Meanwhile, I don’t doubt any longer that a diet without mammal meat is the healthier choice.

However, I also think it is important not to eat too much polyunsaturated fatty acids as found in many native (as opposed to tropical) plant sources of fat.

Thank you, interesting.

Well, finally Tyler, GCB, Instincto und the „raw paleo diet“ diet in general have to accept that we are NOT adapted to an unprocessed raw diet any longer (and so Wrangham is partially right  :o).

Today--persimmons, dates, bananas, tuna, swordfish, cashews, almonds, honey, kombucha. Also some bone meal. I LOVE persimmon season. I would have gotten some figs, but too many of the ones in each little plastic box were hard/unripe.

So you seem to eat a lot of carbs? I don't eat dates any longer, haven't eaten them for a long time and never liked honey (unmixed). I have eaten little sugar (via fruit) for some months - don't know why, but it's definitely better for my health.

...melons, tomatoes...watermelons...papayas...persimmons...avocados...bananas...a broad variety of vegetables; olives, various kinds of nuts; fish, shellfish and crabs

Yum! These foods I eat (and love) too.

I have eaten a lot of raw vegetables for many years. However, I visit the forum primarily to read Paleophil’s interesting posts, laugh about Tyler Durdens posts and such.  :)
I eat Jicama raw and like them too. Never noticed strange, tickly or twinge-like sensations, although I only really discovered them recently.

I love my profession, but here in Germany work is usually stressful, just as described by Ioanna, even in my profession. I was lucky because I got a job which isn’t stressful most of the time. My boss knew from the beginning that I don’t handle long-term stress very well.

Sir, I just tried to eat from the plant world the last week and paid the price greatly. It is like their toxins spread into my blood and my body sags. My stomach feels so twisted, my thoughts turned very depressed, I feel like I lost all my progress.

To find the „right“ raw plants to eat you should make use of the alliesthetic signals which were described bei G. C. Burger. Do you know his theories?

Hi Phil,

- vegetables, including greens, seaweed, lentils, carrot juice etc., on a nearly daily basis,
- nuts, which are a staple food of mine, including coconuts and seeds (such as shelled hempseed),
- fruit at least several times a week, although I don’t eat much (sugar from) sweet fruit and don’t eat any acidic fruit,
- almost no honey,
- animal food at least several times a week, although mostly in small portions,
- high quality fats, which is much more important to me than spending my money on sweet expensive tropical fruits,
- no mixing of different foods,
- exclusively raw food since 2004.

Well, to be honest, I have reduced (and currently cancelled) my mammal meat consumption again for several reasons.

In September 2014 I wrote:

I will certainly eat meat again in the future, but for now, I haven’t been motivated to do so. (…) The main reason (why I stopped to eat meat) in short: a return of allergic symptoms which stopped after I had stopped to eat meat.

Another feedback from me: I (still) don’t eat mammal meat anymore and I’m pleased with the results so far. For example, I haven't noticed pollen allergy symptoms anymore. I do eat shellfish and fish regularly, sometimes bone marrow, but virtually no mammal meat, liver or the like anymore.

How ironic that it may turn out that the Inuit are one of the least truly ketogenic populations on earth.
Indeed!
Especially since ...

The world looks to the Inuit and Eskimo as the poster-children of a high fat, high protein diet.  (…) Nearly any medical or scientific paper that discusses a ketogenic diet also discusses the Inuit as a group of people who remained healthy while in constant ketosis. (...)

Same source:

... the blubber, organs, muscle and skin of the marine mammals that the Inuit ate have significant glycogen stores which assist those animals when oxygen is depleted on prolonged dives.[16][17][18] For instance, when blubber is analyzed by direct carbohydrate measurements, it has been shown to contain as much as 8—30% carbohydrates.[17] While postmortem glycogen levels are often depleted through the onset of rigor mortis, marine mammals have a much delayed onset of rigor mortis, even in warm conditions, presumably due to the high content of oxymyoglobin in the muscle that may permit aerobic metabolism to continue slowly for some time after the death of the animal.[17][19] Additionally, in cold conditions, glycogen's depletion is halted at -18 °C (-0.4 °F) and lower temperatures in comminuted meat.[20][21]

I post this in the instincto section as it supports a diet including substantial amounts of carbs. 

Citation from Wikipedia:
Quote
Inuit studied in the 1970s were found to have abnormally large livers, presumably to assist in this process. Their urine volumes were also high, a result of the excess urea produced by gluconeogenesis.[9] However, in multiple studies the traditional Inuit diet has not been shown to be a ketogenic diet.[10][11][12][13] Not only have multiple researchers been unable to detect any evidence of ketosis resulting from the traditional Inuit Diet, but the ratios of fatty-acid to glucose were observed to be well below the generally accepted level of ketogenesis.[10][11][12][13]
Inuit actually consume more carbohydrates than most nutritionists have assumed.[14]  (…) Traditional Inuit diets derive approximately 50% of their calories from fat, 30-35% from protein and 15-20% of their calories from carbohydrates, largely in the form of glycogen from the raw meat they consumed.[22] (…) It has been suggested that because the fats of the Inuit's wild-caught game are largely monounsaturated and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, the diet does not pose the same health risks as a typical Western high-fat diet.[23] However, evidence has shown that Inuit have a similar prevalence of coronary artery disease as non-Inuit populations and they have excessive mortality due to cerebrovascular strokes.[24][25]

Without having read every post:

the whole arguement of humans being "non-adapted" to cold climates on the notion of "having to wear clothes" can be flipped on you considering the various human populations that need to wear clothes to cover and protect there light skin (which was previously as adaptation to less intense sunlight of course, and hence either a different region or a different climate in the past) from the scorching rays of the sun
In any case, you need much less cloth (or animal hides) to protect yourself even from the tropic sun than you need to protect yourself from arctic cold. Moreover, if there are forests, you are protected from the sun in a perfectly natural way, without having to resort to technology (however defined). A simpel shelter will protect you from the sun, but not sufficiently from the cold. So to me it seems clear to which environment we are better adapted so far, even if we have a fair skin.

Ok. I'll try again to get a better-tasting raw bone broth.
Joy, did you try to prepare a raw bone broth again?
Here are pictures of my white cabbage fermentation: http://frohkost.blogspot.de/2013/10/wie-bereitest-du-die-lebensmittel-zu.html

I successfully fermented white cabbage without salt. I use a trimmed cabbage leaf which fits exactly into the jar to keep the vegetable submerged.
I also prepared a raw bone broth. However, the raw bone broth tastes precisely like sauerkraut brine. Is there any trick to make it taste like bone broth?

Concerning meat and bee brood, I’m a bit concerned now because of
(1) lead fragments in wild game meat (see http://www.nps.gov/pinn/naturescience/leadinfo.htm and  http://www.ct.gov/deep/cwp/view.asp?a=2700&q=452732&depNav_GID=1633)
(2) pesticide pollution of bee brood (which is fed with pollen).

Thank you for the overview, Phil. When I ate meat regularly, I didn’t eat (much) less carbs than before and never VLC. Maybe I ate a bit less prebiotics. However, I guess something else was the problem.

I just ate „sauerkraut“ made from grated kohlrabi fermented without added salt. I just added a little bit water to grated kohlrabi and stored it in a cold place for some days. The kohlrabi didn’t spoil and its taste was fine.

Next, I`ll try to prepare a raw bone broth.

too bad it's in German, anyone care to give a general idea in english what's said.

Not much, because I know nothing for sure.

I don't know what you mean by stone. 
I didn't eat the meat stored in the fridge for months (because I didn't eat any meat), therefore the meat became hard like stone.

I always ate very little meat compared to what others (e. g. instinctos) eat. I have never been a "big eater".

Updates concerning myself: 
Well, to be honest, I have reduced (and currently cancelled) my mammal meat consumption again for several reasons.
The mammal meat stored in a fridge in the basement has meanwhile turned into stone. I will certainly eat meat again in the future, but for now, I haven’t been motivated to do so. The reasons why I stopped to eat meat are described here (in German only): http://frohkost.blogspot.de/2013/10/sind-probleme-im-zusammenhang-mit.html
The main reason in short: a return of allergic symptoms which stopped after I had stopped to eat meat.
