Notes about this video. Download the Weekly Meal Plan Template: lauratry.gumroad.com/l/high-protein-meal-plan 1. I’m not taking any protein powders, because Phil was keen for me to get it all from meat and fish, mainly because of the amino acid balance and health benefits. If I needed to make the plan more affordable, protein powders could be an option. 2. Bryan Johnson’s health regime fascinates me. He is at the top of his game for health and longevity, yet eats a vegetarian diet, similar to how I used to eat, yet I was in a terrible state! Then I realise he is throwing $2m at his health a year - has it monitored on a daily basis, gets regular blood tests, and takes dozens of supplements to potentially fill in the gaps that his meal plan is missing (I don’t know that as fact, but just a guess). As well, it may make a difference (but I’m not sure) being male and his body's ability to build and sustain muscle may be different to mine, but I don’t know. It’s tricky when we have access to so many people's lives online, sharing what they eat, and then we think “I’m going to give that a go” yet we don’t their biological makeup, deficiencies, hormonal balance, requirements etc. It makes me realise there is no "one-size-fits-all.” Either way, this meal plan is the best I can do with the time, money and resources I have available to me. And I honestly feel like a brand new person to the one I used to be because of it. So maybe it shouldn’t be carnivore vs plant vs keto vs fasting vs XYZ, this is about finding a good meal plan for us as individuals. As Wayne Norton says “there are no solutions, only tradeoffs.” The one thing Bryan Johnson and I have in common is using our blood work results, food, exercise and supplementation to improve our health. 3. If you want your bloods tested and analysed to show what you need and should eat, I highly recommend Phil: bit.ly/Phil-Richards (he hasn't asked me to write that, I want to write it, as what he does is phenomenal!) His tests are offered in the UK, Ireland, Europe & Dubai. Those outside those countries: get a private comprehensive blood (and stool test) and Phil will analyse the results (search online consultation on his site) If you have any Qs, get in contact with Phil and they can help. 4. I spoke about food in the video, but I didn’t mention drink. In the morning I drink one green tea, and throughout the day I drink water, herbal tea and hot water with fresh lemon and lime slices. As well as the berry vinegar and sparkling water I mentioned in the video. During weight training sessions I drink an amino acid drink, and electrolyte powder during sauna sessions. I don’t drink sodas, juice, squash or alcohol as they don’t make me feel good. 5. The daily calories were around 1,400 calories a day, which was probably a calorie deficit. This was to encourage my body to burn the excess body fat. Even though I was in a calorie deficit, I didn’t really get hungry as my body was getting lots of nutrients. If, for example, I had eaten 1,315 calories of ultra-processed, high carb and fat foods I’m absolutely sure I wouldn’t have felt the same and would have felt hungry. Calories in calories out is important but it’s also not everything. And please bear in mind that this plan and the daily calories were designed specifically for me with my goals, health and activity levels in mind, based on my blood and stool test results. I hope you found this video interesting and valuable 🙏

Great video! Yes Bryan Johnson was getting extra testosterone shots to supplement the lacking hormones due to his calorie deficit and lacking protein. I think he recently mentioned he no longer needs it but he still takes hundreds of supplements a day, as per his website. Your diet seems quite reasonable in comparison.

Hi Laura Im a 62yr old woman, and when i hit 61yrs, 18months ago, i also started weight training about 5 times per week, and i upped my protein intake and basically cut the crap you know you shouldnt eat. After 6mths, i had lost 2stone, and in the last year i have lost 1.5 stone, a total of 50lb now. A big difference for a 4'10" woman. I look and feel much better, even my feet and fingers have gone back to their pre-fat years size. (Im not Keith)

Yes for this exact reason is why I follow this channel. You give it a fair shake. I can’t stand the “I ate like a bodybuilder for one day” videos.

[@Haexxchen]

The length argument is a really good one. People trying a special det for only a few days will feel miserable. They won't get any knowledge from it, just torture themselves for likes.

[@HeadCannonPrime]

As a pre-diabetic bodybuilder I have been eating like this for about 5 years. It has reversed my pre-diabetic condition. Another thing you can try is actually eating MORE meals per day. There is no rule that you have to eat 3 times if you get super hungry between lunch and dinner, you CAN insert another meal there. I actually eat 5 meals with the last being a slow acting protein like casein from cottage cheese or a protein shake. Sometimes you can actually lose fat by eating more meals! Another thing you might try is moving your weight training to the end of the day. Even if you are tired, you may find you can lift WAY more weight than in the morning. I make that same exact coleslaw and dressing and eat it ALL THE TIME. Its really great. I know you are English but for the love of god, put some spices on that chicken! Hot sauce is a bodybuilder's best friend.

I've just come across your page and have to say, I'm absolutely BOWN AWAY by your content. You're genuine, warm, and knowledgeable. I really love the way you're sharing your journey and are open to improving yourself, even if that means changing beliefs and behaviors you once deemed to be "right". I feel this is what the journey of being human is all about: having the humility to try things and expand your knowledge base. I was a vegetarian, turned vegan, turned fruitarian, intermittent fasting, detox-addicted health enthusiast for most of my life. Quit meat at around 12yrs of age after befriending a pig that ended up on a roast for our easter meal. lol After eating only fruits and leaves left my hair falling out in clumps and my body diminishing I decided to "prove" that it couldn't be because I hadn't eaten meat. I prepared 1/2lbs of beef and ended up eating it all. I've been trying to figure out this whole low carb high protein thing while feeding my 2 year old toddler and this meal plan and video are gold, err PLATINUM (lol)! Thank you for taking the time to create this content and pdfs. Cheers for being brilliant and selling your pdf. I'm happy to support someone who is actually doing the research and cares about how her content is being received. I saw your video on fasting and knew I liked you the moment you explained why it was important for you to highlight it should not be based solely on weight lose. Keep inspiring! Your mum is a charm too!

[@Paulo-nf7ms]

I needed this. I've been in a vicious cycle of slight depression lead to poor eating habits which was then further destroying my lifestyle and mood. I've always been someone to bounce between extremes on eating and exercise and could feel a turning point coming. I feel I can anchor to this video as that turning point and I love the look of this meal plan, along with the really practical tips on preparation. Thank you Laura.

You can just get your diet in line and wait to get your labs once you get in the rhythm and flow. ❤

[@Barb6106]

I just found this channel and video.. so grateful!!! I needed a few tweaks of my eating and this was extremely helpful! I had been vegan for 25 years.. sadly ignored the information about vegans being more prone to osteoporosis ..and in Oct of 2022 was diagnosed. Sigh. One day I watched a KZbin video of Dr Robert Lustig on sugar..sent me into watching and off I went! Lol I cut every bit of ultra processed food, added sugar, alcohol. Started reading about the dangers of muscle wasting as you age (I was 75)and necessary higher protein as you age. I added it all… meat, fish, eggs .. but kept VERY low carb ( no rice, potatoes, bread, flour at all) I do eat only whole fruit. I do eat prunes which were shown to be good for osteoporosis. I do have no sugar yogurt sometimes.. I stick to the “no food after 6 pm” rule ( I set an alarm for 5 to remind me to get my dinner in)..and eat breakfast about 8am (I’m up at 5… relax then go for a 7500 step walk). All I can say is I wish I knew I could feel like this years ago. I’m a new person! My energy! I’m thin and didn’t want to loose weight, but I did loose 3 lbs this year. (I’m 5’4” now 117 lbs.) I lift weights at home and use body resistance etc. I live over an hour from any gym and that is just not something I want to do with the cost of gas in California! I follow along with several physical therapists exercise routines for osteoporosis on KZbin and take the appropriate supplements. This has been an incredible journey. I’m certainly not happy to have osteoporosis, but it did send me on a path much better nutrition incredible strength. Thank you for this very uplifting video. I hate gadget, it looks like an air fryer is going to have to be one of the Christmas gifts I buy myself! Lol . Very inspirational. Thank you so very much for this channel! I’m going to be watching more of the videos later!

Hi Laura, very interesting video. If I understood correctly, the eating plan you showed us is not the definitive one, just the one you were recommended in order to recuperate your nutritional deficiencies and build more muscle mass. It would be very interesting if you could make another video (within a few months time) showing what the eating plan for the maintenance phase is and what role carbs and plant based proteins will play in it. I am also curious about whether or not you may have thought that the (mostly) vegetarian plan you were following before was the issue per sé, or whether it was rather the combination of intermittent fasting (and possibly two meals per day) plus poor protein intake that could have caused your nutritional deficiencies. Keep up the good work! Cheers from Holland :)

The issue is fructose because it's processed in the liver which then makes too much ureic acid. Glucose isn't an issue because that goes straight to the blood.

Hi Laura. I'm 65 now. I cut right down on carbs about 10 years ago when looking for solutions to a very bad (sometimes crippling and almost suicidal) anxiety phase (it ran from my mid 40s to mid 50s). I started by removing bread then, due to feeling an improvement, quickly followed with all grains (cereals, pasta, pizzas, etc.). I honestly felt like I was ageing backwards! Since then, I have found that I have gradually lost almost all inclination to even eat even vegetables and fruit. I have some occasionally and probably eat some form of legumes once a week or so (peas are a favourite). Other than that, mostly red meat, fish, eggs, chicken breast, high fat cheese (extra mature cheddar, parmesan) and full fat plain cottage cheese. The fats I use are almost all animal, mainly beef dripping and butter, but with occasional olive oil. I can't imagine ever changing as I feel very good eating like this. Obviously, I can't put the end of my problem anxiety down to just food as I have also worked on changing my outlook and my life circumstances in general have gradually changed but the food has definitely helped I'm sure.

Sounds like an amazing transformation! Interesting you say that you can’t put the end of your problem with anxiety down to just food. I follow Dr Anthony Chaffee, a neurosurgeon who advocates Carnivore/Primal eating and it’s incredible reading the comments from people who have completely overcome their issues with anxiety and depression. It seems that it really is the food first…all the best 😊

[@joevans5713]

@@michelles2299Not necessarily- there are many people who have been eating a primal/ancestral/carnivore diet for years - even decades. They have reversed obesity and processed-food driven disease states, and appear to have reversed and/or slowed the aging process in their bodies. They have lost significant amounts of fat, especially visceral fat, have normalised their lab results and have gained muscle mass and strength with relatively little effort. This includes people in their 60s, 70s and 80s and is all done on zero or near zero carb intake. Carbohydrates are not needed as the body converts the excess protein they eat into carbohydrate (glucose and glycogen) in a metabolic process called gluconeogenesis. It is amazing to read these anecdotes across numerous forums and platforms. It would be more amazing to see randomised, double-blind studies on these types of metabolically damaged people before and after they embark on this lifestyle to document it scientifically. Sadly there is zero financial gain, incentive or profit to be had to initiate such a trial, if the results were to support the anecdotal evidence. In fact the cost to the modern medical machine would be enormous if people were able to heal themselves by eating a proper human diet. We each must take our health into our own hands and be certain that the authors of health studies and information do not have any conflicts of interests or coercion, to realise a particular result. Unfortunately greed is a great motivator.

IF assists in losing muscle? Do you know how much?

[@artstudiogirl784]

@@Sonbiii My understanding is just that IF makes it difficult to eat enough protein throughout your eating window. That’s what Ive found. I’ve now gone back to 3 meals a day rather than 2 for most days of the week. Still trying to keep my eating window at 8 hours. I really think it’s helping.

[@melodyguy4252]

I would call this diet intermittent fasting - it's a 10 hour eating window with a 14 hour fast. The average person eats in a 15 hour eating window which only allows a 9 hour fast and that's not healthy. I think you just play around with what works for you. The evidence on healthy eating is not currently that clear once you get to this point (it's clear on things like cutting out junk food), it's very confusing. I reduced my fasting window to this (8-6 eating window) because I want to have protein immediately after my morning workout - the studies seem to support eating protein within an hour of working out if it's in a fasted state as being important for building muscle. Some studies also suggest that we should consume more of our calories in the morning. My sister is a doctor and has a patient who does a 5 day fast every 6 months which gets his high blood pressure back to normal without medications. He's otherwise fit and healthy, it's just genetic.

On a side note, your friend with gout that "can't eat red meat"; that's not necessarily the case. There is a compilation of stressors that affect gout. If he cut out sources of fructose and alcohol, it's likely that red meat wouldn't be an issue, which is a common experience in the low carb/keto/carnivore communities.

100% true. Coffee contributes to gout as well.

Results are amazing Laura and I'm so glad mama Try is also benefiting from the nutrition/food plan. (I try and avoid the word diet for it's negative connotations and idea that it is restricting) The more I learn about nutrition, the more I end up with the belief that humans are weird and that we all respond differently based on genetics, gut biome, lifestyle, environment and other factors - so there is no "one plan to rule them all". For affordability - I notice a lot of your meat and veg is pre-packed in single portions and from a supermarket. Buying larger amounts from say a butcher and a greengrocer or local market may net some savings - at least in my experience. And for work - food is pre-cooked and heated in the microwave. Your plan seems a little low in calcium? I've actually started having more dairy as I passed 50, to help with bone density and supplement the weight training regime. I've also been adding beetroot to my diet for the supposed benefits to blood, exercise performance etc. I do supplement with some protein powder (12g) and creatine (3g) daily - on top of what I consider to be a decent meal plan. I keep it under control though as there is nothing worse than feeling that you are pouring most of that money (literally) down the toilet. Can't wait to see the before and after blood test results.

[@LauraTryUK]

wonderful comment, thanks Frankie, and also for your ongoing support. I like the idea of bulk buying but we have a small freezer, perhaps I can do it in the future. Calcium - I'm going with what Phil has recommended, I trust he checked my blood results and has designed the plan accordingly. New plan has plenty of tinned fish though (small bones = calcium) Beetroot is on the new plan Roll on the 12 month update video!

Yeah, it's telling when healthy human stomach acid is as high as a seagull or crow, expecting to eat meat that isn't even fresh. More acidic than most hunting carnivores.. our brain evolved as learned to hunt and step up the food chain despite our body. We lost our cebum (appendix) for getting inefficient energy from fibre like primates do. It's pretty clear that We've been relying on meat for at least as long as we've been human. Random edible "vegetables" have always been gathered as well - hunters and gatherers.

I’m on this lifestyle for over 3 years. First I counted all the macros for over 4 months. Now I eat intuitively but still got around 20g proteins in every meal. I eat everything, but some things (like crisps) in moderation. I also quit alcohol 1,5 y ago and it was big gamechanger in my life 🙏🏻I’m more into triathlon than weights 🤩but every sport is great.

I am 69 years/o female, tall, fit and healthy living in southern Australia (born here, had English parents)I walk every day and now that the weather is starting to warm up shall resume cycling on my push bike.

Good for you Laura! I just came across your channel and I really like your honesty and your a genuine good person. I totally understand your transition to high protein as i had the same issue. I wasn't really thinking about my total daily protein intake and many times i would have a coffee for breakfast and wait for lunch and still had the fat around the waist. I thought by fasting it would make me lean and loose my stomach. Now i have 2-3 eggs with a slice of good quality bread and half an avocado for breakfast and i feel great. It keeps me going till lunch where i will have meat or fish along with veggies. Its a process and working out with weights on a regular basis is the key. Your feeding your muscles and and you can see your body transitioning to being leaner and more muscular while loosing fat in the right spots.

Pushing 40 here. I was a vegetarian for 18 years. Vegan for a huge part of that. I was dealing with so many health issues, including severe chronic fatigue. Once I started shifting my diet to a protein focus, with animal proteins, and whole foods, and at the time I was focusing on a low-carb diet. I started feeling so much better. Energy, everything. I’m now eating more carbohydrates. But I am not going back to my vegetarian way. And protein has changed my mental and physical well-being. I feel guilty, sometimes for the amount of protein that I consume compared to what I used to. But I’m not sure which is a heavier price to pay. health/environment. Both are pretty big. But, I really focus on all the other ways that I can reduce my carbon footprint now. I simply cannot go back to the way I was before.

Hey Carrie, thanks for your concern. I trust Phil compared my blood test results of calcium to the meal plan. I checked my stats and I am getting enough. I will include in the 12 month update video.

@carrie20074: you can get your daily calcium also with broccoli, spinach or barley grass powder. And it's not only the calcium you need to keep your bones strong. It is also very important to get enough vitamin D3 (sun exposure during summertime and supplements during winter) plus enough stimulation (running, swimming f.a.).

Remember that bone is over half protein! And you need to give your body a reason to make more bone, and that's what muscle building exercise is for. The body isn't stupid, it knows that for bigger muscles it needs stronger bones. I would personally add some cheese or plain Greek yogurt for some extra calcium and possibly k2

Hello, from Ontario, Canada. Been watching some of your videos and pretty impressed how you like to try new things! Keep it up! :)

Many people don't have the luxury of eating same things every week. I can't afford beef, lamb, fish, tomatoes, broccoli or cauliflower every week, and especially not multiple times a week. I mostly eat what is the most affordable at the moment or what is in season, so the portions can never be consistant.

Possibly try cheaper cuts of meat, mince ( ground) etc

[@bqgin]

@@RPaton ground meat has more fat content therefore more calories and less protein

Chicken thighs are pretty cheap. Buy in bulk and freeze.

I went ahead and got the template, mainly because since I've become conscious of my own health i've lost 20 pounds - just from stopping sugar and so many refined products! I'm 72! I'm grateful for your knowledge.

Just one thing, do you realize that meat isn't just protein right? It is also a nutrient dense food, too, the only other food that would be more nutrient dense would be heart and liver. Meat with its complete protein and highly bioavailable nutrients is what is now allowing you to build muscle and lose weight more effectively.

Ha, judging by the quality of meats she’s eating i’d imagine she’s aware. she says 0:55 that she switched to more meat to fix deficiencies

I like eggs for breakfast.

Thank you, this is very informative and certainly gave me a new direction, IF for a year and lost too much weight and muscle loss 😢 in my seventies and trying to rebuild myself.

The environmental issues surrounding meat consumption are far less than the plant based option. Ask any farmer, any forester, any tribal people living off the land. Sorry, rant over.
