I eat a smoothy of eggs, milk and wild reindeer liver a few times a week. Does the body good.

I have also been eating some lard. I know it's not exactly raw but I figured I needed more animal fat. I don't have animal fat or suet yet.

I would stop. I started getting eczema and ended up with a big patch on my neck. Fucking blows.

It is fading now - but I didn't stop and the patch got bigger and bigger.

Wow.. I can just end this thread by saying; It was the mold.

If your meat is moldy something went wrong. Never ever eat any mold. It has shitloads of mycotoxins wich will cause the symptoms you experienced.

The meat is supposed to be nice and sludgy.

Because they are sooo high in sugar, they will cause a lot of inflammation if you over eat them. The key with dates is moderation. Eat a very small handfull at once no more than that. And eat them slowly.

I don't like the whole fat thing either.

First off you wont find the huge amount of fat on wild animals that RPD people claim you need.

So for example if you were to hunt a young buck or a reindeer they will have very small amounts of fat on them. Unlike domesticated animals.

I definitely think fat is crucial, but in small amounts. Carbs are not the enemy.

Have you tried 50% fruit and the rest from animal protein and fat? It seems to work for me.

Yeah, I tried it for weeks. It gives me indigestion, doesn't go well together in the same day for me

Didn't have time to read up on all the replies but have you been lifting while low carb?

Not low carb. Either high fat or raw carb.

Yes, you can eat sweet potatoes raw, and they are good, but if you buy a bad batch they may be bleh.

I don't get much energy from raw sweet potatoes, in fact they slow me down. And according to my food book here, they have trypsin inhibitors and other stuff, raw.

   He said it in the video.  I'm not sure why 96 came in.

    Ann Wigmore's hair was brown in her early eighties, I never saw roots (although she might have been putting wheat grass on for conditioner), we did speak up close regularly, and I had excellent vision especially for near.  I think Jack's hair looks dyed too though.  It's not just food that helps keep one young and alive anyway.  He looks pretty good.  I still wouldn't believe what he eats unless I see it myself.  We all know he juices, and that's raw low fiber.

That video is 2 years old. And yeah, good point. Ann Wigmore had dark haired color thanks to juicing.

I had to laugh when Jack Lalanne was mentioned. In that video, he certainly looks a pale, sickly shadow compared to certain, clearly photoshopped images I've seen of him of him elsewhere online. And " natural hair-colour at 96"?!    Yeah, right    Well, if anything, it does show what botox and other plastic surgery can do for you, if you've got the cash.

Well, he says his hair color is natural in his books and in fact it looks natural to me. He has never done botox. He's had a firm stance against plastic surgery since it began. He's done facial exercises for dozens of years to keep his face like it is.

As usual, the great Tyler, oh so very very smart and everyone else are idiots. :>

maybe this is why you dont gain muscle and want to quit raw paleo?
want put money on this argument here you go lol

 
listen to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebHxRsW2tnU

to work out like a pro you need super nutrition super health and super masages to recover... its my opinion
high itensity is not for everyone its for very healthy people who have the ability to recover fast for example look
at the NBA Lebron james who workouts everyday he is a testosterone beast and is on SAD diet but he never had a problem with his health his glands must be super strong.. good genetics.

Most people in this forum got their glands after a burnout  or tired ones so by telling someone to do high intensity for 2h its like asking to you got the idea

Yeah, because posting a picture of a marathon runner vs a sprinter makes you right jeez. 2 hour intense workout doesn't = cardio at the same pace. I'd never ever train like that.

Rigorous exercise is absolutely vital for recovery. Sounds like you need to stop making excuses and start building up stamina instead of going for 12 minute walks, like a pussy.

wow dude.I think RPD is still experimental at this stage for most people anyway.The groups/societies that did well on it during their time a long time ago,didn't think of themselves as RPD at that time.They just ate what they thought was best, or could find, or adapted to.
I guess you're discovering that for yourself as well.good luck and keep us posted.

Btw,now get ready for the posts that will ask you if you ate enough fats to gain weight

Yeah, I did a high fat period for months. I got fatter, didn't gain muscle and most importantly I felt really gross. That's also what sparked my neck eczema. Trust me - I am no scrub when it comes to RPD. I make daily experiments with food ratio, macro nutrient ratios, chew times, eating schedules, intermittent fasting etc. I don't stop until I've tried every aspect of something.

I'm not sold on RPD anymore. Tried it now for a year or so.

What I think is mostly missing is cooked starch. I've been struggling so hard to gain any weight on RPD. Just couldn't gain any muscle for the life of me. And I was losing muscle slowly. To me that is a serious sign that somethings wrong.

Now for the past 3 weeks I've added cooked starches into my diet and I've gained 2 pounds per week of muscle. And in fact, the eczema on my neck, which I got AFTER I started RPD is clearing up fast. It's about 80% cleared up after I went back on a heavy carb diet.

Other things which were affecting me on RPD are gone. Such as constipation, low energy, etc.

Just look at Jack Lalanne. The guy is 96, still working out, still publishing books, still has a full head of hair and his natural haircolor.

He eats a mix of raw fruits/veg cooked whole grains and starches + cooked meat. Doesn't touch milk though

love this guy.

I dont know why, but sometimes cream can easily be shaken into butter and other times it takes forever and it never separates.

Anybody experienced that?

Yes. I was making butter the other day, I tried two methods. One was just using a food processing beater.

Then the other method was putting it into a blender. The blender ruined it and it would never seperate. Not even if I switched to beaters.

So it has something to do with method

It has to be 110% lean or else the fat will go rancid.

It doesn't need much ventilation in my experience. It has never been inconsistant for me.
