AboutRawPalaeoGuy Expertise I can answer most questions on Raw Animal Food Diets such as the Primal Diet, an organic, raw-meat-based diet and a number of similiar all-raw or partially raw Paleolithic diets, such as the Instincto, Weston-Price, Neanderthin, Paleo and Stefansson Diets. Can also offer advice on
how to resist social pressure to eat cooked foods etc. For further info on Raw-Animal-Food diets, feel free to browse through this website:-

Experience I have been 8 years on a 99%+ raw version of the Palaeolithic Diet and experienced numerous health benefits as a result, being fully recovered from my previous symptoms from my cooked-food days. My own individualised raw, paleolithic diet routine is mostly based on Aajonus Vonderplanitz's Primal Diet(ie 99% raw, usage of "high-meat",no processed supplements, using primarily naturally-reared, organic or wild sources of raw foods) but, for personal reasons, I have also been, to some extent, influenced by ideas from:- Instincto(ie:- taste/instinct,no raw dairy/no raw veggie juice), Weston-Price(eg: preferring grassfed meat to grainfed meat, incorporating a wide variety of raw organ-meats into my diet along with the usual muscle-meats, and Vilhjalmur Stefansson(high-fat diet, pretty high proportion of (raw) animal food), but also eating some raw carbohydrates such as raw organic/wild fruit/veg/honeycomb etc.). I'm also a firm believer in the feast-and-famine idea (ie Intermittent Fasting) as regards boosting one's energy levels, and giving my body a rest from constant digestion.

I have found that eating raw fatty meat (and fat in general) increases my heart rhythm. I have been low carbing with paleo raw food for several months and I started an all-raw-meat diet for 10 days. But the more I eat fat, the more my pulse increases. I can even sometimes have arrhythmia. My heart is OK according to the doctor.
I am 39 years old, 1m82 for 66 Kg.
So what can be the possible reasons of this trouble, and how can I fix it?
Thank's for your help!
Answer Well, I don't really know why this might be. Magnesium is cited as being needed for getting rid of heart-arrhythmia so if you happen to be eating lots of raw dairy along with the raw meats/organ-meats, then the excess calcium consumed from the dairy would block the uptake of magnesium, thus leading to magnesium-deficiency. So, cutting out any raw dairy would do the trick.
Other than that, I can't be sure what might trigger an increased heart-rhythm. Usually,my view is that one should just listen to a body's instincts and act accordingly, so you might want to alter your diet until these symptoms disappear. At any rate, when I used to have a speeded-up heartbeat pre-raw diet, I took that to be a bad sign.
