Why would i be feeling tired and be craving extra food?
-
Your body needs to adapt to raw meat. Give it a couple of days and you should feel great.
-
You don't feel heavy and full after eating raw. Sometimes it feels like you've eaten nothing at all. This is the beauty of the diet, you can eat a pound of meat then go hike a mountain. Try doing that on SAD. Stick with the diet, eat enough calories so you don't crave any other crap

I'm still very tired. How long will this last?

You probably need to feed us more info:
your age, your illness / condition, state of health
have you done any detoxing
What time do you sleep
What line of work you are in.
What does a typical day of dieting is like.
Are your foods organic? Vegs? Fruit? Meat?

Try posting your daily diet again in this formatted exampl:
Sample of a typical day for me:
Breakfast
- 2 raw fertilized duck eggs (fatty)
- coconut juice and coconut meat (fatty)
- fruit in season (papaya / mango / durian / melon / guava / etc.)
Mid day snack for hydration
- coconut juice and coconut meat (fatty)
Lunch
- big raw animal meal of raw grass beef or raw blue marlin sashimi sometimes raw horse
with a good amount of raw yellow fat in beef and horse.
Up to 500 grams = 1/2 kilo = 1.1 lbs.
Mid day snack for hydration
- some hydrating fruit like watermelon or green oranges are in season these days
Dinner
- minor raw animal meal as above, less amount.
- if I feel like innards, raw beef liver, small raw whole fish, raw oysters or raw clams.

I feel so, so irritable. Is this tiredness an initiation thing? because i'm eating everything I ate on cooked paleo but raw and feeling awful
-
Hey there. I haven't crunched the numbers, but your diet seems heavy on protein and light on fat. Most of us get a significant amount of energy from fat, which you have to adapt to. Although it's an open question how much carb you need, I think most people would agree on that as protein is the hardest to break down.
e.g. if you only eat rabbits and salmon you can die of 'rabbit starvation' due to low energy.
I don't know why it's different for you now, but have you changed the general outline of what you eat since going raw?
Also, you can probably lose the broccoli, seeds and nuts as they don't really add anything to raw animal diet and might get in the way of digesting.

in 1.5 tins of coconut milk there is 90 grams of fat.

enough?

No, but then you include the linseeds which are 42 grams of fat to every 100 and the nuts which are 50 to every 100.

if i drink half a can of coconut milk (organic coconut, water, guar gum) i am knocked out drowsy with no energy.

And a bunch of toxic components coming from the heating at high temperature of the coconut milk. Drop it !
Same thing for smoked salmon!
RAWPALEO MAN, RAWPALEO! :)

Sequential eating. Do not food combine.
linseeds - drop it, seeds aren't paleo
tins of coconut ??? - sounds processed to me, not raw at all, processing pollution, press raw coconuts yourself if you are looking for coconut milk
cashew nuts - not raw, always has to be cooked to get rid of the toxic chemicals around it. Interferes with meat digestion.
Banana - is it organic?
Apple - is it organic?
Berries - what type of berries?
Steak - great, what cut? Grass fed? How much fat?
Raw broccoli? - yuck. Also bad to combine this veggy and steak - bad digestion. Drop the broccoli and just increase the steak size.
Smoked salmon? - not raw
Lamb shoulder - great. Probably should not combine with salmon. Just eat it alone.
Happy adjusting!
-
Yeah your food combination is rather poor.
-
Dude.... you need to eat more. Your entire days meal looks like one of my meals.... food for fuel man. Try calculating your calorie intake.
How much do you weigh?
Raw broccoli drains me..
-
I know someone on this forum mentioned somewhere, I think it was actionhero, said that if your first meal of the day is composed of suger/carbs, that your body will adjust to them and not be able to digest fats as easily during the rest of the day..
Maybe try eating some steak for breakfast instead of seed/nut/fruit? It should be able to help you a bit with the digestion of fats and therefore giving you better energy throughout the day with a mainly meat diet.
I've just started this raw-paleo diet as well, and although I'm usually pretty hungry throughout the day, I haven't really had a lack of energy, actually more of an increase of energy, at least when I wake up.. but, it probably hasn't quite been long enough yet for me to know any real results.
