good idea! is there an organ that is the least strong in flavor that might be better to start with?
I should add the caveat that our Paleolithic ancestors also suffered some health problems and pockets of nutrient deficiencies too, and even wild animals (especially the giant panda) can exhibit health problems and nutrient deficiencies. In my excitement I sometimes forget to warn about this. Biological evolution (or intelligent design, depending on your perspective) only works to get humans and other animals to reproductive age. After that, it doesn't appear to have much impact on disease and survival other than encouraging some older adults to survive so as to provide guidance and stability to a human, elephant, chimp, etc. population.
Now that we know that you are breast feeding, there are a few things to look into.
I just personally observe that women's bodies somewhat calculate that they have enough nutrition to make babies, carry them to term and nurse them. So your body has probably calculated its nutritional requirements far before hand. Now that you are consciously trying to change the whole game, you get the resulting subconscious cravings.
Hope that makes sense.
Me too, I'm hesitant to do bone marrow from the health food store. I know it's "natural", but I don't know either where it's from. Lambs may be milk fed. The shucked oysters, they are likely pasteurized. Which side of Texas is it from? If they are helping you, great! If not, wait to do them till you can get live. Pickled and smoked fish are not ideal, but they are better than heat cooked. I'm not sure how paleo either. Paleos did have fire, so smoking the fish, just by keeping it safe nearby them by a campfire probably happened.
I think Tuna would be deep ocean. Was it previously frozen?
Funny, people told me that going into the military wisdom teeth are automatically taken out just after boot camp. The VA dentist is probably very good as far as dentists go. I wish you lots of luck!
For me, I wouldn't mess with non-grass grazed fat. I think it's toxic. If you are able to get the best raw grassfed butter, I would go with that for now. As for organ meats, I would go with heart or other lean meats, unless it is grass fed. Where is your seafood from? Lamb for that matter, is it New Zealand?
I hope you're all healed after the infection. Did you take it out?
Hi Carnivora,
Nice to meet you.
I think it's from the breastfeeding. I never ate so much like I did when I bf'ed, I was truly hungry every moment even though I ate.
I'm thinking since you so recently switched over to raw meats and are likely eating less grain, roots and sugar, that your milk is richer yet less abundant. Carbs make more abundant body fluids (including breastmilk increase), yet less nutrient dense body fluids.
Yes, you are hungry uncontrollably more than us and more than you were because of this switch during this time. Sounds wonderful to me, the opportunity passing this healthful way onto your child. I would recommend if you could, eat more raw fat until satisfied and always have abundant raw fat around. Also, you may find cutting down on things like soy sauce and on mustard helps. Grains are very addictive, and I know you're hungry. Just eat the fat and your baby may pick up the habit earlier than us on eating this densely nourishing food that's important to all infants as well.
I can tell you the utmost truth, raw grass grazed cultured fat did immediately take bad fat off my body and strengthen my muscles and bones (things important for a nursing mother like you).
If I can help you in any way or whatever happens, if you drop me a line, I care to help.
Best to you on this. I wish I found raw paleo a few years earlier. It's a treasure.
If you eyeball the meat you buy, it should be 1/4 fat.
We have all had a lifetime of training not to eat fat, and unless we break that training we have troubles with food.
Welcome.
IMO your stomach is used to more food in it and a slower digestion. You're looking for that "full" feeling but we don't really get that eating raw. It's more of a sated but light feeling in the stomach.
If I recall correctly I ate a lot of meat in the initial transition to raw (I was transitioning to a carnivorous diet at that time as well) trying to sate the same hunger pangs. Eating more fat helps but it's also just going ot take some time for your stomach to shrink some. Stick with it and you'll feel better in a couple weeks. FWIW after 5 months I eat maybe 2 pounds of meat and 1/2 pound of fat on a very active day with most being less.
