Welcome my dear friend Hannibal. :)

Welcome to the forum! It usually takes c.8-12 months in order to get used to eating raw animal foods. It can be a bit of an issue if one regularly mixes raw and cooked foods , though, as they require different digestive processes - for example, after being mostly raw for almost a decade, I get certain nasty side-effects if I eat certain cooked foods like chips("crisps" in US slang, I think?)

Welcome!

Also, I don't think "crisps" is us slang.

Chips are what we call packaged thin sliced potatoes, often flavored. i.e. Pringles or Ruffles.
French fries are what we call the things you brits eat with fish (that I thought you called chips) I think. We would get them at McDonalds as an example.

Ah, so it's "french fries" not crisps.

I know that it is not too good, I will adapt slowly.  ;)

Welcome, Viola!

I transitioned overnight without any particular difficulty, except that I felt somewhat hungry till I found a sufficiently broad choice of suitable foods. We are adapted to raw, no problem.

Welcome!

I also am new, it takes time to switch to raw paleo, even if you feel totally committed.  I have made it to eating all of my fruits and meat raw, but first I had to find good sources for those foods, which took time.  I still have to find a source for raw dairy, or I might give it up.  For me it comes down to health rather than if the food is genuinely paleo.  I am convinced from what I have read (Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes, Primal Body--Primal Mind by Nora Gedgaudas and other literature) that grains, starchy vegetables and legumes are very poor food choices.  So I naturally eliminated those foods first.  That was really the hard part as high carbohydrate foods are really addictive!  I think cooked food might also contain addictive chemicals. 

Welcome again and good luck!!
