How I Eat In a Day! 2021 Update

I split my time between Austin, Texas and Santa Teresa, Costa Rica right now and this is how I eat when I am here in Costa Rica...
Spending time here in the ocean (I surf everyday), sun, and warmth I can't help but think about how this is the climate humans evolved in...
Surrounded by myriad animals to hunt, bees with their hives and honey and many different types of fruit that come into season throughout the year...
Near the equator, food abounds in landscapes that have not been disturbed by human interventions, like monocrop farming...
I saw this when I was with the Hadza in Tanzania earlier this year, as well.
First and foremost, they are hunters. They literally live to hunt, speaking about it, dreaming about it and preparing for it constantly.
They also relish honey (which they are quite adept at finding) and fruit....
It's only when these more desirable foods aren't available that they turn to plant parts we might consider vegetables (leaves, stems, roots, seeds)...
My diet is now fairly consistent day to day, with a few ounces of organs either fresh or desiccated (from @heartandsoilsupplements), around 1g of protein/lb of body weight, fruit and honey...
I posted a photo taken yesterday earlier this week on here so you can see what my body composition is like right now.
I break all of this down in this video. I hope it's helpful for you guys! If you have more questions you can always email the team at Heart & Soil at [e-mail]

I'm 73, a carnivore and eat once a day until I'm full. Most days, that's nowhere near the amount you suggest, still, I live with robust health; kicked cancer and type two diabetes to the curb eating meat, eggs and water. I think eating should be simple, like breathing - just do it without much thought.

[@GDurango11]

Exactly, but you know, this world is run by money, they need to tell is this bullsh!t about 2 grams of protein per kg of weight and eating several times a day in order to make money, even with healthy foods. Humans really don't need to eat that much, just at the right time and the right foods.

@@GDurango11 Several meals a day raises C peptide levels, which eventually leads to insulin resistance. My dog eats one meal a day and so do I. Okay, my cows eat nonstop, but they weigh 1,200 pounds, but before they develop any diet-related issues, they're in a freezer!

[@jasontaylor500]

Siwy, good job getting over your diabetes and cancer. I am happy that you are healthy. However, I just want to be honest with you. My guess is that you were eating a (standard American diet (SAD)). This diet is in the bottom 10% of diets in the world. Now you are on the carnivore diet which is in the bottom 1/3 rd of all diets. As a result, you have seen improvements in your energy level and your blood sugars have stabilized since you most likely eat very little carbs. However, the saturated and trans fats in meat are high and are most likely going to become a large issue for you in the future. I would suggest that you switch out of this diet to a whole food plant-based diet. This diet has many benefits and would be happy to discuss them more with you. Please look at this video from Milton Mills if you want more reasons why a carnivore diet is not what you are supposed to be eating. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH6xYo2llMhqlaM

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

@@jasontaylor500 I'd be happy to investigate your clinical datum as regards your claims. That said, I was allergy tested and out of 103 known plant and animal toxins, I was violently allergic to 96, mostly plant allergens, mildly allergic to the remaining and not allergic to some tree, which grows in northern China. Plants and plant-based doesn't work for me. It may interest you to know, a good friend, a vegan for life, had amylochondliosus, a cancer in his lungs, which will kill him. It is directly csused by the lack of dietary animal protein.

I credit your book for becoming so slim. I'm 61 Y/O and I'm in the trucking business. Just 5 months ago I put a Crock Pot in my truck. I never eat before 11 am or after 5 pm. I eat Deer and Elk, I buy at Sprouts or Natural Grocers, that comes from NZ. Also eats lots of Beef Hearts and Liver. Have tried Kidneys a couple of times and Ox Tail. I still consume Miso, Sauerkraut, and Macadamians. Not much on fruit Blueberries occasionally. Monk fruit sweetener only, and after consuming Honey for many years I now prefer Maple syrup. Also after reading your book I dropped Himalayan salt and switched to Redmond Real.

Well that is Paul's N=1. My N=1 is that I moved to Hawaii after being carnivore for two years and started eating just like that for three years. I gained weight and the cancer that I had beaten 10 years ago came back again for a recurrence. Just because it is "natural" and "locally sourced" doesn't make it good for you. IMO, there is a big difference between having a few berries now and then and diving face first into 200 carb grams of tropical fruits and honey a day.

I am not sure if we actually have to find out what "works for us". if you are intolerant to foods like fruit, honey, etc, I think the solution begins with first realizing that 1. You're intolerant to that food and 2. That it's probably fixable (how?) because in many cases like this, it is seen that even when you exclude fruit and etc, limited only to the most primal part of our diet: Meat AND Organ meats. It is seen that when you do it long enough, then your body is able to handle Fruit, Honey, and of all quite well. For how long or if it's a long-term effect, I don't know. But doing so, adding in the Fruit, Honey, and Dairy (i guess), slowly.

[@beingfrank40]

[@ndt270]

Hi Paul, with all due respect, you're a young guy, very active, and your metabolism can handle the sugars from fruit and honey. As we age, our metabolism slows, we have less tolerance for carbs in general, and if we're in tune with our bodies and health, we adjust to dial back or eliminate these things. Having eaten lchf for many years (decades), I've discovered my "set-points" where I have started to gain weight, or my energy and vitality has declined. My suggestion to you would be to include the message that the way we eat and the way our bodies respond to various nutrients changes with age. When I was your age, I could eat anything and be filled with energy, but I'll be 68 in November, and I've learned to adjust what I eat to get the energy response I want and need, and to maintain my weight so that I can run the ridges and still bow hunt elk with my young hunting partners. Please consider including some guidance for those of us in different age groups so that people will understand that fruit and honey are not for everyone at every age in their lives. I want you to know how much I learned from your book, and I value your contributions. With that said, me and my bird dog will be out chasing Hungarian Partridge and Sage Grouse this morning, putting in our miles, and avoiding big old rattle snakes. Peace Brother...

[@abusumayah9540]

I disagree. I ate keto for like 2 years. It was great. However, I see absolutely no reason to restrict fruits. A lot of advocates of keto and carnivore have gone to extremes with this issue of insulin. Nobody said you have to eat outrageous amounts of fruit. I typically eat around 80 grams of carbohydrates a day. I think most people can handle a few pieces of fruit each day and a couple of cups of raw milk if they are not allergic to dairy. I do not see any logical reason not to. However, people have developed this obsession with constantly being in a state of ketosis.

[@RealTimeLeadGen]

Great info as always Paul thanks...I just got done listening to your latest podcast with the older interview with David Sinclair...great stuff. I was googling around to find out how much honey you were eating and found this vid...thanks for taking the time. I've learned tons from you the past year or so. More and more instead of getting into an argument with people I just simply invite them to google the name of the doc (or whatever other source of info) and see what they look like...and then tell me if they think they have any clue what healthy is.

I’ve always been lean and muscular (10% body fat), but when I increased my fructose intake from one banana a day to a couple more pieces of fruit a day in conjunction to a tablespoon of honey, my ha1c started to approach the prediabetes scale. FYI- I’ve always been metabolically heathy, but I don’t think fructose is good for everybody, Paul. My hepatic function was also elevated too, but went back down to normal when I took away excess fructose. Like I said, I think everyone is different.

[@carnivore-muscle]

This is an interesting anecdote. Would like to hear Paul's thoughts on this. All I can think of personally is that your metabolism isn't oxidizing fast enough to clear glucose in the presence of a carnivorous meal (particularly higher fat I.e. ribeyes or bacon etc). Hope you find a solution! Edit: a la Randle Cycle 1968...

[@kidpoker007]

Depends how old you, as we age our insulin just doesn’t work as well. And do you think primitive man had access to fruit everyday? Doesn’t most fruit have a growing season?

[@williamjohn8633]

I would like to hear Paul’s response, but I know he can’t med advice since I’m not his patient. I’ve heard many doctors argue that modern fruit has been hybridized for size and sugar content, which play a role in contributing to metabolic dysfunction. They also said that we’re designed to only eat in the warm season to put on weight for the winter. I can sort of concur with that based on my experiment

[@scoobybrew7915]

Agreed. If you're in your 20-30s, not obese, you can have fruit maybe. I'm in my 50s, was obese in my 40, normal now. No fruit or honey for me.

[@BocusVeLucy]

Your cells have so much lipids then. Fructose metabolize in the liver and turns to glucose like molekules and fat. It doesn’t spike insulin but glucose does. Your problem is not banana, your problem is lipids in your cells which interrupt insulin receptors. Meat is not human food, humans are frugivore. We don’t have large canine tooth, claws, strong acid production in stomach (That’s why people suffer from acid reflux, ulcers etc.) We should eat fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts. Also vitamin B12 since it is produced by bacteria if you are consuming very steril foods and water.

150 to 200 grams of carbs a day? This kind of blows me away. Obviously you are ultra fit and active. You primary job is your health and fitness, where most of us have much more complicated lives. I am mid sixties, own a business, and do as much as I can to stay healthy. I am not out surfing in Costa Rica. No way will I eat that many carbs, no matter what the source or matrix. Eating low carb has been a game changer for me. I'm eating carnivore for a while to do a reset and drop a bit of weight. That has virtually eliminated my joint pain. Again, a big eye opener. Eventually I will reintroduce other things like a few berries, mushrooms, low inflammation vegetables etc. I appreciate the work you do. I have your book on order. I follow your podcasts and those of others. My position, honestly, is that I am just as competent at creating my own diet as any expert. Every single thing is recommended in one camp and demonized in the next, and all supported by studies. In some cases the claims swap back and forth. When I hear that a carnivore advocate is eating this many carbs, I just slump into my chair. I'm doubling down on avoiding processed food, wheat products, and excessive carbs. After that, I feel the best authority on what I need is my own body. Some things like jalapenos, you will have to pry from my cold dead fingers. I'll find a study to justify it. Try something,...listen,...repeat.

[@stevetaylor3273]

Great video!! Thanks for the upload Paul! Was curious as to whether you were concerned about combing fruit with meat in same meal so this explains it. Just wanted to add my own experience with a meat and fruit diet about 8 years ago as it may help some people. Felt incredibly cleansed and healthy and looked great. As I was training really hard doing bodybuilding/powerlifitng 6 days a week I noticed my sex drive went down significantly. One day I decided to have 1 cup of oats and got an instant hard on after weeks of struggling lol. One piece of advice I would offer to anyone training hard physically and may be experiencing symptoms of decreased libido is that you may benefit from a small amount of starchy carbs in your diet along with what Pauls eating. Something like white rice or sweet potato if you tolerate it. If you're feeling great then by all means don't change a thing! This diet is great. (Also need to mention that the meat I was eating was quite lean so definitely wasn't eating enough animal fat which also has a very positive effect on libido).Thanks again Paul

Hey Paul. Please help me understand this: I read in Voleks book that fructose goes straight to the liver and is converted into fatty acids. I would assume that honey and fruit don't aid in muscle glycogen replenishment. Is this your understanding? Also do you eat cheeses?

I want to perform better but have been keto for 3 years. I keep up very well at Crossfit with my peers but I am entertaining the thought of adding in carbs like you have. Did you notice a performace boost? and if so how? since fructose doesnt aid in muscle glycogen replacement.

No, don't do it. Just keep in mind, the only carb u can eat are the ones that provides calories above your daily metabolic rate.

Carbs to me is like active fuel; it should never have a part in basic daily needs.

mega bananas, unlimited supply of honey, abundance of fruit. Seems like Paul can only sustain this by doing a lot of activity every day. for the average sedentary person that type of diet seems would cause weight gain. Though for high performance athletes (like paul) on a keto/ carnivore diet, adding in fruit for performance seems fine.

He has fully explained why all protein and fat wasn't ideal, a couple of years into pure carnivore. The fruit and honey has given him electrolytes, which he realised was the missing piece of the puzzle for feeling his best.

I left your channel months ago after a 60 days by the book pure carnivore, organs (raw liver) 100% grass finish etc etc. I felt miserable after 4 weeks but i did push to the full 8 weeks. It was tolerable, just no way it was a good life experience. After studying continuous glucose meters, I now know some like you will thrive on a 150ish grams of carbs while other will be ok in the 50 to 80g. The real answer is in the our genetic code, most importantly polymorphies. So thank you for making me understand that I did good following my instinct going back adding some oranges and most importantly, totally breaking the ketones production 2 or 3 times a month with some clean carbs.

@Paul Saladino MD Do the meats have to be lean though - the choice between eating lean meats and fruit vs. fattier meats and limited carbs to not store dietary fat? And would there be a conflict too if you were eating these things in smaller amounts multiple times per day being that chronic insulin spikes are culprit to artery issues? So would have to eat lean meats twice a day to enjoy the sugary fruits?

The main point is to not consume excess fats and carbs together. If you're eating more carbs then lean meat would be the better choice.
