General Discussion / Denise Minger on fruit

Denise Minger makes, in my opinion, a great case that fruit is totally paleo and we needn't fear sweet.

Hi, you'all. I posted in some other places... I'm old to raw but brand new to raw meat. I've looked around this site a bunch over the past few days, and I'm ecstatic to have found this place. There's so much information here. I'm not sure I know where to begin. I guess I'll just begin.
I know it's cliche and been done a million times, but if anyone has any "newbie" advice- I'm all ears. I've got some grass-fed beef thawed out in the fridge, and I've been craving butter recently. I was thinking of just liberally spreading butter all over my meat. Do others do that? Maybe coconut milk at some point, too, if I'm feeling.
And, though I deeply regret my embarrassing phase of eating only fruit last year, I still do absolutely love tropical fruit. Right now I have a tray full of persimmons, a giant jackfruit ripening, and several pounds of fresh dates in the kitchen. Oh, and a mamey sapote or two. If anyone ever wants to talk fruit- I'm your guy.
I'm just trying to find the right balance. Recently I've been going in phases of eating tons and tons of meat, then getting really sick of it and eating mostly fruit for a while (where is where I'm at right now). I'm sure I'll find a balance between the two, as I progress.
Thanks, everyone, for this very professional forum. The vegan ones are ghettos. I just wish I had found this place a year ago.

Primal Diet / butter?
« on: November 05, 2011, 08:31:36 pm »
Hi, everyone. I'm very new to this. Old to raw, but new to raw meat. I've looked around the site a bunch in the last few days, and a lot of my questions are answered, but-
After years of deficiency from a mostly-vegan diet, I'm finding my body craving animal fats in particular, more than protein. I haven't eaten cheese in several months, and don't really want to, but I'm craving (real, fermented) butter. Do people just add butter to their raw meat? Last night I melted the butter and added it to some ground lamb. I figured too much nutrition couldn't be lost in a brief melting. Am I wrong, though? If you don't melt do you sort of just spread the butter in? Why does that repulse me? And does butter even need to be refrigerated?
All I know is that my stomach gurgled with happiness when the butter hit.

Any additional suggestions for a newbie are really appreciated, too. My assumption is that what I liked cooked I'll like raw. Lamb, beef, certain seafood.... Anyway, thanks graciously.
