Microblog: Meat-Based Diet – What to Eat

Sample of what to eat on a meat-based diet.

🦓Aged meats usually are higher in histamines or can cause more histamines to release in the body.

🧬Histamines are chemicals created in the body that is released by white blood cells into the blood when the immune system is defending against a potential allergen.

šŸ’”If you are trying a meat-based diet to eliminate some of your allergy and autoimmune symptoms, it’s better to remove foods with higher histamine counts while you heal the gut.

⛑I talk about histamine intolerance and the critical importance of healing the gut in @carnivorecure. Reducing high histamine foods is a bandaid (but necessary initially) but the root cause is to heal the gut.

🌟Healing the gut will allow your immune system to handle more histamines. Of course this is bioindividual but most people can get better.

šŸ„›Dairy can have histamines and the pasteurized forms aren’t as ideal. Raw dairy is optimal because it is more nutrient-dense, supports gut-healing and has all the natural enzymes intended to be in dairy.

🐟Try fish eggs, as they are nutrient-powerhouses. Salmon roe is one of my favorites but it’s an acquired taste. All eggs are nature’s perfect food.

šŸ³You may need to do yolks only initially if you can’t tolerate eggs as most of the sensitivities are in the egg white proteins.

🄩If you only prefer muscles meats, that’s perfectly fine. We don’t need to count and measure every single nutrient to make sure we are eating optimally.

🚨If we don’t eat the way conventional dietitians recommended, maybe we don’t need to follow their Recommended Daily Allowances. (I do keep an eye on the excessive ones though…)

šŸ§‚Monitor your electrolytes and salt consumption. You need more salt on a meat-based diet, especially if you’re new. We don’t retain as much water without carbs. You will feel the effects of mineral imbalances quickly.

šŸ’¦Try sole water in the mornings https://www.nutritionwithjudy.com/balancing-electrolytes-blood-pressure-and-sole-water-recipe/

šŸ’”If anything, removing all processed vegetable oils, packaged carbs and grains. Removing these basics can go a long way.
