Decided to keep track of everything I ate for the past five days.  Over time, I have adjusted my almost 95% raw paleo diet to include other cooked paleo dishes.  Had a good discussion with Chris Kresser about my diet and have put some things in a different perspective now.

 * recently added after more than 3 months strictly raw paleo

Just found the first company really marketing organic grass fed beef in the Philippines at http://www.downtoearth.ph/

I understand the real grass fed beef that they offer is quite a bit thinner than some of the other really fat beef you find in the market.  I guess that is a sign that the cattle is really grass fed and not fed a mixture of grass and grains and other things to fatten them up.  I even heard some stories of force-feeding the cows molasses to make sure they get fattened in some farms in the countryside.  I assume that changes the composition and quality of the meat quite a bit.

Now I know why my blood sugar level rises on a raw paleo diet! http://thehealthyskeptic.org/when-your-%e2%80%9cnormal%e2%80%9d-blood-sugar-isn%e2%80%99t-normal-part-2?normal?-blood-sugar-isn?t-normal-part-2

After over three months on a strict raw paleo diet, I have eaten grilled chicken on 3 occasions and also ate steam and grilled shrimp a couple of times over the past two months.  I also had a beer one night and had a glass of wine with dinner tonight.  I still eat mostly raw paleo every day but do see the need for the occasional cooked (paleo) meal now and then as I travel since it is hard to always carry food around and eat raw meat with business colleagues.  I try and meet my business contacts in Japanese restaurants but this does not always work out.

I agree that a lot depends on how you define vegetables and fruits.  I prefer juicing vegetables like celery, spinach, camote (sweet potato) tops, parsley, cilantro, and carrots.  Put I also like to include fruit like zucchini and cucumber in my juices.  I don't eat a lot of vegetables but mostly juice them. The fruits I eat are lots of tomato, cucumber, avocados, and plenty of coconuts (juice and meat).  I also occasionally eat whole fruit like watermelon, banana, oranges, apples, and berries.  There are good vitamins and nutrients that are better sourced from some amount of vegetable juices and fruit but you still need mostly fat and animal protein.

I have noticed that I am waking up more often with numbness in my hands and more regular muscle cramps in my feet and lower legs at night.  Anyone else suffer from these symptoms on a raw paleo diet?  My food intake is mostly raw red meat, raw tuna, vegetables (mostly in juice), 5-6 young coconuts a day, some fruit, and 3-4 raw eggs a day.

I will be traveling to attend a meeting near Pembroke Pines and then another meeting in Ft Meyers in late January and wanted advice on organic stores in these cities.  Anyone from these cities?

I have been fighting a bit of a cold/flu for the past two weeks with a cough that would not go away. It is getting better now and I have also used honey and raw honey.  The brand I was able to get was "Honey Gardens - Apitherapy Raw Honey." It is the closest I was able to find to a raw honeycomb. Seems to help.

YS, my SGPT/ALT and SGOT/ALT are both normal.  Uric jumped back to 8.47.

No I only ate one cooked meal because we were guests somewhere but I already had the flu.  I was off the steroids so I think I got it the old fashion way from others around me who were sick with the flu.  I guess a raw paleo diet does not make you completely immune to the flu or colds ;-) I have tried the Ginger and raw honey along with lemon. Still have a cough and some congestion after 10 days but getting better.

I am trying raw eggs with orange juice and alternating with juiced ginger, raw lemon juice, and a bit of raw honey.  Any one else try something else?

  dinner tonight was buffalo rib steak for the first time!  Very tasty!
