There are multiple factors to consider; if you are able to obtain the optimal ingredients for home made raw dairy formula like recommended by AV, then weaning off breast milk earlier would be an option.

Even if your diet isn’t optimal, the alternatives to breast milk are usually not either. If you could wean the baby onto healthier foods than you regularly eat then weaning earlier makes sense. Much of it depends on how you plan on feeding the baby.

Your breast milk, even if not produced from an ideal diet, will still help the child to adapt to a world in which very few people live that idealistic lifestyle. So a combination of your breast milk with quality raw foods until around age three would be a good compromise.

Parenting / Re: Until what age should one breastfeed if the mother doesn´t eat healthy

Even if the mother's diet isn't ideal?  I don't eat a raw food diet and I eat junk food sometimes.  But I do my best to make sure my baby doesn't eat anything processed or junk like that.  However I still breastfeed her and I worry that the junk food in my diet might affect her.

Parenting / Re: What are the ideal foods to introduce after lactation

I agree about the suggestions sucking!  The very first food I ever gave my baby was the runny egg yolk from my backyard chickens at like 4 or 5 months old.  Second food I believe was avocado.  I forget what was next after that, I think my husband let her chew on some of his fruit, but she started eating beef and chicken very soon after as well.

Hot Topics / Use for the soft bones after making bone broth?
« Last post by Wolf on December 05, 2024, 09:44:25 am »
I just made some turkey bone broth and afterwards the bones were soft enough to just mush with my fingers.. is there anything I can do with them?  I'm not sure if I can just eat them outright since they're cooked and probably made of mainly calcium now anyways right?  So should I just throw them out or is there something more useful I can do with them?

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 !

There is no problem with breastfeeding for too long. Many cultures won’t wean until past 3. There is a consensus of around two years to be optimal. My girlfriend wasn’t weaned until 4 years old and she has the best overall health of anyone I have known.

Carnivorous / Zero Carb Approach / Re: Which meat is it ok to eat raw?

Hello Lucie.

This is an old thread but I am interested to read the paper in which is described the study you cite in your comment. Would you have a link for getting or reading this paper?
You will hardly get any paper about these experiences (if they ever took place), because if the cited "AV" is Aajonus Vonderplanitz (official name : John Richard Swigart), he was not a scientist, just a self-declared nutritionist (with no academic background)...

Personals / Re: What happened to Iguana?

He hasn't been active since February 2022, so 2.5 years.
Hello dariorpl.

The short answer is : he died that year.
I'm still trying to find more details, such as the date or the cause of his death (some blood problem ?)...

I barely knew him : I never met him ; I discussed with him several times by email, and once by phone, more than 8 years ago.
I know a few people who met him (some of them spent some time with him in Portugal), and one or two who were friends with him.

I'll keep you informed when I'll get more infos.
Sorry for those who appreciated him.
