Ahhhhh-hahaha that was great! 

That certainly is an interesting idea!
You should do it, and see how it goes. And take pics of course

Vitamin C is only found in certain glands like adrenals, not in muscle meat.
i like broccoli, nothing  about it

I used to eat a lot of portabella mushrooms every day over the summer in salads. I stopped because, like Tyler, I didn't feel they were being digested well. I believe they contributed to gas

I'm happy because today, I finally made my deadlift form acceptable. I'm sure it's not perfect, but it's definitely better.
I really needed to focus on keeping my shoulders over the bar, and squeezing the glutes on the way up.

I'm happy because...

1. I'm excited to go home for thanksgiving. Been a few months since I've been home

2. I have a kickass class schedule for next semester. Mostly music classes except for French and yoga, and no classes at all on Tuesdays and Thursdays

3. Speaking of that yoga class, I've been trying to get in it for a couple semesters now but it's always been full. I'm happy because I got the very last open spot available.

Recently I've been a lot more open about my diet.
One of my coworkers started asking me about health and diet so at first I just told her about the Paleolithic diet. She told me she was really interested in it and wanted to know more, so I ended up telling her it was actually raw. Didn't seem to phase her at all.

Other friends recently that have found out said things like it was gross, and "you need to cook your food... aren't you worried about e. coli?" and I simply did some explaining about grass-fed. Then subjects changed and there was no difference. It's not like they ran and hid from me lol.

It took my parents some getting used to, but they saw how serious I was about it, and that I had actually done research and at least thought I knew what I was talking about. I think they view it like Tyler said his parents do.

It says that it's 22% fat, 78% lean.
Not the fattiest ground beef in the world, but up until now the only other ground beef that they've had has been 90/10 I believe.

Hmmm, worth a look. Especially since I know which one i'd rather try first.

Think my problem is that I never try any type of diet for long enough as the withdrawal symptoms get so bad that I just cave in and get back on the high sugar carbs!! Will have to keep working at it and hopefully greak the cycle so that my body adapts to the RPD diet which will take time.

Boxcarguy, get what your saying about being happy all the time. There are quite a few people on this forum who state that they feel that way too after spending time on this diet. That's what I have to work towards. Time will tell. To be honest though, i'm never that unhappy all the time. I suppose its more the anxiety that gets a hold of me and the 'depression' is just secondary. I feel that my adrenals are just pumping all the time and that they are out of sync. Therefore I need to find ways of allowing them to relax and recover and low/ zero carb RPD seems to be the best option with the best results. But who knows!!!

Well I wish you the best in your recovery!
RPD has also brought me a greater sense of calm it seems, and I've noticed this school year that I have been more confident. I never would have, say, struck up conversations with random girls in elevators before, but I find myself doing things like that now.

And I, personally, didn't find it too hard to adapt to the RPD diet, because it wasn't long before my body was craving raw meat instead of junk! Hopefully same goes for you!

Welcome!

did you say 11 lbs of ground beef??!!?!   

Definitely could explain it, especially since vitamin D is a hormone and not actually a vitamin.

Fair enough  I see your point
There is a book called "The Secret Life of Plants" that apparently shows that plants actually are aware. It is dismissed as hogwash by most, but some believe in it. I've never read it so I can't say, but I do believe plants have spirits, and very giving spirits at that.

The killing of animals doesn't bother me, even if they might have had years left to live, because I believe life all comes from the same place (God, if you will) and is in motion together. That is why I have no fear of dying, because I know that my remains will perpetuate new life. It's merely the ego that wishes to hold on, and it's this ego that I'm always trying to diminish.

Anyway, as long as you're not beating yourself up over it 

Whoo this is getting rather philosophical
