Well I’m ready, I’ve been carnivore for quite a while and I’m kind of sick of steak prices, seriously is insane here in Australia, so i'm gonna cut on them and move to ground beef... Problem? I hate it cooked, I’ve eaten it raw before cause my parents are middle eastern so I used to eat it a lot, but mixed with wheat  -X

Now, i didn’t even know where my dad used to get the meat from, they used to say they had a reliable butcher "cause if you gonna eat raw meat you have to make sure is fresh, clean, etc, etc, etc"

I get my meat from the supermarket, is it safe? or  should i find a butcher, ask him if the meat is fresh, ask the cow's name, ID, nationality, etc -_-! sorry…

No, seriously is it dangerous if it is not so fresh? (ok I’ll find out the day when they usually stock) do i have to freeze it for 24hrs? (that's what my mum used to do)?? ?

PS. Don’t make fun of me for knowing nothing about food  -[, it’s because I used to say "the day i move out i'd live on wholegrain sandwiches and skim yogurt with granola  l)

Hi, I'm quite new on this Zero carb/Carnivorous WOE. I've suffered from ED my whole life and a couple of years ago i "discovered" low carb and for the first time in my life i wasn't binging on daily bases... Anyway long story made short: I was still binging, never lost a pound (because of this) but it was better than nothing.

I started VLC and helped a lot, then after reading ZIOH I decided to give ZC a try (i wanted to become a member but i think my personality doesn't fit well in there  -[ and viola, no binges, no urges to, never EVER tired after eating (something i couldn't achieve even with VLC).

ZC definitely is the WOE for me (not raw yet). I'm not convinced human is carnivorous, i really think we evolved consuming  60-70 percent plus from animal kingdom and the rest from plant matter, however it doesn't work for me, I'm a carb addict and after so many year i quit, cant keep fighting against it, i cant eat carbs.


I've got some doubts, i hope you can help me here (paleo/low carb community have really smart members, i don't understand 98% of what you guys talk about lol):

1- If you are 100% carnivorous (i know, i know carnivorous sometimes eat some plant matter), it means you have a totally acid diet, am i right? According to Cordain the balance alkaline-acid is vital in order to prevent depletion on calcium and therefore is more important than calcium in/out concerning to osteoporosis. I'm a women, 22y/o, not consuming any diary and really concerned about it, I'm currently taking calcium supplements (not planing to quit them). Do you have any studies, opinions, theories about this? Are we at high risk of developing osteoporosis?

2- Other vitamin and minerals. I know that if you eat the whole animal you will be getting most micronutrients you need. i.e chicken liver i think it's a great source of Vit C... But what abut others? do you supplement? I think magnesium plays a great role for preventing heart disease, etc.

3- Also, I've read alot about having muscle cramps on ZC, Felling really hot after eating, etc, is that supposed to be normal? Cause i can not imagine a caveman having to suffer from that, I've read about people that after years still suffer from that. It sends me the kind of message as when eating High Carb "you are not doing the right thing". Does it eventually go away? why does it happen?

4- I had other questions but i forgot  -\

I hope someone can help me with the doubts. Thanks a lot guys ;)
