If you are regular you should have a gastrocolic reflex to filling your stomach with water, so you should be empty after a few days of fasting. After a few days an enema will take care of what is left.

I stumbled across some interesting pages on my quest to find out more about eating insects so that I can incorporate them into my diet.

I have come across articles claiming that insects are denser sources of omega-3 than grass-fed meat, but the articles referenced did not back up the claim, so I am still uncertain about it. But omega-3 is highest in the larvae of lepidoptera (butterflies & moths). I am curious about bee larvae also. I am having trouble finding good information online, if anyone comes across some good sources of information, please pass it along.

I am interested in harvesting wild insects. Ideas include obtaining bee larvae from wild hives, as well as "farming" larvae and grubs by methods similar to those used by people in Papua New Guinea who cut down the sago palm and return weeks later to collect the grubs feeding on the rotting material. I am curious if this could be replicated with trees native to the Americas.

I see suppliers of larvae such as mealworms online but I assume they are fed a diet of wheat, corn or soy and are probably the nutritional equivalent of grain-fed meat. They even take on the flavor of the grain that you feed them on.

If he doesn't push that stat harder, he may be shooting himself in the foot.

If you watch his latest interviews, he does mention it a few times. See:

I did give some pork kidney to the stray cats, but I don't think they will be able to make use of the marrow fat. I feed my own cats nothing but raw grass-fed meat but they won't eat pork or bone marrow.

I am not eating it because I am not eating meat. Since this is a raw paleo forum and my present diet is not a raw paleo diet, it isn't the place to discuss what I am currently eating, though I did mention it in my journal in response to a question:

What's going on? Can you try to get your salt from meat?  I think there's salt in the blood and kidneys, not to mention ocean fish.  Do you eat brain or other unfrozen fats? Any poultry? What kind of high meats if any?

I reintroduced carbs into my diet, then switched to a different diet. I am eating vegetarian w/ raw animal products, a yoga or sattvic diet. I find myself unable to stomach raw flesh foods. So I am currently eating:

Raw Dairy: limited to raw grass-fed milk, yogurt, butter, ghee and cream. I do not eat any other dairy. No cheese, sour cream, kefir, etc.

Cooked vegetables: a combination of organic vegetables, typically a root vegetable and a green leafy vegetable or brassica. I have been eating lots of beets, swiss chard, collard greens, sweet potato, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, etc. I do not eat any garlic or onion, or other pungent vegetables.

I am not eating fruit or honey as it is winter here in the northern hemisphere and I am of (predominately) Northern European descent.

This is my diet 99% of the time. I use little or no spices, and no salt. I drink nothing but spring water.

Most of my protein is raw animal protein from grass-fed animals, since I do not eat legumes, grains or nuts. My Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio is 1:1, since all of my fat also comes from grass-fed animals and vegetables. I have been tracking what I eat for the past few months on Cronometer. Nutritionally, the diet is excellent and balanced, and I feel as healthy as I did eating RZC.

Eating 100% raw grass-fed flesh foods was very therapeutic and did wonders to restore insulin sensitivity and overall balance to my digestive system, but I am not interested in eating that way long-term.

I could never get brains or testicles, though I wanted to try them. I made some high meat in the past.

I did not eat anything today.

I drank 3 750mL bottles of mineral water throughout the day.

Okay, KR for my last meal was 4.11.

I had a BM this morning shortly after waking. It was gray and clay-like in appearance and consistency, a type 4 on the BSS, and it passed easily. I am not sure what accounts for this change. Maybe this was the pork that I ate? Maybe pork just looks different coming out than beef? I would like to get some activated charcoal so I can time stuff going in and coming out, and to help some friends who have constipation issues. I think I shall buy some.

I had a BM this morning, 5 1/2 days since the last one. This isn't surprising given my much lower fat intake. It was very dark brown, very heavy and concentrated. Still, no trouble passing it. If you look back, I had no bowel movements since my last high fat meal. The most fat in any meal since 5 1/2 days ago was 100g, and most meals had much lower fat intake. Last night's meal was high in fat.

I have been drinking San Pellegrino for the past 4 days, I like it much better than Perrier, which has a bitter aftertaste. pH is 5.2. Here is the mineral content:

Calcium: 178mg/L
Sodium: 34.9mg/L
Potassium: 3.3mg/L
Fluoride: 0.56mg/L
Magnesium: 50.4mg/L
Bicarbonate: 194mg/L
Nitrate: 0.64mg/L
Chloride: 55.4mg/L
Copper: not detected
Sulfate: 439 mg/L
Arsenic: 0.0031
Lead: not detected
TDS: 864

I have been on my current diet for about a month now and I seem to be doing great.

Today I got more marrow bones. I could not get beef kidneys so I got pork kidneys. I did not mind them as much as the pork liver, but I don't like them too much either. I like ruminants much more.

For my meal I ate 3 ounces of pork kidney and 3 ounces of high-fat ground beef, and 9 ounces of marrow fat. I am going to eat adequate protein, high fat for awhile and see how I feel. My meal had 0 carbs, 235g fat and 45.3g protein, 2304 calories and KR=4.67.

With so much fat and such limited protein, my diet will be much more ketogenic. I want to stay on this for the next 2 months, at which time I will have been on an all-animal food diet for 3 months. I plan on going to a doctor and getting some tests done at that time.

Today, my meal consisted of 16 ounces ground pork and 3.5 oz. pork liver, both raw.

That's 97.3g protein, 99.4g fat and 2.4g carbohydrate. 1320 calories, 68% fat, 31% protein, 1% carbs. KR=1.95

I also drank 3 750mL bottles of mineral water throughout the day. And I took 1 tsp. of Himalayan sea salt.

Again I was not hungry all day, not until my meal time. I ate just after 6pm yesterday and around 7:30pm today. I liked the ground pork but not the pork liver. It tasted okay, like beef liver but milder. But the texture was rubbery. Beef liver is moist and slimy in comparison.

Here is a picture of my rotting gums. I have no picture to show recent improvements, but my girlfriend tells me that the pink area has expanded, the dark red areas above the teeth used to go much higher but have receded. The brown decay on the teeth used to extend several times further down on the teeth. She looked at my teeth closely back in January, before I started any kind of paleo diet and was still eating a high carb, processed food diet.

I am hoping for improvements and I will continue posting pictures as time goes on.

I would leave the US if I lived there.

And go where? (I mean this honestly, I cannot decide)
