This is the protocol.
Beef.
Liver.
Fish when I have it.
Salt.
One meal a day.
No powder.
No stack.
No miracle.
87 kg → 77 kg.
Strength kept.
First 5 km in 30 minutes.
The gym started working
when the food got simpler.
I’ll keep posting the numbers.
Lift. Run. Meat.

Veterans Day.
The ones who showed up needed fuel that lasted. Not a crash every two hours.
Fatty meat. One meal. Steady strength the rest of the day.
The body already has the reserve. You just stop burning it on sugar.

What is the best part of Brazil today?
The airport.
My great-grandparents came here from Italy and found unclaimed land covered in pine trees;
they used the timber to build houses and sheds, and the scraps to fuel fires for roasting meat.
Later, they raised pigs and grew tobacco.
My grandfather moved into cultivating soybeans and corn, and added a poultry farm.
My parents still work with dairy cattle today.
As for me, I now provide technical assistance to farmers and fishermen in Barra Velha, Santa Catarina.
My life today is much more dynamic, with access to better healthcare and far more information than all my ancestors combined.
Yet, everything built over 100 years and four generations has been eroded by inflation, inheritance taxes, and market shifts.
So, how can one preserve accumulated wealth?
Bitcoin seems to be the only viable option.
And even though I am in the "best" part of Brazil, I realize there are many better places in the world.
I don’t know what people elsewhere did differently

In Brazil today, my salary is enough to survive, but actually *living*—that’s another matter. Even though I’m in the best place in the country, I’m still subject to the crazy laws coming out of Brasília. One thing here that really disappoints me is that homeschooling is prohibited; for this reason, I am putting a plan in motion to emigrate.

The problem with living in Brazil is that any attempt to improve one’s quality of life requires a great deal of hard work. By the time you cover things like buying better-quality food or frequenting more upscale places, there’s nothing left to save—for instance, buying good cuts of meat is barely even feasible.

What is it like to live in Brazil?
How good can life be here?
For me, it’s reasonably good;
I have a stable job earning 10,000 reais a month,
which is enough to cover my bills,
go out on the weekends,
and travel during my vacations.
I have a university degree
and live on the coast of Santa Catarina.

A Sunday lunch full of appetizers.
Chicken isn’t an essential part of a carnivore diet, but there are two cuts I eat regularly:
the hearts and the tail
(parson’s nose).

The strip steak is one of the best cuts of beef, but there’s also some sausage and garlic bread there that really brings down the look of it.

I really want to try reindeer meat.
The Nordic diet sold in wellness magazines was designed in Copenhagen this century, and the Vikings would not have recognised a single fat in it.
The Nordic diet they sell you:
- Berries, cabbage and root vegetables
- Rye, oats and barley
- Beans and peas
- Rapeseed oil
- Fish, and less meat
- Red meat capped at 350g a week, and less again for the planet
The Nordic diet that built some of the tallest people on earth:
- Butter on everything, lard in the pan
- Salted pork and mutton through the winter
- Herring, cod and cod liver
- Brown cheese in Norway, skyr in Iceland
- Smørrebrød with liver pâté in Denmark
- Reindeer in Lapland, whale and seal on the coast
The first list began as a manifesto signed by a group of chefs in 2004 and became a research diet at the University of Copenhagen. The second began with a sheep on a hillside and a cow in a byre, and it carried the north through the Viking age and the little ice age without once asking a chef.
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland: the butter was the Nordic diet. Put it back on the rye.

While walking around the ENAF fitness expo and congress, I ran into a great bodybuilding athlete, Júlio Balestrin.

2026 is proving to be a year of many changes in my life.
I had my first child,
moved to a coastal town, and now walk along the beach every single day.
But the biggest change of all has been discovering the carnivore diet;
my health has improved in every respect.
I’ve lost 10 kg without losing any muscle,
and I live free from hunger
—
I always feel satisfied after a meal, and I feel light, without that heavy, bloated sensation in my gut.
Moving forward, my focus is on finishing my studies so I can pursue a better job.
