Thanks for that Tyler, Cant wait til Thursday now. Will be interesting to see how things go over the first month. I will keep you informed of how i'm getting on. I'm sure i will have plenty more questions.  ;D

In response to original post:

In my opinion the only supplement you should consider taking is vit D3, seeing as the summer is over and you are likely deficient.
You seem to be worrying too much about specific quantities of food. There is no need for calorie restriction. Eat as much beef fat, muscle meat, liver, kidney etc as it takes to make you feel satisfied. RDA values are largely a waste of time, they are based on the average "healthy" population, which eat Neolithic foods etc. True healthy nutrient intakes likely differ a lot to the RDA.
Salt is also not necessary in my opinion. The meats, especially kidney, contain a decent amount of sodium. But 30 g of kidney is not much. When I eat beef kidney I usually eat a whole one in one sitting, which weighs at least 250g. But I don't eat it daily.

You don't need carbs to build muscle.

Thanks for your reply Haai, I think I am over thinking things. I suppose I just like having a set menu each day so i know i'm getting everything my body requires daily. Silly I know, maybe Diet OCD.  ;D I will probably try and consume more organs but I don't want to go overboard. I will ignore the RDA from now on and concentrate on eating grass fed meat.

You dont need carbs to build muscle - Thats what I thought but I have read so much about muscle building saying you must consume 1g Carbs per 1lb body weight after weight training. There will be a lot of experimenting over the next few months.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your replies Tyler. That really helps, I will definitely follow your advice. I think I will try to go very low carb initially and see how things go.
You mentioned loose teeth, is that common with low carbers?
I'm a bit concerned  about that. If I struggle with low carbs, I will probably add fruit and veg but I will stay away from Dairy if that's what you recommend.
What about calcium? Will I be OK without Dairy and no supplements?

Thanks again Tyler.  :)

Right ok, I realise i have made a plan without asking for advice first.  l) However I was keen to get started and thought the above was a good place to start.
Obviously not,

1. Should I remove the supplements and concentrate on maybe more meat/organs.
2. Do I have to include fish even if the meat is grass fed.
3. I will eat other meats, not just beef! Lamb etc...
4. Should I include the Fruit / Veg and Dairy to ensure vitamins and minerals reach their RDA.
5. Can the experienced members give me an idea off what to add to my diet.

I don't want to be deficient in vitamins and minerals and would like to go low carb but if somebody else knows better please tell me your experiences.
I'm new to this and if i'm asking the wrong questions or making people angry I apologise. All I ask is for your help to get me started and any useful advice.

Thanks again.

Hello my name is Stuart and after reading so much about this way of eating I have decided to go ahead and start it on 10th October. Just waiting for my food to be delivered.  ;D

I'm just under 17 stone and according to the NHS here in the UK I should be around 12 stone. So I decided to follow this way of eating to get within a healthy weight range and improve my overall health and get the Vitamins and Minerals which i'm probably lacking right now due to my typical junk food diet. Im looking to eat around 1800 calories per day with a Fat / Protein ratio of 73/27. My plan will consist of the following per day:

484g Beef Steak Mince. Grass Fed. 90/10.
60g Beef Liver. Grass Fed.
30g Beef Kidney. Grass Fed.
100g Beef Fat. Grass Fed.
1 Teaspoon Himalayan Salt. (For RDA of Sodium)

Does this look ok to start with? Its just over 1800 calories according to Nutrition Data.
Let me know your thoughts.

I will also take a Multi Vitamin called Wellman and a Calcium Formula called Osteocare to ensure I get the right vitamins and minerals. After using Nutrition Data and checking my vitamins and calcium formula I calculated I would hit the RDA of all the Vitamins and Minerals except Vitamin K 7%, Potassium 51%, Manganese 66%.  I believe Vitamin K can be produced by our bodies, However i have read so much about Potassium and Manganese, Would I be lacking in these minerals after several months on a Raw Carnivorous type diet. Also the whole omega 6 to omega 3 ratio, If i consumed nothing but grass fed meat will I need to supplement with Omega 3 or just try to add a small amount of salmon each day. Ideally I want to stay away from Fruit and Veg for now as I'm starting to get really carb sensitive. Eventually I'm going to join the gym and would like to know if anyone has problems with zero to low carb diets, some people say you need carbs to build muscle and for energy while others say once fat adapted with sufficient calories you will have lots of energy and a good base to build muscle. Let me know what you think. For now i'm concentrating on this new way of eating and losing some weight so my doctors cant call me officially obese.  :(

Any feedback or advice to help me start this new chapter in my life would be great.

I look forward to your replies.
Kind Regards

Stuart
