An animal-based diet emphasizes meat and organs and excludes plant parts like leaves, stems, and seeds.

“so an animal-based diet is meat and organs right it's nose to tail we're adding organs into a paleolithic diet either fresh or desiccated like we make at hardened soil”

“now if you had any doubts about this kind of thing you can look at articles there's been tons of anthropological studies of hunter-gatherer cultures this is one of my favorite articles i've talked about before on the hadza and the title of the hadza of the title of the paper is tubers as fallback foods and their impact on todd's 100 gatherers”

“you get the organs on an animal-based diet and really the organs are going to provide you with all the nutrients you need leave out the night shades leave out nuts and seeds leave out grains super controversial leave out coffee and tea as i said next week and i'll do a video about why i think you're probably even best to leave out mushrooms in the future”

“so i definitely eat you know a lot of those grass-fed and wild-caught you know proteins off that list and then i i don't have restrictions and it's a it's a pretty good balance like um avocado banana cucumber um you know those would be pretty simple ones right there”

“these are specifically a lack of quote-unquote vegetables which i would consider to be the more toxic parts of plants leaves stems seeds seeds and things like roots and a preponderance or an emphasis on meat and organs most paleolithic diets don't talk about organs at all”
