Introductions aren’t my strongest point (nor is English) but I wil give it a shot since it seems kinda strange to just start posting without one.
My dietary history
The first 18 years of my life I lived on grains, shit-fed meat, greens, fruits, lots off dairy and junk. I’m from the Netherlands were they have taken the low fat hype to the next level. It is common practice to eat 2 bread meals a day. To make matters worse on this bread there should be margarine because it’s a healthy fat right? Real butter is used only very little in the Netherlands.
Sometimes I really wonder how I survived!
At 18 I started reading a lot about nutrition and slowly realised there’s something very wrong with dietary advice giving by mainstream channels. I learned the value of real fats and experimented with low carb.
Next I found out about the blood type diet and naively believed the theory largely. Being type A I embarked upon a largely vegetarian diet with some dairy and meat. During the next 5 or so years my health increased and I kept reading. Slowly my diet got less blood type and more low-fat.
Recently I found out about the work of dr E. Howel, a true pioneer imo, and started eating lots of sprouts (no grains) and raw vegetables. This really helped my health a lot. However I still felt drained by the cooked meat so I started to google raw vegan and read a lot about it. I never did raw vegan because I’ve always been very sure humans are omnivores.
I felt it should at least be possible to eat eggs dairy and some types of meat raw. This lead me to the primal diet and eventually here. The next 2 months I read as much as I could on your forum and learned more than I ever thought I would. There’s a lot of wisdom here and I’m very happy to be part of this forum now.
I’m currently transitioning to an RPD diet. I tried going cold turkey and felt great however it wasn’t long before I started cheating due to social factors. So I now am easing into the diet.
My diet looks somewhat like this:
06:15 breakfast
smoothy
0,3 litre raw organic milk
4 whole organic eggs
teaspoon honey
tablespoon VCO (in my climate its always solid)
9:30 snack
Apple
Avocado (addicted to them since my low carb experiments)
12:30 lunch
200-300 grams Raw organic semi-grassfed beef fatty cut
0,3 ltr raw organic milk
Some butter or vco
15:00
0,5 ltr Green vegetable smoothy with sprouts(50%)
Piece of raw cheese
~18:00 diner
Cooked meat or fish
Cooked vegetables / green smoothy
3 enzyme caps (they really work for me when eating cooked)
Suggestions are very welcome
