How much fruit do all of the raw paleo omnivores eat?

[Hans89]

500-700 cal on days when eating raw lean meat (most of my days)

How much lean meat do you eat per day to meet your caloric needs on those days?

How much lean meat do you eat per day to meet your caloric needs on those days?

2 meals of 250gr lean meat, so that's 500gr total (plus 500-700 cal from fruit). 

When eating high fat raw I have one meal of 400gr fatty ground beef and it keeps me satiated until next day. Or I'll have one lean meat meal earlier in the day and then 250gr ground beef in the evening.

How long have you been eating like this, Actionhiero?


How do you feel?


Why do you skip the fruits on your fat-days? Digestion?

- about 6 months

- I feel pretty awesome, raw paleo really is the best dietary protocol

- I feel it confuses the body somehow. Yes, digestion is much better of both fruit and raw fat when not eating them on same days. High fat raw I do every 4 days or so to keep my hormone levels high but there is more vitality in my body when I do fruit+raw lean meat.

Thank you actionhiero!

That is pretty intresting what you are doing there. 

Have you tried some other kind of WOEs? Like raw vegan, zerocarb etc? Or is this your first raw journey.


Your WOE sound very logical to me. I myself am almost 4 years raw (omnivore) but started a ZC at Christmas.

Maybe I should try your WOE.. altough ZC (with some wild herbs) feels really good to me to!

In depends on the place where you live. On Iceland, for example, the fruits are really expensive.

Lol, true dat. I've been eating a lot of fruit lately and I'm going bankrupt just thinking about it.

Also the fruit quality is very low and you can only get organic apples and oranges

This whole thing started for me in 2008 when I got food poisoning from eating fish. It was 3 days of hell but had it not happened I would have never changed my way of eating because I never experienced health problems in my life. I wasn't even looking for other dietary protocols at the time. I was just surfing the web looking for info on food poisoning. In 2 years this is what I tried, in order of progression:

Arnold Ehret> Doug Graham> Art de Vany & Mark Sisson> PaNu> Aajonus Vonderplanitz> RAW PALEO

I kept what worked, eliminated what didn't and was left with the best. My fast progress was because I wrote down every day what I ate and what effect it had on me. When you have everything down on paper there is less room for self deception. This was most important because ideas in our minds can delude us into believing all kinds of nonsense that are in reality harming us. See for example the fruitarians who are wasting away even though they are eating 3000-7000 cal a day and need b12 shots to stay sane and functional. If there is one thing I want to share with the whole world it would be this : "Don't let an idea in your mind distract you from reality". And this is not just about diet but life in general.

As for you, you don't have to try eating the way I do. I'm just sharing my own experience. It may work for you or it may not but you are free to try of course.

Dig you avatar FortheHunt can you tell us anything about it?

[Inger]

Thank you so much for this info, actionhero!


Can I ask you just one more question?  

What kind of fruits are you eating, usually? Do you have any favors?

By the way, I love how you are sharing your own experience, that is just of SO much value!

What kind of fruits are you eating, usually? Do you have any favors?

My favorites are:
- ripe persimmons
- mangoes
- pineapple
- pomegranates
- cherries
- figs

Right now I eat mostly apples and oranges, sometimes bananas for a change.

I make sure to eat several servings a day, my favs are various berries (blue, black, rasp, straw) and apples, I can eat up to 3 granny smith apples on a good day.

When I eat cherries I've got bloating and diarrhea afterwards. It could be because of the high content of the salicylates. Even very local cherries are problematic for me; much better are bananas, although they come from Panama or Cosa Rica

Hmm thats funny yesterday I ate a pound of cherries and felt great and when I generally eat large quantites of bananas I dont feel so great.

[Hannibal]

Maybe I should calibrate the amount of cherries that are not problematic for me.
