Title: AV on Ripley's
Post by: TheWayCreatesTheWarrior on June 02, 2008, 07:15:33 pm

i think Aajonus Vonderplanitz was on "Ripley's Believe It or Not" some years ago. i remember seeing it on TV before i knew who he was, i think the segment was based on him eating High-Meat. it may not have been AV himself, but someone that followed a Primal Diet.

does anyone have a clip of this?

When was this filmed?  I have not met him in person, but he looks much younger in the more recent photos/clips I have watched.

That's a good video.
I've only tried high meat once and I let it hang out for 1 month.  I had a good time eating it.

Thanks. I really enjoyed that. Aajonus seems like a nice guy.

I found that this video was "created" in 2002
Have you noticed that Aajonus seemed to have a big belly? for example - 1:27 or 3:00

That's not surprising as Aajonus frequently recommends that people constantly raise and lower their weight on the primal diet. He believes that this helps to store toxins in the fat-cells and then get rid of them when the person subsequently loses weight.

    That goes particulary for belly fat, if I am not mistaken.

But is there any solid proof that this kind of practice really works? Maybe some other sources, not AV?

I have no idea, I don't personally view weight-gaining and then dieting as useful as it didn't work for me.

    I know some raw vegans gain and lose weight over and over just due to "detox".

    Aajonus asked me not gain weight, and suspects I might gain so he told me how to lose if that should happen accidentally, as the diet he prescribed me is supposed to keep weight stable.  I'm coming from a metabolism that was basically stopped.  That's my personal experience.
