Would like to get people's opinions on that.

Cheers.

Hi,

Guys please post any info regarding your meal frequency (Really interested in getting a wide range of thoughts/views);

1,2,3 meals a day?

Eat within a certain time period, then fast the rest?

Variable?

Does anyone here eat 3 meals a day?

Also time of day would be of interest as well.

Cheers

Phil

More specifically, is there an issue with tomato?

Hey,

Despite being relatively new to raw paleo, I initially had no issues eating raw organs. I ate liver, kidney, heart and tongue.

I have suddenly gone massively off kidney. I don't know if I read it somewhere or if I have told myself this, but I can't get it out of my head that they smell like piss!! Apologies for the graphic description!

Is their strong smell that of piss? They do filter urine I believe.

Or have I just told myself this?

Also, could going off the taste be my bodies way of letting me know that I don't need this in my diet?

Are raw kidneys very nutritious?

I'm really into raw heart at the moment. Very tasty!

Cheers,

Phil

Hey Tyler,

Hope you are well. A few quick questions sir;

I know you are a carb eater, and that ZC did not suit you. Do you know about how many grams of carbs you eat per day? Or about how much?

Also, the majority of your carbs is raw fruits, yer? What fruits do you go for in the UK?

Finally, when you started your raw paleo adventure your adrenals were burnt-out. Did you struggle to tolerate the fruits at first, or have they always caused no issue?

Are you concerned about your fructose intake? Hehe, I expect not.

Cheers,

Phil

Hi,

Can you do the Liver Flush mentioned by Goodsamaritan using the dreaded Organic, Free-Range, Supermarket Eggs?

I cannot seem to source any decent eggs anywhere!

Thanks,

Phil

Ok, I know I have asked a few members of this forum (Tyler/PaleoPhil) this question already, but I would like to start a discussion on this to get everyone's take on it.

This question keeps on inhabiting my thoughts, and I'm sick of it. Hehe.

Right, my adrenals are not at 100%. To ease adrenal stress it is suggested to 1)make digestion as easy as possible, and 2)to reduce blood sugar fluctuations.

Ok, so when eating fruit it is ideal to eat it on its own (optimum digestion), however this spikes blood sugar. On the other hand eating it with a protein/fat source buffers the blood sugar spike, but has a negative effect on digestion.

Tyler says that everyone is different, however in his case he opted for the optimum digestion of eating fruit on its own, and had success this way. His blood sugar issues corrected themselves once his digestion was sorted.

PaleoPhil, again thinks everyone is different, but for him he was able to tolerate fruits better when combined with a fat source.

I think AV believes fruits are best combined with a fat source to buffer the blood sugar spike, although I am not 100% if this is his current stance.

The normal advice given tends to be for people with adrenal burnout to combine carbs with a protein/fat source.

Any other thoughts on this? Which way is the best way to go? Or is it all individual?

Or could Bitter Melon Fruit intake be the answer? Or perhaps only eating fruits with a low glycemic impact?

I defo feel I need the carbs, and don't really want to go ZC.

I know I am probably over analysing this, but when something is in your brain its hard to get rid of it!

Cheers guys,

Phil

Hi Goodsamaritan,

I have bought some Bitter Melon fruit (Karela) from a local Indian supermarket. Have no idea of the freshness, where its from, or how long it has been sitting on the shelf. Is this an issue?

Anyway, what is the best way to eat it?

Do you eat the outer pimply skin part (Surely not)? Do you peal it? Or do you just wash it, and then eat everything?

Do you eat the seeds and the white middle portion?

Or is it the harder green inner layer you eat, having peeled off the outer layer?

Do you eat it with carbs to improve glucose tolerance, or can it be eaten at any time to help with this?

Cheers for the tips.

Phil

I would be interested in people's experiences on Raw Paleo one meal a day?

Find it useful?

I would be especially interested to hear from anyone who has used this approach with adrenal fatigue?

Cheers

Phil

Hello to the lovely members of this forum,

How do people get on as regards constipation? (Especially those on zero-carb diets!)

I have been struggling of late, and I guess it is of no surprise, with my increased protein intake (I normally on average have 3 meals a day, with a protein portion approximately 150g-ish in weight with each, although this is sometimes quite a fatty portion/ sometimes it is fairly lean like an organ meat).

My protein is normally in the form of red meats, liver, lamb, beef, and so also I believe the large quantities of iron can also have an impact in this area. I had liver four times last week.

I still eat some starches (Raw carrot), but no fruits. And I eat plenty of fat, although I am currently trying to eat even more.

Just wondered how people get on with this, especially on an all animal based diet.

Thanks

Hey guys,

I need to add some serious extra calories to my raw meals in the form of fat. I already eat enough protein.

I currently struggle to get decent eggs to eat raw, and I have not yet located a decent source for fish yet either.

I currently ask my butcher for the fattiest cuts of beef/lamb, I get bone marrow bones, and I ask for additional animal fat trimmings.

Is there any fat source other than these that I could ask for specifically? Is there a particular area on a cow/lamb that is pure fat that people ask for?

Any particular favourites? I get the impression that bone marrow is a favourite with most. Not tried suet yet (Don't even know if this is available)

Also, does the fat trimmings people get tend to have like a chewy thin skin like membrane round the outside? I have been pulling the inner fatty portion out of this membrane.
Do people know what I am mean, and if so, do they just get it down them, or do they remove it?

Cheers,

Hi,

I want to add raw eggs to my already increasing raw diet.

However I am concerned about Salmonella, mainly because I can currently only get Organic Free-range eggs from the supermarket (Tesco). It says on the box that the chickens are vaccinated against Salmonella, which I guess is not the best of moves!

What is the general opinion on this?

Is it not worth the risk, unless I can find a good local supplier?
Or would you go for the raw option over cooked even with supermarket eggs?

Cheers
