Sully, I'm kinda the opposite to you in that fish tastes good and makes me feel good most of the time and red meat doesn't appeal at all most of the time. I guess that's an Instincto kind of thing.

Citrus - thanks so much for that link again. What a magnificent person and place. If only all fish were produced like that!

Haha, yeah I guess we have different instincts. I must say though, as far as taste, fresh raw wild albacore tuna is pretty good to me. I only got it fresh on the west coast on a trip once. I do like picked herring a lot too. But it's seasoned and soaked/aged in vinegar.

yeah like many had mentioned you can find it at many health foodstores without preservatives.

When I was in Jordan, figs and grapes dried naturally in the arid climate. The grapes were of good quality with seeds though. Dried figs are not addictive to me

But with cooked meat, I prefer it rare raw in the center aka juicy goodness. Well done meat is just dry and nasty to me. Needs a fresh tomato on it with some lettuce to give it some juiciness hah

I am going to feast on some cooked Turkey tomorrow. Indeed, feasting with family. Anyone else going off the usual menu for tomorrow dinner? Just cooked Turkey for me though, not going too far off. Just over cooked paleo haha.

@Inger
Oh man I have to try that Cempedac. I don like the fact it's not local of course haha. But durian and jackfruit didn't give me any problems besides stinking up my house haha. And I have a good stop signal with them. I don't mind the smell, but others in my house do haha

So the cempedac is wild? Jackfruit too?

Aren't there domesticated varieties?

Saw it frozen at the Asian store. Never tried it so I gave it a go, along with some goat meat I never tried. The goat meat was good. Had some skin on it, lots of bones. The Jackfruit was ok. I am not the biggest fan of it though. I like durian much more. I don't think I would ever buy it again besides that first try. Def has a strong stop signal with me. I guess that's good. I know some people boil it. Not sure If my frozen one was boiled or raw.

Anyone have some experience to share on these two foods I tried?
The goat reminded me of Mutton,, adult sheep. Gamy goodness

@rawzi Yeah, I am not sure. He might have been one of those cases. I know there was some trouble, I think he was blood type B negative. While sister is blood type O positive. Something along the lines of that. I will ask my sister next time I talk with her. And yeah, I am really really really happy he made it. He is 5, turning six now. So the trouble was long ago. Him and I are very close, we always play together and I teach him martial arts. I have lots of mixed siblings too, two are half Mexican, two are half African, I am half Arabic. One is part Native American.

@Inger Yes, you look very young. And if you feel young too, you are doing the right thing And thanks, I think I need to move to Finland now! haha

Ah nice, we may have some close bloodline then. On my moms side some have blue eyes and lighter hair. One of my uncles had light brown hair and blue eyes. Although, even on my dad's Arabian side, some have greenish eyes.
But me too, I feel better on a heavy meat diet.

Yeah I think that might be true to some extent. Most pure breed dogs have problems due to severe inbreeding. Like German Shepherds can have bad hips. And dalmatian's common blindness or deafness.

But it still can be better to stay somewhat close to genetics. For example; Wolves breed with Wolves who live and do well in the local area. Now If you take a wild dog from South America and put it in Yellow Stone National Park with a pack of wild wolves. It might not make it in natural circumstances, or even be accepted by the pack. But who knows, it may bring in useful adaptations to help the next generations. So it all depends.

@zeno Well today I had a few crab apples after training. Kind of bitter, but sweet. About the size of a large grape. I am not that fond of them. Then I had one lime before the meat I ate, cause the crab apples made me crave something sour haha.

But as far as meat, I eat fattier meat. I just go with what my body is hungry for fat. Which is usually 65% of my calories from fat. Which is 85/15 by weight. Depends on weather too, sometimes in cooler weather my fat intake goes up. But I am assuming 65%-70% from fat is my average.

Today I had a little more than 1lb of grass fed ground beef. I might meat more later. I hate that it has no chew. So I seared it on both sides giving some chew to it.  Raw in the center. I usually don't do this with whole meat because of course it has the chew to it.

When I eat whole lean meat, I prefer back fat over suet with it. I get backfat from the market, I just ran out. I take a big chunk of fat and cut pieces, and take some meat, then some fat, then some meat. I don't eat one before the other. I just mix is up naturally. And eat sometimes a chunk of fat with meat at the same time haha

So that's what I been eating, 1-2lbs of fatty meat a day. With some organs, or semi sweet fruit or veggies. I been going to the market for beef and food lately. If I have no time, i go to the health food store by my work for local grass fed beef. Which is what I ate today. Probably going to the market tomorrow.

what is genetic testing?
I would love to know my blood line as well. I known for sure that I have French, Spanish ,Portuguese, Indian and African blood.  do you have any thought about interbreeding? is it a good or bad think?

I think in short term it can be either good or bad depending on the situation. A pure African person mating with a pure European person can cause some troubles. Even with just different blood types. Happened with my nephew having a different blood type than my sister (his mom). Causes some troubles. He is older and healthy now. A mixed person back in paleo times might do ok in Africa and ok In Europe. But not do as well as a full breed person native to the region. African bushman are not the best suited for the arctic especially just using animal skins. Nor are Eskimos best suited on an African Savana/desert. Now a days we have modern houses and other things that climate doesn't matter as much.

Is the texture of suet the same as beef back fat? i've heard its waxy, is that true?

Back fat is much better. In my opinion for taste. I prefer it over marrow even. Suet is dry, I had delicious lamb suet before though. And good bison suet. But prefer back fat over good suet.

@rawzi Yeah I used some acne stuff too once and it failed of course. You know, I would like to actually make  website about acne. Or on my wild foods website. List things that healed on me when I change my diet. Kind of like goodsmaritan/Edwin and how he cured eczema. http://www.curemanual.com/

@Inger It's nice you feel the same regarding food Elk? mmm. Elk is delicious! I had me some whitetail deer steak recently. My friend has some more free venison for me waiting in the freezer! Wild foods..... taste better in my honest opinion, and heal my body. BTW, Your looking amazing Inger! You must be around my age ay? hahahah

@miles hahaha. Man we are 2 of the same hahhaha I thought you were joking when you said you didn't see a mistake. Can never tell with your sense of humor mayn!

Yeah definitely Lex, a few days ago I went out to eat with a friend I haven't seen in a while. Was a Chinese buffet we chose. He knows how I eat hah. They had some salmon and other fish in butter and oysters, and crayfish ( I lucked out haha) I don't mind a rare steak or salmon in butter, to eat with some friends/family once in a while.

I would imagine you bring rendered fat or pemmican with you on trips. I guess eating out is another story though.

Nice website!

Sully, how many carbs do you eat nowadays? If I remember correctly you followed a zc diet in the past (?).

Löwenherz

Hey there thanks! , yeah I tried it out a few times (not for too long though). I don't eat much carbs sometimes however. I kind of do only animal foods off and on lately. Today and yesterday I just ate meat/organs and fat, I was hungry today at work (no red meat with me, my staple food,) so I got some canned salmon ( had skin and bones, gave me a headache, dry, too much salt, over cooked too of course haah). I noticed sometimes chicken does that. Red meat is my go to food. Never eat white meat unless i have too.  just do so much better with red meat haha I noticed I do pretty well with sour apples, berries etc for fruit.  Came home and ate some beef though with some lime squirted on it, feel much better actually now after the beef an lime haha I noticed I crave sour sometimes, not sweet things. What's behind this  sour craving?


yeah rawzi, I have been trying to update it a bit. Let me know if you have any ideas.
