Hello JJ.
Sorry for the answer delay ! I was quite busy.
(I hope to be able to check this forum at least once a week.)
I feel delighted to see your post ! I also live in France (in Rambouillet, near Paris).
Then I suggest that you update your request in
that other thread.
(I hesitated to answer, due to your mentioned location. I would have done it, after a while, in any case.)
I have been eating raw meat for 5 years and would love to connect with like-minded people who understand the point of eating raw animal foods !
Well, that's understandable !
Would you like to meet some time?
Sure, but I very rarely go to Paris area. If I would, then I'll keep you informed.
Or do you know anyone interested in raw foods in Paris region by any chance?
Not directly, but I know a guy living there that could help you connect to some people (but they're probably old)...
Oh wait, 2 former friends of mine just installed there. So I will ask them. Please send me your coordinates by PM.
Have you tried to look at the French primal diet, or keto/carnivore groups/forums, on FB for examples ?
The (French) primal dieters eat raw meat. Among keto/carnivore folks, it looks rarer.
BTW, last week I stumbled upon
a video by the (in)famous Sverige/Goatis, where he explains why raw meat is better than cooked.
Regarding your health, what are you eating these days precisely ?
Well, since 10 days I'm giving a try to pure (raw) carnivore diet... but failing to practice it rigorously !
(I understand, while writing now, that I should keep a journal.)
I eat lots of (salted) fatty beef meat (either once, twice or thrice a day ; generally twice a day).
I was able to eat only (salted) fatty meat (and nothing else) for one day or two in a row, not more.
Then some fruits, mainly oranges and clementines again (in addition to fatty meat).
Then again just meat... and fruits (+meat)... and just meat... and fruits/honey+meat...
So I'm not yet in ketogenic state. I wonder if I'll be able to switch completely... I hope so, because I'd like to give it a try !
But I'm not yet well organized for that. I would need a dedicated fridge.
And to go to the mountains buy some high-quality meat. (I know a good butcher and cattle raiser, but far away.)
Also, my preferred local butcher (who sells good-quality beef) had a shortage of fatty beef meat last Saturday, so I ate only fruits for one day and a half, and then I had to go to an hypermarket to find some beef meat. (I hope I'm not poisoning myself, eating that !)
BTW, I got sick (sinusitis) on Sunday, after a long walk with a friend on Saturday. Probably not the famous "keto flu", as I'm not yet in that state.
This kind of symptoms, a "detox", could be either the sign of a good cleaning thanks to the great amount of meat/fat, or the sign of an intox because the quality is not perfect... always difficult to say !
