This is my day 2 on all raw and so far so good, thanks to this forum. Yesterday was raw egg yolks, raw oysters and wild salmon, oranges and avocado. Today was more egg yolks and un trimmed grass fed sirloin. So far so good. Oysters are a given, I will eat them all season long. I really loved the raw salmon and the raw sirloin. The sirloin is not tough (as it would be if I cooked it.) and has a wonderful taste/texture. (I am quite afraid of raw chicken, thanks to society, so I can't even think about it yet, oh and pork, even though I have my own pasture raised piggy in the deep freeze.)
We started the non raw paleo diet last January b/c of my daughter's health issues. Before that it was Weston A. Price. I was raised ovolacto vegetarian, going vegan for a while...which I hated. I was shocked that my daughter's plumnologist and clinical dietitian strongly recommended the paleo diet. Doctors?? I was all for it as soon as I understood what the premis was about. Stumbled on raw paleo just a few days ago and the rest is history.
I live on a farm, so fitness is in the form of farm work, daily long walks and weekend long hikes in the Olympic foothills. Example, yesterday I carried four 80 pound bags of horse food from the car into the barn (up 4 steps). I walked the perimeter of the electric fence...we live on a huge hill. Fed and cleaned up after 4 horses, 3 sheep, 2 St. Bernards, the ducks and chickens. I cleaned out one of the duck ponds using a bucket and a hose. The buckets of dirty water went to my veggie garden about 20 feet away. Whew! Then I caught my horse and got him ready to ride. I ride him bareback a lot, it makes for a great core and leg workout. IMO...at least that is how I see it.
I occasionally have to wrestle sheep and chase someone who got loose. Almost everyday after everyone is settled down, I take a 4 mile walk (hilly) to the lake and back.
I look forward to learning more and I have a ton of questions as you can imagine. I''m trying to read as much as I can before I ask too many "already been answered a million times" questions.

ewww! However, I prefer my red meat almost rare and I can woof down raw oysters, steak tartare and sashimi like nobody's business...so I don't know why I had that reaction. I even put my own chicken's and duck's raw (pastured) egg yolks in my smoothies. After a whole day of thinking about it, it doesn't seem half bad and it makes perfect sense.
