Omnivorous Raw Paleo Diet / eating animal fat
« on: December 30, 2010, 09:49:59 am »
Hello all,
I'm on day 3.
Yesterday I went out with my parents and uncle to a very salty (and expensive) dinner. I don't know if this is just an american thing, but every restaurant I go to is so salty. Actually, if i remember, the food in russia is pretty salty, too. I wake up in the night and my lips are dry and my heart is in pain.
Well, i bought a big slice of grass-fed beef today. I cut it up into ~5 oz pieces and put them in the freezer. I ate one with some vegetables. Not raw, but almost. I'm used to cooking my meat ~8 hours. This time I only browned the outside. I had no problems eating it. In fact, it was pretty good.
When i was cooking it, i started thinking that it didn't smell very good. I didn't put any spices. In fact, i never like the way beef smells when it is cooking. Most people put spices or onions when they cook it, and the spices do make it smell good. But beef just cooking by itself doesn't smell good, in my opinion. People say, the spices bring out the aroma of the meat, but I think the spices just cover up the bad smell. Anyway, tomorrow I decided I will eat it without cooking.
But to the point. Several of the pieces of meat are almost entirely fat. There is huge vein, artery, or something going through one of these fat blocks. Do you guys really eat big blocks of fat like that (~5 ounces)? I'm leery about doing that. I don't mind a little fat in between the meat. But these are, like i said, handfuls of fat. You just eat them like that? I have visions of my arteries filling up with fat like toothpaste tubes.
