Cool. I don't want to sound superficial but if that was a more attractive looking person who had a better on screen personality, and the background music and general production was less corny and more hip, it would be way better for the movement.

If movement is the problem try adding more butter to your diet. In extreme cases try Exlax. (sorry couldn't resist)
I found it very informative but would have like to seen more recipes but overall it was very informative and the info on how to buy, skin and juice a coconut was worth the price of admission. It is so easy now. For someone who is away from areas where others can show them things it is a bonus.

Does Aajonus teach that you should only suck eggs out of the shell? If so, why?

Not sure if he teaches it but I believe he mentioned somewhere that whipping it causes gas to be trapped and may cause stomach discomfort in some people. I have heard people who whip eggs and have gotten stomach problems.

Sucking eggs out of the shell is meant to prevent the oxidation of some enzymes and improve digestion.

He writes that you shouldn't beat yolk and white together unless you do so with some dairy fat. Otherwise any way of consuming an egg with the yolk intact should be ok I guess.

OK, I'm new to this aspect of the Primal approach, so could you explain why oxidizing high meat is good but oxydizing eggs is bad? Thanks.

yeah, I've never understood the rational of the egg sucking thing. Not that there couldn't be some benefit in doing so, but that eggs feature prominently in various recipes and such, and he recommends for some to add whole egg to Veg juices. So I would assume this would evolve breaking the yolk to mix, at least that is how I do it. Also he recommends a long (6 week+) fermented cracked egg, but there could be a difference between the oxidation of that, and the everyday nutrition of the egg consumption.

I suck em out of the shell because I don't want to wash any dishes.
