Welcoming Committee / New to Raw Paleo
« on: November 10, 2011, 01:09:23 am »
Hi I'm 26 and have been lurking here for a while, trying to figure out how to go about this diet.  I started CrossFit two years ago, and started on the Paleo diet with everyone at my gym, hoping for more energy. I eventually tried the raw foods diet after listening to some guru go on about the evils of meat.  Have since switched back to Paleo when it made me feel even worse, and have recently found this forum on raw paleo.
I have started incorporating raw meat and eggs into my diet.  A few raw eggs in the morning, raw grass fed beef at lunch and some raw salmon and tuna at dinner.
Had to grill up some onions to put on the raw beef to get it down the first time, but now I really like it.
The problem is the strong negative reactions from my family ( I just moved back in with my mother and younger sister). They go on and on about bacteria and diseases.   And also I do not have a very strong will power and am afraid all their crap food around the house will temp me too much and I won't be able to commit to this.
Also I don't know much about meat cuts and fat.  I've tried googling grass fed beef but nothing local comes up.  I wouldn't really know what to ask for if I did find someone.  It's getting WAY too expensive to buy it piece by piece at the local grocery store.   
Also I hate vegetables raw, only like them cooked.  How do I go about changing that?  Any special recipes or additions I can add to make those more palatable?

I've noticed I already have more energy. Most days  I just want to go to bed after work, but I have been full of energy lately and can't wait to hit up the gym again now, and I want this to continue.  But I'm a little afraid it's going to get difficult to maintain.
I ate regular store bought meat on Paleo and that was fine, but I don't want to eat that stuff raw.  Tips on finding a local grass fed buyer and what to ask for?
