funkymonk:
Hi everyone, I've been peeking here and there in this forum for the last 6 months gathering info from advanced users and want to thanks them all for that! What a great open minded community.

I have been doing cooked paleo for the last 2 years with great health results. Then I kept feeling a little tired after eating a cooked meal and was already coming to this forum at that time. I decided to give it a shot and eat raw beef and suet. With some fall back on the 100% raw diet, I got used to it and did ok with the taste. Now that I have gone 100% raw, I feel cold pretty much all the time. While when I was cooking food I was Always hot. Is this detox? Have anyone else experienced that?

goodsamaritan:
Are you eating enough fat?

What is your typical daily meal composed of?

William:
I can feel hot when I eat too much.

TylerDurden:
When people are on a rawpalaeo diet for  a long period of time, they commonly  develop increased resistance to the cold. If you're just starting this diet, it's possible that you have a very weakened thyroid gland, causing increased intolerance to cold(and sometimes heat) -perhaps  dr ron's freeze-dried thyroid might be of help.

. Eating a diet very high in raw meat should warm you up(indeed, in the heat of summer, I often reduce my meat-intake and up my plant-food-intake).

What I used to do, in the early stages of this diet, when my circulation etc. wasn't at its best yet, was to drink hot water at ski-restaurants during heavy snowfall - they always offer such cups for tea and I'd just discard the tea-bag and drink the hot water on its own. Hot water has no heat-created toxins, AFAIK, so is fine.

Great, thank you all for your response.

I can't tell by weight or by calories but, by volume, I eat almost half my meal(grass fed beef) as fat (suet and marrow).

Hi ya William from Canada. Where are you from? I'm from a little town in Quebec.

I eat as much as I feel I need to be full. Would you suggest I eat more? Right now I eat 400gr of beef a day in 2 meals. I weight 130lb and I am not that active.

Would the thyroid weakness explain that when I was eating cooked, I was always hot? Here winter can be cold and I used to be the only one hot while others kept complaining about the cold. Regarding these weak gland issues Tyler I wanted to ask you if, they should heal just by nutrients found in the meat or, I would need to supplement with raw gland?

I will probably feel the same as you regarding the summer time. But my coldness was related to this time of year, and like you said, I am only starting so I'll just wait a little more and see.
