Eat plenty of raw animal fat
Fat is our main source of energy and the primary tool for detoxification.
Primal Diet™ Rule Card
Fat serves 3 functions: fuel (provides energy), building block (builds tissue — cells, hormones, etc.), and solvent (cleanses the body of toxins and waste).
Fat, not sugar, is our main source of energy. The liver and gallbladder are designed to digest large amounts of fat.
{ "items": [ "Raw animal fats include: raw egg, raw butter, raw cream, raw fat trimmings/suet, raw bone marrow, etc.", "A baseline of 200g of raw fat foods per day is good. More is even better." ] }
We have been exposed to considerable contamination accumulated in our tissues. Fat is the main thing to dissolve, surround, bind to, and enable the expelling of those toxins. A single molecule of mercury could require 50 to 200 fat cells to eliminate from the body.
Since most of the raw fat we eat goes to handle toxins, we need much more of it daily. Eating too little raw fat, most of it would go to toxins, leaving us with little to no energy.
