Yesterday I called my butcher, "Vince" and asked him to prepare the usual. Aussie grass fed Beef Striploin cut into 1kg pieces and vacuum sealed. "How much this time, 10kg?". "Nah freezer is full of cheese, no room, better give me 8kg" I told. him.
This morning after meeting a friend for coffee, I went to pick it up, 8.68kg - I had to go the ATM and get some more cash out.
All good though, because that red cooler-bag in the photo carries my all my food for next 9 - 10 days, more if I end up eating out for a meal or two. Thats it, (I forgot to buy shaving cream, but I can use soap anyhow), no need to go food shopping again for over a week. Saves a lot of time and petrol.
There were 8 packs of beef, each weighing about 1.08kilograms, I will plop one of those, still in the bag into my sous-vide cooker - straight from the freezer.
I am currently cooking at 60 degrees Celsius for about 4 hours + 20 minutes if the meat is frozen when I put it in.
When the meat comes out of the cooker, I cut the corner off of the bag and pour all the precious juices and fat into a cup and just drink it right away - tastes like bone broth, but even better. Then I slice all the meat and put it into that glass tray, there is normally about 150gm that does not fit and I eat that on the spot, the rest goes into the fridge.
There is very little washing up, only the cutting board, the glass tray + lid and the knife and fork - once a day.
I have not been exercising, barely moving at all this year - so I am not very hungry and the meat is very satisfying. When I get hungry I take that glass tray out and eat until full again. I am not really paying attention to how much I eat, but a tray will last me just over a day now. I add Himalayan salt to taste, if I do not add the salt after a few days I get muscle cramps in my toes. I suspect the coffee I drink in the first half of each day is messing with my electrolyte balance, but its worth it and adding this mineral salt seams to fix it.
I have been eating like this for over a year now, sometimes I go crazy and eat pizza or ice cream or potato chips but not very often. When I do allow myself to eat carbohydrates it can take weeks to stop craving them and get them out of my system again. 3 days with zero plants, (apart from coffee) and the cravings are gone again, but once I let carbs back in, it can be hard to do those 3 straight days.
When I do return to just meat (and a spoon of ghee in the mornings and here and there) I always feel my best and my skin is most happy too. However, plants are yummy and I miss eating more interesting and social meals, so I still do eat them occasionally.
When I was testing this diet, I was very strict for many months to find out if I needed to eat plants - I dont, not at all. They add no benefit at all. Crazy what we are taught, so much nonsense. For anyone who has any health issues, dropping plants from the diet for a few months may be the easiest fix, especially for heart disease and diabetes.
Anyhow, you'd be crazy to take my word for it, best do your own research, speak with other carnivores and try for yourself.
Here you can download a great read called the Stone Age Diet - written in 1975 by Dr. Walter L. Voegtlin, this is the only link I could find that allows you to get it for free.
Be good..
