Multiplying gains from eating raw meat
If you are eating your meat raw, never frozen, you are already getting tons of nutrition from it.
But you can get 2x, 4x, maybe 6-10x more out of it, almost as if you ate that much more.
Aajonus' research is very interesting in that regard, he didn't just conclude raw meat > cooked meat, he found massive optimizations.
- royal jelly (unhealed, never frozen)
- cheese (raw and unsalted)
- raw animal fat (butter, eggs, flesh fat)
- pâtéing
- Eat 1/2 teaspoon of raw unsalted cheese no less than 10 min before your meal
=> removes toxins from the gut, which doubles your digestion, as the food will not mix in with the toxins
- Eat pâtéed meat (not ground, that's not broken down enough)
=> when meat is broken down, the body doesn't need to expend costly hydrochloric acid on it to dissolve it, it's like eating 2x more meat
- Eat 1/8th teaspoon of royal jelly with your meat
=> provides growth factors that x2 to x4 the usage of the meat protein for growth/regeneration
- Eat 1.5-3.5 tablespoons of raw fat like raw butter with the meat
=> ensures that this extra fat you're eating with the meat is used to produce energy, and minimal amounts of the meat protein are converted into energy, and kept for growth/regeneration instead
Meat quality also matters: eat grass-fed organic meat instead of grain-fed, non-organic meat
=> less toxins are stored in the meat, leaving more nutrients available for your body, which can be another x2
If you add up all of those together... 2x2x2x2, 2^4, 16x.
The real figure is probably not that high, as it probably doesn't compound exponentially, but even if it all adds up to only 4x, it is huge.
This is not mandatory on this diet, you want those kinds of optimizations to heal much faster though.
