Four Meat Days a Year: 20 cm Lost, Zero Pills at 41 - SHUMFA Protocol, Kikuyu, Dodoma-Saving 1,875 TZS/day by Avoiding Community Daily Robo Kilo (0.25 kg) - 4 Sacred Meat Days Only - 5.3M TZS/5 Years Total Benefit

Background: In Dodoma City Tanzania typical urban families purchase robo kilo 0.25 kg up to 3 kg meat daily. At mean market price 13,500 TZS/kg (12,000-15,000 TZS/kg) at Soko Kuu September 2026 robo kilo costs 3,375 TZS/day meat alone. With accompaniments (ugali/rice 1,500, oil 800, spices/vegetables 700, charcoal/gas 500 = 3,500 TZS/day) total cost is 6,875 TZS/day = 206,250 TZS/month. This daily meat pattern correlates with 38% hypertension by age 40 and 42% abdominal obesity >94 cm by age 41 in Tanzanian men (NBS 2022). Objective: To document health and cost outcomes of SHUMFA Protocol Kikuyu Dodoma where meat is limited to 4 sacred astronomical days per year (98.9% plant-based) versus community daily robo kilo.

At mean market price 13,500 TZS/kg (12,000-15,000 TZS/kg) at Soko Kuu September 2026 robo kilo costs 3,375 TZS/day meat alone. With accompaniments (ugali/rice 1,500, oil 800, spices/vegetables 700, charcoal/gas 500 = 3,500 TZS/day) total cost is 6,875 TZS/day = 206,250 TZS/month. This daily meat pattern correlates with 38% hypertension by age 40 and 42% abdominal obesity >94 cm by age 41 in Tanzanian men (NBS 2022).
