I disagree on the comments about using a rifle. They aren't any more 'humane' than using a bow. A rifle bullet (or slug, or steel ball if you use a muzzle loader) creates fierce pain that kills quickly due to massive tissue damage (assuming that you hit a vital spot). An arrow creates much less pain and kills slightly less quickly because it causes less tissue damage (again assuming that you hit a vital spot).
The benefit of rifles (and firearms more generally) is that they make it easy to kill without requiring people to learn how to hunt. You don't have to learn the habits of an animal, you don't have to learn fieldcraft, you don't have to learn to make any tools, etc. Just buy a gun, sit in a tree and wait for something to walk by within a few hundred yards of you. Most folks who use rifles to kill, in my opinion, are more akin to snipers than they are to hunters.
This reminds me that some folks here said that Asian markets should have the exotic tropical fruits that people rave about here, like safus, durian, custard apple and so forth. I diligently checked out all the local Asian and health food markets, hunting down every one I could find, to the tiniest little Asian and Indian markets, and none of them had a single one of these fruits, so no luck here. Even coconuts are considered relatively exotic and sold in very small numbers in this area, LOL.That doesn't surprise me that much Phil. Maybe I'm misguided in my thinking but I would assume that where you are there isn't a large percentage of recent Asian immigrants. You stock the market for what the locals will buy.
Dr Ron is a fan of the WAPF and has written articles about that diet.Tell him you eat it plain without much preparation; you like the flavor of the game to come through without adulteration. No lies yet you don't have to worry about telling them you eat it raw.
The last time I bought some raw wild game, I had one of the butchers ask me how I cooked the meats, as they occasionally do. I rarely have the guts to state that I eat it raw, so I just stand there, usually, quite speechless. The trouble is that if I'm honest, then that just causes more problems.
Thank you Tyler for your most useful reply.I agree.
Is everyone in agreement with Tyler that freezing would be the least of the evils?
I'm thinking my strategy maybe should be fruit only in the morning. Does that make sense? I love fruit... right now I'm hooked on fresh bahri dates. It's the season. They melt in your mouth like caramel. And you want more and more... until you have a stomachache and you've spoiled your dinner.If I ate fruit that would be how I would do it.
Hey, you'all, I'm in western Massachusetts. I'm glad to see there are other northeasterners on here. If anyone has any ideas for me getting meat that hasn't been frozen out here, let me know... I'm pretty new to this.I don't have a source for unfrozen but if you go the frozen route the farmer I buy from might be within driving distance for you depending on how close to the NY border you are:
Also why is suet harder to digest?It's a much more saturated fat so needs more bile to process.
Re: amounts of food for daily eating, I eat about 1 pound of meat/fish daily, plus some fruit and raw dairy. I eat about 50% more than that if I'm doing a physically active job. I'm about 135-140 pounds. If you're very active, or much larger than me, then you could, at least theoretically, need that much food in one day.I'm 175 and pretty active when I can be. I can't do a large amount of food (3+ pounds) multiple days in a row though. Some days I'll crave more food than my normal which is 2 to 2 1/2 pounds of meat and those are the days that get up to 3+. They almost always correlate to recovery after a particularly tiring day.
Eating right before bed is a bad idea, but a bite of something won't make a big difference. You, however, ate about 2 days worth of food, and then went almost directly to bed. You learned not to do it again, right?FWIW depending on his weight & level of activity that could be a day's worth of food. I've had a number of days over the past couple months, the most recent was Saturday, where I took down 3 pounds of meat and 1/4-1/2 pound of suet in one day.
I don't think the cheese caused it, although you really should be careful about your dairy sources. It should always be grassfed.
Hey Dan - I was being tongue-in-cheek about Paleo Phil as he was the one who over years demonstrated calm loving and respectful information to my raw vegan self and therefore the reason I am here. Just bantering a bit with Zi as we both know he's a doll.It's getting to be time for bed. I caught it at first and then responded at face value without thinking. It's all good; Phil knows we love him.
I have a question and don't know if this is the right place to ask it.Two things:
I am doing a coconut oil detox to see if that helps my situation any better, done the saliva test and those questionnaires so was gonna give it a try, my only concern is the fact that there is no protein for three days and i don't want to loose any weight, i heard meat inhibits candida so was wondering if a small amount of beef steak just to get a small amount of protein would be ok?
Zi - what better than to have a zero-carb dude be moderator for the raw vegan section? Talk about some strict moderation that would be! hee hee.Not necessarily. I'm "ZC" through and through yet find I'm pretty lenient to vegan/vegetarian discussion. I guess it's because I found my way to RAF through other means than raw vegan like many on the forum did.
Time for another break from the forum I feel. I don't think I have access to any grass fed fats here, and don't enjoy the questionable lamb mince at all.Take care Josh.
I have also had many problems adapting to raw paleo and low carb which I've posted about repeatedly, and can't deal with the ups and downs with work and life at the moment. So back to doing the best I can with diet, and not thinking about how it's harming me too much!
Hopefully...someday...maybe I can be raw paleo. All the best in the meantime. Happy hunting!
I am happy to answer questions and rant further (of course) here but I I do hope other people will contribute stories and photos and the like - as Sully and Hannibal have done . Despite efforts by those folks as well as a few others like Sabertooth and GS this site is still missing a 'human' face as to how this lifestyle can work in the real world to fuel happy, healthy people.I've noticed that myself. I need to take some update shots and post them up. I've still got plenty of work to do to get where I want to be but I'm happy with how it's going.
My neighbor has a venison processing plant and he mostly tosses the heads in the trash. I am going to get what I can he doesn't want to give me or sell me much, he is friendly, I don't understand the rules of venison exchange.You can't sell game meat in New York. You can give it away though.
I was given some of last years venison from a friend. It was wrapped in paper and doesn't taste good. I like frozen venison, but this isn't as good, it isn't horrible, but I'm wondering if I'll get much health benefit from old frozen meat.I've had venison that was over a year old given to me. I ate it and while it did taste a bit different it still felt more nourishing than farmed grassfed/finished meat. Your mileage may vary.
Couldn't you just chest-press with dumbbells rather than relying on a spotter to bench? Dumbbells use more stabilisiing muscles and offer greater ROM anyway.I guess I could. I didn't really think about it but you're right. I'll give it a shot Friday. Thanks Miles.
