 Here in New York. It is a fairly gloomy day outside, which means Can't really barbecue and you know, we don't want to cook inside and smoke out the house That makes it a perfect day for a raw carnivore day of eating today I welcome all of you raw tards to the sacred ritual of not cooking your food for those of you guys that haven't seen my raw versus cooked and Various other days of eating. I do explain the main benefits of raw versus cooked foods And we can go over that today as well while we're eating, you know discuss why we're eating raw So it's gonna be really simple meal today. I'm just gonna have some skirt steak some raw honey some various supplements to fill in the Downfalls of the carnivore diet. So let's get started with that because it is way too late today It's almost five o'clock and I haven't eaten anything yet I've been doing a little too much work. I've been too busy and I need to get my calories in for this bodybuilding nonsense So let's get started. Let's get the meal prepped and ready to go Here I have some skirt steak from Frankie's Suranged Meat and since my parents run everything through the dishwasher there are some chemicals and Negative cleaners that I want to wipe off these plates and these surfaces before I put the meat on them I'll just take a towel with some Reverse osmosis filtered water and I'll just wipe everything off that I'm gonna be eating off of one thing that makes it a lot easier for me at least is Cutting the meat ahead of time. So I don't actually have to cut it while I'm eating And that also allows me to warm it up a bit easier So since I did take this skirt steak right out of the fridge It's cold and eating raw meat cold isn't enjoyable So we're actually gonna pop this in a very low heat oven for like 10 15 minutes just to get it to room temperature quicker You know, of course you could you know leave the meat out a couple hours take it out ahead of time over to the oven I'll put this on 250 And we'll keep a close eye on this You don't want to go longer than five minutes the meat will start to turn gray on top while that's warming up in the oven I'll just show you guys what supplements I'm taking right now So I'm trying to do 400 to 600 milligrams of magnesium per day I will get a magnesium supplement for you guys soon. Hopefully Pleasure to do three or four of these maybe even five with my first meal Magnesium is very important for activating vitamin D3 and you know over the past several years of my diet I haven't been getting enough magnesium. So I'm at some type of nutrient imbalance stage where it's necessary to take a lot Copper to keep the zinc to copper ratio in check and this is the main downfall of the carnivore diet It does not have enough copper. So these are three milligram capsules I usually take one or two with my first meal and then one with my second meal And this is vitamin K2. I'll do anywhere from 10 to 15 milligrams per day right now It's way more than you can actually get from food, but I've noticed it helps a lot So I'll take all of these in a couple drops after I'm about halfway done with my meal So that it incorporates into the food and it digests as if you know the supplements don't just hit my stomach So as this is warming up in the oven The action actually just go in here and feel how hot the meat is getting and this is Actually really hot. It's about to cook so I'm just mixing it up together real quick and I'm going to take it out now What'll happen sometimes is the bottom of the plate and the bottom of the meat will be cold So what you do is you just take this out let it sit for a minute or two and and then you're good This is actually on the verge of cooking. This is about as hot as you can get without cooking the meat But now we have some nice room temperature steak that we can enjoy a lot of the times You'll hear it thrown around that you don't need to salt your food and this is incredibly subjective Depending on the person's metabolic state individual sodium requirements Someone might need a lot of salt someone might need a little bit of salt if you are looking to Reduce your salt intake and you still want to enjoy your meat. This is something I've done on occasion I really don't do this often. Sometimes I will use mustard very rarely will I do coconut aminos? But you know both of these are fairly low in sodium compared to you know sprinkling a bunch of salt on your food so maybe you could take some coconut aminos and then a little bit of mustard and Mix it in there. You'll have like a little dipping sauce for your meat For some reason my camera thinks the meat on my plate is my face and I I like to think I'm a little prettier than that But I decided to get a normal-sized knife for you guys for once. I mean you guys seem to complain when I use the big knife and Just raw meat itself The palatability of it really tells us what we're meant to consume as humans You know, what else can you take out of nature in its natural raw state that is tasty? Chlorically dense has a pleasant texture and of course high in vitamins and minerals And it never gets old raw unseasoned meat day in and day out Something I can always eat. This is also a way to kind of reset food palatability And I'm not sure if my food palatability video is still available But we can definitely remake that one soon. The more you season food the more you cook food you increase its palatability Therefore you can consume more of an unnatural amount of that food. Is that necessarily a bad thing? No But when you add in other negative lifestyle factors over consumption of food can cause problems The main reasons to consume raw meat are from the digestive enzyme perspective the enzymes in your body Your stomach is able to more easily digest and absorb Raw meat when you heat the meat and requires more enzymes the cell structure is more degraded that being said cooked meat does offer more energy to the body and I don't really want to disclose why cooked meat offers more energy to the body But it has to do with the gut microbiome. That's why Every single indigenous group consumed to both Raw and cooked meat each of them serve different purposes. They also All consumed fermented meat which served a bacterial benefit purpose and a specific nutrient purpose So raw is not better than cooked Fermented is not better than raw want to include all three in your diet and the body will naturally have cravings Towards different states of food towards different foods towards salt Listen to your body and try to understand why you're doing certain things when you pigeonhole yourself into a certain way of eating And go against what your body is telling you. That's where you run into problems. So let's try some of this mustard soy concoction. Oh It's a lot of flavor, you know, it's sweet from the coconut minos Acidity from the mustard. I mean, yeah, it's similar to sushi, you know, cuz you're dipping fish and soy sauce Except I like this way better than sushi. Just like you see with vegans a lot of these raw primal dieters are always cold Has to do with only eating raw food One other thing that you guys have heard me mention time and time again is when you eat a raw meal It doesn't really sap your energy So it is nice to have the raw meal early in the day and then have some cooked food later in the day before you Go to bed. I was doing ground beef for a couple weeks and I was barely eating half a pound of meat a day I was just so gross out from ground beef and I switched back over to steak. I'm eating like two pounds of meat a day All right, I'm kind of full so I'm gonna go take my vitamins real quick and we'll grab some honey or some carbs So this is a very special type of honey and because there are some losers out there that plagiarize people and ruin things for everyone else I can't tell you guys what it is maybe sometime in the near future. I'll be able to tell you guys, but for now I'm just gonna sit here and have a couple tablespoons. Not really that sweet, which is what's so unique about it Normally you eat honey and you pucker up, but I've usually had a very poor sense of taste in general from since I was a kid But one thing I like about honey is that I Can kind of taste where it's from a little bit Like the flowers and stuff. I don't really feel like eating that much of this But I want to have at least a couple tablespoons to to get some energy and carb up. This is gonna blow your mind guys If I can get this for you guys Let's get on with the rest of my day Work out. We'll have a second meal later. I really don't think I want to have another raw meal later But it's running like this. I guess we'll have to it's about 1 a.m. Right now I am beyond exhausted and I still have a few hours of work to do So after I had that meal I made some products for Frankie's naturals I worked out then I had to drive through Manhattan to take a look at some gym equipment which wasn't that great and now here We are at one in the morning, so as much as I wanted to keep this like genuinely raw I'm going to show you guys a recipe tonight beef to toki Which is a traditional Japanese preparation of beef where they get a little bit of a crust on the outside of the meat Inside completely raw and they serve it in this like tamari soy Ponzu really nice flavorful sauce We're gonna do a carnivore version partly because I really don't feel like eating completely raw meat again Partly because this skirt steak was sitting out for 10 hours and I need to get calories in I need this to be Poutable and very tasty in addition to the skirt steak The only thing we have to supplement is some copper and I'm probably going to have a few more tablespoons of That special honey. I did have a few more tablespoons before I worked out So you guys didn't see that I'm trying to get between 150 and 200 grams of carbs worth of honey every day right now some organic black pepper and Sprinkle of salt Since we just want a quick hot sear on the outside you want this flame to be really hot If the meat was cold from the refrigerator, you'd have less margin of error But since it's been sitting out all day and we need the grill to be hot A lot of the time they don't even really get a sear when they do beef to toky They just get it slightly gray on the outside point is 95% of the meat as well And you still get that really nice charred flavor Anyone familiar with beef to toky knows it comes in this soup of soy sauce essentially So I'm going to use the coconut aminos that I showed you guys earlier and I've already filled up most of this plate I'm just going to season this with some salt and pepper I might do a recipe on this in the future Maybe add some fish sauce a couple other ingredients to it some spices and then when we take a look at the beef as you guys see Completely raw and this is what beef to toky is there's a sear on the outside, but it's literally raw in the middle And then it's plated in the soy sauce. I'll just So what I'm doing is I'm dunking it in and then I'm just flipping it over so it's evenly seasoned They'll usually plate it in some type of decorative pattern like this and then they'll have you know a bunch of garnishes in the middle Maybe some spring onions. Maybe something to reset your palate. We are just gonna pile up the steak There is our not so raw tarted dinner. I'm just gonna do a little more black pepper on top So I decided to go up and take a shower while this beef was just sitting here and marinating in the coconut aminos And now we're gonna sit down and try some. I'm glad I let it sit And traditional beef to toky just has a lot more flavor You know coconut aminos don't really compete with all those sauces tamari ponzu the acidity the umami This is still good. I'm sure I'll come up with a beef to toky recipe for you guys Now is there a difference in the level of inflammation in your body for a meal like this? Versus just raw unseasoned beef. I would argue. It's very insignificant. What's more significant is if this causes you to overeat by like a pound of pounds and a half That amount of extra food will do far more damage to your stomach to your gut than any seasoning or spice or whatever Any degree of cooking. I'm not super hungry tonight Just try to get in like half a pound of steak the main thing I want to do is make sure this is enough for two meals tomorrow because This is definitely too much food for one meal tomorrow But I don't want to eat too much right now, so I don't yeah, I think this is fine So I'll leave this for now even though I could eat a few more bites You know, I honestly I don't like stuffing myself. Although because of this bodybuilding stuff recently I've been kind of eating more than I know I should I've had corresponding like, you know sleepless nights. I'm insomnia some problems. So Try to get healthier, but you know as the pressure of this bodybuilding stuff is still on the table You know, I'm gonna stick through for as long as I can or at least as long as I need to So thank you guys for joining me today.
