Primal Diet / Re: Having a hard time consuming enough meat - feeling full
« on: February 07, 2014, 03:35:17 am »
Hey I don't know if this is helpful to you, but sometimes apparently our blood is too acidic and therefore meats do not appeal to us as much. If you get you blood to a more alkaline state your body will likely crave more meat. In my experience this definitely happens. Just a thought.
Oh, and one of the best sources that I'm aware of that will do that are vegetable juices.

Wow, good to hear thanks!

I had the impression that I was not eating enough. Looking at nutritional data I am only getting around 1000-1200 callories If I eat mostly meat. It seems abit to little and I wanna build more muscle. That's why.

If I eat fruit I eat untill I feel sick, so I try to avoid it.

Will try to listen more to my body and see how it turnes out.

I'm sure we could look up some studies to see at what temp minerals begin to cauterize, but at the moment I cannot say. However, I do think pasteurization temps are very high relative to the temp out in nature. Therefore if anything I would be highly suspicious of what these temperatures would do to minerals such as calcium. Not to mention, as Van said, regarding the unknown implications of enzyme and bacteria destruction, and how they could serve a function in regards to calcium absorption as well. I know that enzymes and bacteria are known to work in helping us to utilize nutrients more effectively. Point being, I think raw milk is just too different from conventional milk to enable us to draw any kind of conclusive analysis.

I hear what your saying about the magnesium deficiency. I haven't personally heard about this being a problem specific to raw milk drinkers, however I have heard a lot of primal dieters eating raw pumpkin seeds for the magnesium. Anybody know what kind of symptoms a magnesium deficiency would cause? I'd like to be aware of what that would look like so I know to look out for it.

Well, I guess it's all relative.. At what point does conviction or commitment become "fanatical?" Yea, he cared for his health like no one I have ever seen before. But maybe it's the world that's fanatical with all of its chemicals and germ phobias. Maybe Aajonus was just a "normal" guy who wanted to live naturally and in harmony with nature, but had to behave in a "fanatical" way so he could live as naturally as possible in what is often such a toxically ladened world. He was the most committed guy I ever met to living as naturally as possible. I don't think anyone would say that he didn't completely walk his talk. I was upset when he died also. I definitely felt a loss. I think he was a great guy and worked very hard to help people while he was here.

Thanks Blake. I think that high meat is something that I do want to start. The question is for me what role do I want dairy to play in my diet. I still have many tubs of raw grassfed butter in the fridge. I gave up raw milk a year or so as I noticed a pain in my lower back (kidneys?) when I would drink it. Later I noticed a similar thing from eating the raw cheese. The area was irritated and actually had my back go out gardening. When not doing milk/cheese this doesn't happen.

This has been a big dilemma for me as raw butter is such an easy, very satisfying source of fat. I've worried if those same milk components are still in the butter that might be inflaming. I had switched to using tallow which is cooked :( ... also satisfying, but with its own problems being cooked. I may still do the the butter, as I am finding the marrow, suet does not have quite the calming effect. I do have to say though that the butter gives me a little of a belly, and some sinus congestion. Thanks though for the info and well wishes :)
Oh, anytime Celeste! I hope you heal up quickly.

Maybe if you ate the cheese with honey? As I was saying before- breaks it down, digests very differently. And maybe go for the cultured butter if you can.

Thanks Tyler! But really I prefer to go without the labels. I learned a lot from Aajonus, but nowadays I do what makes sense for me - I don't necessarily stick to one paradigm or another. I do feel that Aajonus was a good man though, and I do feel sad sometimes about his passing. He was a great guy.

I can only speak of my own experience drinking plenty of raw milk over the last 15 years. I was severely allergic (lactose intolerant) to pasteurized milk, and so I had stopped consuming milk and all dairy products. But when I had raw milk and other raw dairy it was a completely different kind of animal- digested beautifully. I'm not saying it's for everyone, but listening to this debate I do get the sense there's a little bit of a power struggle or something about whether raw milk is "good" or not. I say were all in this together trying to figure out what works and doesn't work- so I say lets all try to remain open minded and not attached to a particular belief about something. And I include myself on this as well.

But listen, if your going to say things about raw milk not being good, then it seems reasonable to me that you must cite studies on raw milk, not pasteurized. Do we really know the full implications of what pasteurization, homogenization, standardization, antibiotics, hormones, conventional feed, blah blah blah does in regards to the health integrity of milk? I would venture to guess that we do not. I have heard for instance that calcium and other minerals are cauterized when exposed to high temperatures - this could be what's going on with the absorption or utilization problem with the calcium. I am not aware of this idea of needing a balance between magnesium or calcium - maybe theres something to that, i don't know. But what I can say is that I think raw milk and other raw dairy has been instrumental in my healing process. Actually, after I experienced how well raw milk digested I began to consider that maybe raw meat would digest well also. Just my 2 cents :)

Hi everybody, I am new to this forum and just wanted to introduce myself. Actually I would be new to any forum-never participated in one before, so it's kind a cool :) So basically have been eating raw for about 15 years or so. I met James Stewart from "Rawsome" - not sure if anyone's familiar with it - it was a little food co-op in Venice, CA where a lot of Raw meat eaters would go to get good fresh organic food, and unfortunately was busted by the food police not too long ago. 

Anyway, James introduced me to AV and I've been eating primarily raw ever since. I was diagnosed with ALS when I was 16 or 17, and after trying everything I could and not finding any success, I discovered the power of eating raw, and it has literally been the biggest godsend in my life. It was a true turning point for me, and my health just continues to get better and better as I become older (huh, kind of counterintuitive hah) Seems to me that bettering our health consists of a never ending journey of learning. Good to find a community of like minded people aspiring to do that. Looking forward to discussing, exploring, and continuing to learn from others experiences. Thanks!

Hi Ashley, just wanted to make a couple comments that could help. I eat raw primarily, but sometimes if I eat cooked food it just simply helps to have as little of it as I can. Seems like the smaller the portion the easier it is on my body to take care of. Also, it helps to eat Raw vegetables or salad after eating cooked meat. It's my understanding that cooked meat has a tendency to take longer to digest and can get stuck while it sits there putrefying in the intestines. Therefore, you can push it through with some veggies after you eat it. In my experience I find that I feel better the next day if I do this. Hope that helps!

Hey Celeste, I just joined this forum and read your post about your bicycle accident. So sorry to hear about that, ouch! I wanted to mention what Aajonus would say was the best mineral supplement: and that's unsalted raw cheese. But he would say what was critical was that you chew it up with honey at the same time. So you eat the cheese and honey simultaneously so the enzymes in the honey break it down. Otherwise apparently just eating the cheese will only act as an "absorber," primarily of toxins in the stomach. Hope that helps!

And if it were me I'd also do the "high meats" as well as someone posted previously. I bet it would speed up your recovery a great deal. You'll digest better (utilize nutrients better), and it will help detox your body of the toxic meds you had to take.  With your minerals, bacteria, and fats you should detox smoothly and effectively. No worries Celeste - hope you feel better soon :)
