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 What do you feel is the ideal ratio for protein, fat, and carbohydrates, as far as percentage of calories.
Answer I'm really not certain. RAFers vary widely in their opinions, citing all sorts of "ideal" figures for carbs. I find that raw zero carb really doesn't work for me. At the same time, going in for high-carb doesn't work for me, either. I don't personally follow strict rules re calorie-counting as I find that micromanaging a diet leads to becoming overly obsessive re dietary rules etc. - I just follow a rule of preferring raw fat(ie fatty meats/some organs like tongue/marrow/suet) to raw protein(ie lean meats) and raw protein to raw carbs, but I still eat carbs in the form of raw fruit and the occasional raw vegetable. So, I'll usually have a main-meal each day consisting of a fatty(grassfed/organic) muscle-meat or organ-meat, with every 2nd or 3rd day,adding in a sizeable amount of raw organic fruit, c.30 minutes later. Of course, this changes here and there, as sometimes meat-supplies dry out temporarily etc., so that I then resort to lean meats/organs or raw fruit, instead)
Raw zero-carbers tend to be more focused on percentages. They tend to claim needed ratios of raw animal fat as 60-80% with protein being 20-40%(most claim 80% fat/20% protein as ideal).
