You likely need more structure than broad principles alone, but not the strongest reset.

Time horizon
Start now, stay observant, and liberalize only after the signal gets clearer.
Your Personalized Guide
What this approach is doing
Animal-Based simplifies the question of what to eat by making nutrient-dense animal foods the center of the diet, then adding simple carbohydrates your body tends to handle well.
This often improves satiety, reduces grazing, stabilizes energy, and makes the feedback from food easier to interpret.
Prioritize
Lean into these
Start with the most nutrient-dense, satisfying foods first.
Pause
Step back from these
The point is to remove foods that make hunger, inflammation, or confusion louder.
First 7 Days
Keep the first week simpler than your instincts want. The goal is to create a baseline your body can actually answer from.
Build your foundation
Build one default breakfast, one default lunch, and two default dinners.
Let protein lead
Let protein lead every meal. Use fruit and honey intentionally, not randomly. Keep the ingredients simple enough that your body can give you honest feedback.
What to expect
How it unfolds
Improved satiety first
Most people notice improved satiety first.
More stable energy
Then more stable energy.
Fewer cravings, cleaner decisions
Then fewer cravings and cleaner meal decisions.
Think about food less
You may also notice that you simply think about food less. That is often a sign that you are finally eating in a way your body can trust.
Liberalize later
When you're ready
If this works, stay here as long as it feels useful.
If you want more flexibility, broaden back toward Food for Humans.
If symptoms remain more significant than expected, the Carnivore Reset may be the next move.
Optional Support

The most nutrient-dense foods on Earth, in capsule form. Sourced from grass-fed, regeneratively raised cattle.
