I think you speak wise words here Lex. We need the nature with all its aspects. I think it is a mistake to believe it is all about foods. It is about context though, seasons... the stuff you write about above.
I slept in a tent last 1,5 months... and I have never slept so well. Tells a lot to me.

I concur. No matter what I do I can't achieve the same sleep quality as when living in a tent.

FYI, my fasting glucose is 84 on average, but once I eat it rarely drops below 92 during the day. That's probably because I eat frequently.  My diet is 80% raw but it is fairly high in sweet tropical fruits, coconut water, and oranges. I do smoothies with raw grass fed cream. I do salads with raw sheep and goat cheeses and lots of olive oil. I do quinoa with egg yolks and raw butter. I try to eat fat when I have any carbs/sweets fruits. I only eat meat twice a week, usually sashimi or low temp processed buffalo jerky.  I get lots of sun exposure on my skin. I don't exercise formally, but I do spend alot of time in the yard playing with the kids, gardening, walking.

I'm thinking I might be a bit low in animal flesh, but I don't crave it much. Sometimes I start to feel an animal flesh craving coming on and then I eat some raw dulse, and the craving is gone. How does one gauge protein deficiency without relying on cravings alone? Cravings seem like the only accurate measure for me.   If I start to feel even a tiny bit anemic I boost my animal flesh and sometimes I add bone marrows.  I only sleep about 7 hours typically, but when I slightly boost the amount of animal foods in my diet, I sleep more like 8 hours.

Hi Lex. I am new to the forum and have been skimming this thread today.

A little about me. I'm 38 and generally free of any acute health issues. I'm 6'0 and 144. I haven't ever been to a doctor other than a naturopath about 12 years ago, whom I saw a few times over the course of a year.  I don't have any recent blood work so I can't say much in that regard. I've been doing some home blood sugar tests and blood sugar experiments lately and my blood sugar is remarkable stable, and hardly changes after meals, especially my first meal of the day. Blood sugar pretty much hovers around 92 when I wake up in the morning and one hour and  two hours after breakfast it is still around 92, which I find interesting.  Some times my second or third snack of the day will create a little 25 point spike, and then the rest of the day I hover around 92, even after evening snacks.

I've read that 75-85 is optimal, but I've also heard that people around those levels usually have 40 point spikes or more after eating meals....even after a piece of chocolate.  Seems to me I would rather be around 92 with 10 or 15 point spikes, than be at 82 and have 40 or 50 point spikes.  Your observations?

Also, I have one question about your current prostate challenge...  What is your take on water fasting as relates to acute pain, acute illness, etc? I have a great respect for Herbert Shelton's work and I find fasting to be quite 'efficient' in the treatment of disease(for lack of a better word).

Aloha, Mark
