Hi,

at the moment I have only access to grainfed animals. I eat raw fish and fishroe and eggs. But it starts getting boring and I can not eat very much of it. I would like to add liver and bone marrow to my diet and some meat. Is grain fed liver and bone marrow ok grainfed or is it better not to eat land animals at all if I dont have access to grassfed. What about lard? And grainfed chicken? 

I did not try high meat yet but sometimes my fish ist quite aged and a bit smelly, I let it open in my ventilated fridge (Don't know it it counts). Also I do my own Sauerkraut and Kimchi.
It seems that I dont digest meat at all at the moment. I eat fish insted.

I had the same  problem with a raw meat high fat diet with very little carbs. Developed a lot of spider veins on my legs and panicked and stoped the paleo diet for a while.
I am experimenting now, doing only fish and veggies and seeweed and sprouts, that does not seem to give me vein problems.

I eat a lot of sardins and thought about drying the bones and then mix them in the Vitamix. Would the powder then be somehow as nutritious as bone broth?

Hi Sully,

thanks for the photos, so now I know your face.
I think I will stop eating so often.
This night I was supersick, I just eat to often to mutch to mixed but I am so scared of loosing weight and I always want to gain weight.
With meat only I am quickly satisfied, always when I try it I loose weight. I consider cooking a bit something like quinoa just for the goal of gaining weight. Fruit would be easy but I dont want all the sugar and anyway I am not very fond of fruit. Does not satisfy me at all.
Hanna, so you dont eat so mutch meat at all. Why?
Where do you get your meat and what kind of meat, what cuts do you like?

Hi Sully,

I am definetly not a raw vegan in desguise. Not at all vegan (any more) and not 100 % raw neither.
I will post some up to date photos I think, but where can I see your pictures?
I just changed to 4 meals a day because 2 large meals I find hard to digest and also I tend to overeat with only two meals. 3 meals I did before, now I try 4 because I would like to gain weight and think that this way I can eat, tolerate more food, kcal without stuffing myself.


Hi Cinna,
How long are you on this diet and how are things going for you with paleo?
these spider veins are on my leggs, they are not big, just smal broken veins under the surface. I can live with it, just dont wont them to become more. And it is definetely not a sign of perfect health.
I wonder if I am I the only one one this board with  spider veins? Everybody askes for a description and fotos and nobody seems to know .them Strange, because when I go to the beach here almost everybody I see has it. Perhaps people in Europe are different.

miles, your picture is quite an upturn, I hope my legs will never look like this!
How did you recognise that your  circulation slowed down?
How much fat did you eat and what do you eat now.
I think you mean one should eat organs. I thought about it but I dont now where to buy it. It is so hot, the bio-butcher said it is to hot at the moment to sell organs???
I can only buy organic meat here, dont know if it is grasfed. Might be a reason for this vein problem. If the animals are grainfed I  eate a lot of Omega 6 I guess.
I would like to find a source of good animal products here in france

Ok, I try to make fotos when I go to the beach but it is just a lot of fine brocken blue veins under the surface of  my skin and this is NOT pretty.
I dont think it is hereditary, and it got clearly worse with paleo  and it makes me freak out.
Forthehunter, when I eat more lean meat, isn't it a burden for the kidneys?
And how I get all my calories. I would love to gain some pounds also.
Anyway, where are the women on this forum und why are not so mutch of it here?

Hi Tyler,

why do you advise against too much sea food .I have some circulation problems and with the raw paleo meat and fat eating it got worse.I thought fish would be a good option because it is lighter and thins the blood

wouldn`t it be better to grind the meat before eating it? Then you can chew all of it and it might be better digestibel.

Hi raw-all,

makes a lot of sense what you are writing. I wish I had known about it earlier.
what do you use for your veggie juice. would be juicing sprouts a good idea?
with the juicing thing I don't get it. Some say that it is superhealthy and others, a lot of paleos as well, think that stuff is poisonous because of the antinutritions and stuff. I think lots of greens have some antinutritions, carrots and things have starches, cruciferus have goiterogens, some plants have a lot of oxalic acid and so on. What do you think about wheatgras. And do you think smoothies could be good?
At the moment I just put vegetable, spices, meat or fish and something fatty like butter or coconut or bone marrow or avocado in a food processor and mix it until I cant be see or taste what it was before and than I can eat (and digest) it.  actually it tastes quite good and I don't need much of it. I would love to let go of the huge amounts of food I had to eat as a raw vegan. You are so right with what you wrote about vata eating sprouts and vegetable's is like eating stones. This is how I feel a long time. I eat and I eat ( all so healthy stuff) but I am starving. The only time I could gain weight and substance while doing raw was when I ate a lot of high sugar fruit with nuts.  But I was never very comfortable with all this fruit, made me irritable and hurt my teethe. High fat as a raw vegan did not work for me neather. I always felt sick with all this fat and the huge fat veggie smoothies I made. So  I found this thing with eating sprouts as a staple food. Do you think it would be good to cook the sprouts
About eggs, this morning I was a bit hungry so I decided to start my day with two raw egg yolks. O my god, I was so  sick the whole day, don't now if it was because 2 is to much or if it was just to early to eat, (normally I do not eat so fast after getting up? Anyway I have this problem a lot, I eat something, often if some fat is involved, and after it I am really really sick, often cant eaten for a long time after it, seems that everything rests in my stomach, does not moves for hours and makes me nauseous. At the end I often loose weight this way, funny because I did it simply to gain weight
Because raw paleo is also high fat I am wondering if I could strengthen my fat digesting abilities. Or is it that it will come when I have myself adapted  with the new foods?
Why do you think that flax is not good for me? High in omega 3. And what about hemp?
I always head you should not eat the egg white raw. You think it is better?
How do you feel with the raw paleo diet? Do you recognize some improvement? I think I do have to read ajonious books, the fist one I bought already, the second one is quite expensive. Is there any other book you can recommend.
It must be difficult to stay on the diet while traveling. Where do you travel to?

all the best
Noel

Hi raw-all,

what you are writing is very interesting.  I never thougt Ayurveda could be compatibel with raw paleo.
I am a raw foodist for years, mostly vegetarien and vegan und quite very smal I think I definitly have to gain weight but I do not get it with veggies and sprouts and nuts and stuff, that is why I am going to try raw paleo. I like the Ayurvedic aproach and tried it a coupel of times but this mostly vegetarien cooking thing does not feels right to me.
I am a vata almost 100 % and a woman. So what should I eat in an ayurvedic paleo lifestyl.
Why do thy write that lamb is not good for Vata. I thougt it must be very good because it is so yang (heating) and I feel often very cold. And it is a healty meat. What about dairy. I used to make my own raw goat joghurt and I have sometimes raw sheep cheese and raw butter of corse and raw cream?
Also I still eat a lot of raw veggies, it is a habit and it satisfies my hunger, is it good for me?
What about sprouts like buckwheat and oats, lentils, I think it is not even paleo? And wild Herbs?
How much raw eggs would be ok for a smal vata woman?
Would love to know what you think about it.
