Glad to hear that you're continuing to make good progress dan!Thank Michael. I'm very happy too.
I had no intention of absolutely denouncing the eating of pre-ground or frozen meat so I hope I did not give this impression. I just wanted to point out the important points worthy of consideration to raw-al and anybody else that reads it. Of course, we all make our own choices based on our own perception of the evidence and our own circumstances. I can also clearly see the attraction of pre-ground frozen meats from a convenience and financial perspective and, if my circumstances were different, would not entirely rule out eating such foods myself.I know you didn't. I just wanted to add in a bit more of my 2 cents with more recent experience.
I'd be interested in any links to studies or information which has informed your doubts regarding the extent of protein denaturation resulting from freezing.I fly by the seat of my pants Michael. If it makes me feel good then it's ok in my book. I love science but do not spend time reading up on many studies so usually have no hard evidence to back up my anecdotal findings.
Hope you're laying off those berries?!!Absolutely. The last fruit I had were about a half dozen lingonberries, maybe a month ago, off of plants my mother planted this year. They were nice and tart which was nice. I also didn't notice an issue with my Candida afterwards but did have a small bit of joint pain so will not make it a regular occasion.
Sorry to bump this post but my friend has been suffering from Eczema for 20 years. It's like a light switch. Going on when it's dry (Humid weather in Singapore), going off when it isn't.Dwight; you answered your question yourself. He see the changes that you've had eating RPD and seems receptive. Help him figure out how to change his diet to help with the eczema. Sunlight and everything else will help but a change to his diet should have the most noticeable effect IMO.
I don't really want to recommend moisturizer, so is there another option for my friend? I have searched about the VCO detox and the steps are well, pretty complicating for a n00b like me.
However, I have recommended large amounts of sunlight exposure. Would swimming at the beach be a good idea? The swimming complex is kinda boring if we're going in a big group and playing some sports. Fishing would be nice but I'm not a good fisher, I only know how to catch prawns with specialized poles and crabs with my bare hands. That's about it. Spear-fishing is impossible in Singapore, water is not visible enough to spear underwater. One thing about fishing worries me is the pollution of the water. Free Sashimi! And renting a yacht would be SGD$600 for 3-5 hours, depending on fishing season and rates.
Sorry for typing this much. I've known him for 8 years, and he was curious why my acne looked better now and (it was horrible last year) so I told him about this diet and when I mentioned Eczema, he lit up. No matter how vengeful the sun was, he always had a cardigan on and refused to remove it to cover them I think. The cardigan's made of 100% cotton I think. So I hope I am able to help him.
Arigatou gozaimasu.
My teacher in my health science class is trying to tell the class that meat takes four days to digest. He also tells them that it will build up in your intestines as gunk, to the point that you will need surgery to cut out the parts that are too clogged up with gunk. He also told us that John Wayne was found to have 50 pounds of rotten meat in his intestines, when they autopsied him. Snopes denies this fact as true. I really don't know what to think of this because the class seems to believe him except for me. I also stated in class about the study I read with the man with a gunshot wound in his stomach, which showed cooked meat to digest in 3 - 4 hours and raw meat to digest within 1 - 2, and the teacher basically just said "our research is different." What kind of answer is that?What a lousy teacher. And teaching science no less.
Thanks for the tips. I have a bottle of Bragg's ACV (with the mother), so maybe I'll try putting a few tablespoons into the fresh apple juice as an inoculant.Put the whole mother in; you don't need it in the vinegar now. yuli is right about the cheesecloth though that would be the best way to culture it as it's getting all the air it needs.
Are using weights necessary for body building/putting on mass? Its hard to switch exercises quickly when you are changing weights.No, but as Brother points out they are much more effective at building mass. You can do bodyweight exercises as well which will build strength but it's not going to do it as quickly or visibly as weights. You'll also have to get creative with bodyweight exercises to keep building strength as well (handstand push-ups, etc).
Has anybody made ACV before? I figure that I can just bottle fresh raw apple juice, and let it ferment all the way. Or is it more complicated?The raw cider vinegar sold in the store has been cultured from a mother much like Kumbucha. You should conceivably be able to make it without in the manner you're describing but it might not work quite right. Also make sure you get regular air into the bottle or else you're going to be making cider jack.
I have a slight allergy towards raw eggs. Nothing specific, I just don't seem to absorb them as well as raw meats, with more frequent bathroom/toielt visits as a result, if I overdo them.I'm the same.
Better late than never raw-al! Sorry, I must've missed this one and it's probably no longer important.Michael, the bulk of my meat the past few months has been pre-ground as it's the cheapest my farmer has. His standards are so high though that I have no problems from the meat at all. I do notice the brisket, when I get it, is a bit more nourishing but it's all relative to the quality that you begin with. It's all frozen meat as well FWIW.
In my view, the 2 things to be aware of with eating ground meat are i) industrial cleaners and other toxic residues from commercially produced ground meat and ii) the timeframe between grinding and consumption. I think I provided a link to studies elsewhere regarding the important issue of lipid oxidation in ground meats (let me know if you can't find it!). My suggestion would be to only eat meat ground at home and consumed on the same day.
Having said that, I am aware that Lex's mono-diet of ground pet food and fat does not satisfy these requirements and he has still made significant improvements in health. He buys pre-ground 'pet food' meat from Slankers which, I believe, is frozen. I don't know if he's consulted with Slankers about any potential industrial chemical pollution. Being frozen he will, at least, be reducing the lipid oxidation factor although freezing, itself, is not without it's drawbacks (as I understand it) as far as protein damage is concerned. Admirably, Lex does openly admit that convenience and the ability to attain sufficient good health to enjoy life are his driving motivations.
sully by that logic heavy squats and deadlifts aren't natural because nothing in the life is a true squat or deadlift we run one leg at a time as well as walk. pretty much every lower body movement is done one leg at a time, my point is the ab wheel can effectively train your abdominals as well as your lats in the manner the abs were are designed to work resist spinal hyperextension and flexion... squats and deadlifts arent natural neither are shoes and shirts, nor freezing raw meat for preservation. I'm just saying the ab wheel can be used extensively especially for training and is more natural than a crunch.
However were I to do so I would cut them and hang them upside down in the house wherever fine herbs are hung.This is how my family has always dried herbs and it works fantastically.
iLift about 4 to5 days a week and have not been doing cardio bc I can't run that well but I think it is getting because my once broken leg is getting strongerYou might be over-training and taxing your body. I'd recommend lightening up on the number of days a week and give yourself time to rest up. If you are building muscle better (through adequate recuperation time) you'll burn the fat more efficiently. Just something to consider.
you were focusing on it. I get stomach pains sometimes just ignore themIs your meat grass or grain finished Wodg?
It's opening night tonight for my play... woohoo... I'm so excited!!Good luck with it Ioanna.
For those of you who buy marrow, where do you get it and how is it packed?I buy it from my farmer. It's vacuum packed in heavy plastic, two or three bones per bag.
I am on page 40 of this thread. I have tried to open your manual on pemmican and get a blank page. Any suggestions on how to download the manual?http://www.rawpaleoforum.com/display-your-culinary-creations/lex%27s-$10-beef-jerky-maker-and-recipes/
oh, i meant to comment about that... carbonated water would do that to me... i don't drink it anymore, and if i did try it again, it would be on an empty stomach. not saying it's not detox, though... not sure...I have one brand, Saratoga, which I do indulge in occasionally. So long as I don't go overboard (a whole 1 liter bottle in one sitting or more than 1 bottle a week) it doesn't give me problems. I haven't had any in well over a month but we stopped at the stoe that stocks it yesterday so I had to buy some.
So it would I be pushing it to say you 'enjoyed' the high meat?? ... Maybe more of an 'acceptance'?I think accept is a good term. Or acknowledged why it was as it was without judging good or bad.
I'm trying to make my first high meat now (as of yesterday), but it's from pre-frozen. I've never had fresh meat yet. I know places like North Star Bison, and US Wellness ship fresh meat.. do you think that is truly fresh though?? I don't think my farmer would do it, or maybe if I was willing to pick up on their processing day... hmmm, idk.I haven't purchased from either so I couldn't tell you how fresh it truly is. I have doubts due ot the scale they sell at any given time but anything is possible. I think through your farmer might be the best bet.
