Re: How much RAF to eat daily?

[Guest guest]

great question. CUrrently i am eating 6 raw eggs for breakfast with

i think about 30g of raw butter. then for my next 2 meals of the day

i am having cooked meat at the moment with raw butter ( about 30g

once again ) at the moment i feel like i have stagnated. ( lik

eenergy feels to be dipping ) I think this could be highly

attributed to buying supermarket meat and supermarket eggs/butter.

Unfortunatly i cannot find any other source right now. The eggs from

the store are either free range or organic, yet i highly doubt their

authenticity. I would really like to know how much eggs/raw meat and

butter one shoudl eat for optimum health and perfromance.

Hi Roman,

For a person who is eating a combo (i.e raw and cooked) diet, the amount

of raw food necessary is variable. It all depends on the person. AV's

recommendations are for people following his Primal Diet, which is raw or

mostly raw. That is not to say 1-3 pounds of raw meat (seafood, red meat,

fowl) wouldn't be beneficial in a raw/cooked combo diet, in fact I know

several people who do just that. But AV also recommends 1/2 to 2 lbs raw

fat and several other items as well. This of course is intially (though

not solely) aimed at a person who is sick and wants to get well. So using

that as a benchmark we can backtrack from there.

In a nutshell, you have to experiment to find out what is best for you

and how far you want to push it, assuming you are only suffering from the

things mentioned below. But eight ounces of raw meat daily and several

raw eggs will certainly improve your health. To what extent will vary

with each individual. In your case it may and probably should turn out to

be a boon, depending on what else you are doing. And don't forget the

easiest raw animal foods for most people to incorporate are dairy

products, assuming you have access and can tolerate them. My advice for

those who want to stay in the partially cooked camp, is to push the

percentage until you get well and then hang out at that level for six

months to a year. After that you can experiment with various percentages

of raw vs cooked if you so choose.

I would suggest going slow and working your way into eating raw meats.

Try a very rare steak initially. It is tasty and socially acceptable.

Then from there try carpaccio and tartar. Then later cut up some very

small pieces of meat or fish and put them into a salad. Then pop a few in

your mouth. You will be surprised how good it tastes. As far as fish

there is always ceviche, but nothing quite beats a tasty tuna carpaccio.

As time goes on you may find a larger percentage of your diet being

devoted to raw animal foods. Only time will tell.

Hope this helps,

Bianca

In your experience, how much raw meat, fish, eggs,

maintaining good health and (2) for correcting some

digestion problems, deficit of energy (probably due to

lack of sleep), and improving complexion. AV

recommends eating from 1 to 3 lb oz meat a day,

depending on height/weight proportion.

Will adding a couple of raw eggs and one or two 3-4 oz

raw servings of meat and/or fish a day do any

significant improvement in health?

Thank you

Roman

Roman, I think that live-foods is the forum for this question. AV himself said

he saw gradual

improvement in his health with a serving of raw meat once a week. -- J.
