How do I start the diet?

[osteo]

Hey guys I’ve known about this diet for well over a year now but I never really wanted to try it out until recently

Can anybody tell me how to start this diet, how to transition into it, and what foods to prioritize?

[Rabbi]

I mean these are the main foods: raw meat, raw fat, raw organs, raw blood, raw dairy, raw marrow, raw eggs, raw glands.

if you want to start slow then eat lightly cooked food and then cook less and less.

but it depends what things you want to achieve and there we can know what to prioritize, if nothing particular then just those foods, eat as much or small amounts as you desire.

A very important thing that i rarely see brought up is to become fat adapted.
I struggled for almost 2 years to get on the diet because if I cut out bread and sugar I would become sluggish and light headed all day and wouldn't be able to function. Up until that point I was drinking soda and eating pasta every day with some meat, so I was heavily carb-adapted.
When carbohydrate-adapted the cells dont have enough mitochondria to generate energy from animal fat (from meat diet as well as autophagy) and have to build hundreds more mitochondria, and it takes a long time. Experts recommend that people slowly wean themselves onto a keto diet over the course of weeks or months to allow the cells to become adapted.
I didn't want to feel sluggish that long so I dry fasted for like two days, felt like death for a week, and got adapted much faster.
I am not recommending anyone do this because it is obviously extremely dangerous to force the body into a fast without preparation.
After being tired and light headed for a week and pushing through it I was starting to gain a lot of energy, i eventually had more energy and than when I was dependent on caffeine.
So if you feel tired and uncomfortable all day for a while it sucks but push through it and each day you will feel better.

@ruebezahl69 great point, the mitochondrial thing makes kinda sense.

@Rabbi
Right now I’m currently just trying to prioritize proper nutrition and growth during puberty (I’m 15). Should I make any adjustments?

[Rabbi]

@osteo Then just eat a lot raw milk and raw meat to grow your body and eat some raw organs too but its not needed for growth that much but maybe eat just raw liver, it already gives much, and is relatively easy to access.

@ruebezahl69
Yeah I’ve heard about people saying that animal and dairy fats should be your main energy source , but nobody ever talked about transitioning from a carb based diet.

I do sports during the day (swimming and tennis), do you recommend any good carb sources into transitioning or should I just drop the carbs? I don’t eat that many carbohydrates throughout the day besides a bit of sweet potatoes or grains. All of my meals already consist of mainly meat

[Rabbi]

@osteo Just eat a lot of raw honey (it has carbohydrates) and high-fat cream, it has so much energy.

@osteo I like bananas sometimes, theyre good for fast digesting carbs but don’t overdo it

Try to cut grains at first and focus on other root vegetables

[ruebezahl69]

@osteo yeah if you already eat mostly meat you should have an easier time than I did lol
