I have reversed my way of eating fat.  I used to follow Bear's recommendations and ate my fat first, then the leaner portions of meat.  This significantly helped with my digestion.  Then I thought about reversing the order.  I now eat the meat first, then the fat.  Both methods give good clear stops as to how much I may need at any sitting.  However, I really believe that eating meat first offers the best chance at having enough HCL to handle the meat.  I also believe this is the way 'we' did it back when.  First ate the flesh near the surface, and after, dug deep for the fat, marrow, brain....
    Also I have found a very wonderful way of eating tough back fat.  I slice into cubes, then put it into a food processor until just small pieces remain, not completely liquified, or turned into a paste.  Then I put it into a wide based bowl and the bowl then gets floated in 115 F water.  I do this while I eat my meat.  Then, some minutes later,  a lot of the liquid has separated from the chunky 'mush' and the rest is most palatable to either eat as is, or further separate  the liquid portion from the solids with my mouth, and if desired, can spit out the fiberous remains.   The liquid is like higher temp rendered fat,  a beautiful golden yellow that is simply delicious.    Enjoy

Be happy to Michael.  Go on line and look for ferrier files, the ones they use to file down horse hoofs.  Get the best you can find, with a good handle.  You want to get ahold of rib bones.  Ask for them as long as they can provide them; like a foot long.   Take a sharp knife and scrape away any of the remaining meat etc. leaving a clean bone.  Store in fridge or freezer.  Eventually the reddish cartalidge middle will start to smell a little fishy if left for longer than a couple of months in the fridge, hence using the freezer to store long term.    Now to file,  hold straight down into large wooden cutting board and you'll stroke up with the bone against the file.  The material will 'clog' the ribbed file surface, ( the other side of the file is usually sharp bumps, the ribbed section works best) so get a wire brush used for getting rid of rust and run across the file in the direction of the ribs.  Do this right over the cutting board.  Then get a good 3 inch wide paint scraper and gather up the bone dust and scoop into a spoon and eat.  Sorry about the non metric references.  I eat it when I start to get hungry  before my first meal.  It then fills/takes off the hunger edge for me temporarily and then in maybe a half an hour, I get hungry again, and that is when I eat my meat then fat.  I think we need all the acid in our stomachs to digest it, and believe that even though bone has a lot of protein itself, the concentration of mineral leaves your stomach more alkaline in the end, hence not mixing it with meat, so that I don't alkalize the stomach with the bone.  Obviously experiment on your own.  I eat about one or two ribs per week, and feel good about knowing that I am getting all the elements my body needs to build bones.  Bones have such an array of nutrients that go to make them up,  it seems silly to miss out on that offering.   Yes the blood has all essential elements and it does pass through meat/muscle/tissue, but like organs, each part of the body pulls from the blood what it needs.     Feel free if you want further clarification on any of this.   Also I keep the file in the fridge so when I file the bone, it and the grinder are cold and that helps to prevent any heat build up.    I do this a couple of times a day, and like to eat about four tablespoons a day.   Van

Don't know when and how much carrot and celery you're ingesting, but it can be most alkalizing to the stomach which for someone new to this way of eating, will need all the acid the stomach can produce to digest your meat.  I would give it up for a while, or drink no more than 4 or 5 ounces and make sure it's not after eating or at least an hour before having meat.  Carrot juice is loaded with sugar.  Celery you can chew and spit out the pulp quite easily and hence stop when your body has told you that it doesn't want any more celery.  Otherwise you can be drinking something your body doesn't want or need and not know it because the sweetness of the carrot juice is masking any signs of a "stop".    Aujonus has some pretty out of the ordinary regimins that not many here follow let alone think make much sense.  So in the long run you'll have to follow your own gut should you take on his advice.  But if you do,  I would know exactly what it is he wants you to do to the tee.  Otherwise you'll be trying this and that all day long trying to second guess what intuition he may have for you.  It is so easy to think our way from meal to meal with a little bit of 'knowledge'.  And consequently,   get very lost in the sea of possibilities.    But one thing,  only eat when hungry, and drink when thirsty.  Don't let your head lead the way.

HI,  I was using the word fasting only to say that Durian was all I really wanted.    I thought you were a raw low carb eater?  What I was indicating is that now that I have been zc for a couple of years I wonder how I (my body) would do with a food (durian) that creates such a high insulin response (from the high amounts or sugars/carb).  It's also an almost unique fruit in that it's fat and sugar content are both high.  Some write that that is good, in that the fat slows down the sugars entering the blood, others write that the fat fruit diet is one of the worst combinations.    But from what you wrote, it appears you are not interested in insulin responses from foods you eat?    I don't believe I am addicted to meat,  although, now, there isn't much that does my body as good, ( and of course it's complimentary fat).   But that's me, at this time in my life.    Hopes this helps clarify things. 

Iguana,  I too have fasted on Durians.  Most addicting.  But after going zero carb now for a couple of years,  I wonder how I would fare with eating a food with such an insulin demand?  What are your thoughts? if any. 

 I wish I could tell you.  Have looked on the net to no avail.  But I do know that there is plenty of calcium, and the red portion in the rib bone is full of cartalidge.  I have also read that the Magnesium stores are deeper in the bone.   Bone is also protein.   The part I like about bone is that the trace minerals we need to make or keep healthy bones, like boron, etc, is in bone.  If anyone ever finds a good nutritional breakdown of various bones, I would love to see it.

an increase of fat can help.  Most of a stool from a carb eater is bacteria

  I am not so sure about kicking out parasites with a 'natural diet'.  Animals in the wild have them all the time; like deer etc..   Although it may be their immunity to them lessened as in during the lean months of the year contributes to the cycle. 

  I certainly have heard the good and the bad about him; with the good outweighing the bad.    But the egg thing?  He has to know that hardly anyone is going to be able to find eggs that aren't a direct product of chickens eating gobs of corn and soy to maintain profitable production/egg laying rates.  Don't get it.  And then there's the forcing something down your throat when presumably the body is screaming   'I don't want anymore'.  But then maybe he really does know something.  I have heard this egg prescription over and over.  ?

another factor which apparently has great effects is the type of fat and protein used.  Often in these studies highly oxidized fats will be used as well as protein isolates.  Had the mice been fed live or recently killed naturally grown insects, which are naturally low in carbs,  I would give value to the study. 

  if the water is hard,  the minerals will bind with the baking soda, and your hair won't be as soft or shiny.   Years ago, I used to follow up with sticking my head under the RO water spicket in the kitchen sink and massage gently for a minute or two.  Amazingly soft and shiny.  Vinegar or lemon juice will do a similar thing.

Ionna what could be unhealthy about hot showers?  Ok,  maybe if you alternated hot and cold you'd get more circulation going, but at the expense of enduring cold water.  Just offering my support, hot showers, yum, enjoy.
