Chef Harry’s 21 Day LCHF Intro/Reset

We have a bunch of guides for you to read. They pretty much cover everything you need to know about low carb high fat eating from a Primal point of view. Remember, Paleo is no dairy and Primal allows certain dairy products (as long as they’re full fat)! Once you’ve read the Guides, you can start the daily tasks. Each daily task is in a separate post that are listed after this post. Good luck!

  3. Primal Avoid at a Glance
  4. Primal Approved Foods

21 Day Ketosis Focus

21 Day Ketosis Focus Plan

When you’re in ketosis your body is running on fat. The fat you eat or, more importantly, the fat on your body! To get there you have to eat low carb. Really low carb. How low can you go? 50g a day would be the max. 20g ideal! Can you do it? I am here to help you get there! In the past 20,000 years carbs, sugar and glucose have taken over as being the dominant fueling process. Get back to being a fat burning beast like we were designed to be and get in to ketosis! If you’ve been eating a low carb, high fat diet for at least a month, you’re ready for this challenge. To get into deep ketosis, you’ll need to do some fasting, but that is up to you! This challenge is for keto experts and novices alike!

I’m not calling this a “meal plan” because for me serious ketosis means you don’t eat much! And I really would like you to eat simple, whole food meals. Bacon and eggs for breakfast, or a big salad with protein and good fat on it, a simple piece of fish sauteed or baked with some broccoli or asparagus. I bought a air fryer and it cooks a piece of salmon beautifully in about 10 minutes. I bought it at Costco where you can also buy wild caught salmon in the frozen section. I prefer wild fish to any farm raised fish (except catfish or trout) even if its frozen. Go wild!

Getting into ketosis will help you burn fat and lose weight. You’ll feel better, be more energetic and get great sleep! There is not a whole lot of eating and there is some fasting involved. We do one 24 hour fast in week one and then another 48 hour fast in week two. In a 24 hour fast you would only eat one meal for the day. I do this a lot. After those two fasts, fasting is up to you. I have a book recommendation for fasting and you should read that book before starting. And as always, Check With Your Doctor!

OK, let’s go!

Strategy for Getting into Ketosis

Ok, so, we’re all set, right?! You get into Ketosis by not eating a whole lot of food. I’ve been in and coached a lot of Primal Challenges and a lot of times people would complain about all the cooking they have to do. Not here! Minimal cooking, minimal eating. Snacking would not be good. So if you’re hungry and you’re going to eat something, eat a meal, not a snack. Why? Because you’ll just snack again a little later! And don’t eat 10 “Keto” meals in a day. Individually they might be OK, but the numbers add up. Try and get yourself to the point where you can eat OMAD (One Meal A Day)! We do OMAD one day in Week 1, then we do a 48 hour fast in Week 2. If you want to do anymore fasting, that would be up to you. If you’re on Facebook be sure to send me a request to join my group Harry’s Primal Food Group and we can talk and share pics. You can also leave comments at the end of this post.

So in this meal plan, Days 1, 8 and 15 are Sundays. However, if your “big meal” day is different (like Saturday), adjust accordingly (so Day 1 is a Saturday)! OK, let’s go!

Congratulations!

Well, you made it! Hopefully you cut the carbs way down and are now a fat burning beast. Maybe you’ve even lost a little weight! I turned Primal in August 2014. I lost 70 pounds over the next 14 months. That’s 5 pounds a month. Its not all going to come off in one fell swoop! Besides being able to move around more easily and even being able to start working out, there were other benefits. I got off my high blood pressure medication. My blood pressure is now perfect! I got off my Type II diabetes medication. My A1C is good and going down! I’m going to be eating Primal for the rest of my life. I hope you do too and I hope I helped start you out going in the right direction! Thanks for your participation!

If you would be so kind as to give me some feedback on the challenge, I’d like to use some of your comments as testimonials for promoting the challenge and getting new participants. And I would also appreciate if you would spread the word!! Thanks! Good luck and stay Primal!
