Day Zero

[Eva_R]

Greetings all,

My name is Eva, I am 30. This is day zero for me, a chance to work out some kinks before i get started, like do some shopping for good meat. I tried being a raw vegan for three months and it ended up with me lying on my bed barely able to move, having suffered from a 3-month long congestive cold with a series of long lasting flus on top of that, not to mention near death depression and demonic mood swings. If you don't feel you have the courage to cuss someone out in public in the most fierce and vicious way, and you would like to do this, perhaps trying a raw vegan diet might do the trick for you in giving you an extra dose aggression, albeit unstable. I know the raw vegan diet works wonders for some, but it did not work for me, so this time I am adding meat. 

I'm curious what it will taste like raw.

Welcome amongst us!

Raw meat can taste very different whether it is fresh, matured, somewhat dried or very high. Fresh beef is rather bland for me while 1 or 2 months matured (hung in fridge) wild boar or venison has a very strong smell and taste which is very appetizing when you need it. Interestingly, people on a cooked diet feel that it horrifyingly stinks when the same smell is fine and mouth-watering for me!

BTW, I read in one of your other posts that you plan to still drink coffee and tea. Sounds odd to me because stopping coffee is certainly a highest priority, something I fortunately did 48 years ago.

anything that taxes your liver will cause anger and depression, vegetable oils are the best at doing this, but caffeine, alcohol obviously, dehydration, too many carbs, stress, lack of sleep (especially between 9pm-5/6am, you need to be in deep sleep between 1-4 to heal the liver).  eat liver to heal the liver! start with lightly cooked if that is more palateable, or perhaps bolt down some frozen but into small tabs ala weston a price suggestions.  eat lots of egg yolks and citrus juice dressed green salads.  start out with lightly cooked meats, any kind just make sure they are good quality, raw fish is excellent and easier for folks to palate and also full of omega 3's, invest in blue ice fermented cod liver oil, which after a high veggie and nut diet will help to bring your omega 3:6 ration back into a better balance.  get a good probiotic or eat fermented foods so you can digest and assimilate your food properly

Thank you for the great advice, even about coffee  

That's a good way to get raw yolk down, make a dressing of it, and I would like to try that. I was considering for breakfast tomorrow to blend the eggs and guzzle them down. This morning I stared at my raw eggs and nearly gagged, then I cooked them some and slurped it all down. It definitely needs some tart to it.  I had a few raw nuts and tea with some zero carb whipping cream to taste for dinner. If I continue avoiding the meat in my fridge eventually I will be so hungry my mouth will start watering for it. I will visit the red slab of raw beef (grass fed) in my fridge, maybe even for breakfast before the weekend is over.
