Inger, you have such a lovely body 8)
Tell me, what do you mean by high protein diet. I always make an effort to keep protein low and eat fat and some veggies for satiation. How much protein approximately contains a normal meal for you? Do you take the ACV for taste or for better digestion? And do you include eggs?  And Inger, since when do you eat so much nuts? I thought you where against it because of all the O 6 and the phytic acid and the mold problem etc

that's interesting, Van . Beef fat changes the taste for  me after ap. 1 week, so this time I put in in glas jars to keep it less exposed to air, do you think it will keep longer? Don't want to make 'high fat -d' so I will let the lid a bit open. Or should I vacuseel it, I have such a maschine somewhere. If not I"ll have to freeze it and to finally learn not to shop like a bulimic -v
I'm still in this cycle buying to much, eating to much, feeling very bad, making myself sick, strange I know :P
So brain will keep max 1 week I guess?

Hey folks,

I know this question came up here quite a lot. But still I'm not sure about it.
The thing is, often when I go to the butchers I buy way to much because all looks so good and then at home I see that it is too much to eat in one week or so (I like my meet very fresh) Then I start eating always to much because I don't want to throw it away and then I feel bad. Today I bought a big calf kidney, one whole calf spleen, 3 calf brains, 2 kg backfat, lots of bones with bone marrow, 2 lamb hearts, 6 Mackerel, till have a lot of lamb liver and wild rabbit in my fridge, uhhh that's so much and it was quite expensive. I already put some of the spleen in the freezer but often I don't like the frozen meet and fat. And it feels different. How long you gard meet and organs in the fridge? How long stays brain fresh in the fridge ? And kidney? What is worse; freezing or the  oxidation in the fridge?
By the way it was my first brain; strange thing but it tastes interesting, will eat always a bit to get used to it :)

Thank's a lot for your repay, Van.
Fermenting beef fat without oxidizing  it might be the problem, indeed -d;I don't like oxidized fat neither and me also I avoid frozen meet and fat more and more, it does not feel the same after being frozen.

How you consume your fat sounds very appealing, I will try to eat it like this without mixing it like I usually do in my biiiig salads with lots of meats and oils or avocado or coconut cream >D

do you eat meat with salads; veggies, are you low carb, ketogen?

I love your Idea about eating littel, not even to satiety; I'm a total overeater due to my long raw vegan underweight time. I have to adapt to the new situation that I'm wellnorished now, no need to overeat. I still make myself suffer every day because I eat tooo much and than I feel nauseous or very anxious or have stomach pain. That is so so so stupid  ???

General Discussion / digesting fat, culturing beef fat
« on: September 18, 2014, 08:38:11 pm »
Hi  :),

I was reading the thread about raw bone broth, what a nice idea :) and thought that it would be great to be able to ferment beef fat and perhaps even eggs . Beef fat gives me a lot of energy and is so relyable in keeping my weight up but I find it hard to digest, harder than any other fat( but I have difficulties with fat digestion in general). Fermented fats like raw kefir or fermented coconut  milk are soooo much more easy and pleasant to digest :P for me. are there any experiences, ideas about fermenting animal fat? And what do you guys do to make fat more easy to digest? 

57
Eveheart, could you please explain more in detail how you changed, what you did before and what you do now ?
You eat less fat but more carbs?
What kind of carbs, starches, raw or cooked.
Are your blood sugar readings better now?
How do you avoid blood sugar spikes?

58
Evehard, why did you start including more carb and resistant starches and do you feel better now?
What kind of carbs do you eat?

59
Yes, GS, real vit c in the form of fruits and veggetales should be enough.

Eavehart, eating in a 8 h window would be possible. I should stop eating early anyway, because I dont sleep very well.
I thought you are ZC, Eavehart, why do you take more carbs now and what kind of carbs, resistant starch?
Van, I know it was not healthy what I did but it did work like nothing else I ever tried.
I will eat now a lot less protein and more fat and veggies again. The fat I got from the bucher was back fat but still it is hard and sticky.
Today I got pankreas and fresh liver, kidneys,and heard . How long the liver stays fresh in the fridge, and kidneys, heard, pankreas. I dont want to freeze them and I got a lot.

60
Hi GS

good to talk with you again :)
I take vit C almost all day, in the form of Sodium Ascorbate or Hypo-Aller C, what kind of Vit C would you recommend.
High blood pressure, I don't know, before this experience my blood pressure was very low?
Intermittent fasting, does not feel right to me because my adrenals are totally exhausted and this could cause even more stress.
Also intermittent fasting, eating less, skipping meals always meant weight loss for me and I really really don't want to loose any of my hard gained body mass.
How do I know that my kidneys are overloaded and how can I cleanse them?
How much meat, fish protein would be to much for a woman like me?

General Discussion / gaining weight, circulation and saturated fat
« on: June 29, 2014, 08:20:15 pm »
Hi everyone,

it's a long time since I was here. I was ill, stopped paleo because I thought it was the reason,  tried loads of different diet ideas again like the ph diet, whole grain diet, cooked a lot tried fruitarianism, juicing etc. I lost a lot of weight on my way (and all my muscles), was totally emaciated. 36 kg for 1.65 m.
I couldn't gain the weight back till a friend of mine (Löwenherz :)) brought me back to paleo and showed me how to eat for weight gain. I started eating 1 to one and a half kg of hyper fatty meet (mostly beef), ca 200 g of fatty fish, with perhaps 200 to 300 g of butter with some egg yolks, raw goat cheese and  gelatin every day, took loads of digestive enzymes and probiotiques and glutamie, and 100 to 200 g of freshly made coconut cream. Almost no veggies and fruits, but a bit of green juice, some avocados. I gained almost 8 kg in 3 weeks but after it my belly hurted and felt very inflamed and I was totally tired (but soooo greatfull that I  looked like a human being again) .
Since then I calmed down, stopped the dairy because it gave me stomach inflammation, just take raw butter sometimes.
I still eat a lot of meat, some organs and a lot of fat. Yesterday night a blood vessel in my eye crashed. Also I get spiderveins again, the same problem I had when I first tried raw paleo. I would like to know the cause because I feel so good and strong with my new diet and don't want to dump everything again.
My thoughts about it are:
- it could be that I eat to much of this incredible saturated fat, this very chalky and dry beef and lamb fat witch sticks to the teet and tonge?
-could be that I eat to much red meet?
- not enough veggies?
-my body is to acidic with all that meat?
sometimes after I eat I take some peace of fatty meat with lots of collagen and fat on it and I chew on it for hours to calm me down (before I was a bit chewing gum addicted)
Perhaps this is not good because with that I have a constant supply of fat, proteins, collagen even after I eat?
This very hard beef fat I eat, a lot of people say that it is not good for health. It is so dense and sticky, I don't now if it is very digestable or digestable at all. Butter feels a lot softer in my mouth, but I don't now if it is better for digestion and health. Perhaps I will do more coconut now as I'm not so much under this weight gaining pressure any more (I never managed gaining weight with coconut a my staple fat)
But I still have so much of this hard beef fat in my fridge and it is so easy to get loads of it.
What are your experiences with hard beef fat?
Is there a way to make it more digestible? As an example mixing it with lecithin or ACV or berries or egg yolk or sauerkraut?
What could be the reason that my bloodvessels burst?
What can I do to prevent further damage, are there supplements to take.
Should I make more veggies, salads, green juices, teas?

Dear Iguana,

I just wrote a long response for you and lost it -X. Now it is late. You are one of my dearest friends, I admire how you manage your live. With instincto you are very healthy and your life is uncomplicated. When I was at your place practicing with you was fun. You have a lot of experience and everyting is easy. Your friends are instinctos or people who know what you do.
I live here in a total different environment. My body is not very healthy , the people around me are normal eaters, my husband has cancer and he totally dislikes all this raw fish, meat, shellfish thing, he is almost vegan. My daughter eats like the other kids. I have very littel time here for myself, always somebody behind me. Often it is more easy to me to mix some things together or make a salad, like that I m sort of sociable. Sometimes it is also soothing and warming to make a pate or smoothie, spice it up and warm it. Sometimes I don't what to chew any more.
When I follow my instincts I tend to overeat specially meat, fish, fruit and nuts. Fruit is very bad for me. I love eating all this but it is not good for my body, I feel it later when it is to late and then my body has to cope with it. That's why I prefer to decide what I eat with my intelect.

Hi evehard,

my doc is also homeopath, and he is into diet, but traditional, does not help l). My keton levels are very low despite my high fat diet. Perhaps I do not digest all the fat I ingest. My blood analyses I will post as soon as I have time. Do you have diabetes, evehard. Do you take your blood glucose?
There is this thing called muscular insulin resistance caused by a low carb diet and I do feel when I'm high fat my sugar response is even stronger. I don't like it. That's one reason why I still eat some carbs, (between 90  to 140 g a day)

Hi Ingerlise :-*

I don't have meat here at the moment, so high meat is not possible but I do fermented veggies. Going to the sea is really so healing and I'm going to be there more often. I started taking (very short) cold showers and this also feels good. EMF's are an issue here, thats sure. Do you know some devices to protect from the radiation, things that really work? Like special head sets or so. I will trike to make myself a grounding bed sheet. I thought about buying tissue with silver lining and to connect it over the sucked with the earth

Hi Jessy

sure my adrenals are burned out, but some exercise is very uplifting I feel it. If I'm not moving, being in the house the whole day with my sick husband, it is so sad, it scares me,it makes me so sick, nothing is moving in here.
I never made bone broth and I don't get grass fed bones here :P But seaweeds I could do, how do you make it. Cod liver oil I don't need, I eat so much fish, often also with the head and organs like inger thought us -d. How did you manage gaining weight Jessica? Do you watch your blood glucose.
One thing I wonder and it is so important.  Perhaps somebody knows the answer Can you gain weight without raising your blood sugar in a unhealthy way. Weight gain seems always associated with elevated blood  sugar.

cerymoya kid,

it is sort of difficult to write down what I eat. It changes every day. Often I m very stressed while eating because I have no time, have to care for the kids or because I m with others who eat normal and it really stresses me out.
The last days when I made my diabetes diet I wrote everything down on the chronometer, I managed to eat approximately 2300 kcal per day, I ate 3 times a day, veggies, fish seaweed and some sort of fat, normally avocados or cocosnus, often I put everything in the blender, put a lot of spices inside, eat it with lettuce, some chucrute and apple cider vinegar. With it I take Magnesium Citrat, vit C, Msm, Chromium, vit B supplement, Vit D 3, sometimes GABA. Sometimes I cook green beans or spinach, that's the only cooked food I eat at the moment. Sometimes raw egg yolk but it seems to give me diaree. Sometimes I use coconut oil or olive oil, it gives a lot of calories without raising my blood sugar and that feels so  good specially in the evening.
Sometimes I make raw choclate or raw treats with fat and nuts but I usally overeat and feel supersick after it.
Generally I feel that even 2000 kcal for me are to much. I takes so much energy to digest and does not seems to make me gain weight
cherymoya kid, do you eat instinctive?

tank's so much to everybody that you have take the time to answer to me. I was very touched when I read all the responses. Sometimes it takes days for me to answer because there is so much to read and to investigate and I have so littel time but your info's and thoughts are already working 8) I dint feel so lost any more.
Also I made a decision. I put the glucometer away and I'm not going to touch it til I have gained my weight bay. Diabetic diet and gaining weight, I don't know how it should work. I think I have to do the carbs, sugars even if it is unhealthy. I never gained without sugar, even if I love the concept. The last days I even stood up in the middle of the night and binged, I'm so scared by my incredible skinnines, I always feel I have to eat, always feel nauseous the whole day -[. I have to calm down now.
---ok now it is two days later because I could not finish the response. I feel totally sick, my sugar is much to high, I stuffed myself like crazy, I have to go back on low carbs :P


Hi Ron

yes it is very likely that I'm in a 0mega 3-6 imbalance. I eat so many avocados, lots of sellfish and fatty fish, like Herring and mackerel. I don't cook my protein, everything is raw except sometimes some veggies. I just looked into Rosedale, and I think I really like his program, this is more or less what I tried to do but how am I going to gain weight with  it?
Beef seems to make me very ill after a while, even the best grass fed beef. I do much better with wild food, but this is very difficult to get here. That's why I only eat wild fish at the moment. If I eat the food separate one after the other I tend to loos weight because I don't eat enough and also because it is so fast digested or I eat to much of one item and that can throw me out of balance as well. Iguana always tells me that as well. Good eggs are difficult to get here, at the moment I eat them anyway; I eat them with lemon juice to help digestion.

Barfootinstincto, thanks a lot for reminding me of the importance to exercise. I started doing rebounding and kettle belt swings and stuff and I already feel more alive. Going out when I think about suicide, that's a challenge. I'm sure it would be so right. My energy is going down constantly because my husband is so sick, he has cancer the second time and he is very weak and understandably is so negative and in a bad mood. I love him but it is hard to live in a hospital, this illness is everywhere.
Barfootinstincto, are you instincto, how does your diet looks like?

Hi all,

I'm super embarrassed and feel so much like a loser. I hardly  write in this forum any more because I am so depressed, I have no force any more and anyway there is nothing I can give to others, I have no answers, just questions, questions, questions.... I think about suicide all the time, it is just my daughter , I can not let her alone I think (not even sure if she wouldn't be better of  without me).

My body is falling apart. It feels spooky. I lost almost all my muscle, my weight is sooo low I'm like a scarecrow. 38 kg, 1,65m, my veins on my legs and arms are sticking out, I look so sick. I was at the beach today, I did not dare to undress myself.
For a couple of years I'm more or less superthin and It was always a big problem for me but now something else is happening. I lose all my muscles, even in my face???
I was so often ill the last years, then I found out by myself that I'm apparently diabetic. I did not want to go on medications and tried to solve the problem myself.
I stopped more and more the carbs. Cut out all sugary, starchy food, even carrots,
Also I stopped eating meat and meat fat because I always was very very ill after some time eating it.
So I tried with lots of fish and seafood and low carb veggies. My blood glucose was ok but I lost even more substance. I did more and more fat to up my calories. (I do not digest fat well)
At the moment fatty fish, avocados, coconut and sometimes macadamianuts, that are my fat sources. Olive oil and coconut oil I try sometimes but it feels strange. Sometimes egg yolk but it seems to cause inflammation. To digest all this fat I take apple cider  vinegar, sunflower lecithin, ginger, digestive enzymes and Creon, that's so ridiculous. After it I often have to take herbs and tinctures because I feel nauseous.
I take tonnes of other supplements and amino acids, also to calm me down and to help me sleep.
Since I started taking my blood glucose I'm even more scared of eating than I was before. Sometimes my glucose is superhigh just because I ate a kohlrabi or so with my meal. I eat almost no veggies any more, even to much onions and paprika give me spikes. But I love vegetables. I can not eat to much protein neither. Just avocados, coconut, I eat so much of it that I feel sick but I don't gain any weight or muscle mass.
My doc always tells me I have to eat glucose with protein to get stronger, sugar opens the cell for the protein, but sugar I can not do because of this diabetes condition, a ideology also told me I have pancreas insufficiency.
I don't now what to do with the situation any more, everything seems to be poisonous, even low carb veggies I can not enjoy any more. Low carb is very difficult without meat fat and butter and I doubt that it is very healthy. I also feel that I'm even more carb sensitive with all this fat in my body???
I feel so tired, I only want to live a simple and peaceful live, I want to know what to do to get out of this rollercoaster of sickness, blood sugar spikes, inflammation, nausea, depression, insomnia and underweight etc.

So negative what I wrote :P
but anyway something has to happen. This forum is the only place where I find people like me. Other elephants ;)

oh my god, this is so frightening.
I just took my BG and it was 213  1/2 hour after dinner.
I had 3 huge salads today, lots of lettuce with onions, fennel, cabbage, carrots, leek, garlic, lemon with the peel and kohlrabi, with every salad ca 200 gr of Fish and Clams and lots of olive and cocosoel on top.
I felt so great and my belly is calm but BG is totally high.
It was the same last week with lots of macadamianuts and coconutoil and fatty fish and veggies. My Bg in the evening was 240 and in the morning still 130.
After it I cut out all fat and managed to stay under 110 all the time. Had lots of veggies, the green ones mainly, raw and cooked, with fatty fish in every meal.
I don't understand it??????????
Adora, what is going on here?
Sorry I don't want to change the subject here,  l) Please help. I don't want to caramelise -[
Suiren, do you ever took your BG? I started now and I'm totally amazed. Might be the reason why I have such an issue gaining weight.

Are you still experiencing hair loss right now?

Yes I'm still loosing some hair I think -\
I don't eat so much coconut any more.
The hair loss might be caused by my extremely low weight.
My hormones are quite low, having Amenorrea for some time.
I change my diet every other day, I feel a bit lost.
Nothing seems to work. I always have to fight not to loose even more weight.
For some days now I tried low fat, moderate protein, high carb because I had so much inflammation in my body  quite dangerous, and it did not stop.
But with all this carbs I have blood sugar probems, I'm bloated, have water retention and I'm always hungry :P
Today I tried just huge salads with lots of fish and oil. Oliveoil and Coconutoil and lots of spices.
Feel better like this.

Jesica, where can I find your post about low carb, keto you mentioned.
Can I go keto with fat manly from fatty fish, olive oil and coconut oil?
I have some problems with beef and wild boar fat (ever the highest quality) it always made me very thick after some time. I can not do a lot of eggs, gives me inflammation.
I thought I can be low carb because of this problems but carb based I can not live neither because I'm supercarbsensitive, diabetic I think

70
Me also I lost a lot of hair :P. Realized it some weeks ago. Never had thin hair, never lost hair visible. Now I see my hair all over the place, on my coat and shirts????
I'm more or less raw for some years now, had never a problem with it. I thought it might be too much selenium. Coconut has a lot of it and I ate so much coconut all year. one coconut more or less  per day.
Also I  am very much on a seafood diet, eating loads of seafood everyday, also fish-eggs, clams, fishheads, things like this superhigh in selenium.
Or is it the low carb thing I try again and again and fail.
Everytime I go low carb it makes me thick and I lose a lot of musclemass.
It seems that my body is not able to thrive on low carb.

Health / stomac acid
« on: August 20, 2012, 04:43:52 am »
Hi all,

I have a super important question for you. l)
I had loads of health problems during the last years.
I realise now that it was all caused by my digestive system not working properly. I definitely produce not enough stomach acid, not enough bile and not enough enzymes in my pancreas.  So now I just have to build up my digestions force and than I will be totally healthy again ;D.
Today I started already, I ate everyting mono, took bitter herbs and ginger before and after meal and sipped a bit of apple cider vinegar diluted or lemon juice with it. I feel good now and I'm in a good mood. Normally at this time I feel so sick, nausea, vertigo, and I have this strange fear which goes from my belly to my heart and I'm so very scared. Sounds totally strange I know -\.
Anyway Acid really seems to be a key for me. As soon as I add acid to my food it digest sooo easy. Normally I always fell as if  I have eaten stones after a meal and I am sooo nauseous. I have a hard time getting some Cal every day and I'm seriously scared of eating.
The problem is that I'm already demineralised and my nathuropath told me I should take no acid at all ever (and no fruit, but this is not a big problem) I know also that acid can harm me because one year ago I consumed acid regularly in the form of lemon to help me digest and grapefruit I took in the morning. After I while I recognised that the tips of my front teeth became transparent and I stopped the acid. I also have slight osteoporosis because of my low body weight.
Now I don't know what to do. Acid helps me so much but I'm scared of taking it and causing a  new problem. Bitters of course help a lot but I did not get the same results from them jet.
What about Betain HCL, is it acidifying as well? I didn't find any info about HCL and acidity so far.
What do you do to help your digestion, your stomach, liver, pancreas?
Is there such a thing like a paleo protokol to heal  the digestiv system and to make it strong again?
My nathuropath told me to eat only white rice and ghee for a while but, seriously -v -X :o?????????

So, now I really know what does not work for me -d.
Came home from swimming, already nauseous and stuffed myself with
2 Apples -v
loads of dried buckwheat sprouts soaked in re-hydrated spirulina -v
two  egg yolks
I feel supersick and depressed now. I know what I do is ridiculous but I'm already in the sugar madness. Have to stop it. It makes me sick, depressed, week and cold. I know I need proteins and fat, I feel so clean every time when I'm there. And some veggiejuice perhaps but not necessary ;D
But there are some problems I have to sort out.
-My fat digestion is not so strong yet
-I have not so many good fats available, would be more easy with butter
-I'm scared to eat to much meat, was so oft sick when I enjoyed a lot of it.
-coconut oil could help but I read it is a dead product, that turns me of.
- I allways lost weight on LC or VLC
- egg yolk might also cause trouble for me.

tomorrow I'm going to restart low carb, with very little eggs, lots of fish because I have no meat at the moment, earliest Wednesday.
Than I will be happy again.
But how to gain weight with it? any ideas?

and also I will have to let go of spirulina, I like the taste but it makes the skin around my mouth and in my hands orange, like loads of veggies do it as well. Don't like this orange look -d
I hope I can sleep after this binge. Took already homeopathic remedies. When I start taking a lot of nathuropathic and homeopathic remedies to survive I know that I'm very much on the wrong track
