Primal Diet / Re: Just recieved raw butter...could it be spoiled?
« on: March 25, 2009, 08:31:05 am »
I called the person I got it from. She is a Dr. and the person that introduced me to all this, She laughed and said that she should have warned me, The butter can smell a little "gamey". She said it depends on what the grass is like that the cows have been eating. Well, after I set a small tub on the counter over night I noticed it smells a little like cream cheese this morning, but not offensive. I tasted it, and it tasted better than yesterday.
My daughter came to pick hers up and had no problem with it at all.
I don't know if it's cultured. Perhaps that has something to do with the lack blandness I was expecting.
Maybe the Dr. doesn't know. She told me it will last a few weeks.
I'm still cautious but willing to experiment with it.

I have been away and just saw your post Tyler. Call it coincidence, while I was away I found it easier to go zero carbs. So far no cravings. But I know the first few days of anything will not necessarily show problems and I will look out for problems. So far I do feel better. Thanks.

Primal Diet / Just recieved raw butter...could it be spoiled?
« on: March 24, 2009, 04:11:27 am »
I joined a buying club and just picked up my first order. Everything seems as I would expect it...except the butter. It smells sourish/cheesey. I am wondering if this is how it is normally. I bought a few tubs..they are all the same. I can live without it if this is normal and just stick with olive oil.

What a surprise!  I was just starting to shut everything down when I decided to check once more. We were going to go to have (raw) fish at Mandalay Bay so the directions are on the same route. Thanks for the info and on how to approach eating out in L.V.

I just read about the pemmican. This sounds like it would have been perfect...I could leave a suitcase at home! I might try and see if there is jerky available at the local health food store tomorrow morning. I don't have raw butter, but I have coconut oil. Thanks for mentioning it.

I will be there for 3 night and 3 days.

There is no time to find stores. Everything happens on the strip where there are no stores. So that's why I want to bring as much as possible. If possible I will try to get to the Whole Foods.

Since I won't have raw butter for another week, maybe taking coconut oil in it's place will help. I decided to bring another suitcase/duffle bag with supplies including a personal blender.

These are long days. They don't even want people to bring in food or water. They want to sell from their own concession stands. So my big bag with jars full of things is what I'll be bringing during the day. Won't be the first time, but it will be the first time eating this way.

Primal Diet / What to bring while traveling

Tomorrow I will be going to a trade show in Las Vegas. Although I have heard there is a Whole Foods store somewhere there, in the past years I haven't been able to to get to a store. I have generally brought food.
At this point I am thinking of lots of avacados, eggs, honey, maybe some milk and pumpkin and sun flower seeds, lemon and limes and some sparkling spring water and apple cider vinegar. I am thinking along the lines that there will be no meat available. In the past we have gone to buffets that offer sushi bars and so I am hoping that the same will happen this year. It's hard to find out ahead of time if one is being offered at a particular buffet. I am wondering if anyone has any other ideas.

That is good to know. In the past I have had energy surges from not so healthy foods like sugar etc.
I started with making enough juice for a day. but after reading the possibility of eating only meat, I am making juice every few days.
 Is meat and the fat from meat your primary diet?

I wasn't clear about the milk either. It just seemed that the fatigue and cravings started the day after I didn't have any more raw milk. But this afternoon I think I got at least a partial answer.
 I went to sign up for some raw goats milk and they happened to have some raw cows milk for sale so I bought some. I had some this afternoon and feel much better tonight.
The other thing is that I forget that cleansing takes on different forms. It isn't always a flu or a cold. I never felt like I woke up today. After a brief rest where I may have dozed off for 10 minutes, and the milk I felt really good.
Milk has not been a part of my life since pre teen years. And I read how some can drink it and some can't. I also read how things change and milk is no longer needed or wanted. It kind of makes sense to not need dairy after a while because in days long ago, who had a lactating animal by their sides every day?
So I think that there is a place for it right now. There's something healing about it. So for now I am a milk drinker. It sure made a difference today....Still needed a piece of bread with butter tonight though. I think I might need more raw fat. It takes almost 2 weeks to get an order of raw cream raw butter and raw cheese without salt. In the mean time I have avacados and eggs.

I looked up Dr. Ron and book marked his sight. All these products seem good. It's quite an education just reading the descriptions. I will keep these products in mind. I just started taking Isocort again. It really helped. As I said I stopped everything the last week of February. But the past few days I am feeling like I am winding down. I am thinking this might be where the cravings started coming from.
It was helpful and sad to read here that this diet didn't help adrenal fatigue. From A.V.'s book anything is possible and I hoped that this issue would be met quickly. Anyway, I started taking the isocort again this morning. My naturopath said it could take a year to not need it. She mentioned it is like a bully. It takes over and gives the adrenals a rest. Maybe this is something to write about in the 'health' subject. I have also been out of my first gallon of raw milk since around the time my energy started to fail and the cravings started up.

Thanks for all your input. I would never have thought of these things on my own.

I tried the eggs last night and they worked very well. I felt peace in my body for the first time during the waking hours before sleep (from 7:00PM on). I've wondered if I just wasn't getting enough nutrients during the day because I am just not that hungry during the day, so maybe my body is catching up with itself at night. In the past I was a night owl, doing artwork at night when there are not so many worldly demands, so maybe this night time hunger is from the days when that other part of me woke up. 

With the adrenal issues I have to be careful not to overdo. I was taking something for the adrenal's but stopped when I started paleo diet. I stopped all medications and supplements now since around 2/22 with no ill effects. The eggs have made a huge difference in my mental well being.

I appreciate and have printed out everything recommended by you all. I'm going to start a notebook so that these things can stay within my mental reach.

Primal Diet / Cravings

Hello All,
  This is my first post here. I have been eating 100% raw since Feb 21. I've read both of Aajonus' books.
I am following  the meal plan in the Recipe for Living Without Disease, eating every every one to two hours.
  In the past (pre-raw) I was plagued with night time cravings, foraging in fridge and cabinets but never finding anything that hit the spot.
  The past two nights I found the myself feeling the same need to forage. It starts soon after my last meat meal between 6:00 and 7:00.
   In his book, A.V. mentions having a piece of french bread about a half hour before a daily slump occurs. I have adrenal fatigue and this really worked for the afternoon fatigue. This happened only for a few days in the beginning and before I started eating red meat.
   Now, the old night time elusive need is popping up. Last night I tried a piece of bread and butter and I instantly felt satisfied which lasted until I went to sleep. It got me thinking maybe a green juice might do the same. I would prefer that. I have no need for bread at other times. I am wondering if anyone has any input on this night time crave. Before the bread I had tried slices of raw cheese with butter and honey, with only honey, with only butter, some dates with butter but nothing helped until the bread. I later wondered if a glass of green juice might have been the missing link, but it was too late to see.

Thanks,

Jeanneji
