What to Eat & What to Avoid, if You Eat Plants! | Dr. Ken Berry
Optimal Plant Consumption and Returning to the Original Human Diet
Discover specific plant parts to prioritize and essential preparation methods to eliminate inflammation, understanding why animal fats provide superior nutrition compared to even "healthy" plant oils.
Short Summary
- Plants must be carefully prepared (cooking leaves, soaking/sprouting seeds) to neutralize natural defense mechanisms like oxalates and lectins.
- A properly functioning body provides clear inflammatory feedback (like flu symptoms) toward foods that disagree with you, even those deemed "healthy."
- The recommended ancestral diet (meat, fat, liver) is the oldest sustained human diet, dispelling myths that ketogenic or carnivore approaches are modern fads.
Dr. Ken Berry discusses strategic plant intake for those practicing a low-carb modification, emphasizing preparation techniques like soaking or roasting nuts and seeds. He explains how modern dietary changes allow the body to signal distress from inflammatory compounds, and he concludes by framing the recommended diet as humanity's original eating pattern, urging a 30-day trial.

At the end you eat what you can digest and make you feel good. I eat 80% of meat and the remaining 20% is low calorie carbs veggies for feeling and it work great for me.
I ate a bunch of pistachios and honey last night, and I felt like I was coming down with the flu today too. 9 months in - first half keto/IF, lately more carnivore - I told my wife last night that I feel generally better every week, but it also makes me more aware of acute issues that aren't going as well. I was mentally hazy all day today at work, and my plantar fasciitis flared up worse than it has in a while. From nuts and honey. Dammit.
I love that you are friends and speak respectfully of Dr Paul Salandino. You all offer such sound advice with some variations. Its beautiful to see the respect and comradory in this community ❤

Arugula for nitrates. Low in anti-nutrients.
Pretty sure anyone's great-grandmother had zero clue about systemic inflammation caused by plants. A stomach-ache? Yes.
