I believe the main problem was the large amount of milk combined with the lack of exercise.c. 500g to a kilo of raw meat/raw fat a day. I also developed severe hunger-pangs which were never sated by eating any raw animal food, after c. 2 weeks, so that I started wolfing down larger amounts per day. The hunger-pangs disappeared instantly after I switched to also eating raw plant foods as well. Switching to raw plant foods caused a few issues at first, as I found it difficult to digest them, no doubt due to the fact that I lacked the necessary bacteria and enzymes to properly digest raw plant foods due to my RZC experiment.
How much did you eat and drink? I've noticed both excess protein and fat can lead to problems, more so in the case of protein. And did you use any salt?
Could you name the main raw plant foods that you eat?Currently, nothing much varied:- bananas, blueberries/raspberries, avocadoes, watermelons, oranges, garlic, radishes, wild garlic leaves. Sometimes raw brazil nuts. That sort of thing.
I'm guessing you didn't eat enough fat. ( especially if you relied on expensive marrow bones for fat ) I recently cut back on my meat consumption and increased fat. So easy to think we need large portions of meat when reading other's accounts. Also for the last two weeks have cut out salt. No longer have problems with water not quenching my thirst. At first everything was bland. But after a few days the taste buds reignited. Feel much lighter as a result.If you mean me, I did actually have very good, regular sources of raw fat at the time. Mostly I ate raw tongue and raw marrow, and also raw eggs, at the time, so, presumably, my fat-intake in calories must have been extremely high. I miss the grassfsed marrow, as the marrow bones I buy now in Austria, are not 100% grassfed and selected mainly for dogs who don't mind marrow-bones with not much fat in them. I do admit I ate quite a lot at the time, especially when I started getting those insatiable hunger-pangs, so I think the excess protein, even if accompanied by fat, might have been the problem. But who knows?
One experiment you can try is to catch your urine and look for sediment, which in my case appeared to be uric acid crystals, as a resultant from excess protein. Let it sit for a few hours to see what settles.
I ate raw grassfed ox tongues/hearts/livers/kidneys plus some raw marrow, raw wild hare carcasses and raw eggs from geese/ducks/chickens(mostly free-range) , plus raw wildcaught
Interesting. What did you eat on Raw Zero Carb? Do you still eat the same but with some plant foods added in now?
Pre-RPD diet I basically had a slow-acting food-intolerance towards raw and pasteurised dairy. This slowly led to massive inflammation throughout my body so that pretty much every body=part was failing by the time of puberty. Just to list a few symptoms:- chronic fatigue and insomnia, loosened teeth, inflamed skin, more serious body-odour than is normal despite frequent washing, slowed thinking, acute anxiety, some brain-damage, extreme pain in the stomach after eating any cooked animal foods, confusion and many others I have since forgotten.
What were your health problems, Tyler?
