The Beginner’s Rulebook
If you're starting your carnivore journey, keep it simple with this hierarchy:
⭐The Goal: Make ruminant meat (beef, lamb, bison) the star of every meal.
⭐The Fuel: Don't fear animal fats; butter, tallow, and egg yolks provide the energy you need.
⭐The Variety: Use seafood and monogastric meats (chicken, pork) as "side dishes" or to change things up.
The "Ancestral" Checklist
How to eat like a human again:
✅ Primary: Ruminant Meats.
✅ Energy: Animal Fats.
✅ Nutrients: Seafood & Shellfish.
✅ Occasional: Raw Dairy & Poultry.
"Why it Works" Summary
This pyramid focuses on nutrient density and bioavailability. By starting with a foundation of red meat from ruminant animals, you maximize your intake of B12, Zinc, and Iron. Adding fats ensures you stay satiated, while seafood adds a boost of Omega-3s and Vitamin D.
