Gut biom, carnivore diet and anti inflammatory diets

[sinewave3]

For anyone interested I’m two weeks into my personal gut biom / anti inflammatory diet. I started out with only steak, beef or chicken liver, spinach and broccoli sprouts for week 1 and only steak for the first 3 days, I felt no different adding in the spinach and broccoli sprouts so I’m keeping them cause they’re nutrient rich. I’m now adding a new food every 3 days, this past week was yams, chicken hearts and two ingredient Greek yogurt (milk and honey). So far I’m feeling very good physically no aches upon waking up which is huge because usually I get up like a 80 year old man waiting for the joints to feel lubricated, I’m down a few pounds but that’s only because I did a hell day on Tuesday and did not take into account how many calories I used up because my meals were prepreped and I didn’t have time to cook anything else.


I’m now focusing on adding foods selectively so that I can have the most rounded diet possible but focused on only nutrient rich foods. Next on the list after I’ve given the yogurt a couple days is going to be apples then peanut butter so I have a high calorie easily digestible snack for days where I expend much more then usual. Any suggestions on nutrient rich whole foods that you chefs would think go nicely with my meals is more then welcomed

Berries could be a good addition. Other (preferably raw) nuts could be good. How is the peanut butter treating you? It can be a common source of a mold called aflatoxin that can be bad.

Coconut oil or quality olive oil could be a good easy source of calories too.

I should have mentioned I use an oil to cook with usually extra virgin olive oil. There’s no berries in season where I live so the berries in the grocery store look rough right now but that is a great idea for once they are more on season or go for the frozen big packs I guess. I do Adams peanut butter and it’s just peanuts and salt in the jar it’s been very good for my energy I switched to almond butter for this week though now just to see if it gives me any difference. Never heard of the mold in peanut butter I eat a lot so I should look into it

Spinach is supposedly tough on the gut due to defensive mechanisms it has unless cooked, same with Kale. Surprised the greens didn't bother you. I've been thinking about trying Vince Gironda's steak and eggs diet for similar reasons as you. For better healing, less inflammation, better gut health.

have you heard of this test? /smartgut.ubiome.com
its like a dna test for your poop. tells you what kind of gut flora you have, whats high and whats low. I did it last year
was low on anaerotruncus colihominis, lactobacillus, butyrivibrio. Was very high on dialister invisus.

So essentially you are supposed to take probiotics or eat foods that promote said bacteria to balance out?

Just because it takes a steak a while to digest, rarely 72hrs... That's a tremendous stretch, doesn't make it a bad thing. It's extremely nutrient dense, and extremely digestible. Far more digestible than vegetables, which is the reason they digest faster.

It is the best bang for your buck meat and or protein you could ask for.

Ya I’m looking into doing a poop test actually just working out a few other things before hand. I recently added in a probiotic drink half in the afternoon about 3 hours before my first meal and the other half after my last meal is done no reason to the times just when I’ve been doing it, I’ve noticed I poop without fail every morning now and quality poops not like before this diet, I have also been able to track my weight almost down to a T these past 2 weeks and could probably guess with good certainty how much I’ll weigh tomorrow exactly and next week even (so long as I don’t break diet of course) it’s been good and now I’m starting to reverse diet using this as well so more calories and hopefully add some muscle to the spots I’m going to be focusing in on next block.


I’m really digging this it has changed my mood the way I move how I feel during and after a meal it’s fantastic I highly reccomend everyone to a elimination diet and replenishing their flora. Do your own research and use your own regular foods though would be my suggestion but I would say start with something that you can eat exclusively for 3 days only at the beginning and add foods every other day I don’t think you need to wait 3-4 days like I have for each next ingredient as the end goal is eating as large of a varient of food possible. The one thing that set me off a few days ago was gluten (fuck) not in the way that I’m cyliac or gluten sensitive (a bitch) but more so the next day I was bloated and didn’t poop until after my meal that day which is about 12 hours later then usual.

What you guys don’t track your poop? How you gonna make poop gainz

72 hour processing of meat means you don’t shit for three days... unlikely.

Meat doesn’t sit in your gut while other food passes by in the intestine. That’s not how the alimentary canal works.

I get rid of super large pieces of meat the next AM and don’t even notice.

Big thing I recommend is Kefir. Not the stuff in bottles - that’s basically yogurt.

Having to shift my diet now got new that I got a new job and I need to start preparing for the training camp so I’ll be shifting this gut biom test over towards the keto side of the board now and have done the research for that so going to start with this as the main diet and expand from there:

Steak
Eggs
Spinach
Avacado
Nut butter
Brazil & pecan nuts
Liver
Kombucha (for fermentation to be drunken with each meal 250ml)
Broccoli sprouts

The only new foods to this is the nuts and eggs everything else I was already having and I know my body was working with so I’ll now continue on from here in keto 4:1 ratio fats to protein for a more nutritional style keto in a calorie surplus of about 200 calories. Switching to keto due to the endurance requirement and for a couple other special consideration for the job that keto specifically will help with, cognitive function being one I find it easier to study when running off of fats
