Notes about this video.

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.

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 🙏

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)

People love to talk about environmental issues from meat but they don’t look into what vegetable farming does to the land. You’re doing what’s best for your body and thats that! You’re an animal on this planet too and you deserve a healthy life!

[nickdutton]

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!

[WillChidlow]

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!

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!

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!
