Hot Topics / Re: Ray Peat podcast...interesting!

I think it would be difficult to tell if something is giving problems when eating such a large variety of food. If you're looking to test if orange juice/fruit is causing problems, you probably would have to consume a notable amount of it. Starch could cause mucus, but sugar causing mucus doesn't make much sense. Perhaps orange juice specifically is giving you an issue, but sugar or fruit in general is not something that should be causing mucus.  It could be a reaction with a different food - meat and solid fruits tend to work better than juices and meat. Have you considered trying to follow a Ray Peat type of diet to experiment? That is, if you have any issues at the moment, everything could be going perfectly for you, I don't know :)

Phil, what's a rough breakdown of your daily diet?

Although no one is perfect, I think Ray Peat's suggestions are gold. Essentially he suggests we eat high sugar and high protein, meaning a lot of fruit and a lot of animal products (i.e. paleo foods). I do better on this than I do on a zero carb diet that the Inuit eat. I've never been able to duplicate the Inuit results even when apparently eating the same type of diet. I actually started a Ray Peat diet before I had ever heard of Ray Peat - what I did was just replace all my additional fat with fruit, which is still paleo. Peat's data and research seems to check out with my own experience on very low carb diets so I tend to feel it is legitimate.

Well fruit is certainly digestible by humans and we can extract nutrition from it easily, although even confirmed carnivores such as lions can.

Hot Topics / The Masai didn't have atherosclerosis on traditional diet

http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com/Did-Masai-Have-Atherosclerosis.html

Summary: The smaller sample of Masai in an isolated region shows no atherosclerosis. Broader study with large sample size (covering larger geographical area) did, however many of the Masai in that often cited study had flour and sugar in their diet.

General Discussion / Re: Raw Liver - Increased Bruising?
« on: August 22, 2010, 04:07:50 pm »
try eating less liver. Maybe you only need one to two ounces, too much vitamin A thins skin and makes it fragile. It's a very common side effect of synthetic vitamin A.

« on: August 11, 2010, 02:33:40 pm »
Typical fruits - oranges, bananas, kiwifruits, melons. Mainly bananas though because it's hard to eat enough other fruits to get calories. For root vegetables potato, sweet potato, taro.

if you are only eating a small ammount of carbs, fruit is obviously the superior choice due to it's nutrient density...but if you are going to eat 40%+ of calories from carbs which would you favour? No frying or roasting, just boiled in water.

in the meantime you should try to replace rice with raw fruits and green vegetables.

rawlion what's your reaction to pasteurized butter? I've never tried raw butter, but react terribly bad to pasteurized butter. Gives me immediate diarrhea and nausea. Tallow on the other hand I don't get such a reaction. So cooked suet is easier to digest for me than cooked butter, but I have never been able to compare raw suet to raw butter, so can only assume from their cooked counterparts. I do however do terrible with raw coconut oil which I believe is more similar to butter than suet.

I have never consumed raw liver before. I have yet to find it.

My diet? Carbs. It's been quite awhile since I got any fats into my diet. I'm searching around for sources because currently, I can only get like say, out of 300g of a brisket, i can only get like 50 - 75g of fat. They would not sell additional fat. I told them i wanted additional fat, they just gave me a larger cut which is pretty much the same.

Surprising, since (grainfed) liver is found in nearly every supermarket in Australia (though grainfed is fine if that's all that one can get). I questioned a farmer about the lack of grass fed organs available in Australia and they replied that there is big demand in Asian countries for Australian livestock organs - apparently Singapore is not one of those countries. Without liver I'm not sure what to recommend. What is your carb source? Fruit or rice?

do you know which nutrient is deficient?

Specifically? No.

I am not familiar with things such as oil pulling but I don't think you need anything fancy. The problem is simple, the gums are deteriorating from nutrient deficiency. Diets too high in muscle meat and low in organ meats usually cause this. More organ meats - particularly liver. Perhaps green vegetables too.

Err, the notion that people who lug heavy objects around like fridges must by definition be weightlifters is incredibly dodgy. Strange though it may seem, people can develop great strength without needing to do artificial weightlifting of metal dumbbells. You have to bear in mind that for millenia beforehand, people were exposed to regular stresses such as pulling ploughs through hardened soil most days etc.

And when I refer to functional strength, I mean just that, not strength in a very vague, general sense. Sure, there are plenty of muscle-bound weightlifters who seem strong at first glance re weights but that's different from more useful activities.Ross Enamait also mentioned how weightlifters often neglected certain muscle-areas for various reasons, not just vanity. And RawKyle mentioned another reason why bodyweight trainining is better:- weightlifting is such an artificial process that injuries are more likely to occur as a result re too much stress on the wrong muscle-groups etc.

this is just ignorance towards proper weight training. Exercises such as deadlifts, squats, row variations would absolutely 100% increase people's ability to pull a plough or carry an animal or wood or other 'natural' activities. All athletes do weight and strength training. Proper weight training creates functional strength there is no two ways about it.

Another EXTREMELY IMPORTANT point that people have not mentioned relating to 'getting too big' is diet. You simply won't get any bigger if you don't eat more. If you don't want to to get 'too big' don't eat excess calories. You don't grow no matter how you train.

Not sure i fully understand the question, but...

If I had to choose between 100% cooked paleo and 100% raw vegan, I'd choose raw vegan.

then you would vote 0% in the poll

I will try to rephrase the question: What is the minimum percentage of a raw paleo/food diet that must be animal products for it to be healthier than a cooked paleo diet which includes animal and plant foods in whatever ratio you feel is best?

I'm not sure about the first question. Perhaps RV is better in the short term, but may eventually will become nutrient deficient and while a cooked animal and plant food diet may not produce the best health it will at least keep you going sub-optimally indefinitely. Regarding the poll I would take the 10% animal food 90% plant food which is similar to instinco and wai type diets. I would make sure the the 10% of the diet from animal foods were the most nutrient dense foods like liver and other organs.

Interesting that people don't seem to like bananas. Really ripe brown spotted bananas are the best fruit for me. Other fruits with a creamy/fluffy type texture such as durian are also good. Very sweet sugary tasting fruits make me feel sick and fruits where the skin is eaten make me terribly bloated.

Why would it do that Invisible? I'm not disagreeing, just asking =)

Because vitamin A lowers sebum production proportionally to the amount taken.

should give CLO another go, or anything else.

Although this sounds like it makes no sense, Cod Liver Oil didn't seem to be as effective as liver from mammals yet I took so much Cod liver oil I had bad vitamin A toxicity.

Does the cod liver oil make your hair/skin less oily? If you are taking enough it will.

I posted this in another thread

"Sounds like sebum related inflammation in your hair follicles. In my opinion (and from my experience) you need more liver for the vitamin A to control this. Try eating an adequate amount of grass fed liver, or taking Dr Ron's raw dried liver supplements everyday."

I suffered from the flaky scalp since I was 17 and I still do regardless of the rest of my diet if I don't get a lot of vitamin A. Raw Kyle is the flaky stuff on your scalp yellow? If it is it's dried oil not dandruff. If there is any pain on the scalp it's not dryness it's inflammation.

his purpose it to try to annoy non-vegans/entertain vegans...he is not a source of information. If you don't like it don't watch. Don't give attention to irrelevant things. He recently trolled this forum and got little response, so resorted to making that video about "raw paleo experience".

Most cut with a targeted ketogenic diet. Eating carbs directly before and after their training and no carbs in their other meals.
