That's strange. Wheat is a huge acne-breakout (among other symptoms) food for me and is more strongly connected to acne than almost any food besides possibly sugar, if I recall correctly from my past research (although dairy is strongly linked too--so if you add cheese to the spaghetti you give yourself a double-whammy). From the perspective of nearly any variety of Paleo diet, spaghetti is one of the most unhealthy foods on earth for humans. Why not eat a slightly less toxic but also inexpensive food? Most spaghetti is refined too. Do you eat whole-grain, non-wheat spaghetti or something?

My acne finally cleared up completely when I eliminated all plant foods from my diet. So if you are indeed going to try all-RAFD, perhaps it will work for you too.

How and what plant foods are linked to acne?  folk at acne.org would assume otherwise b/c of the nutrient density of fruit and veggies. Some claim it helps their acne  by making *green smoothies* or eating them whole but that never worked for me. Also why is spaghetti the most unhealthy amongst other foods?  aside from the cooked meat ( if you incorporate beef  into your spaghetti)

In an nutshell, my mom thinks its foul, disgusting, inhumane and intolerable. Obviously the social conditioning of cooked food seems innately programmed to the point where she automatically rejects the idea of this type of lifestyle.   No matter how many links of information i send her, or no matter how many times i  try to talk to her, she never seems convinced.

Today's little episode started off with her putting a piece of paper on my door stating how chrons disease can be linked to unwashed produce and raw meat.   i read it, balled it up, threw it in the trash and said * I'm still eat'n raw meat" .  She said....................  " Thats very sad". i replied "  I think its sad how you wont research any of this and its sad how you are forming your conclusions based on your personal beliefs".  The dialog went on, at this point I urged her to do some research, and she kept flat out saying no. She then says * you have until December to make the shed as habitable as possible.  You should also live in the wild and live like an animal since you want to eat like one* when you get sick again ( i was sick with a fever, loose stools and a cold--dont know if any of this could have been linked to the raw meat i  was eating there's a thread on it) dont come to me asking for hep because you're not my responsibility.  I said "Fine".

At this point i'm extremely annoyed at her willful ignorance on the subject. I dont know what to do and i surely dont have any money to move out on my own at the moment. i kept telling her I wont eat the meat around her but she doesn't care.   I've been eating cooked spaghetti ever since i recovered from my sickness but more so because i dont know whether it was that time of the year or because it was due to the meat.    It was all grainfed Whole Foods meat. I will resume my raw meat intake once i have a job so i can purchase grassfed.  i urged her to do some research on the subject but, she says "nope".  so annoying, don't know what to do.. honestly i dont really care, i just want her to break loose from her social conditioning a little.

 only eat when I'm hungry.

I guess I'm slacking on the protein/fat thing.  I kinda paid it no mind just eating chunks of fat with ground beef.


I eat morning/noon, evening and night.   Pretty much the same thing, ground beef raw eggs.

I also have a mild cough.

Would it be wise to eat right about now,  my stomach is killing me

Hello People.

For the past 5 days i've embarked on a omnivorous paleo diet consuming probably 2 pounds of ground beef a day. i would eat a baby red tomato and an avocado, and drink an egg before I start eating anf another one after i finish eating.   I have also been consuming chucks of beef fat with every meal.

Ever since last night, I fell as if i have a fever and my waste has been watery/loose.  And i've been feeling these periodic pains that come n go as if my body was tryna get rid of some waste, but did not get rid of any ( cant explain the pains, if i knew the human anatomy well I could point out where the pain was).

I'm sure there are cases of this on the board, i did some searchin but each case was different so i'd just like a few different perspectives on this.  

My Body had been digesting raw meat fine when i first started. Of course i'll give it some time, but just really wanna know whatsup with this.  Could it be the ground beef?   I really cant afford anything else right now in terms of more solid meat.

I am afro-american, my eyes are dark brown.

Should I expect to see a change in the near future if i stick with this lifestyle?

So are avocados good then?   

I was reading this thread ...

I am also concerned with being under weight.

I am 6'1 and weigh 147 ibs

thanks!!

the brisket i ate was very tuff.  really had to use my canine teeth for that one!  next time i'll have whole foods cut it up into mini squares or something i find using a knife to cut it is kinda tedious. I just chewed through it until i was able to  rip it apart and swallow. The blood tasted a bit stale, not really good nor bad.  Didn't get to try the chicken because my mom bought the pack from a supermarket.  

word...


That brisket was tuff!

Hi!

Unfortunately Whole Foods grass-fed meat is a bit more expensive so its grain-fed.


On a side note, after already discussing paleo with mom she flips out when i mentioned my last meals and says that "it's a stupid thing to do!".  Shes received emails about this from me already. that said, while mom was yelling I tried talking with her and she'd  cut me off with mentions of bacteria and sickness. Further in, I wanted to bring up a few points on cooking and she cuts me off with " Oh Please we been cookin' fah-eva!"  If i recall, she said something to the extent of "I 'ont know why you eat'n raw meat. like you some D**N animal"   it's almost like she doesn't want to learn about it. She seems to be intimidated by the idea and shes ready to "kick me out". never mind that, how do you get someone to open up to this if they will not accept information?   its like she had her fingers in her ears yelling out " lahh laah laah" the way she was telling me how she "don't wanna hear it" whenever i tried to speak.  It's annoying!


time to eat 

Hi!

Today i'm deciding to feast on 1/2 lb of raw beef chuck, 3 raw eggs, a raw chicken leg, and half cut brisket.


I've been eating beef chuck for the past two days but when I get to the heavier meats, should I be concerned with any oozing blood from the meat?  Do I rinse it off?  better yet, is it safe to consume?

Thanks!

Great to hear the wonders of this lifestyle...

I cant wait to begin...

On average how much do you people spend on food a week?
