Welcome to the first post of PrimalMail
If you're here you're probably curious about this "tiktok trend" and you've wanted to know what's actually behind it. This talks about the man who started it all.
So, who was he?
Aajonus Vonderplanitz was the self-taught mastermind who started the Primal Diet, which emphasizes the forgotten importance of raw meat, raw dairy, raw eggs, and raw fat, while strongly rejecting processed slop and cooked meat. Not many people know about the greatest piece of information he left behind: "We Want to Live" - Aajonus Vonderplanitz (purchaseable on amazon with great reviews)
Vonderplanitz considered himself self-taught. He developed his dietary approach after facing significant health issues that conventional medicine couldn’t resolve. From this experience, he outlined a comprehensive framework, which includes:
- Choosing raw meats and organ meats over cooked options
- Consuming raw, unpasteurized dairy
- Eating raw eggs
- Using raw animal fat as the main energy source
- Limiting or avoiding cooked and processed foods
- Encouraging regular sun exposure instead of avoiding it.
He even started a private buying club to help people access raw meats and dairy products. For many years, he was a strong advocate for raw foods, challenging the widespread fear surrounding them.
Though Vonderplanitz passed away in 2013, his ideas never did! Today’s primal diet, pushed by popular creators on TikTok, are building on the foundation he laid, whether they acknowledge it or not.
In the next issue, we’ll explore the six essential rules of the Primal Diet in detail.
