Hej Inger! Förlåt mitt sena svar! Har haft lite fullt upp med skolstart, familjeförkylningar (Not me), tentor å annat.

I've been around here but never seem to have the time to answer or debate. I don't really have the time now either, have so much to do; writing papers, finish midterm exams etc. I study theology right now so it's kind of heavy 

About my diet; I did stray a little, my own fault...but at least now people around me can see that I'm not joking or trying to be special; I do get sick on traditional swedish cooking, intolerant to sukralos, fenylanalin, aspartame, white bread, sugary fruits etc. They are so thrilled about the effects when I stay raw paleo. But, one funny thing though; my brain(memory, etc) need fruit....I had to do some experiments and yes. I function much better with some fruits, berries and leafy greens. So I make these compromises. I make green smoothies with local, seasoned fruits and berries except for a occacional banana and greens, not every day, just a couple of times per week, and also. On a mainly fatty meat diet my dandruff actually came back (bakslag...)!! But it goes away cutting back on that and with having some fresh fruit produce etc. It's so weird. I have to be extremly careful concerning my dental health though, have to keep watch for how much fruits I can tolerate. The body is a strange creation...

I'm 46 now and feel grateful for not having a singel wrinkle! Wow!

Okej, have to go now! Talk to you soon, Inger. Love and Peace from Sweden!

Wow; she is really beautiful! That is true beauty 
I recall when first trying raw food as a big part of my diet, I figured how logical it is and I also had some thoughts on why we haven't been taught about this, us modern westerns etc. When I discuss this matter with people, they react in a very strange way.

1. They don't know that there are still tribes out there eating the natural way, free from gluten, chemicals etc
2. They still claim that one need a little diet coke, toast, pastry to enjoy life truly (wow, I love that part - I reply by telling them that a serving of raw, wild caught salmon is my big treat,  )
3. That it is the most sutainable way for the enviroment to eat RAW; as much we can. Even on paleo; if you cook it and make use of energy (your stove etc) you affect the planets whole well being.

All I can say is; her people, their way of living will be an important knowledge for all mankind in a near future or else we will starv and perish to death. They know how to survive AND thrive, in the long,long run.
We cannot spread litter around us - we have to walk gently on earth and make no marks on it or we will suffer bad hunters luck and the wrath of our Creator (JAHVÉ, or whom you believe in) 

Luckily, I'm married and my family are used to me having odd ideas and practice them 

I also stopped being concered about what people might think of me, I always explaine that it is vital to my health to eat this way and if I stray; I get sick. Some people then think that it's in my imagination and I respond by giving them support from heavy scientific research, medical reports etc and always look them straight in their eye and also telling them that MY health is more important than some airy ideas about nutrition, diet soft drinks, crap food and additives etc. I know it sounds harsh but my family; cousins, aunts never think of ones personal wealth, only whats best out of tradition and what people might think of you, doing acting different. I do smile while talking with them but I've learnd to never back off. I've done that so many times before and for what? They never thank you for it or will make better friends with you...sorry guys, I KNOW it sounds awful, but again, sometimes you just cannot compromise...for whatever reason. I was given this insight for a reason and I will stick to it, no matter what my family says. My dear husband (yes, he is a darlin'!) told me to stop eat this way because it is to expensive. I replied, telling him what's better; a high medical bill, constant pain and mental brake down...and besides. Not all grass fed meat are that expensive. ONe HAS to look for it. More, I never eat crappy fast foods, drink beer, coke, strange imported juice, cheap sprayed fruits or berries, just some eggs, meat, fats, butters...and never grows tired of it... I live life as ment to be......

Hi everyone! Love to be here, love to have an opportunity to reflect, ask questions and make raw friends!

I'm not all new to this, but have never found concept so completely logic...simply love this way of eating and thriving even though I miss bakin' and cookin' from time to time. But the benefits over shadows it all. I really hope that all of us here at the forum; may keep up the good work and find time and strength to help our fellow man and planet for a healthy healing and living; long term.

My status is alsmost as good as I wished for, but I did have some trouble stayng raw paleo this summer. No understanding from friends and family but I'm sure that will change over time; seeing my health improvals and all.

As long as I stay 100% raw paleo, I feel totally great! I'v never felt so blessed in my whole life. I actually recall how I always felt drawn to play outside and pretend I was a caveman/woman and drove my siblings nuts picking leaves, building stone age 'houses' etc. All that was missing was the hunting part! 

I have tried other diets with some great results - in the short run and unfortunately sticked to the diet and just couldn't understand why I kept loosing teeth....I'll tell you more about that some other time. All I can say is; the more FAT I eat, the better my teeth and gums are doing and the more raw meat I eat; the better it is for my joints, skin, weight and mind
