During my cooked paleo time red meat and additional fats via coconut, olive, and cod liver oil were my staple.  Fat is the only thing that keeps me satiated, I crash hard from starchy carbs.

I guess I'll elaborate a bit regarding weight.  I'm actually trying to put weight back on (lean mass) which was lost over the past 3 years.  I was previously assigned to narcotics and have since gotten back into patrol.  It's tough to buy heroin when you look like a gym rat, so I purposefully let myself go.

What I'm curious about is the possibility of less nutrient destruction and better absorption of raw vs cooked meat/fat.  I was eating over a pound of meat a day and supposedly enough additional calories from fats that I should've been putting more lean mass on, but to no avail.

I just ate my first raw meal tonight.  Beef liver and marrow.  I wasn't crazy about the marrow though, any tips on making it more palatable?  I just cut the liver up, gulped it, and chased with water.

Hello everyone,

I'm Steve, and obviously new to this forum.  I've been doing cooked paleo for a few months and am thinking of transitioning into raw.  I am a 27 year old police officer and have seen some results from cooked paleo, but I think most of this was mainly from banishing all processed foods from my diet.  I work long days and often do not get the chance to have an actual sit down meal so only having to eat once or twice a day really appeals to me.

I've lost some muscle and gained some bodyfat over the past few years because of a prior work assignment and am trying to get back to my previous body composition.  Cooked paleo only got me so far and I've since hit a plateau.

My interests are exercising (weights and sprinting), fly fishing, hiking, anything nature related, and I'm getting into hunting-finally.  I've recently found a local farmer who raises his own grassfed-organic beef and who can supply anything.  If you're in the central PA area and want his info I'd be glad to pass it along.

I'd like thank everyone in advance for helping me along the way and contributing to a very informative forum.
