Dave Feldman's experimental diet for 15 days consisted of maintenance calories (approx. 2350 kcal) for 5 days, followed by a hypocaloric phase (half of maintenance) for 5 days, and a hypercaloric phase for 5 days, primarily using eggs, cheese, and skinless hot dogs, with a multivitamin and keto chow shakes during the hypercaloric phase.

“all right just real quick this is what i did for 15 days for the first five days i eat maintenance level i guess technically carnivore because it was a combination of eggs cheese and nathan skinless hot dogs uh along the one non-carnivore part was i had a multivitamin which i don't necessarily vouch for multivitamins it's more just kind of like a base insurance but it's also part of my baseline diet we'll get you some death organs supplements from hard and soil i figured you would say this this is very nutritionally incomplete which you'd be 100 right but a couple years ago i chose this baseline diet because it's very portable that's right if i'm traveling then i can count on all three of these ingredients to be very capturable unfortunately all other variations that i was coming up with would you know it depend on what place i was at for example i can't just make it a burger because the composition of burgers are going to be different from one place to the next had to buy stuff from a grocery store what were three things i could count on getting almost anywhere this isn't dave's ideal diet you guys this isn't his everyday diet it's his experimental diet because dave is the ultimate human test tube and in the future we will make we will make supplements from heart and soil part of dave's test tube we'll make sure that but for now that was what he was eating not not the ideal diet well and if coved was going on i would have chose a different diet regime because i know i'm not traveling for a while right okay so i had maintenance level for five days which i think was around 2350 calories so i don't gain or lose weight roughly then i went hypochloric and the hypocaloric phase was five days of exactly half of the first five days exactly half per day the first five days all the meals were at the same times and we're in exactly in half and then for the last five days i was hyper caloric it was a lot more of the same three ingredients but i couldn't do just double everything i was eating i had to also have i had keto chow shakes on top of that there's a little bit more of a story as to why that was done it was somewhat improvised in the moment so that part wasn't carnivore but i needed to replicate exactly what i did last year in the original aux ldl experiment that's why this is called the aux ldl replication experiment”
