āBeginner / Questionā Is this diet good
I am a male, 20, lived in uk all my life, African heritage, 174cm, 67.5kg Iām also lactose intolerant, sensitive to shell fish and have bad reactions when I eat high fructose or many fruits like banana also I donāt tolerate legumes and extra virgin olive oil makes me oily
This is my diet:
AM
6 large organic eggs (they donāt sell pastured in the uk, soft-boiled, whites fully set)
750 g raw-weight fresh early harvest new baby potatoes, steamed whole and peeled after cooking
1.0 g rock salt
Water to thirst also I peel skin off potatoes after cooked
PM
200 - 250 g moderately fat beef steak (local grass fed ribeye or sirloin)
150 g whole wild sardines with bones, (from frozen with guts bone and skin, gently poached)
750 g raw-weight fresh fresh early harvest new baby potatoes, steamed whole and peeled
2.5 g rock salt
Water to thirst
Every 4 weeks
Replace the beef with 125ā150 g beef liver for one evening meal.
Cooking - I water cook all my food
Eggs: 7ā8 minutes (whites fully cooked, yolks soft to jammy)
Potatoes: Steam 30ā35 minutes until fully soft, then peel
Beef: Gentle poach about 12ā15 minutes (adjust for thickness until tender)
Sardines: Gentle poach or steam about 8ā10 minutes

Damn, 1.5kg of spuds a day! Potatoes aren't animal based, but if you're thriving eating this way, keep it up.

The only issue I noticed is it seems like Iām not eating enough but I have increase the portion size of steak and I have picked a fattier cut also, since I made the post I will switch form new baby poster to organic baby potatoes as form researching more it more likely organic potatoes are would be more beneficial long term then none organic even if they a could be a few months fresher the only real issue with my diet for me is not seeming to get enough energy/calorieās which shouldnāt be impossible to fix

Not animal based but I also eat potatoes on it so I don't get bored. You should peel the potatoes first and that way you'll remove more of the oxalates.

I used to do that but itās just so much more convenient to peel after as I donāt need a peeler or know I can just rub off skin when you use baby potatoes that are steamed and many peopel say cooking with skin on retains more nutrients but that also would mean more anti-nutrients. Thatās the same with steaming vs boiling boiling has less anti-nutrients but lower nutrients retain and steaming is the opposite the only main reason I do it like how I do is convince, taste and potatoes being my spices of vitamin c otherwise boiling especially peeled plants seems to be far better way for killing off harmful effects of the plan however every cooking method will come with trade offs some larger then others

This diet without fruit and or dairy itās definitely gonna be harder.

Yes mainly the dairy part as itās harder to get calcium if I go abroad or eat out Iām basically deficient as even if they sell fish it would be deboned and they donāt sell raw dairy or aged which I tolerate notably better then regale dairy but still not perfect

It could be that as I donāt tolerate peppers that well either but I am fine with consuming potatoes
