Rawesome,
welcome to the forum! I was in Norway (I am Norwegian btw, just born in Finland) a few months ago for 2 months and I loved to pick oysters at the beach and eat them fresh.. yum! And then I loved the whale meat! And mackerel... I ate mackerels almost every day, they are so fatty you need no extra fat for sure at that meal at least!
I am sure you could get fresh lambs meat too, it has some fat on it, and tastes amazing.
Try to get game too.. and organs, you need to eat everything on the animal. You will find seaweed to much on, for free, in the ocean. I am a fan of wild foods, they makes me feel amazing!
Do not count calories by any means! Go after how you feel and you hunger. Calories means nothing.
Do not eat fruit in winter in Norway! That is my advice... and as you write you already experienced it is not too good for you. Always try to eat in season. Maybe you can find Hazelnuts? I love them! They are very high fat and very healthy, almost no carbs and they are growing in Norway too. I do sometimes eat Brazil nuts and Pistachios and Macadamias etc. for dessert, I love nuts but they must be fresh and organic, not rancid or you will only hurt yourself.
you could try grinding your fat with a meat grinder, and then placing a shallow bowl of it in a pan of warm water,( slightly more than body temp). you'll find that some of it will melt, and the taste will be pleasurable. Avocados are full or pufa's and a bad substitute for real animal fat. Also try eating fat alone when hungry and stop when you've had enough, when your desire to eat anymore goes away. Then wait till your hungry again, and eat mostly meat. The same, stop when you don't want to eat anymore,, or, stop just before then. This is a good way to let your body start figuring out how much of each it wants and it will strengthen your ability to use fat as fuel.
I cant stand ground meat.
Just get good scissors.
I agree that grinding fat can lead to eating too much. But, and here's the but, it can help one discover just how good fat is, to get past one's mental ideas about eating chunks of fat. And then, one can go back to eating it in pieces till satiated.
As far as avocados go. I love them too. So easy to eat everyday. And yes California avocados would do well in a avocado tasting contest with any countries entries. I am saying that when I go off them and substitute with animal fat, I do much better. You might try as well, should you come across a big hunk of fat that's not rancid. I've done this experiment a couple of times. And it's not an easy one, for it's hard not to eat a perfectly ripe avocado when it's just sitting there in your kitchen. And this idea I believe would hold true to even a greater extent if someone were getting most or all of their fats from them,, and not animals.
Rawesome, you seem very fixated on eating lots of meat. I'm curious why? Do you crave it for some reason? Are you trying to mimic the eating patterns of a particular diet guru? You might consider fasting for a few days and just seeing what cravings develop. You might find your appetite for meat falls, your hunger for raw animal fat rises, and sugar cravings subside...
You live in Norway.
Look for Inger's posts and her youtube videos.
If you are near enough to her, meet her and learn from her.
That may speed up your learning about raw paleo diet norwegian style.
Did you know she's pretty and very feminine? That may inspire you even more.
Here is a link for raw dairy in Norway:-
http://www.realmilk.com/real-milk-finder/other-countries/#nor
I get the vague impression that small farms there would be likely to do a deal with you re raw dairy sales, but you would have to phone around a lot.
All that said, problems/allergies towards raw dairy are THE commonest issues on a RVAF diet. I would strongly suggest you get used to a dairy-free rawpalaeodiet first and then, after some time, try a little raw dairy to see if it has a negative effect on you or not.
Re antinutrients:- Yes that was what I was talking about. Now, granted some raw vegetables will have lower levels of antinutrients in them than others(those that are repellent in taste when eaten raw are usually very high in antinutrients), but since all raw vegetables have this sort of defence to some extent, it just is not a good idea to overindulge in the stuff. I have not heard of problems if people drink moderately.
