Just sayin hi as I joined up today. It's my 3rd day of 100% raw meat/no carb and I'm excited to be on a path of indestructible health and vitality. I'm an MMA fighter (currently recovering from a dislocated elbow). I've consumed raw meat for a few years now but also cooked meat and carbs which has hindered me from getting as lean and healthy as i want to be. Anyway the extreme cravings for carbs over the last few days have confirmed for me that I'm on the right track finally! I don't like weakness and my carb addiction is a weakness, therefore it must go. I am of mostly viking decent so my ancestry lived where it was far from tropical, therefore it only makes sense that sugars would effect me in an ill way and they do. Any carbs stick to me like glue and I have had enough of that. I'm eating raw grass fed beef, raw cage free eggs and cod liver oil. Already my mind seems more stable and even though I havn't been able to work out for a month (because of injury) my muscles have improved in the last few days and my little inch of stubborn belly fat is shrinking, this is awesome, when I get back to my MMA training and strength training there will be no more pinch an inch for me lol bout time. I think I'm gonna go post in other categories now so anyway hi, nice to meet you all, glad to see theres other hardcore primal beasts out there like me, willing to step outside the hurd of sheep and be the lions we really are :-)

I would be careful re the notion of carbs/glue etv. Many people don't do well on zero-carb(but do fine on low-carb). I'm such an example(despite hailing from Viking ancestors, originally). What I mean is if, while transitioning to zero-carb, you're just feeling a few aches and pains, then carry on with it. But, if you start feeling more like a desperate need to visit the hospital(re bleeding gums, unquenchable thirst, weakened teeth or whatever it might be), I would suggest readding carbs, forthwith.

Agreed, and no offence to those consuming carbs in a raw state, it's more the type of carbs I was eating that were acting like glue on me. And for sure if my health goes down hill I will reintroduce some carbs, only raw veg. and a little fruits most likely. However after 5 days I feel like my body is starting to convert fats and proteins into glucose more efficiantly, my energy was a lot lower 2 days ago than it is now :-)

I was never an athlete, I just played football / soccer just for fun in school.
I do watch some MMA on YouTube and the local Philippine MMA matches.
Wow, MMA fighter. :o
Can we preview your fights on YouTube?

Hello!
I don't eat carbs at the moment either. Presently that seems to be working for me.
I look forward to reading your experiences as they unfold! What does your wife think about your eating raw meat?

She wishes she had the strength to be as uncompromising with her diet as I am, she is supportive and after watching my physical and mental improvemeants I'm confident she will eventually be doing the same or similar.

go to the link ( No Mercy Extreme Cagefighting) you may have to sign up to become a member (it's free)
then click on fight videos, then click on past events, go to Anialation 15 and click on the Ison Harness fight. It's an older fight, it goes close to the 3rd round before I knock the guy out. It's one of the only videos I have acess to right now of my fights. I could show you the one where I won my title belt but it's actually a very boring fight. This one is more entertaining overall. Hopefully you can access the site and see it. Let me know if it works out.

thanks
lol ya, basically the guy was getting lazy because I never showed him any dangerous punches throughout the fight so i lulled him to sleep and then got the easy shot lol
I love standup fighting because I can take anybody's shots (not that that guy could strike but i have been whaled on by some real big boys) and smile but now that I've had my but handed to me by a gracie ju-jitsu guy my focus is the submission game. If you cant beat em join em, and then beat em lol.

Now I'm even more interested in MMA. Rooting for an RPDer!!!

Yeah, I may have to start following MMA myself now.

Thanks guys :-)
