What is This Diet?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This diet is based on the diet of Dr. Paul Saladino which is known as an animal-based or carnivore diet with fruits. It focuses on high-quality animal products and selected fruits. I tried this diet and my health improved so I recommend it to you and it may work for you too. Mine has a few adjustments from what he suggested and I adapted it more to the Philippines. It also makes sense because as hunter-gatherers, meat and fruits seem to be the easiest foods for us to get. My own way of doing it is not perfect because sometimes I still eat rice with seasoning plants, but most of what I eat is as mentioned here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the main principles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Animal food:<\/strong> Focus on eating meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and organ meats. These foods provide important nutrients like protein, vitamins, and minerals. You can also eat honey and use that as a sweetener instead of processed sugar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Fruit food:<\/strong> Eat fruits that are high in nutrients. Just see what's available but eat all the fruits you can. I usually eat bananas, mangoes, papayas, watermelons, berries, avocados, and seasonal fruits (or whatever fruit is in season).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Eat root crops if necessary.<\/strong> Fruits are preferred, but if they are not very available or not ripe yet, you can eat root crops like sweet potatoes, gabi, or cassava to provide your carbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Avoid Plant Toxins:<\/strong> Avoid plant-based foods that are high in anti-nutrients and toxins, such as grains, legumes, and some vegetables. This also includes seed oils or oils derived from plant seeds (often called vegetable oils). This is because plants have many defense chemicals in these parts to protect themselves.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    So, let's avoid vegetables for now, especially so we can learn how our body feels without them. Then, add them slowly if you want, and be aware of the effects of each food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Make sure it's nutrient-dense:<\/strong> Eating fresh foods rich in nutrients to support overall health.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Avoid processed foods:<\/strong> Those that are already loaded with preservatives and full of ingredients that are hard to pronounce. This includes processed sugar in particular.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Replace rice, bread and noodles.<\/strong> This is probably the hardest thing for most people to do. But it's a big deal for our health. We should eat fruits or root crops instead of grains.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      How to Make It Practical in the Philippines:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      These are some suggestions on how to do this practically in the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Buying Meat:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Town Market:<\/strong> Buy fresh meat at your local market or from a trusted butcher. Look for grass-fed beef, free-range poultry, and wild-caught fish when available. The fresher and wilder the better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Supermarkets:<\/strong> Many supermarkets offer a variety of meats. Look for organic or pasture-raised options. The more natural, free of chemical pesticides and steroids, the better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Fruit Selection:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Seasonal Local Fruits:<\/strong> Choose fruits that are available and seasonal in the Philippines. For example, bananas, mangoes, papayas, avocados, watermelons, lanzones, rambutan, durian, jackfruit, and others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Imported Options:<\/strong> Occasionally, you can find berries and other recommended fruits in large grocery stores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Meal Planning:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                You can add snacks besides this. Then add sweet potatoes for a filling meal instead of rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Breakfast:<\/strong> Start the day with five eggs and a slice of liver, along with a mango.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Lunch and Dinner:<\/strong> Focus on a portion of meat (such as beef, chicken, or fish) with avocado.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Snack:<\/strong> Choose options like ground beef, scrambled eggs, or a piece of fruit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Cooking Method:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • Grilling and Roasting:<\/strong> Use grilling or roasting methods to prepare meats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Stir-Frying:<\/strong> For a different flavor, stir-fry meat with a little oil from butter or coconut oil. If you use oil, use butter, olive oil, coconut oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Avoid fake oil<\/strong> such as margarine, palm oil or seed oils (called vegetable oil in the Philippines).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • You can add a little herbs and spices as seasoning if you like. Just be careful if you have allergies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Raw or Lightly Cooked:<\/strong> You can try raw meats if you can, but they really need to be fresh. But I cook everything to make sure there are no parasite infections. But some people do it for maximum nutrient retention. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      1. Hydration and Supplements:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                          \n
                        • Water:<\/strong> Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Of course, to avoid dehydration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Supplements:<\/strong> Consider supplements like omega-3s, vitamin D, and magnesium if your dietary intake is not sufficient. However, organ meats often provide enough vitamins, especially if you exercise in the heat of the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Exercises:<\/strong> This diet will have a good effect especially if we exercise our body enough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                            \n
                          1. Enter in Budget:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                              \n
                            • Bulk Purchases:<\/strong> Buy meat in bulk to save money and freeze portions for later use. It's cheaper to buy in bulk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            • Local Produce:<\/strong> Choose local fruits to keep costs low while enjoying fresh, nutritious options. It's also better to support the local economy by sourcing your food closer to home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                              By following these guidelines, you can successfully implement Dr. Paul Saladino's diet in the Philippines, using local resources and foods to maintain a healthy and delicious eating plan. You don't have to be perfect with this diet, but try to follow it at least 50 to 80% in your diet. Or try it for a few weeks. You might even like how your body feels better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              In other words. No rice, bread, noodles or foods made from grains. No beans or vegetables either. Also try without seasoning or herbs first. Try eating mostly meat and fruits first. Eat more root crops than rice if you don't have much choice of fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              See how it affects your health. Try this diet for 2 to 4 weeks as much as possible. Then modify it to what you feel comfortable with for a long-term diet. It may or may not work for you. You will only know if you try it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              I pray for your health. God bless.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
