Happy birthday Sully!!

Well, then, by all means! *bows*










 

Good to hear from you Lex!
I'm glad that you're recovering from the "Week of Horror"!
And I do hope you are able to get off the medication eventually!
But once again, compared to most Americans that are your age and even younger, one medication is nothing!   

Take care!

Awesome Keith! You really should think about making an official testimonial! 
Here's to all things that improved! I'm sure the eyesight will come - even if only a few diopters. Are you nearsighted?

Craig

Like to go on the website? That would be way cool! 

Woah, I just came across this picture...




Wouldn't it be crazy is mushrooms like that influenced the above sculpture?


Whoops... looks as if the picture was removed or something

Is it best to use less fatty meat when making high meat, or does it not matter?
Round cuts are usually pretty lean, and organs typically don't have much fat.

Also, cool avatar, btw!
It certainly is beautiful Paleo art!

I agree 

Don't think I could eat that many organs though, I would have to have some people to share with! Any takers? 

Hey Stephen!
It's so great that we're getting so many new members these days (not that I've been here for very long at all, haha!)

I'm glad to hear that you're doing well with the diet!
Stay strong, friend!

Ah yes, I think I've read that. It was extremely interesting!
I'll go check right now to make sure that what I read is actually what you're talking about

Edit:

What I read was this: http://www.westonaprice.org/men/splendidspecimens.html
which was in fact written by Randy Roach. But it seems as if he's written a book called Muscle, Smoke & Mirrors, which is much more comprehensive

Welcome Steve!!

Here's a to a speedy rest of your recovery and successful training after that!

How did you find us by the way?

Craig

Ah, well I will do my best to answer that question. Sorry, it might get a little long!

Let's see, I would always be searching the internet for natural things to help my mood... someone had hurt me a great deal, and I just couldn't get over it or stop it from running through my mind over and over again. So I would try all sorts of herbal supplements and whatnot. Somehow I stumbled upon a website about the paleo diet, and read it and it made sense... about grains being bad and everything.
Well, I still ate pizza a good deal and still ate my sprouted breads and cereals. This was I think around last March or so.

Then, on the nutrition section of a bodybuilding forum I go to, I came across a thread by a guy who eats 100% raw, including meat. He was very muscular and looked very healthy, and I couldn't help but be interested in what he was saying... raw meat? Really? That can't be healthy... can it?

So I did some more google searching, and came across the Wai diet. The information on this website convinced me that cooking food is not good and that raw can be safe and healthy. I stopped eating my sprouted breads and cereal, and started eating raw eggs and a little bit later, raw fresh fish. I was also eating LARGE amounts of fruit, as I had joined a raw vegan forum (I wasn't a vegan obviously, but it was the only large raw forum that I had found). Everyone on this forum was convinced that green smoothies were the key to life and that the best ratio of nutrients was 80/10/10  C/P/F.
So I ate lots of fruit and veggies, green smoothies, nuts and seeds, and a few eggs everyday, and some fish here and there.
 I would have been eating meat, but I certainly wasn't going to buy any grocery meat, especially not to eat raw.
Eating this way, I felt a bit better healthwise, but not great by any means. And I was getting really skinny, which I wasn't too happy about. And I had awful gas  : (not as bad as when I would eat large amounts of oats in my pre-raw days though!)

Now I don't remember exactly how I came across this forum... I think I was just searching and came across the yahoo group and found a link to the raw paleo website. I didn't join it until I found some grass-fed beef at a nearby grocery store and ate it raw. It was then that I felt "qualified" to join!

Anyway, I feel sooo much healthier since starting to eat this way:
-improved sleep
-improved energy
-improved mood (more control over my thoughts as well)
-improved allergies
-no more ringing in my ears
-no more gas (ever!)
-less muscle aches (back pain was a problem)
-better skin


I wish I could say improved eyesight was a benefit, but sadly none yet... I'd LOVE to not have to wear glasses anymore.


anyway, that was my little narrative/testimonial 

Now here's a question...
is there a distinct advantage to high meat over other fermented foods such as pickles, sauerkraut, etc.? (providing they are unheated and one is not on an all-meat diet)

I've just started eating sauerkraut and pickles as they are supposed to contain live enzymes and beneficial probiotics, and I'm wondering if high meat is truly superior
