just checked her website. The pictures on there look a lot more natural. a lot less unbelievable but still pretty amazing.

milk, honey, butter, eggs milkshakes. They are very anabolic. Very high cal due to lots of fat. Good proteins and large insulin response due to the honey and milksugar. They are also the perfect post workout drink for the same reasons.

2x a week very intense but short weighttraining will make you gain that weight easily. and please ignore bmi.

Why would starch cause mucus but not sugar?

I actually also already have pastured butter, coconut milk and water, and Great Lakes gelatin and and started recently experimenting with them with no noticeable effects. I also sometimes have a cup of coffee in the morning. Instead of OJ, cooked tubers and table sugar, which all give me some negative effects, I eat raw fermented honey, carrots, parsnips and berries. So I'm already doing something very close to a Ray Peat diet.

Your re-introduced coffee in your diet after years of raw?? Brave! This stuff is addictive you know... I just cut it out completely and have a hard time keeping it out and I only drank 1 occasionally 2 cups a day.

I would totally ignore BMI as it is ridiculus. bf% says way more. 150pounds(68kg) is pretty light so unless your are shorter than 1,75m and have very little muscle. I myself am 1,78m and weigh 99kg thats a BMI of 31. So according to the ignorant fools that designed the bmi index i'm not just fat I'm obese. However my bf is 12%. Is that obese? Off course not its in fact rather lean. I happen to have 30lbs more muscle than avarage.

So forget BMI and eat at least 2200kcal a day. The body cannot repair itself on a calorie deficit diet. Get healthy first and lean later!

Oh - please tell how you ferment ginger carrots! Do you mean you ferment ginger and carrots or is there something called a ginger carrot that I'm not familiar with?

A friend just brought me buy some of her home-made ginger beer. Yum. I'm going to have to learn how to make that. It's not really beer - more like fermented ginger, but I'm not complaining.

I make ginger "beer" using water kefir grains. Its very simple water, sugar (i use sundried raw cane juice powder), lots of ginger juice and kefir grains. I often add some dried fruits as well. Very tasty beverage.

I eat from 300 to 600g of berries almost every day. Eating too much sweet fruit makes my skin itchy and inflamed. Havn't eaten veggies in ages, because the last time I had some veggie juice it went straight through me...so figured my body doesn't need anything from them.

Having said that though, avocados are very different to other fruit and veg, so I don't think it is an indication for a need of more fruits and veg in general in my diet. Perhaps just more avocados.

all right I thought you were largely carnivoric. What berries do you eat and where do you get them?

Mark scisson clearly doesn't have clue about exercise. According to that quote pp provided you will get big and strong to 80% of you max genetic potential just through diet... Really? Individual potential varies off course but it is almost always a lot larger than people think. Most people can achieve a very impressive physique with an apropiate exercises regiment and a half decent diet.

Rest (sleep) is at least 50% of the results, no amount of nutrition and/or exercises will produce any results without rest.

So according to MS, on avarage, bodybuilders wil only have a 20% physical advantage over the general populations whereas primal/paleo dieters wil have an 80% physical advantage. That would probably mean that this forum houses the world best physiques.

Spent your days sitting on your ass eating large quantities of fat, meat and fruit/honey(thus paleo) and you will get fat. Spent them eating low cal SAD and exercise heavy and you will get lean/muscular. This obviously has very little to do with health. Stress the body into adaptation by means of exercises and the body will, if resources can be spent without dying and rest is provided, adapt.

Oh and Phil results from exercise do not depent upon time spent but rather on effort spent.

@paleophil
I have the same preference for suet. I eat marrow(dry kind) but don't enjoy it. The soft kind I find rather disgusting.

Some pretty harsh discussions over there. I just read through the 80/10/10 topic on rawfoodsupport.com. Seems like its a no-win argument Cherimoya most posters there have already made up their mind. They just keep repeating veg mantra's.

I have a history of very strong emotion swings. I used to get very agressive very easily. When I ditched grains and went rpd this got a whole lot better. Last couple of months I upped my fat intake a lot and I'm very calm as a result. The more fat I eat the calmer/more relaxed I am. Last week I found a supply of raw butter (I used to eat marrow, suet and vco). As of this monday I've been experimenting with the primal diet and as a result my fat intake (especially butter) has increased once again. I've never felt so balanced calm and at the same time energetic!

Fat (especially butter) is a miracle for me. Wouldn't know what to do without it.

And what kind of fats do you eat?

Mostly marrow, suet and vco. Since yesterday also raw butter.

So what's the verdict GS?

If you require any aditional information on the Netherlands you can always ask.

Detox is a funny word. It has been discussed here ad nauseum in different threads.

There is such a thing as a detox where you eat some crap for a long time and some of it sticks to your innards somewhere, for various reasons and then you consume something else or get off the sofa, or you "catch" a cold and suddenly all of that stuff gets disturbed, rather like a washing machine does to dirt. Then it all comes rushing out and during that rushing out, you feel very bad, then you feel better when it's out.

Unfortunately most people don't realize that, yes, you may be having a detox but it wasn't necessary to have it in the first place.

What you should do is figure out which foods agree with you. If you get a reaction that you don't like from a food that you eat regularly, try eliminating it from your diet for say a month and see how you feel. Then try eating it for awhile. If nothing changes from the stopping and then restarting then it is presumably safe.

Some foods may take a longer and some shorter.

For me (pasteurized dairy) the change was almost immediate and very powerful.
Suddenly, gas, bloating, backaches, prostate discomfort and urination problems, lethargy, and a host of other lactose intolerance issues vanished overnight. Then it was all back with the first glass of pasteurized dairy a month later.

Raw dairy is no problem. Heated honey is very bad news for me but raw is zero problem.

You can either experiment to find out or go to an Ayurvedic doctor to get a diagnosis of what foods are apropos for you. Some stuff is on the web however you should be careful with it.

I know about detoxes and how they manifest themselves. I also know how to test for allergies.

What I ment to ask whas do you still get detoxes say ones or twice a year. Even though your food is clean and healthy I think it is pretty much impossible to avoid any toxins in this world. Therefore one might expect a detox once in a while. The primal diet is very detoxifying. Aajonus reports detoxes from medecine taken as much as 20 years ago. He found traces of the medicines in the detox medium.
