Notes about this video.
Download the Weekly Meal Plan Template: lauratry.gumroad.com/l/high-protein-meal-plan
1. I’m not taking any protein powders, because Phil was keen for me to get it all from meat and fish, mainly because of the amino acid balance and health benefits.
If I needed to make the plan more affordable, protein powders could be an option.
2. Bryan Johnson’s health regime fascinates me.
He is at the top of his game for health and longevity, yet eats a vegetarian diet, similar to how I used to eat, yet I was in a terrible state!
Then I realise he is throwing $2m at his health a year - has it monitored on a daily basis, gets regular blood tests, and takes dozens of supplements to potentially fill in the gaps that his meal plan is missing (I don’t know that as fact, but just a guess).
As well, it may make a difference (but I’m not sure) being male and his body's ability to build and sustain muscle may be different to mine, but I don’t know.
It’s tricky when we have access to so many people's lives online, sharing what they eat, and then we think “I’m going to give that a go” yet we don’t their biological makeup, deficiencies, hormonal balance, requirements etc. It makes me realise there is no "one-size-fits-all.”
Either way, this meal plan is the best I can do with the time, money and resources I have available to me. And I honestly feel like a brand new person to the one I used to be because of it.
So maybe it shouldn’t be carnivore vs plant vs keto vs fasting vs XYZ, this is about finding a good meal plan for us as individuals.
As Wayne Norton says “there are no solutions, only tradeoffs.”
The one thing Bryan Johnson and I have in common is using our blood work results, food, exercise and supplementation to improve our health.
3. If you want your bloods tested and analysed to show what you need and should eat, I highly recommend Phil: bit.ly/Phil-Richards (he hasn't asked me to write that, I want to write it, as what he does is phenomenal!)
His tests are offered in the UK, Ireland, Europe & Dubai. Those outside those countries: get a private comprehensive blood (and stool test) and Phil will analyse the results (search online consultation on his site) If you have any Qs, get in contact with Phil and they can help.
4. I spoke about food in the video, but I didn’t mention drink.
In the morning I drink one green tea, and throughout the day I drink water, herbal tea and hot water with fresh lemon and lime slices. As well as the berry vinegar and sparkling water I mentioned in the video. During weight training sessions I drink an amino acid drink, and electrolyte powder during sauna sessions.
I don’t drink sodas, juice, squash or alcohol as they don’t make me feel good.
5. The daily calories were around 1,400 calories a day, which was probably a calorie deficit. This was to encourage my body to burn the excess body fat. Even though I was in a calorie deficit, I didn’t really get hungry as my body was getting lots of nutrients. If, for example, I had eaten 1,315 calories of ultra-processed, high carb and fat foods I’m absolutely sure I wouldn’t have felt the same and would have felt hungry. Calories in calories out is important but it’s also not everything. And please bear in mind that this plan and the daily calories were designed specifically for me with my goals, health and activity levels in mind, based on my blood and stool test results.
I hope you found this video interesting and valuable 🙏
I definitely found this interesting. Since last December my focus has been on building muscle mass and losing body fat.
What are the pots and pans you are using?
This is great Laura. Would love to see your workout programme as it looks very balanced from the clips you’ve shown 💪🏼
Great video! Yes Bryan Johnson was getting extra testosterone shots to supplement the lacking hormones due to his calorie deficit and lacking protein. I think he recently mentioned he no longer needs it but he still takes hundreds of supplements a day, as per his website. Your diet seems quite reasonable in comparison.
@@robertalynch5433 synchronised goals 😎
Hats of to your mother who at her age is still open and willing to try along with you! What a support.
Thank you. She is doing great and I am very proud of her. She is still doing her mackerel breakfast and protein lunches. I very happy she is taking care of herself.
I stopped IF too in order to maintain and build muscle! High protein has truly been lifechanging for me.
Hi Laura
Im a 62yr old woman, and when i hit 61yrs, 18months ago, i also started weight training about 5 times per week, and i upped my protein intake and basically cut the crap you know you shouldnt eat. After 6mths, i had lost 2stone, and in the last year i have lost 1.5 stone, a total of 50lb now. A big difference for a 4'10" woman. I look and feel much better, even my feet and fingers have gone back to their pre-fat years size. (Im not Keith)
That’s wonderful! Good for you 👏👏👏
I honestly refer everyone I know to your videos because I find you to be scientific and determined, and your 'I try' videos are for more than 30 days. You are my HERO Laura!
You are sooo kind! Thank you so much!
It’s the reason I don’t publish a video more often, I like to try things for an extended period of time and actually see and feel the results.
The reason my psilocybin video is 5 months delayed.
Thank you for recognising that 🙏
My inspiration. I too am working on myself. Excersuse diet work & mental health. I feel a difference. Been 3 months. Keep moving forward
@@starbright1256 Keep moving forward 👊
Yes for this exact reason is why I follow this channel. You give it a fair shake. I can’t stand the “I ate like a bodybuilder for one day” videos.
The length argument is a really good one.
People trying a special det for only a few days will feel miserable. They won't get any knowledge from it, just torture themselves for likes.
I love how you explain things so well. I used to be a vegetarian for 20 years. I've switched to a low carb high protein diet and I am reaping the benefits. Thank you so much the in-depth information.
Me too vegan 25 years and vegetarian a total of 32 years. Getting so much better on low carb animal-based diet!
ua-cam.com/video/UR7H9xeMYME/v-deo.html
I changed to vegetarian and take pea proteine D and B12., Wow I feel way better now!
This is why I stay confused, no matter what people change in their diet they claim to feel better; whether it be from carnivore to vegan or vegan to carnivore. I’m trying to figure out what is optimal for me but am always confused. 🧐
Have a look at some of the videos and books by Georgia Ede, Shawn Baker, Anthony Chaffee etc.
A lot of people find that the Seventh day adventist, vegan, cereals stuff is not sustainable.
I've just come across your page and have to say, I'm absolutely BOWN AWAY by your content. You're genuine, warm, and knowledgeable. I really love the way you're sharing your journey and are open to improving yourself, even if that means changing beliefs and behaviors you once deemed to be "right". I feel this is what the journey of being human is all about: having the humility to try things and expand your knowledge base. I was a vegetarian, turned vegan, turned fruitarian, intermittent fasting, detox-addicted health enthusiast for most of my life. Quit meat at around 12yrs of age after befriending a pig that ended up on a roast for our easter meal. lol After eating only fruits and leaves left my hair falling out in clumps and my body diminishing I decided to "prove" that it couldn't be because I hadn't eaten meat. I prepared 1/2lbs of beef and ended up eating it all. I've been trying to figure out this whole low carb high protein thing while feeding my 2 year old toddler and this meal plan and video are gold, err PLATINUM (lol)! Thank you for taking the time to create this content and pdfs. Cheers for being brilliant and selling your pdf. I'm happy to support someone who is actually doing the research and cares about how her content is being received. I saw your video on fasting and knew I liked you the moment you explained why it was important for you to highlight it should not be based solely on weight lose. Keep inspiring! Your mum is a charm too!
I just found this channel and video.. so grateful!!! I needed a few tweaks of my eating and this was extremely helpful!
I had been vegan for 25 years.. sadly ignored the information about vegans being more prone to osteoporosis ..and in Oct of 2022 was diagnosed. Sigh. One day I watched a UA-cam video of Dr Robert Lustig on sugar..sent me into watching and off I went! Lol I cut every bit of ultra processed food, added sugar, alcohol. Started reading about the dangers of muscle wasting as you age (I was 75)and necessary higher protein as you age. I added it all… meat, fish, eggs .. but kept VERY low carb ( no rice, potatoes, bread, flour at all) I do eat only whole fruit. I do eat prunes which were shown to be good for osteoporosis. I do have no sugar yogurt sometimes..
I stick to the “no food after 6 pm” rule ( I set an alarm for 5 to remind me to get my dinner in)..and eat breakfast about 8am (I’m up at 5… relax then go for a 7500 step walk). All I can say is I wish I knew I could feel like this years ago. I’m a new person! My energy! I’m thin and didn’t want to loose weight, but I did loose 3 lbs this year. (I’m 5’4” now 117 lbs.) I lift weights at home and use body resistance etc. I live over an hour from any gym and that is just not something I want to do with the cost of gas in California! I follow along with several physical therapists exercise routines for osteoporosis on UA-cam and take the appropriate supplements.
This has been an incredible journey. I’m certainly not happy to have osteoporosis, but it did send me on a path much better nutrition incredible strength.
Thank you for this very uplifting video. I hate gadget, it looks like an air fryer is going to have to be one of the Christmas gifts I buy myself! Lol . Very inspirational. Thank you so very much for this channel! I’m going to be watching more of the videos later!
I hope you are taking estrogen for your bones, you should have been since age 50 or so. now they wont give it to you at your age, but ask anyway.
So glad to see your videos and channel performing so good, Laura. Keep up.
Loved this video! So comprehensive and informative. Thanks for your effort and sharing with us!
I love this video, thank you so much. I especially love how your mom and you eat the same together. That’s really beautiful how you’re helping her with her health as well. This is how I eat also. Thank you for this video. I am a new subscriber and can’t wait to see what else you do.
Wonderful video Laura and so great to see you and your mum going great! Always inspiring and helpful in supporting my own health journey! Thank you 🙏💪
Great video and thank you for the template! ❤
I have had a similar meal plan for the past 5 years, most people who know about it think I am weird. I'm currently running zone 2 pace 5k a day for December to prepare for next year's racing season. Nice one Laura, works for me. BTW I'm 79 next birthday, vegetarian, don't buy wrapped food, don't shop at supermarkets. Keep on with videos please. 😊
How can you have a similar meal plan the past 5 years if you say you're a vegetarian? She's all fish and meat right now.
Not phrased very well, I meant the ratio of prorein/fat/carbs plus the nutrient timing. Athletes need protein and older people need mjuch more to compensate for sarcopenia.
Hello from Indiana, United States. Thank you for this video. I find your content so informative and pleasant. I learn and am inspired...terrific! I appreciate your relationship with your Mum. It always looks like you both enjoy each other and are having a good time. I look forward to your next video.
So glad you're back! I've missed your videos.
The clear and concise detail of this video is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to make this, you have a new sub!
This is great Laura, Ive been much more focused on increasing my protein intake since working with a coach over the last few years and have noticed a massive increase in energy and a much reduced need to snack on unhealthy foods in-between meals when i'm ensuring I get enough protein each meal. Great to see you back in my feed!
Absolute gold!!!! I just LOVE your content Laura!!!!! Because of you I did the blood tests with Phil but haven’t actioned much yet. I’ve got the infrared sauna and cold plunge, just signed up to the gym, bought some supps but couldn’t manage to eat the veg/meat combo. You’ve made it look sooooo easy I’m absolutely going to get on it next week. I can’t wait to be saying I’ve got your results in 9 months time. Thank you soooooo much. I’m really looking forward to simplifying my eating 🍽️ 💗✨💝
Thank you so much Laura, this is perfect timing! Well done you
Thank you so much Laura! I definitely know that high protein, low carb, non processed is the way to go. I needed an easy meal plan to follow so I am super excited to try this out and downloaded your plan. Thanks again!
Yessssssss! I have missed your videos so much! Having created my own Fitness Bucketlist, I was especially interested to follow your journey into becoming fitter and stronger and am even more excited that the video is well over 30 mins, had to comment before watching i was so excited!!
you are sooooooo sweet!!!! And there was me concerned it was over 30 minutes - I have so much to say 😂
I hope you enjoy it!
Hi Laura, very interesting video.
If I understood correctly, the eating plan you showed us is not the definitive one, just the one you were recommended in order to recuperate your nutritional deficiencies and build more muscle mass. It would be very interesting if you could make another video (within a few months time) showing what the eating plan for the maintenance phase is and what role carbs and plant based proteins will play in it.
I am also curious about whether or not you may have thought that the (mostly) vegetarian plan you were following before was the issue per sé, or whether it was rather the combination of intermittent fasting (and possibly two meals per day) plus poor protein intake that could have caused your nutritional deficiencies.
Keep up the good work!
Cheers from Holland :)
Thank you for taking the time to make this video it’s life changing
Love the info. It’s so cool your care for your mom.
I just want to say that I absolutely loved your video. It was very thought out and presented. It is one of the most helpful videos I have ever seen. It is apparent that you’ve put a lot of work into this and I appreciate it very very much.
oh my, you are sooooo kind! Thank you so much! This means a lot because this was actually my third version of this video.
It was making me a bit frustrated that it was taking so long to out together and that I couldn't find the right way. Then I found the right way.
And then I got your comment 🙏
@@LauraTryUK Yes I agree as I have watched so many over the last 18 months. I started with no knowledge of keto/carnivore eating. I started on a low carb eating plan for 3 months at the end of 22 after stopping all carbs, sugar, caffeine & alcohol in June 22 after a fall from a seizure. The seizures were started in 2004 after a head injury from D/Violence that totally changed my life. I was gettg around 5 seizures a month at the same time of every month ( may be hormonal as that can effect them). I started a ketovore diet Jan 23 for 8 months & have just added a few low oxalate veg's the last few months. I am also taking MCT while waiting for an appoint with a Dietician through The Charlie Foundation (TCF) in USA. I live in Australia & have not found many Drs or dieticians doing as much work with seizures as TCF. I was a vegetarian most of my life from about 16yrs but did eat meat at times like Spag Boll etc for a few yrs I am now 62. Your diet seems similar to what I am/have been eating except I could never eat that amount of food. I intend to take a closer look at your site.
Thanks
Laura Hadley
Awesome video , thanks Laura. I was looking on UA-cam just the other day wondering what’s happening with Laura, been awhile since a vid. Now you’ve just come out with a ripper that really resonates. 😊
I;ve been busying away in the background filming videos, writing scripts and got a bit behind with publishing videos. Hopefully have a few more out shortly.
You are the only you tuber that I subscribe to. Every video you do is EXCELLENT and extremely thorough! You have such a positive honest way of presenting your videos that it inspires others. Keep up the GREAT videos Laura and Thank You. Al from Canada
I get great value out of your videos. A huge thank you❤
Love how your mom and your cat is part of this!
I needed this. I've been in a vicious cycle of slight depression lead to poor eating habits which was then further destroying my lifestyle and mood. I've always been someone to bounce between extremes on eating and exercise and could feel a turning point coming. I feel I can anchor to this video as that turning point and I love the look of this meal plan, along with the really practical tips on preparation. Thank you Laura.
I'm so pleased you found this video valuable Paulo. And great work fro reaching your turning point! You can do it 👊
It will be an upward spiral from here!
Interesting to note, most of us have been under eating for years and are “skinny fat”. In old age it becomes osteoporosis and sarcopenia. There are more drs recommending hi protein diet these days. Thanks for the video, your body looks sexy!
Awesome video thank you. One thing I’ve learnt over the years is excuses I hear from myself as well as others as to why we can’t meal prep or train. If you really want to change then we will put in the work. I was at my best working 50 hours a week as I had to have a strict routine. It’s all down to routine, perseverance and the wanting to change. 😊
routine is the best for me! Without it, I am lazy and lose my discipline.
You are glowing ❤❤❤ So happy that you got your health back !
Bravo to you Laura, you're inspiring and enlightening so many folks and that's just awesome. All the best.
I just found your podcasts lately… love them.. I was in the same boat as you were … I was on the same type of diet as you and it has changed everything for me… my blood work has gotten so much better… no more pre-diabetic… sugar number is low, etc!
That’s fantastic news! Well done, you must be chuffed!
Glad your back!!!!! Looking great
Thanks!!! I appreciate that.
I'm feeling great too!
Just downloaded the High protein meal plan. Fish for breakfast sounds great
You did an excellent job putting together this video!
Happy the YT algorithm has been upping its game and sent me here. This is super interesting but your calming, happy energy kept me warching to the end! Now I'll go back to see what I've been missing and catch up!
She's a keeper. Continue taking care of your mum.
I’m so terrified of blood tests but the insights can be so illuminating! I’m inspired by your example I really want to get my mental game in control and overcome this fear because I know I’d learn so much about what my body needs. Wish me luck!
Sending you best wishes!
I too don't like having my bloods done - I'm quite the drama queen actually. But it's totally worth it!!!!!!! Like you wouldn't believe!
Good to see you back doing your stuff. Loving the vid. ❤
I've recently discovered your channel Laura, and have been powering through the videos! Thank you for sharing the information you do in such a humble way. I've really started getting put off by the ego in the bio-hacking space but you are so refreshing to watch and learn from, and an inspiration. Also, how cool is your mum! Please keep doing what you do :)
Amazing video as usual. You should be proud of yourself in terms of your tenacity and you story telling.
You’re very kind, thank you!
One way or other I always find myself coming back to your channel and taking in the vast cornucopia of deeply helpful information derived from a place of genuine humility about making life worth living. There is no flim flam or flannel and your Mum in the frame of all your stories is a real plus that underpins your philosophy of health for all. You are looking GREAT! You are a unique influencer of integrity and I want to thank you very much for all that you do and the way that you do it.
Your comment means a lot Patrick, thank you so much 🙏🏼
I just know you're Nigerian. Na una dey blow grammar like this
@@akpevwe big time Ibo!
Lovely comment and absolutely true ❤
Hi Laura, this video is fascinating, I'm curious to know how your cholesterol levels have been since following this regime. Hdl/ldl/vldl/ total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. P.S. I adore broccoli and have been eating it daily for 30+ years.
Your videos are always so inspirational and relatable! Thank you!
Wow! What a great video. You really have a way of delivering great content that is so unique to you. Lots of science-y stuff, lots of personal stuff, and lots of fun stuff sprinkled in too. ❤
Why would anybody take offense at what you present that you eat everybody eats, what everybody eats, and it’s all different. I am a practicing vegan raw food and I fast I only eat one meal a day and that works really very well for me my first meal of the day consist of tempeh salad moringa powder and then my stack of nutrients no complaints thus far, It’s good that you found what works for you, I think that’s great
because it's quite common for me to get 'direct' comments on my videos when I talk about food. I think it's common on social media.
@@LauraTryUK Yeah I kind of knew that I just put it out there thinking maybe with people with Gill on that, but what do I know?
kinda surprises me people get so shouty in the comments. but oh well, I have you lovely lot. Thanks for being so understanding and kind.
If you can't see why somebody might take offense, then you're not a real vegan, you're just a dude on a plant-based diet.
They are called radical vegans and carnivores zealots yeah they exist. You don’t seem to be one of them 😂😂😂😂
Hello Laura, congrats 🎉 You’re my hero and I love every video from you ❤ I have almost the same story…I went from overweight vegetarian to muscle girl thanks to the higher protein diet. I’m on this lifestyle for over 3 years. First I counted all the macros for over 4 months. Now I eat intuitively but still got around 20g proteins in every meal. I eat everything, but some things (like crisps) in moderation. I also quit alcohol 1,5 y ago and it was big gamechanger in my life 🙏🏻I’m more into triathlon than weights 🤩but every sport is great.
Awesome to have you back, and what a terrific video it was too. Full of so many tips and it's really good to see how you have benefited from it. Here's a great option for you regarding the brussel sprouts, try kalettes. They are a cross between a mini sprout wrapped in a leafy green and pink kale parcel. Absolutely delicious. Great sautéed in the pan or done in the oven with a little olive oil and seasoning.
I'm so grateful to have come across your channel. You always have quality content. ♥
I know that I so need this. I am 59 and lost lots of muscle over the last few years. I do not exercise and don't walk regularly. I have three males in my household who have bad eating habits. I also find that my husband sabotages me every time I try to eat healthier (buys me my favorite chocolates or sweets, etc). I know that I am on the wrong path with my health but I lack motivation. This video tells me that I can do it! So glad to see that your mother is on the same eating plan. This must be great to have a person to support you. And -of course- Charlie. I need a Charlie in my life lol!! thank you for sharing your honest experience with the rest of us.
You can do it, one meal at a time!
“Thanx hon.”
(If needed u can say, I’ll have it later and/or I’m not hungry right now)
No arguing, no defending urself against a bully.
You can do it, it just takes baby steps in the right direction!
Kinda lame to put blame on anyone but yourself about what you put in YOUR mouth. Set up for failure if you ask me
@@Toxus8 I am not blaming anyone. I just wish to get some moral support from my partner. that's all.
Good for you Laura! I just came across your channel and I really like your honesty and your a genuine good person. I totally understand your transition to high protein as i had the same issue. I wasn't really thinking about my total daily protein intake and many times i would have a coffee for breakfast and wait for lunch and still had the fat around the waist. I thought by fasting it would make me lean and loose my stomach. Now i have 2-3 eggs with a slice of good quality bread and half an avocado for breakfast and i feel great. It keeps me going till lunch where i will have meat or fish along with veggies. Its a process and working out with weights on a regular basis is the key. Your feeding your muscles and and you can see your body transitioning to being leaner and more muscular while loosing fat in the right spots.
A fantastic comment, thank you for sharing,
And great work for making the changes for improvement.
Your video came on my feed today and I so enjoyed your explanations. Here’s to an awesome and enjoyable week.
Glad you're back. Missed your videos. You are very good at what you do. Thank you 👍
Thanks so much for your kind words 🙏
You're back!
Hiiiiii 👋
Always been here, just. been recording and writing videos.
Awesome to have you back :) I've not been as dedicated to my weight-training program as you clearly are, but I did make a switch over to a high-protein diet back in June and I've noticed a world of difference since then in my focus and satiety. I tried to go full carnivore for a little while but I found it too difficult to maintain while cooking for my wife in the evening as well, so my evening meals are usually more carby than the rest...
You are so lovely to listen to! It's refreshing to see someone willing to follow the science and change the way they eat and workout to get different results. I'm a nutrition nerd and the more I learn the more I believe that this is the best way of eating for most people.
You have been so helpful and inspirational thank you sooo much. That eval by a sport nutrition center was probably one of the best things people can do. You look radiant and there’s a definite difference in your body composition very cool to see the transformation thank you for sharing and you and your Mum clips is so adorable. Great video content and flow and humor. Fabulous!!
Holy moley! What an awesome video! You made that food look so good, I downloaded the plan!
I found your channel years ago when starting my barefoot shoe journey - been over 2 years now! Since, I've started doing 4 7 8 breathing, journaling in the morning and night, and I'm on my 82nd day of doing 10,000 steps a day! (still trying to master the rubix cube 😂)
THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION :)
Oh wow Heather - you are AWESOME!!! Day 82 of 10k steps a day??? Please share your secret!
And the breathwork and journaling - aren't they the best!? The simple tings in life.
I believe in you on the Rubik's cube.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING MY WORK 🙏
I love my air fryer. The food cooks so much better.
Another fascinating video. Thanks for sharing these adventures Laura.
Airfryers for the win!
I'm pleased you enjoyed the video Ken 👊
Wow! Amazing video. There is so much work put into it. I'm definitely going to follow you and try this plan.
You two ladies are absolutely radiant! I love your videos!! Thank you
I loved this, you explained everything so well & I need to start this asap! I do eat high protein but I do struggle with meal ideas and I also feel my body reacts better to higher fats and lower carbs. It’s the dry veg that I’m not keen on though but may add olive oil and seasoning x
Needs much more fat, yes!
That was so interesting. In-depth and thorough, and Charlie’s cameos are the special touch!
I feel better when i keep carbs on the lower side, especially since hitting midlife, but always worried about eating too much meat (impact on kidneys, increased risk of bowel cancer).
Did you say there will be a follow-up video to tell us how you are eating now?
Kidneys n bowels concerns with meat is a myth
Really enjoyed this video. The time you took to shoot and edit it, as well as break down the information is appreciated.
ua-cam.com/video/MqT8FK7hCJk/v-deo.html
Another great video, Laura! Thank you!
On a side note, your friend with gout that "can't eat red meat"; that's not necessarily the case. There is a compilation of stressors that affect gout. If he cut out sources of fructose and alcohol, it's likely that red meat wouldn't be an issue, which is a common experience in the low carb/keto/carnivore communities.
This is an awesome video. I am impressed by all the efforts you are taking, Laura (and your mom!!), to improve your health and understand everything what's going on in terms of food and health. Very well explained and inspiring, too. I love that you are obviously educating yourself and sharing it here with us. And when you said you feel like a different person and see many improvements in skin and hair and what not, you do look great. And finally I laughed and liked whenever Charlie would make an appearance ;-) From my own experience, especially loosing fat, getting a good amount of sleep and getting blood sugar levels under control with the right food is contributng to a healthy mytochondrial function which rewards good energy levels and a life without brain fog! Curious how you journey will continue! :-)
Thank you for the lovely comment Oliver.
Isn’t Charlie a dream!
I’m with you on the sleep! That’s top of my list.
I hope you enjoy the next few videos related to all this: exercise, supplements, sleep, mobility etc
Thank you for sharing your journey and for your honesty in how you were feeling. 💛 I’m turning 40 this year and despite thinking I was healthy, I too am experiencing many of the same ailments. This video series has been a joy to watch!
I just subscribed a couple days ago after watching a few of your videos and I'm really happy to see your experiences growing and trying new and interesting things. I feel lucky to have found this channel and even luckier that I didn't have to wait four months. LOL. Massive love and respect! ❤
It's great to have you here! Thank you for subscribing and commenting 🙏
Like so many others….I missed you Laura! I always learn something new to Try….😊. P.S. The food cost is worth it if you’re healthier…and you’re GLOWING!
I eat similarly to this after being diagnosed pre diabetic; I worried I wouldn’t be able to build muscle without more carbs but was proved wrong. Thanks for this video. Your skin is looking awesome btw 😊
carbohydrates are not considered essential nutrients because the body can synthesize carbohydrates endogenously and use alternative energy sources such as Ketones. Fat and protein are essential macronutrients.
I've been looking forward to this video for sooo long and finally! Thanks for an awesome video Laura! ❤
Was it you that requested this video Desiré?
So love how even after your absence this return is getting so many views, bringing so many new people to your channel.
Great video, I'm definitely making a big batch of slaw tonight and eating it throughout the week! I had forgotten about it for a long time but turns out I have everything I need at home already
If you see this comment Laura there are two things I recommend you spend some more time looking into:
26:10 Cows living as cows isn't an environmental issue, it's even an environmental benefit if they are roaming or being moved seasonally - and a great way to use land that we couldn't farm plants on anyway
27:07 Gout doesn't actually have anything to do with red meat, that's an old misconception. The issue is fructose because it's processed in the liver which then makes too much ureic acid. Glucose isn't an issue because that goes straight to the blood.
Please let me know what you think if the slaw! It's such a great thing to have in the fridge. That and a bit of dressing if I'm peckish is fantastic! So nourishing and satisfying.
Thank you for the recommendations on education - lots to learn so will look into cows living as cows.
I kind of know about gout - but also can't tell my friend how to live his life. I tried once-ish and it didn't go well.
Exactly two things I was going to comment!
Great video. After 25 yrs of high veg diet, we changed to high protein, lower carb. We only eat two meals a day though. So much more satisfying and stable. You look great!
Not everyone is the same, and vegetables are not for everyone.

Awesome update LT!! Very motivating!
I'm pleased you liked it!
Congrats! Great work
Downloaded the meal planner and started this morning. 2 salmon fillets, 2.poached eggs and broccoli is alot more than I'm used to for breakfast, but it was delicious. The spices you recommended really work. Starting weight 11st 1lb...hopefully drop some llbs over the next 30days with this meal plan.
How did you get on? 😊
Great video LT. You look amazing.
I’m plant based with occasional fish. Typical breakfast is porridge,nuts, seeds, berries so thought I was ok. But I’m going to give the fish and cruciferous veggies a go as I love them anyway.
Thinking of giving Zoe a go. Not as comprehensive as Phil but a bit cheaper. 😊 I really understand the need for testing though and that everyone’s needs and biology is different. Keep up the good work. 👏
Hey! It's great to see your comment!
Defo give the fish and veggies a go for breakfast, then you can have your porridge as a second breakfast if you want.
If you've got £500 for the fundamental test with Phil, just go for it.
Thank you, this is very informative and certainly gave me a new direction, IF for a year and lost too much weight and muscle loss 😢 in my seventies and trying to rebuild myself.
Absolutely amazing Video,
Very positive.
Thanks L.T. gives me hope on a difficult day ❤
I've got the popcorn and I'm ready to go! Love your videos Laura, they (you) are so genuine and a pleasure to watch! I'm an alumni from Master UA-cam too, maybe one day we can collab! Right, time to start!
It;s a 35 minute one so popcorn is a good shout! I hope you enjoy it!
Isn't popcorn a carb?
Results are amazing Laura and I'm so glad mama Try is also benefiting from the nutrition/food plan. (I try and avoid the word diet for it's negative connotations and idea that it is restricting)
The more I learn about nutrition, the more I end up with the belief that humans are weird and that we all respond differently based on genetics, gut biome, lifestyle, environment and other factors - so there is no "one plan to rule them all".
For affordability - I notice a lot of your meat and veg is pre-packed in single portions and from a supermarket. Buying larger amounts from say a butcher and a greengrocer or local market may net some savings - at least in my experience.
And for work - food is pre-cooked and heated in the microwave.
Your plan seems a little low in calcium? I've actually started having more dairy as I passed 50, to help with bone density and supplement the weight training regime.
I've also been adding beetroot to my diet for the supposed benefits to blood, exercise performance etc.
I do supplement with some protein powder (12g) and creatine (3g) daily - on top of what I consider to be a decent meal plan. I keep it under control though as there is nothing worse than feeling that you are pouring most of that money (literally) down the toilet.
Can't wait to see the before and after blood test results.
wonderful comment, thanks Frankie, and also for your ongoing support.
I like the idea of bulk buying but we have a small freezer, perhaps I can do it in the future.
Calcium - I'm going with what Phil has recommended, I trust he checked my blood results and has designed the plan accordingly. New plan has plenty of tinned fish though (small bones = calcium)
Beetroot is on the new plan
Roll on the 12 month update video!
This is the best, most thorough video I have ever seen ❣️❣️❣️ thank you so much ❤
Just subscribed. I love the information in your videos!
Pretty sure sugar and refined carbs are the issue with gout (a form of arthritis) not red meat anymore
This was a great conversation. I'm actually carnivore and it has been great so far. My adult daughters i think would thrive on your way of eating etc..
Same here. I love veggies but see them as poison of today
@@vplan humans are omnivores as we cant eat raw animal flesh and our bodies are designed to eat a variety of foods including fruit and veg
@@vplanthat's being a bit too black and white. Non-starchy veg is harmless for most people. Sugar and junk food is what you really aught to focus on keeping away from. If you can only afford one of them, buy the meat..
Carnivore works for some, if not most people,

Thank you this was very informative and very useful! I went straight out and shopped. I look forward to your next update 🙏☺️
I really love your channel and it has been so helpful to see you try new things! I just ordered my Lumen - thanks for the discount! x
I'm really pleased you enjoy the videos. And great about the Kamen, thank you for using the link.
I hope you find it as helpful as I have.
I think it’s important to note that the Lumen showing you burning fat isn’t necessarily better for fat loss than burning carbohydrates - it is simply because you’re consuming more fat (if you put petrol into an engine it will burn petrol). It may help with overall adherence to your diet and how you feel, but it’s not that you’re burning more fat and therefore losing more weight. I know you didn’t say that in this video, but just in case anyone is confused by the fuel source thing.
Yes, and it's very interesting what Andy Galpin says about this. A bit scientific for me, but I got the gist of it.
thanks for explaining. It's hard to explain everything without the information becoming overwhelming in a video.
I trust those who decide a Lumen is for them will educate themselves on the information it provides.
I have it extremely helpful, and was surprised it recommended very similar things to what Phil did - fascinating considering it's a mass market product.
I failed to mention that it recommends switching between fat burn and carb burn for metabolic health, but again, too much information for this video. Something for another one for sure.
@@LauraTryUK also important to note (which I should have mentioned esrlier) is that, although apparently - for fat loss - it doesn't matter what we burn as fuel, perhaps it matters in other ways. Like burning clean energy! Or something 🤔
Hi Laura ❤ is this meal plan specifically for you eg calories required for your personal goals? Cheers
@@alicejwhowhile overall calories are all that matter physiologically, and you can surely gain weight on low carb (I'm doing so now, with the goal of faster muscle growth). Where they leave out is the hormonal aspect, low carb has way more protein and fats, and it gives you the building blocks, and also increases your normal bodily fat burning, perhaps increasing mitochondrial density. I also do zone 2 training in addition to weights to accentuate this adaptation. My healthiest elders in the family are the ones that eat the most veg and meat compared to other foods like grains or sweets.
Brilliant video! ive always eaten meals like this (about 150g protein(mostyle animal) and loads of veg) but i also need the carbs for me personally.
I eat 3600-3800 calories in one 2 hour sitting a day and then nothing else for 22 hours.
It seems extreme but it works for my body. I know its almost double what the daily recommended amount for females is and its a lot of food for 2 hours (breakfast lunch and dinner in one go ha) but im stronger and faster than ive ever been.
Thanks for promoting the highlighting that different diets and frequencies of eating per day are personal and different bodies react differently to it. 🙌🙌 p.s ill be adding more lamb to my diet now!!
You are in great shape Jade and so strong!
I now realise that each person has such different requirements when it comes to food for optimal health.
Ps - I am a little envious of your 3600 cals a day...... But also ok with not eating that.
ah thanks Laura! i want to see in my lifetime how much stronger and mobile i can get!
Yes its so individual, also when we understand that everyones gut microbiome is unique (even identical twins), its seems logical that some thrive on a carnivore diet or a vegan for others or keto etc. Wish people could be more understanding of that.
Ah i think i eat wayyy too much even for me, im only little, 5'2, but i think food is yummy and my stomach is a bottomless pit! Also i envy you, i wish i could feel satiated with less, i can tell my body doesnt really. need that much I just like the act of eating lol.
If you're ever in London let me know, would be great to go for a run or do some calisthenics! best of luck with your fitness journey! @@LauraTryUK
Laura, I absolutely love your videos! I found your channel this year and just love all of the information you share and all of the things you try to see what kind of results you can get. I appreciate it so much. This video has helped me as this is a similar meal plan I have recently transitioned to for optimal health for myself. This has given me a lot of encouragement and motivation. Thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward to more updates. Have a blessed day!
Thank you for your lovely comment. And great work on the transition for better health 👊
Thanks Laura, such a helpful and informative video. There is so much information in there I’m gonna have to watch it again! 😆I can see that plan is really working for you because your face looks visibly different!! You are glowing!
What a difference! The first thing I noticed was your skin! You are glowing! You are looking fabulous! Definitely inspirational! Xx
Thank you so much 🙏
I was thinking the same thing. Laura’s skin looks amazing!
@@taniakamis1219 It's great that she had found something that works so well for her! Xx
Hi Laura. I'm 65 now. I cut right down on carbs about 10 years ago when looking for solutions to a very bad (sometimes crippling and almost suicidal) anxiety phase (it ran from my mid 40s to mid 50s). I started by removing bread then, due to feeling an improvement, quickly followed with all grains (cereals, pasta, pizzas, etc.). I honestly felt like I was ageing backwards! Since then, I have found that I have gradually lost almost all inclination to even eat even vegetables and fruit. I have some occasionally and probably eat some form of legumes once a week or so (peas are a favourite). Other than that, mostly red meat, fish, eggs, chicken breast, high fat cheese (extra mature cheddar, parmesan) and full fat plain cottage cheese. The fats I use are almost all animal, mainly beef dripping and butter, but with occasional olive oil. I can't imagine ever changing as I feel very good eating like this. Obviously, I can't put the end of my problem anxiety down to just food as I have also worked on changing my outlook and my life circumstances in general have gradually changed but the food has definitely helped I'm sure.
Sounds like an amazing transformation! Interesting you say that you can’t put the end of your problem with anxiety down to just food. I follow Dr Anthony Chaffee, a neurosurgeon who advocates Carnivore/Primal eating and it’s incredible reading the comments from people who have completely overcome their issues with anxiety and depression. It seems that it really is the food first…all the best 😊
@@joevans5713 I'm sure that good food must help with everything. Other factors will no doubt have affected my mood too though. I seem to have gone through a classic mid-life crisis as do many others regardless of what they eat.
Hey Adm, thank you for sharing your experience - sharing with me and others.
I am so pleased you have found some solutions and are feeling better.
You got me at the peas and parmesan, to be honest - oh wow, yum!
It sounds as though your gut receptors are happy, which has also moved into improved mental health. If you get a chance, listen to this podcast, it; 's fascinating: ua-cam.com/video/rW9QKc-iFoY/v-deo.htmlsi=_ZYRazunps5223Wm
You need carbs especially if your are lifting weights they are as important as protein you need good gut health for mental and physical health only from a varied diet will you get that including fermented food
@@michelles2299Not necessarily- there are many people who have been eating a primal/ancestral/carnivore diet for years - even decades. They have reversed obesity and processed-food driven disease states, and appear to have reversed and/or slowed the aging process in their bodies. They have lost significant amounts of fat, especially visceral fat, have normalised their lab results and have gained muscle mass and strength with relatively little effort.
This includes people in their 60s, 70s and 80s and is all done on zero or near zero carb intake. Carbohydrates are not needed as the body converts the excess protein they eat into carbohydrate (glucose and glycogen) in a metabolic process called gluconeogenesis.
It is amazing to read these anecdotes across numerous forums and platforms. It would be more amazing to see randomised, double-blind studies on these types of metabolically damaged people before and after they embark on this lifestyle to document it scientifically. Sadly there is zero financial gain, incentive or profit to be had to initiate such a trial, if the results were to support the anecdotal evidence. In fact the cost to the modern medical machine would be enormous if people were able to heal themselves by eating a proper human diet. We each must take our health into our own hands and be certain that the authors of health studies and information do not have any conflicts of interests or coercion, to realise a particular result. Unfortunately greed is a great motivator.
Fantastic information and advice. Well done!!
Hello, from Ontario, Canada. Been watching some of your videos and pretty impressed how you like to try new things! Keep it up! :)
Super interesting, thank you! I was a long time vegetarian and went vegan for 2 years. This year I worked with a dietician and reintroduced meat (only chicken for now) and fish. My period cramps went away and bowel movements improved. I think as a woman in our 40s, our needs change and the under nutrition catches up with you. I haven’t seen physical results like yours though, well done!
great work on making improvements! and fantastic you are feeling better!
I've gone hard on this plan and the exercise, which would have been why I got quite high results.
The supplements would have helped too!
Are you weight training?

Do get some beef! What a tasty game changer!
As a former amateur bodybuilder, I can say that I felt the best in my 60+ years when I trained and ate like a bodybuilder 30 years ago (meat, complex carbs). I'm trying to go more plant-based now since following a Dharma path and that doesn't jive with eating meat, so getting enough plant-based protein without supplements will be difficult. That said, if eating more organic and sustainable/humanely reared meat will give me less brain fog and fix a torn rotator cuff (been nursing this injury for over 10 years), I'm all in. Good to see you back on YT... PS; love your Always pan!!! I need to get one of those as my Calphalon non-stick is now sticking after years of use...
As a layperson you can practice Buddhism without being a vegetarian
Hell, since I went carnivore, life has never been better!
I'm vegan and have seen videos on how to get enough protein that way...but then again, I'm a 5'3" woman soooo....that's different. BUT nonetheless, if someone offers you some deer meat??? JUMP ON IT! Maybe you could also buy some backyard eggs...or raise your own chickens! ANYway, I get you and GOOD LUCK!
Grab yourself a car iron skillet at a thrift store and learn to use em, they last.. well, I use my great grandma's skillet from the 40's, still.
Arnie and many others prove you can be plant based and a body builder. Don't fall for the myth of meat equals muscle.
Missed you! Glad to watch a new video ❤
