Hey Heart & Soil Tribe,
An animal-based diet might be simple, but it isn’t always easy.
Because at every turn there’s critics and temptations.
Your doctor thinks you’re crazy…
Your family send you “concerned” texts about the dangers of all that beef you’re eating…
Then life gets crazy, stress hits, and suddenly those old habits start looking real friendly again…
We get it.
We’ve helped thousands make this transition.
And here’s the truth:
Animal-based isn’t just another “diet” – it’s your path to Radical Health.
That’s why we’re sharing our 8 top secrets to help you stick with animal-based forever:
#1 Know your why ❤️
Having a strong and clear reason for doing animal-based is essential, especially when things get challenging. Identify your why and write it down!
Maybe your why is to heal an autoimmune condition or to lose weight…
Or to show up for your family every day as the healthiest, happiest and strongest version of you possible.
#2 Eat enough 🍽️
You don’t need to be hungry on an animal-based diet.
So long as you focus on high quality animal-based foods, and prioritize protein, you can eat until you are full.
Many people struggle with cravings, and the solution is to eat more. Especially high-quality protein 🥩
Aim for 0.8-1.0g of protein per pound of ideal body weight.
#3 Go all in for 30 days 💪
This is an important one. In order to truly see the benefits of an animal-based diet, it’s worth going ALL IN for at least 30 days.
This gives enough time for meaningful changes in how you look, perform and feel. It also allows you to stack up some quick wins and create momentum that will propel you forward.
#4 Communicate with family and friends 🙂
Family and friends can be your greatest support, or your biggest barrier.
That’s why we believe having an open and honest conversation with them is important.
Tell them you are doing animal-based to prioritize your health. If they express doubts or concerns, tell them a little about it.
Let them know you are experimenting for 30 days and will share your results with them.
#5 Find a meal you love and eat it every day 🥩
While there are many amazing animal-based meals you can eat, if you find something you really enjoy, don’t be afraid to eat that same meal every day.
This is what we do and it keeps things simple, nutritious and delicious.
Just don’t forget to include the most nutritious part…organs!
If you like them fresh, great! Otherwise, we’ve got you covered 💪
#6 Find a movement you love and do it every day 🏋️♀️
Okay so not strictly diet related, but movement is SO important.
Regular exercise will improve your motivation, reduce stress and boost your mood, making it easier to enjoy eating animal-based.
The type of movement you do isn’t as important as just doing some sort of movement every day.
Find something you love, and make it a part of your life so that it not only sets you up for long-term health, but long-term happiness too!
Some examples include walking, weightlifting, pickup basketball, yoga and tennis.
#7 Make a plan 🗓️
Everything in the world today is set up for convenience at the cost of quality.
And if you don’t make a plan, then you will end up sacrificing the quality of your food for the conveniently available processed foods at every corner.
So at the start of your week, stock up on your favorite animal-based foods.
Grab the raw milk from the farmer’s market…
Make sure the ground beef is thawed for dinner…
And whatever you do, don’t run out of organs.
#8 Don’t be obsessed with perfection 🎯
An animal-based diet is not a religion, nor a life sentence.
And while some people will choose to move the needle closer to perfection than others, true perfection is unattainable and only leads to self-imposed failure and stress.
The goal here is not perfection. The goal is to live the highest quality, most radical life possible, filled with health and happiness.
We hope these tips help make animal-based enjoyable and sustainable for you.
Stay Radical!
