- Warm your plate in the oven (very low!) while cooking your meals so that it keeps the meat warm while eating.
- You do not need the highest quality cooking equipment, BUT it can make the diet easier and more pleasant if you have the means.
- Buy a food heating pad to reheat meals at work. Works great! But don’t forget about it while reheating, it can easily overcook your food.
- Be careful with slow-cooking meat, as the histamines increase and it can be harder to digest.
- Buy unaged meat whenever possible. Believe it or not most meat you buy from the grocery store is aged AT LEAST a couple weeks. The aging of the meat makes digestion difficult for many, especially those who are sick. Ask your local butcher for unaged meat. They may not know what you’re talking about so you may have to explain that you want meat that hasn’t been hung. Instead, you’d rather have your meat cut up immediately upon slaughter and flash frozen if possible. If you’re after unaged meat, try eating bison or lamb, instead of beef. Bison and lamb are usually not aged like beef. BetterFed Beef offers unaged meat.
- Proper cooking is extremely important on this diet. For many, if the meat is underdone it is difficult to digest and if it is overdone, not only is it difficult to digest, but the nutrients have been destroyed. I know it’s tempting to watch TV, go on your phone, play games, etc. while cooking, but I promise you’ll end up worsening your quality of cooking and ultimately your health by not focusing on the task at hand.
