Hello everyone. I just joined this forum this morning. I have decided to switch to the raw paleo diet after many years of flip flopping back and forth between vegetarian lifestyle and I guess "regular" ways of eating. I find that I am slightly overweight a lot of the time and my skin is almost never clear. The only time I am at a weight I like and have clear skin is just after fasting or after doing the Master Cleanse. I am not interested in crash dieting or fad diets but I am looking for a way of eating that will become part of my lifestyle. I am looking for a more healthy way to live and I could never attempt a raw vegan diet because I know I love meat far too much. I am sure I will not have a problem with the raw aspect as far as vegetables go and I am a huge fan of beef carpaccio and steak tartare. While I know I can get those things at nice restaurants in my area I would like to be able to save some money and not eat at a french or Italian restaurant every meal. I live in the Miami Beach area and I don't know much about buying from butchers and I am not sure which types of meat to buy. I am also scared to try poultry raw because of salmonella poisoning. Can anyone recommend websites to order meat from? Also what about kosher butchers? There are a few around here so I have that option instead of buying from the local chain grocery store or Whole Foods. I have tried unpasteurized milk before and I am not sure I like that but I know calcium is important for women especially so do most people that eat raw take  vitamins/supplements? I welcome any suggestions and I also appreciate the fact that there is such a helpful forum for people considering this lifestyle.  Sorry about squeezing so many questions into one post...... Thanks!
