Title: Janice from The Netherlands
Post by: FlyingDutchwoman on September 25, 2012, 11:14:26 pm: Hello everyone,

I'd like to introduce myself:

I am Janice, a girl on the verge of becoming a woman. I live in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) with my mum who is a single parent. I just turned 18.

I am an utter dunce when it comes to the Raw Paleo Diet as I've been eating the conventional crap for years. My lifestyle so far has resulted in hypothyroidism. Having lost faith in the teachings of The Netherlands Nutrition Centre Foundation (of course state-funded), I intend to follow a diet more akin to our primitive ancestors' and see how that goes...

After reading numerous threads on this forum I am eager to give the Raw Paleo Diet a try. You guys are such an inspiration to me!

P.S. English is not my native tongue. I don't have a thorough mastery of it...YET l) So please excuse me if this post has any errors.

Read the 1st posts of each of these threads for more info on the rawpalaeodiet:-

I would suggest other options as well such as obtaining raw thyroid from grassfed or wild animals and eating tiny amounts of it(it's very concentrated). "High-meat" is another option(you'll find a link re "high-meat" in one of the threads in the above section).

Welcome! You should find the answers you are looking for here so long as you experiment, pay attention to your body's messages and are getting clean raw, properly raised food.

Your English is remarkable! I'd say you have excellent command of it, better than a lot of native speakers!

I want to visit Amsterdam so much. My perfect day in that city would start out with an espresso with some grassfed, raw guernsey cream, along with a Glass of grassfed raw guernsey cream and some fresh ripe berries. As well as a bowl of edelweiss (coincidentally from the breeder FlyingDutchMEN! lol!) and maybe some afghani crumbled on top in addition to some hash truffles ohlala! Then getting on a bicycle and riding through town the rest of the day, going on adventures and exploring the place! Some day!

Anyhow, you'll find lots of good advice here, but the bottom line is that you are your own best doctor and the one who cares about your health the most, so learn to recognize signals from your body in response to different raw foods, and we will do our best to support you!
