Nice video. This looks like they are serving it up straight gored gored style. I have always been able to get raw kitfo at Ethiopian restaurants in the US: in Seattle, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and in Maryland. Actually, they usually are pleasantly surprised when I stress that I want it raw, not cooked. The best raw meat dish I ever had though was a raw beef salad at a Cambodian restaurant in Long Beach, CA. It was all thinly sliced beef, little chunks of lemon grass, cilantro, hot pepper, mint, and a few other herbs I didn't know the names of, and some fish sauce. It was a really big portion for the price.

So there are three primal dieters here (Fairfax, VA, Gaithersburg, MD, and Columbia, MD) and two others interested. I am guessing between Thanksgiving and Christmas we will have our first potluck. So, if anyone else is nearby,please  let us know...

Hey everyone-

I have been experimenting with the Primal Diet (AV style) on and off since 1998. Had a real good run in 2002 for a year (98%+) and another solid run from 2006-2009 (100%) and am just getting back on 100% again (for the last 3 months). I haven't been below 75% during that any of that time except the first year I joined the military in 2003 (not in the military anymore).

I can tell you when I am on the diet for more at least a month I start to notice big physical changes: better sleep, nicer skin and hair, fewer pimples if any -- unless detoxing, and I feel like acceptable in photos where otherwise I usually am critical of how I look (after about 6 months).

I know AV was against fasting and enemas. Curious if any of you have ever experimented with that and what your results were? AV says that it disturbed the bacteria in the colon and that the bacteria in the colon are responsible for feeding the nervous system (don't remember the details) and that people who do enemas get paranoid. I know AV shot from the hip a lot without evidence. I guess that 80% of the time he was dead on. But I am sure 20% of the time he could have just been making a conclusion based on his experience but not totally accurate.

Look forward to lots of interesting conversations.
