Hey GS what do you classify as a hydrating fruit? just water content?

I developed mild scurvy (I assume it was scurvy) while on cooked zero carb a couple of years ago. The teeth themselves are ok, but I have receded gum lines now. What foods are recommended to heal this? raw ZC or raw Low Carb is the question. I think raw omnivorous diet makes my teeth/gums better but zero carb makes my skin and hair better and less oily. I think the problems with my teeth on zero carb is from a lack of fresh organ meats. I think the best diet for me is a carnivore diet where the majority of meat comes from organs not muscle meat. Grass fed organ meats are incredibly hard to come get a hold of though.

I also have alot of yellow hard tartar on the base of the teeth around the gums from when I ate cooked foods (it stopped building up since eating raw, but what was there is stuck like cement). Is it possible to get rid of this without a (costly) trip to the dentist? I'd think it's worsening my tooth/gum health despite my better diet.

Not much fat comes from quality animal meats on a SAD. So much is hydrogenated vegetable oil which is nutritionally worthless.

There are two reasons why raw vegan can stop mensuration
 1) because of a lack of nutrients found in meat needed to produce hormones
 2) It's common for raw vegans to lose a lot of weight, and menstruation stops in people who practice omnivorous calorie restriction as well.

Definitely I believe raw vegans are lacking a lot of good stuff, but their diet eliminates a lot of bad things i.e. the processed and unnatural foods of SAD.

That's fabulous GS

Never had a problem. Though I prefer the taste of beef.

meat doesn't make the body acidic. Acidic or Alkaline foods don't effect the acidity of the body. Weak digestion makes the body acidic. Proper digestion requires strong stomach acid (strong stomach acid being needed to stop the acidity of the blood is probably the reason for the confusion), which a carb free diet allows. Stomach acid precedes the release of alkaline digestive juices. Without the stomach acid the digestion process can't occur properly and the body becomes acidic, bloated etc.

It's explained in more detail here, about 3/4 of the way through

I think spices are bad for you. Sweating, runny nose and flushing is pretty standard. Sign of an allergic reaction. Would never eat them again.

I upped my protein intake just like the raw meat using body builders.
Striving to get at least 125 grams of protein a day to match my 125 lbs.
1 kg a day.  Can't eat more than that.
On my 2nd day now with me in touch with my coach.

instead of eating 1g of protein per lb of body weight, eat  1 - 1.5 grams for every pound of lean body mass. The bodybuilder you are talking to is probably very muscular which is why they said that. If you are fat with little muscle you are getting too much protein.

This thread is ludicrous. Gaining 10lbs of muscle in less than a week is impossible, and you most certainly will gain fat on zero carb if you gorge and don't exercise. Check what forum you are in - most of us are not only familiar with but have actually been on or are on this diet. I'm glad you're seeing positives from it though, but don't exaggerate so much.

Never had a problem with it. I only eat ground beef never whole cuts because ground beef is cheaper. The beef is frozen.

Without carbs you enter ketosis, so yes.

they might not eat raw and eat organs and meats cooked, but most people don't eat that at all. And their meats and vegetables are cooked in a stew with water which is better than frying in some hydrogenated oil like westerners. Basically their diet is not absolutely perfect but it's decently healthy.

That's a lie. A marketing gimmick to sell diet books to sloths who want to lose weight but can not stop gorging themselves. Fats are the most effectively stored form of energy.

People lose weight on low carb diets because removing sugars removes hunger. People eat less without realizing because of reduced hunger and think they lost weight on the same amount of calories.
