An animal-based diet is centered around
the most optimal foods for humans;
meat, organs, fruit, honey, and raw dairy.
These are the most nutrient-rich foods on the planet, long sought after by humans. By choosing these foods instead of sub-optimal foods like leaves, stems, roots and seeds, we can reverse and prevent disease, as well as unlock our most powerful forms.
(and other plant foods)
Think about it from a plants point of view: Plants can't run away or bite like animals, so they've had to develop defense chemicals to dissuade animals from over-consuming them. Plant leaves, stems, roots, and seed all contain these defense chemicals which can be harmful to humans.
Fruit is what plants want us to eat – so that we help themreproduce. That’s why they made their fruit both sweet and colorful, with far less defense chemicals than their leaves, stems, roots and seeds.

MEAT
For every 100lbs you weigh, aim for at least 1lb of meat per day.
Here’s how to calculate your optimal range:
RANGE | ||
---|---|---|
PROTEIN (G) | Goal body weight * 1g | Goal body weight * 1.2g |
MEAT (LBS) | Protein (g) / 100 | Protein (g) / 100 |
ORGANS
With liver, aim for 0.5oz daily (2-3 oz per week). Try to include an assortment of organs, including heart, testicl*, bone marrow, tripe, kidney, spleen, pancreas, brain, intestine, etc.
If you aren't ready for fresh organs, check out Heart & Soil Supplements for desiccated organs.
FRUIT AND HONEY (CARBS)
My recommendation for carbohydrates is based on your goal body weight and activity level:
Activity Level | Carbs (g) Low | Carbs (g) High |
---|---|---|
Low (0-3 hours) | Goal body weight * 0.7g | Goal body weight * 0.9g |
Medium (3-6 hours) | Goal body weight * 0.8g | Goal body weight * 1.1g |
High (6-12 hours) | Goal body weight * 1g | Goal body weight * 1.5g |
Very High (12+ hours) | Goal body weight * 1.2g | Goal body weight * 1.7g |
RAW DAIRY
Raw dairy has superior nutritional value in comparison to pasteurized dairy. If you're intolerant to lactose, try fermenting your dairy.
