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)...

Hello raw-paleo world.

I'm a middle-aged French guy, living in southern France.

I'm on a raw-food diet since more than 2 decades, including animal products (mainly meat, and fish, seashells, eggs). 99% raw.
I'm close to "instincto" or sensorial raw diet : I know well the theory, and rather well the practice.
I spent time with the people practising it, from France (mainly), but also Belgium, Luxemburg, Switzerland, and some from Germany too.
I met a few French primal dieters also.

I am/was interested in other models such as (raw) paleo, keto (HFLC), primal diet, etc. But also fruit-based and HCLF diets.
I used to read this forum (as a lurker), long time ago (more than 5 years).

I come (back) here with the intent to
1/ exceptionnally answer a question about Iguana ;
2/ mainly exchange ideas and infos with you, in order to improve my diet and health.

In fact, my health weakened progressively since a bit more than 10 years, and notably these last years, particularly after a probably Covid-19 illness during the summer in 2021... I had for two years some heavy chronique fatigue and metabolism problems : unability to digest fat, problems with sweet fruits too, etc.
I'm a bit better now, but not completely healed.

So I need to, and will, make some changes to my diet in the near future, either small tweakings or maybe radical changes.

Looking forward to exchange with you guys...
