The reason why I tried diet was because of severe cystic acne, which began clearing straight away. I didn't notice any side effects because I wasn't looking or focusing on them, the mirror was my guide. IMO many people probably imagine side effects to some degree. What should I even have been looking out for? What does 'feeling bad' mean? When I ate a typical teenager diet I never felt 'bad' and was very rarely sick as in being confined to a bed but despite this obviously had some severe health issues.

just eat the damn stuff man

my freezer is in the garage...there is a bit of a petrol smell in the garage but inside the freezer it should be ok correct?

I have talked to someone form a farm and am looking to place an order. They can supply me with grass fed suet, marrow bones and organ meats which is what I'm looking for, but I'm not sure about the quantity I should order? How many kilograms of suet would you use per month, and how much do you order from the farmers each time?

Birth control pills are harmful drugs.  There are other ways and means.

Like what? Condoms make sex worse. Wouldn't really want to use them unless you're worried about STDs.

Pulling out seems a bit risky as well.

yeah not paleo, but what if we want sex but not kids

I ate melons today and had a bit of the burping - not bad but on zero carb I just have no gas, no acidic feel, feel like I haven't eaten feel very light etc.

I was trying to eat more fruit since I thought its possible I could be missing some vitamins. It's known that meat has all the nutrients needed. Some of the nutrients it has in only small amounts but that is all that is needed by the body. However junk food particularly refined carbohydrates deplete the body of nutrients so eating nothing but meat you obtain everything you need, but add nutrient deficient carbohydrates and suddenly you lose some of the nutrition from the meat and find yourself lacking nutrients.

Now of course I don't want to eat junk food and the such but I'm 21 years old with somewhat ( ) of a social life so every now and then find myself with no choice really but to indulge in crap. When I first started the raw zero carb some months ago I was very strict and nothing to complain about (couldn't make my gums bleed if I tried) but after eating out a bit more even though eating a lot of raw meat have found my gums bleeding on occasion, vertical ridges on my fingernails. and hair shedding. Who knows if adding fruit will only make these problems worse.

Problems could be stress related as well. I put myself under a lot of metal stress.

I don't eat fruit that often but when I do sometimes I get that feeling where you burp and then the back of your throat is burning. How to stop this? which fruits to avoid? One option is to just not eat fruit since I have done zero carb before but am trying to add some more fruit to my diet as an experiment.

Most of the people I know who eat SAD-type diet eat fast-food which is very fatty indeed(eg:- fatty bacon in a typical english breakfast,fatty lamb meat in kebabs etc.). It's only the vegetarian-leaning types who prefer cutting off the fat and being hyper-keen on lean.

But dude when these people drop the carbs and make their entire diet cooked fat, eaitng heaps of cheese, butter, cooked grain beef, bacon and eggs etc their health improves (relatively). No study exists where people's health has got worse from going low carb on those foods.

The mainstream push that 'red meat' is bad - that's it (if this is considered a consensus then how can you eat raw food? The 'consensus' is that raw meat will kill you immediately). There are hundreds of articles released about the dangers of red meat, however these are NEVER backed by controlled studies only very arbitrary observations. All controlled studies fully support that cooked low carb is superior to any other type of cooked diet.

It's obvious to me raw meat grosses out this man and he tries to justify cooking inspite of all evidence because he wants to cook.

Meat doesn't actually start out red, it's more of a mixture of purple/red/brown depending on the animal and cut. The meat turning red happens when exposed to the air, then after more exposure it begins to turn brown and rot. The darker parts just haven't been exposed to air. I leave my meats out to come to room temperature before eating and they go red. When buying vacuum packed steaks as soon as you open the package the steaks are brownish, but 15 minutes after opened are red. In a few more days will be brown again. Fine to eat either way.

"I'm not buying into the whole hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine preventing scurvy thing. How come carnivores aren't included in lists of animals that don't synthesize vitamin c? Who eats more raw collagen than a carnivore? How come carnivores make vitamin c?

Carnivores which produce vitamin C can develop scurvy if fed carb/grain filled low fat diets so clearly vitamin C alone will not prevent scurvy entirely. Scurvy is common for dogs, less common for cats.

we aren't more evolved monkeys, we may share a common ancestor but have evolved on different paths so the diets of monkeys isn't too important imo.

Regarding the monkeys suffering diabetes and cancer but not CAD, i'm going to just speculate that they did show some signs of CAD they just either didn't die from a heart attack or the researchers just couldn't tell.
