Well my wife and I eat organs and suet. Around 4 pounds of liver a week(each) id say.. she probably eats a bit more than i do, but we're not turning orange yet after months.  When you've had enough liver, you dont want it anymore (which isnt much help if you aren't really keen on it in the first place, but hey..)  We will eat just liver for 2-3 days while its fresh and best, then pick up our next liver the next week, so we pack back a whole bunch, then move onto our kidneys and hearts etc. and if we eat all our organs before they send in the next cow, THEN we pick up some muscle meats.

My wife eats lots of suet and she does fine on it, I personally dont find i digest suet as well, but it might be because i eat all kinds of omnivorous stuff on top of my meat(while she's carnivore).

I dont think you have to worry about 'Overdosing' on anything that you're picking up from the butchers. I would think that you will just not want to eat it anymore,  long before you develop leprosy.

Although my wife had a similar experience eating a big whack of moose brain, to when she eats too much adrenal. So we figure she must have eaten the hormone glands in the brain and they sometimes make you feel like you're tripping balls and you dont know if you're going to throw up or shit yourself.

haha, so glad i was born a man, so that im only expected to work... and not have 12 children, and work... haha.

When you live a hard life, your body grows hard.  But there is a reason that people are not still living in tents and caves (well i suppose i live in a tent, but whatever) and thats because its not comfortable.  You get wet and cold and hungry and sore, cut up and bruised.. and thats great fun for a weekend camping trip, but after YEARS of doing it, its just life, and yes, you get used to it... but that warm (reliable) meal and soft bed start looking pretty damn nice when bugs are driving you crazy and mother nature isnt stuffing food down your throat.

When you dont have to slug it out in the field, you have more time to appreciate your life and enjoy art and music and conversation.. I guess women get to do that while they're sitting around beading and letting their el nino's suck on them.. but mabye they want a little more in their lives? mabye they would like to have the same kind of opportunity as men?

I dont even know how to say what im trying to say. I guess im just jaw-dropped that you honestly think a woman's purpose is to breed and cook and do the things that men think women should do.  I think we should move the human race FORWARD, but i guess going forwards isnt 'paleo'... haha.

Paleophil.. on the internet, you too can be anyone! haha

But no, my wife and I have never kept what we do a 'secret'.
I told my family straight up from day one what we were doing, (one) because its interesting, and (two) (and probably the real reason) was so that if we started to die horribly, at least somebody knew what we were doing. Since we 'look great' and stuff they know its obviously not detrimental (except for parasites, which we have had a few times) But after the initial excitement of the diet, i have learned to not talk food with other people (unless they obviously want to).  
When you suggest that somebodys current diet is not the 'best', then you're pretty much saying they are !WRONG! and thats when it all goes downhill.
I always make sure to say 'hey, this is just whats working for me, its not the ONLY diet, since people are obviously thriving on all kinds of diets, if yours is working for you then it sounds like you're doing pretty good."  Whereas before id try give them the 'facts' about why they are !WRONG!, nobody wants to listen to that person.

First day at our new job, my wife and I whip out our 'pirate lunchboxes' (just raw meat and some spice and codliver oil) and have lunch with everybody. After the few usual questions we're back to doing what we were before. Its no big deal to them, i guess because its no big deal to us, we're just having lunch.

Everyone i get my meat from knows as well, since everyone always ask(ed) 'how do you cook it?' and I just say 'I dont'.  And they're not about to argue with their best customer.. haha.

I think one of my butchers said a few weeks ago that they were skeptical at first, but almost 3 years later we're still going strong and she said 'yeah i dont think its weird anymore, i guess i just got used to it', since im always in there telling them the meat inspector is a bitch because she wont let me have the brains, and how to leave the adrenal glands in the fat for me when they take it out.. haha.

Another reason we're just up front is because people always offer you food/drinks, and when you just always shoot them down with no explanation they might think you're being a dick. Instead they say 'Id offer you a sangwitch, but you would probably prefer some like... raw sausage or something! haha!'.

I dont know, mabye we just have a good attitude.. like if you're insecure about your diet people can tell? i dont know.

*edit*
Or mabye its just because my wife and I did this together, whereas most people seem to be doing it solo and their partner still eats whatever. So when you have two people doing it it helps make you more sure, and secure in/of what you're doing?

Going on TV?,  ...it just isn't paleo....


haha.

You're probably paying for the 'work' that went into getting it out of the bone.

I think they're apples and oranges.  Is liver or kidneys better for you?

I thought you said, Tyler that you tried to use marrow as your fat source and had problems because of the monopolysaturates or whatever they are?

I just think you would have a much easier time getting loads of suet, over marrow (depends on how much fat you're eating a day)

I would eat them both, which doesn't help you since you seem to have to choose one over the other? or can you get suet one week, marrow bones the next? 

I eat a lot of liver since nobody wants it and its cheap.  I'll have about 5+lbs a week for a few weeks, then they won't send an animal in so i'll have a week off, then be eating it again.

You pretty much know when you're done eating liver.  Its great when you first start eating it, but when you put a piece in your mouth and you just kinda 'blah' it off your tongue, not interested anymore... you've had enough liver.. haha.

I eat it pretty regularly and have not turned yellow yet. But my wife is sensitive to carbs and is on the fence about eating large amounts of liver in one sitting.

IMO competitive sport is childish unless ur gettin paid

haha holy shit Proteus, have you been taking posting tips from Achilezies?
Gold star for that gem... haha.

You know you can do anything competitively?  from darts to fighting to lawn bowls to hockey?
It sounds like an excuse as to why you dont try as hard as you can.. Just keep telling yourself its 'childish'
Taking shit too seriously at the cost of your lifes happiness isnt good; but working hard to keep yourself stronger/more skilled than the other people around you is a good motivator of good health.

Probably why the people here who care about 'childish competition' are trying to eat well and take care of themselves, while you on the other hand drink some mutant cocktail of processed powders as food, even though you know its 'wrong'. haha.

Im doing something right now GS.... and its not laughing..... 

Yeah, but we're talking about zero carb here. A plain carnivorous diet where you are only eating meat fat and organs. Its not like my wife is choosing her weight. She is just eating lots of fat, organs and meat.

Whats the deal then if low body fat is not as advantageous as the universally agreed upon paleo fact of 20% body fat, then does that mean a zero carb diet is not as desirable as one that includes foods that will 'fatten you up a bit'?

no sabertooth. I am probably more poor, and more of a bum than you are. I am not judging you. I am telling you how the world see's you, and how the world will react to somebody of your social status, or whatever you want to call it.  It sucks, its not fair, but its reality.

WHY would somebody want to listen to you? 
My mom watches that stuff.. WHY would she want to listen to what you have to say, and take you serious? what have you done that would make a stranger respect the words that you have to say?

Its fun to imagine and fantasize, but when you're making decisions like this you have to make them from a mind that's grounded in reality.

You dont think its strange that after three pages.. YOU are the only person who thinks that this is a good idea?

Sabretooth, are you joking when you say all that stuff about your wife? Keeping her pregnant so that she doesnt have the choice to leave you for a man with more testosterone..? what the fucks?

I have heard women mention that eating a zero carb diet stops their menstruation. My wife has noticed the same thing since starting zero carb a few years ago. Have any other zero carb women noticed anything similar?
And do you think it is still possible to get a yeast infection while being zero carb?
She noticed that she only ever got her period if she 'ate something weird' like we had to eat oats for a few weeks and she got her period about a week later after having not had it for about 6 months. Then again after eating more fruit than usual about 6 months later again.
Mabye its just a coincidence and she just has a weird bi-annual cycle or something.
