As I sad just curious no critism intended. By intense I mean percentage of momentairy ability. no doubt your workout are hard, probably even brutal. When you can do more than 20 reps you move towards aerobic exercise, you do not ask the muscle to perform near its peak performance. If you would the reps would be lower. Not asking a muscle to work within its reserve anaerobic ability means no growt stimulation because your muscle can easily do what you ask. Stil great cardio though thats what I meant.

I hate the mainstream 1muscle a day low intense workouts. As you could have seen in my post my workouts is full body very heavy very intense and very short. Try doing 8 exexises to complete muscular failure in 20min and you  know what I mean. This kind of workout stimulates all 3 kinds of condition: muscular strengt, cardiovascular condition, metabolic condition. No amound of work can substitute intensity.

Tuesday (April 12):

TG warm-up
light weight
150 push-ups
200 squats
1100 stairs

50 minutes.

Just curious. What's your goal with those workouts? They are nowhere near intense enough for muscular development so I gues you do them for cardio? or to burn callories?

Our tapwater is groundwater which is pumped through the coastal sand-dunes to filter. Afterwards there is some additional filtering but not much.

My dairy was pasteurized too until recently when I went raw and discovered the amazing benefits of raw milk. Too bad all other types of raw dairy are illegal in the Netherlands. Made some yoghurt and butter myself but its so time consuming!

    Many women out of fear of using their vaginas for normal birth opt for prescheduled c/s's.  Yeah, they don't feel like giving birth, so they get delivery instead, kind of like ordering pizza.  I would get a c/s or not nurse if I had to, but that would be so highly unlikely (like 1 in ten billion).  Many do it solely because they want these things done for them.  Unfortunately I hear the anesthesia of c/s may disrupt nursing process at first.

where I live things haven't gone that crazy (I think). I believe most people in the netherlands are still giving birth the normal way. I was born at home with just my folks and a midwife present. I gues I should feel priviliged about that...

when I clic members and try to arrange them by country I get an error message

I feed a little bit of raw, unheated oats and millet to my otherwise grazing birds, but it has been very difficult to find unheated organic grain. It’s most of the times hot dried.

Francois, i've bought very cheap organic (spelt)grains in the netherlands. I assume they are hot dried too. However i use them for spelt-grass and have no problem with them. If they are able to sprout they are still raw. I'd say if those easy to get oats are able to sprout(easy test) their raw and therefore good enough to feed your chicken??

I did have major issue's with short intensive movement (30 min full body HIT-workout) when on low carb. On my strenght training days, once a week, I eat loads of grapes or pineapple with raw milk for 5-1 hours before my workout. Than fast 1 hour than hit the weights. This way I get just enough carbs to be able to perform but use most of them up in my workout.

No problem with endurance type training perhaps even better on LC

first thing in the morning 0.5 ltr water + lemon juice(1 lemon) slihtly warm just above bodytemp.
wait half an hour 2-3 kiwi's chewing very wel to break the tiny seeds wait, and if necessary drink more warm water, till bowel movement.

Have had constipation issue's the first 18 years of my life and this never faled! No more constipation since cutting out grain and cooked pork years ago.

Tyler,

After 2 weeks 90% raw I did have some discomfort eating cooked meat. Since using Enzyme caps whenever eating cooked I don't suffer anymore. Obviously I try to limit my exposure to cooked stuff. I'm 99% grain free for several years now an they do give me trouble with or without supplemented enzymes. Sprouted grains do not seem to harm me but I avoid them just in case!

Enzyme supplements are very usefull when eating cooked food. The upper part of the human stomach holds food for at least half an hour allowing the enzymes in food to start digestion. Raw food contains these enzymes cooked food does not. When eating cooked food it is a very good idea to supplement the lacking food-enzymes to help our body digest the food.

However pancreatic enzymes cannot work in the acidic enviremont of the stomach, in fact they are destroyed offering no benefits for digestion. Look for enzyme supplements made from vegetable or fungus as they do work in the acidic stomach.

Also don't swallow the capsules but chew them with food. Swallowed whole they open in the intestines after the pancreas has released the needed amount of enzymes and therefore do not aid digestion. If foods are properly pre-digested in the upper part of the stomach,  the pancreas will release less enzymes and therefore drains less of your body's enzyme production leaving more for maintenance/metabolism.

Introductions aren’t my strongest point (nor is English) but I wil give it a shot since it seems kinda strange to just start posting without one.

My dietary history

The first 18 years of my life I lived on grains, shit-fed meat, greens, fruits, lots off dairy and junk. I’m from the Netherlands were they have taken the low fat hype to the next level. It is common practice to eat 2 bread meals a day. To make matters worse on this bread there should be margarine because it’s a healthy fat right? Real butter is used only very little in the Netherlands.

Sometimes I really wonder how I survived!

At 18 I started reading a lot about nutrition and slowly realised there’s something very wrong with dietary advice giving by mainstream channels. I learned the value of real fats and experimented with low carb.

Next I found out about the blood type diet and naively believed the theory largely. Being type A I embarked upon a largely vegetarian diet with some dairy and meat. During the next 5 or so years my health increased and I kept reading. Slowly my diet got less blood type and more low-fat.

Recently I found out about the work of dr E. Howel, a true pioneer imo, and started eating lots of sprouts (no grains) and raw vegetables. This really helped my health a lot. However I still felt drained by the cooked meat so I started to google raw vegan and read a lot about it. I never did raw vegan because I’ve always been very sure humans are omnivores.

I felt it should at least be possible to eat eggs dairy and some types of meat raw. This lead me to the primal diet and eventually here. The next 2 months I read as much as I could on your forum and learned more than I ever thought I would. There’s a lot of wisdom here and I’m very happy to be part of this forum now.

I’m currently transitioning to an RPD diet. I tried going cold turkey and felt great however it wasn’t long before I started cheating due to social factors. So I now am easing into the diet.

My diet looks somewhat like this:

06:15 breakfast
smoothy
   0,3 litre raw organic milk
   4 whole organic eggs
   teaspoon honey

tablespoon VCO  (in my climate its always solid)

9:30 snack
Apple
Avocado (addicted to them since my low carb experiments)

12:30 lunch
200-300 grams Raw organic semi-grassfed beef fatty cut
0,3 ltr raw organic milk
Some butter or vco

15:00
0,5 ltr Green vegetable smoothy with sprouts(50%)
Piece of raw cheese

~18:00 diner
Cooked meat or fish
Cooked vegetables / green smoothy
3 enzyme caps (they really work for me when eating cooked)

Suggestions are very welcome
