Yes, but it's so hard. If I'm not obsessing about it every minute of the day my weight balloons out. I'm sure this yo-yoing can't be good for my body. I just wish this diet was easy for me. But following it really takes up a lot of my time and concentration and I have to think about it all the time ...

Sorry if this is in the wrong section; I'm not sure if avocadoes are nuts or fruit. I've never liked the taste of avocado; it's too oily for me and I don't like oily food much - I never really took to nuts, butter or cream. In the past, eating a mouthful of avocado made me retch although I don't do ...

I've been reading about stomach hunger here and I think that's the reason why I have a tendency to be obese. I love drinking water with my meals. I usually drink 3 glasses of water with my meals; I cannot NOT do this; my mouth feels dry and I feel really thirsty if I don't drink water. A few people ...

When you see 'nobody' you can assume I exclude the paleo-eaters. (And they might eat sma;; mammals from the POV of their health's sake (or what they think is healthy) but I doubt they salivate when they see small mammals or crouch down cat-style and pounce on their prey when looking for small mammal...

In fact I don't know anyone who wants to eat small mammals raw. Except those paleoeaters. So what is it going to be? No one, someone, a few people, many people? And those people you met, did they live a million years ago or were they a produce of modern society? Well, put those two sentences togeth...

I've been reading about the Genghiz Khan and I came across where the author Jack Weatherford makes an interesting observation that the natural diet of the Mongols was more raw than the diet of the peoples they invaded: the Mongols ate horsemeat, drank the blood of horses, and drank mare's milk. When...

Well, I've traveled widely and talk with thousands of different people every year. In fact I don't know anyone who wants to eat small mammals raw. Except those paleoeaters. If you have any differing personal experience please let us know. I think I speak for most people actually about people not wan...

Here's a good page on several raw nut impressions: http://www.living-foods.com/articles/nuts.html 4.9 Pistachios Pistachios are hulled and dried within 24 hours of harvest. Rosengarten reports that the nuts are dried using heated air, at 150-160 degrees F. The ones I had weren't dried, I don't thin...

Thanx Oscar! It's about time you caught on :roll: Hey, but check this out for a smile :D http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/05/13/nsea13.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/05/13/ixnewstop.html Early modern humans in East Africa initially survived on an inland diet based on big game but by...

This is the link I am looking for. http://www.ecologos.org/meat-eating.htm It explains how we are not herbivores, and not carnivores but frugivores (although we can eat proteinaceous foods like seafood - I think shellfish in the main although Wai says it's deep-ocean fish like mackerel, tuna and sal...

Click on "Profile", then "Find all posts by <name>". It's sorted with last post on top. As I said that only works if the poster is the last or the first poster in the thread. Try it with a middle poster. You will find that you cannot click it open. To find all the posts by a poster, you have to fin...

As I said, we are not designed to chase and catch small mammals: http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2002/07/13697.shtml We are mainly frugivores. We can eat some proteinaceous foods - according to our evolutionary history I think these foods include shellfish. I doubt they include small mammals. I am ...

Again I am not arguing that we eat shellfish over salmon, I just want to know about the evolutionary explanation. (I know about the high zinc in shellfish.) Was primitive man then eating a non-ideal diet then? Assuming they were eating way more shellfish than they should and not enough salmon as the...

I know primates eat lice and termites(?) and that kind of insect/larvae, and most of the insects eaten are eaten in their COOKED state. I am working in Asia and they sell cooked insects here - but they are all cooked. There might be the raw kind sold but I have never seen them. I would say 98-100% o...
