Hi Nicola,

These simply "distilled opinion" of what I think is garbage about chemicalizing food.  Saying fruit = sugar or fruit = fructose.  Which in my opinion is baloney and wrong.  Just as we cannot just lump protein = beef = wild salmon = wild tuna = farmed fish or FAT = canola oil = butter = beef brains = marrow = extra virgin olive oil

This is why we humans crave for variety.  All these foods are different.  All these foods give different results.  All these foods have different nutrition. 

Fruit is a paleolithic heritage.  In tropical and forested areas, people had to snack on fruit for hydration and food in between kills of meat. 

Paleolithic times does not mean exclusively ice age times... where people were forced to be carnivorous... the ice ages came in and out. 

Weston Price studied different isolated healthy tribes and eskimos were just one of them.

In times of healing... not so sweet fruits are used as fasting tools.

What i'm saying is that this diagram about fructose may be true for PURE fructose as a chemical but certainly DOES NOT apply to all the fruits of today and up to 5 million years ago.

This post does not mean to suggest to go either high carb or low carb... it merely suggests that fruits are a paleolithic food and the amount of fruits people ate would have depended on where they were and what kind of fruits were available and at what season.

Do the Aeta consume these raw. or are these foods cooked?

This current generation of aetas consume their meat cooked. These are not isolated peoples. Their ancestors were... some 100+ years ago.

That's a nice observation.  Wai diet is considered Paleo.
I live in a tropical country and I can attest to the availability of fruits all year round.

Plus in my personal experiments fruit carbohydrates seem to be far different from cooked grain and cooked starchy carbohydrates in the observation that it is highly improbable fruitarians will ever be fat...

how strict are you for following this diet?

I'm fairly strict because I want results.

Do you ever eat out or only rarely and what do you order?

Our food bill is already astronomical with the best fruits and the best animal food.  I don't see anything restaurants can offer at any price that entices me to eat there.  When we are invited to parties, to be cordial I eat either raw fruit or cooked fatty meat... whatever is the least damaging.  I view my home shopped food as the ultimate best.  I am curious and would want to visit all you other raw paleo people and taste your food.  I just live so far away from most of you.

Do you ever cheat once in a while and have a slice of bread..

I have zero cravings for grains or other unhealthy food.  Got rid of cravings some time ago with my detoxes and fasts.

or even a sweet fruit like a banana? or do you beat yourself up about it if you consume something not on the diet-list?

I eat bananas, but I make sure they are local organic bananas, and just one or two bananas is enough as a snack.  Not a meal.  Bananas are part of my paleolithic diet.  I consider bananas as paleo food in the Philippines.  We export to the world the bananas we don't like... the cavendish bananas, and those are sprayed with insecticides and factory farmed.

I'm just wondering, because this is a very limiting diet taking it out from a social context. I mean don't any of you have problems around friends or co-workers, considering you have to say no to every offer of a piece of fruit or sandwich or even cooked meat?

Raw paleo for me means raw fruits, raw vegs, raw meat... in a social context I will eat cooked fatty meat or raw fruits which is acceptable, raw vegs is acceptable, raw fish is acceptable socially.

I run my own company and I live 500 meters away from my office so I always eat at home.  Besides, I'm the boss and acknowledged altruistic healer, it's in my business card, so my employees know and understand.  For snacks I buy them fruits and sometimes they request cooked balut -- duck fetus, which is popular in my country so it is socially yummy.  Cooked meat paleo for socials at worst for me.  And I eat little outside the house.  I stuff myself first at home before leaving.

What do you do if a friend asks why you won't eat that or why you never eat what they offer? Do you just straight out say you are following a raw meat diet? Or do you keep it a secret from people and just avoid putting yourself in situations where you might be asked?

When people ask I tell them it's a medical thing.  That is socially acceptable.  When we get into a deeper conversation and I teach people how to cure themselves... they know and understand why raw paleo... because it works!  If you are terminally sick... which diet do you bet your life on?  Raw paleo!

Hi David,

I eat fruits every morning.  I drink and eat a lot of fresh coconuts.  I use fruits for my hydration instead of water.  Coconut meat is fat.  Also extra virgin olive oil sometimes.

I eat raw celery every now and then.

This breakfast I had some melon and 4 raw eggs.

at mid day I drank coconut juice and ate coconut meat.

I just had raw fish eggs with fermented vinegar and thin slices of ginger.

I don't like lean meat.  I like fatty meat.  Fat is my energy source to replace what I used to eat: cooked rice.

When I'm out on socials, just to be cordial, I will eat cooked fatty meat, raw ripe fruits or raw vegetables... whichever I see is more healthy or least damaging.  As a rule, I stuff myself and my kids at home before going to a party or a restaurant because you can't expect the common people to come up with anything healthy in mind.  Worst case, I brought my own food and slyly ate raw meat.

Daniel Vitalis was a former raw vegan.
He was doing great the first 2-3 years as raw vegan.
Then after 7 more years on raw vegan he gave it up, suffered nutritional deficiencies
He added raw animal foods to his diet.
He is now on raw paleo diet, has been so for 5 years.

Daniel was interviewed as a resource export on One Radio Network.



Daniel Vitalis is not a vegan any longer.  Why not? Daniel has been researching the best water to drink and is an ardent student of getting the best nutrition to reach his goals.  He is the creator of ElixirCraft, he has been deeply immersed in Raw Foods, SuperFoods, Herbalism and Live Food nutrition for more than 14 years.  We think you'll hear some interesting and unique ideas from Daniel on how to reach your health goals.  Please pass this link on to everyone you care about.

Wow, welcome.
I wish I had started at your age.
We didn't have internet when I was your age.

Raw paleo foods will depend on what is available and what you can afford in your area.  Maybe fellow Americans can give you tips where they buy their stuff.

I increased my sperm count with raw oysters twice a week in my diet way before I ever heard about healthy eating.  I measured it with before and after readings.  From 100 million / ml to 300 million / ml. 

Must have something to do with their current living conditions and diet.

In my personal timings, assuming I do not stuff myself with food and observe digestion of food eaten one kind at a time, this is my observation:

raw ripe fruit: 20 minutes
raw meat such as beef or tuna: 60 minutes

If I stuff myself with too much raw meat, it can take 4 hours.

Lesson for myself is not to stuff myself with too much food in one sitting.  It seems my digestive capacity only goes for so much food eaten at one sitting.

It is worse when I stuff myself with cooked meat, I get so so so sleepy.

Great idea regarding in-eutero feeding.  The baby immediately tastes what the mother ate.

I've seen raw vegan families and raw vegan babies growing up on video.

How about raw paleo diet humans.  It would be such a rush to pair up any of our RPD bachelors and RPD bachelorets and see if their baby in-eutero are born with no taste for cooked food. I'm sure one of these days it will happen...

What's the deal with drinking blood? Anyone experimented?   

Cooked blood is normal in Philippine cuisine.
I have heard tribal stories of tribesmen drinking straight from the neck of a live goat.
I only eat the blood I get from freshly killed beef we get at the market.
Slaughter is at 12 midnight and it's in the market by 4am.  I usually get to buy at 8am and have it for lunch.
It is my 3 year old daughter that taught me dunking the meat in the little pool of blood in the plate tastes good.
I haven't the urge to get into blood drinking when we've got lots of fresh coconut juice.
