have to deal with this but whatever I gotta find my way out of it. Thanks for all who reply

After 18 months on strict carnivore, I’m new to animal based. F, 37 yo, carnivore wasn’t doing well for me. No libido, and always in very loose stools……
The great sides were healing my rosacea, and less inflammation, better sleep, and at first I had a better energy.
But I decided to change to animal because if the loose stools (after a week in, it’s already much better)
Win back my libido too.

I’m dealing with psoriasis at the very beginning of my hair line, and I’m wondering for those who’ve healed it, how and how long did it take? I like to wash my hair 2 times a week, so I’m not looking for the no wash kind of tips… but yes, if you’ve changed your shampoo, I’d like to hear to which one? And if it’s only with nutrition, even better!

Also have a small patch of eczema on my hand. And some melasma (which improved a lot from carnivore)

Thanks!

Parece mejorar varias patologías y si se hace de manera correcta no debería de haber ningun problema con ella... Lo que veo es que la gente en realidad no sabe hacerla bien (exceso proteico, grasas inadecuadas, desequilibrio de electrolitos etc). Que piensan al respecto? mi temperatura corporal es de 36.5-37C (incluso en ayuno ~16h)

Raspberries, blueberries etc are all very common on AB but they all have seeds which are the plants babies and usually protected.

So why are these fine to eat but not things like pumpkin seeds, squash seeds etc

I prefer butter over tallow although I like tallow as well, I’m curious though does cooking with the raw butter and exposing it to high heat basically pasteurize the butter thus killing all of the health benefits of it being raw and defeating the whole purpose? Just curious, thanks!

Howdy all! I know it sounds crazy but I’m motivated and want to open a restaurant as there are limited options that are seed oil free even in a more progressive and health oriented city. Would love to gain feedback from this community on things you look for in a restaurant or that you’d like to see. My main desires are; of course seed oil free, plastic free, prioritize sourcing from local regenerative farms, & high quality nourishing meals. I’ve seen Talo down in California and like their model but wanna do something a lil more eloquent & highlighting the produce here in the PNW.

I'm trying to be as strict as possible with the diet. However, I live in Scotland where raw dairy is illegal so had to get stuff shipped over from England.

Got my order through today but the raw a2 cheese didn't come. Will it make a big difference if I just eat goat cheese from supermarket or proper mozzarella instead?
