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 am a 54 year old male. My last cholesterol reading was 650 & triglycerides were sky high at 2000. I'm on 80 mg. of Zocor/day & a little afraid of taking Gemfibrozil because of possibility of rare but fatal muscle disease when combining Gemfibrozil with statins.
I've read on the internet where cutting out starches, breads, carbohydrates, cereals, pasta, fats, & sugars of course, has been known to lower some people's trigycerides a great deal.
I am also not a drinker, take no caffeine in beverage or any form, & try to limit my sugar intake.
I can do without the cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice, & starches but I do LOVE bread. Is there any form of healthful, low calorie, or non-grain bread I could purchase or even make myself which would be low calorie &/or gluten free & might serve to help possibly lower my triglycerides? I'm afraid the multi-grain bread I buy at the store may fall short of what's actually on the ingredients.
I've heard "hunza" bread or "pita" bread are good. Just wanted to know if you might have any other good recommendations.
Thank you very much for any assistance.
Sincerely,
Mike E."
Answer Well, I've heard that this bakery provides some good gluten-free bread:-
IMO, most of the substitutes for gluten-free bread sold in bakeries invariably include vegetable-oils and other horrors. It would be better to avoid bread entirely. Here are some healthier recipes:-
