I asked this question a while back too.

I cut my meat into small strips and seal them in single serve pouches with my vacuum sealer. It is VERY convenient and doesn't skeeve out anyone else.  I recently left a sirloin steak on a stainless steel plate in the fridge for a week. I don't like the texture as much as it gets dry but it didn't really bother me. There was NO SMELL! I was shocked.  Supermarket meat always smelled to me. I have had my nose in good grassfed beef and smell nothing. Otherwise I would freeze it. It shouldn't get high in the fridge though.

I know Iguana. I just can't leave it alone at this point. I'm using the Cronometer to get the nutrition data. I have a tendency to overeat so I need to track it for now but not forever. I maintain my weight really well, so I suspect that when i reach my ideal weight it won't be a problem for me to instinctively eat to maintain, but losing seems to be a completely different thing for me.

We all seem to have different degrees of authenticity when it comes to being a caveman.   I am trying to eat more raw and unseasoned foods which is easy when you get away from veggies. They are not as palatable raw.

Low-carb doesn't mean no carbs.
50-70 g while losing weight is a good amount.

hmm. yes I am too high then. Today's count came in at 130 carbs and 1300 calories. So good calorie wise but not so good carb wise.. Should I swap some of the fruit for low carb options?

I fell off the wagon today. I was fighting it from the moment I woke up. For the first time since I started I was craving sugar and carbs etc. all day to the point of discomfort. I couldn't figure out why, but I eventually indulged myself in mexican food with beans, tortillas and cheese etc. I of course feel really guilty now, but I mostly want to figure out what could be causing it.

The only thing I can think of is not enough fat? I ate raw beef for lunch and still didn't feel satisfied like I normally do, maybe I need more beef/fat? I have been craving cooked bacon badly...for the fat content maybe? I am trying to lose weight so I think i might have shot myself in the foot avoiding carbs from fruits and hitting the veggies a little too hard. So what do you do if you are getting cravings?

Its not scary I find it normal and healthy...I dunno why it takes some people THAT long to get this "acquired" taste, and why people say you must really eat 100% raw to learn to like it, I am sorry but I find that not true for some people.
I always liked raw beef, I even still eat some cooked food - and I still like it, even when I wasn't at all raw or paleo much I always ate a bit of raw beef just was afraid to eat large amount because of all the stupid false scares. Now I am sure I can safely gorge on all types of raw meat!
My boyfriend similar, actually he eats a lot of crap still and lots of cooked food, but all the time munches on raw meats, so no, you don't necessarily have to be strict paleo to enjoy the taste, you just have to enjoy the taste, or learn to enjoy it.

It WAS scary for me. I can't imagine choking down food that disgusted me for that long. I'm not eating 100%  raw either. I have a family with two small kids and it's not plausable. Plus, I will never give up bacon from a cast iron skillet. lol. Although tonight the skillet cooked pork chop that I normal love tasted foul to me. I ditched it and ate some raw beef instead. I always feel satisfied with raw meat in a way that I don't with cooked food.

I know you veterans out there find this silly, but for me it is interesting to see how things are changing for me. Maybe other newbies will know they are not alone.

Yesterday I woke up hungry. I had an urge to eat a raw egg, but had not yet cracked one open and eaten it. So I gave in to societal norms and didn't eat it. I then decided that I didn't "feel" like eating raw meat and would give my stomach a rest for the day. So I put some honey on a banana and sat down with it. It was like my body was totally against it. I ate it anyway and waited a few hours. By this point I was grumpy and had low blood sugar and didn't feel well at all. I was trolling around for something to eat and opened the fridge. I immediately grabbed some sirloin and started eating it with my hands until it was completely gone. I felt soooo good. Like a fat cat ready for a nap. It was so strange to me how without following any rules or guides my body is plowing towards this diet on its own! I usually eat wilted greens with my eggs in the morning (runny yolks) and this morning it just tasted downright bad. So I ditched it and ate a few raw yolks straight from the shell. Seems like raw food is the only thing that makes me feel good now.

When I started reading on raw food they said it could take up to a year for a person to start liking the taste of raw meat. That was scary. Only took me 3 weeks.

But I am worried about not eating enough raw veg. What sort of things should I be eating? Most of the things that I ate in the past required cooking (beets and greens, broccoli, onions. etc..)

I know we were talking about this somewhere but I can't remember where.. Anyway, they were talking about eating sweet potato after a workout. BUT I recently found Persimmons to be excellent when in season. They are mostly wild and high in Vitamin C and potassium. They are also fairly high in carbs and sugar. Might be a good option as they are in season now.

lol. Fertile I don't want to be. 

But I HAVE noticed that my eyes look more blue than usual. They usually tend to be more green looking but have turned more slate grey/blue than normal. My digestion feels great and after eating MUCH more raw beef I don't feel anything weird about eating it. I sat down for lunch with my husband and he didn't really think it was all that weird. It's always good to have support.

I really don't like the connective tissue or fat that much. I trimmed the thick hard fat off for now. I was eating sirloin so it's not very fatty anyway. But I bought some ribs for this week and the marbleing actually looks really appetizing.

Love the oyster. I laughed when I saw it. Being of the birht industry I have a lot of art containing a vulva. Reminds me of a scene from Harold and Maude...

I have been eating just fish and eggs so far because I wasn't quite sure I would like raw beef. I usually find something off putting about steak that is cooked really cool etc. I don't know.

Well, today I found an amazing butcher who only uses local grass fed beef. He makes all the cuts right in front of you. So I get it home and unwrap the paper and squint waiting for the funky beef smell....and nothing. So I leaned down and smelled it...nothing. As I was cutting it I was surprised by how my mouth was watering (and even is now talking about it) and how natural it was.  I had NO problem at all eating it. The taste didn't bother me at all. It was actually good! I think it will take me a little while to fully get over the stigma of eating raw meat. There was still a little voice inside me saying "eww don't it's raw!" But I think the animal in there was roaring louder.

wow...I know "aged" beef is better than completely fresh, but have never throught of doing it myself. Usually when I  leave a steak in  the butcher paper it gets yucky smelling. I can't say I will ever eat a slimy steak.  But a nice dry one sounds pretty appealing actually. I eat a ton of Jerky each week.

The pictures of your refrigerators are hilarious. If I were a girl on a date and saw that I would think you were an axe murderer.   haha.

I have a good vacuum sealer myself so I can use that.

I know that good fresh meat smells good and tasts good (so I hear. I have only eaten raw fish and eggs so far) but our butcher is the next town over so I would have to stock up and either freeze it or let it sit in the fridge. But it scares me to leave meat i'm going to eat raw out for more than a day or two. Would vacuum sealing help?

ok, you guys had me rolling. I don't know how I missed it for this long. I Generally don't LIKE exercising. Running was the first thing that got addictive for me because it challenged my mind to keep going. And lets face it, I don't have hours a day to exercise because I have two small children. The yoga/pilates I do is pretty intense and works ALL your muscle groups. It's more like dancing than "restful yoga" or stretching yoga. I don't walk anywhere  for work/school because I am at home with the kids all day and honestly don't even leave the hosue somedays. That's just the nature of things. But I am trying to find a bellydancing class as long as they don't make me take my shirt off. I DID just have two kids. and I think we even have a pole dancing class that could be fun.

I think I will get a jump rope since I could do it quickly and while the kids are playing in the yard. Alhtough I'm sure they couldn't stay away from me long enough to keep from getting hit with it

ultimately I want to continue my weight loss ( 50lbs lost, 30 more to go) but I want to be toned more than anything.

Lotte Berk looks awesome.
