That’s wild never even heard of such a thing. So sorry to hear that!

I would advise being careful with dieticians. Nutritional science is a bit of a shit show. Granted we found keto/carnivore through a nutrition based doctor so not saying it’s necessarily a bad thing, but multiple doctors sent my wife down a horrifically stupid path (that worsened all the problems) before we found a good one that literally changed everything we had thought about it.

Hopefully this gets you back right though and cleaning up what gets into your body helps keep it that way. If you are ever curious about what we did on that front I’m always happy to share. Hope to hear good news about it in the not-too-distant future. Good luck! 🙏🏻🫡

The problem is that my diet for the last 10 years is 100% plant-based, which I know is a controversial thing to say here. If I do need to introduce animal protein, it’s gonna take a while to ease into it and I’m gonna have to do a lot of research into local/humane farms near me. I’ve been working alongside dietician’s for years. The trick is to go for a newer one/fresh out of school (in my opinion) because data regarding diets is like the fastest changing information ever.

I’m really interested in starting with free-range eggs and then slowly adding fish and see where that goes.

When we started into it we had no clue what was even edible and went with simple. Literally eggs and bacon in the morning, then steak and eggs. Definitely getting from local farmers is the best if you have good options. Simply knowing where your food comes from makes a difference.

I get the going humane thing, corporate farms that have been grossly subsidized are awful. And it’s not even merely in how the animals are treated. Unhealthy, pumped full of antibiotic, locked in a metal box, fattened with corn and grain cows are literally bad quality meat on top of being inhumane (still better than most other foods, but bad compared to well raised meat).

The healthiest meat is simply from the animals that had the healthiest lives. And you can’t know what you are getting unless you see it yourself. All the “ratings” and “certified blah” regulatory stamps are all pretty much worse than horseshit, unfortunately.

You are right that nutrition is running at a million miles an hour though. It’s been crazy seeing stuff we learned about 12-15 years ago that was crazy fringe now slowly becoming common knowledge.

I would definitely start with eggs. Both delicious and a good, simple way to get animal proteins in your diet. I’d bet you won’t regret it. My wife is big on fish too, but I’m more of a steak guy myself.

Yeah even though I am actually an advocate for carnivorism (if the meat is humanely sourced), it’s just been so long and the idea of chewing it is still super freaky to me so I’m going really really slow. I think eggs are gonna be the easiest start for me at least and then see how I feel from there. No matter what, my diet will be whole-food/non processed except for special occasions (I’m still eating cake on my bday and what not 😂)

In my experience eggs and goat cheese are the way to take the stress (and vit B12 supplements) out of a pure plant based diet.

I know of plant based eaters who eat a little meat occasionally to get a boost of different "dirt". I can't do that. Years ago I was chomping through a delicious big ole fillet and something clicked in my head and I was literally repulsed by what had been my favourite food for 59 bloody years. Minds are mad!

I'd suggest non supermarket eggs. Whatever the box says in those places,, even bio, who really knows whats going down. I've only eaten home-raised eggs, so I know what my birds have eaten.

The only marginal health issue that I have come across in reading is, if you eat a lot of them and you eat animal fat, eggs maybe mess with cholesterol. But I've looked far and wide for evidence not to eat 3 or 4 eggs over a day, every day, it just isn't there.

I know I have a bias about eggs, but fill your boots.

And local goat or sheep cheese. It's a cruder dairy product, but it's dynamite food.
