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.

Question I am 11,5'4'' and weigh about 150 pounds is this the right weight for me or do I need to lose some weight. Also I have a lot of belly fat and have been trying to get rid of it for quite a while. Do you know any ways that I can boost my metabolism? Thank you!
Answer I can;t honestly tell you whether you have the right weight as everybody's ideal weight will vary greatly depending on their particular natural build(ie slight/medium or heavy). I view the BMI-index, re measuring ideal weight as hopelessly flawed as, by its calculations, bodybuilders like Schwarzenegger would seem to be fat which is absurd, but here's a page where you can work out what it is:-
There are only three reasonably reliable ways to reduce fat, long-term. Eat less(you could perhaps try Intermittent Fasting(either eat one large meal at the end of each day, or eat all you want on one day and eat nothing the next and repeat the cycle)or you could go low-carb - if the cooked low-carb doesn't work you should then try raw, low-carb instead.
