As regards plants, I have had enough personal experience that makes it clear that raw plants, especially fruits, are essential for optimum huma health, albeit in small quantities. No plant-food whatsoever in the diet, at best greatly reduces physical performance, and, for many people such as myself, it causes very terminal health-problems in the long run.
I've been doing a rare experiment by adding in lots of black pepper to the meats. I've noticed, interestingly, that my bowel movements have been more frequent as a result(I've only been adding in carbs as of this friday, mostly, so it wasn't the carbs but the pepper which was responsible). I have to admit to being rather concerned as to how bowel movements are so infrequent when only eating raw meats. I suspect that the spices somehow speed up digestion and/or passage through the bowels.
Well it's an acquired tasted but I just love the sharp taste of raw apple-cider vinegar.
Well, I've never tried hide-fat but I've heard from Gary, a member of rawpaleodiet, who claims that hide-fat is not only richer in omega-3s than suet, but is much tastier and much healthier for you.
I also came from raw vegan with a transition threw eating some raw dairy and eggs into eating raw meat. I think it was lamb and I was pretty afraid of it in a strange way. I was afraid the taste would be bad and that I might get sick. It's hard to explain, I didn't really think I would get sick, but social conditioning was giving me an almost unconscious reaction to it in the form of fear. Lamb is a little weird tasting but all in all I found it not so bad. Then after that I tried a million ways of eating different cuts of meat to try and make it more appealing, eventually landing on my preferred method which is to be either thin cuts or cubes of red meat and cut them into smallish bite size pieces. I then take some hide fat or suet and cut that into similar size pieces, and usually put two together in each bite. I actually prefer the taste and texture of combining the muscle and fat together in every bite more than either of the two alone now.
Absolutely interesting.
Can you reply with the URL found on zerocarb forum regarding this quote?
I'd like to follow up on this and try to find the culprits.
The fertility powers of oysters is a persistent folklore... persistent because it's true (in my case).
EM (Extended Micro-organisms). Was the only did that actually did anything noticeable, but having odourless shit and farts was not worth the trouble of making it.
(No kidding)
I agree. Fruit alone(as a former Fruitarian) didn't make me fat, it made me ultra-thin. But a high-fat/high-carb diet is deadly dangerous, even if raw.
