great fear of pot belly

[Guest guest]

hi,

hey i just joined the list !! i'm a 20 year old female college

student who has found sally fallon's way of eating fabulous. i have

been experimenting on a raw meat diet for about three monthes in

which i consumed great amount of raw beef and raw butter and some

sauerkraut,beet kvass,bone broth, raw cream, raw cheese and

sometimes raw fish, and so did my boyfriend. (and among our college

friends we're the weirdest couple) recently we've found that maybe

we should start eating a more variety of foods, so we started a week

ago cooking some vegetables (before we insisted on fermenting them

only, but it's impossible for us to carry it out) and have tried out

some brown rice and lentils from sally's book. the raw meat diet was

a very low carb diet and we think it's important to keep our animal

protein raw and eat a lot of enzymes. but i don't know why i've been

having a protruding little belly just right under my belly button

and it seems to be getting bigger. it is some kind of piled up

flesh. i'm not a very big woman and am currently 100 pounds. but to

see a belly growing out of proportion is a very scary thing for me

and i don't know why. except this thing, i feel very energetic

almost everyday to do lots of homework and food preparing and being

pretty happy and satisfied with myself. only this weird belly.

recently along with sally's cooked vegetables, legumes and grains

experiments, i also added a lot of coconut cream into my diet hoping

in might help me gid rid of my weird belly. i'm wondering what is

causing such a scary belly ? it's weird how i'm getting fat this way

while it's supposed to help loose weight for a lot of people. but

still i consider raw animal protien and raw butter as a very

important source of energy and good health. another factor is that

i'm an asian , does it have anything to do with this belly problem??
