About RawPalaeoGuy
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:- http://www.rawpaleodiet.com/

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.

Special Diets - how much organ meat?


Expert: RawPalaeoGuy - 4/20/2009

Question
Hi
I've been eating raw paloe for a while now but i'm concerned that i may not be eating enough organ meats. At the moment i eat about 500g liver a week, 6-7 lamb kidneys, 3-4 lamb hearts, a few tablespoons of bone marrow, with a few sweetbreads every other week when i get them. The rest of my diet is suet, and fatty steak.
Should i be eating more organ meats and if so, how much more would you reccomend?
Thanks

Answer
No, that's fine. You have plenty of variety/quantity of organ-meats, for now(organ-meats should be a minimum of 10% of raw animal food intake, but it's not so important to exced that provided you have nough variety, which you have).You might also be interested in Dr Ron's site as well:-

http://www.drrons.com/

He sells freeze-dried organ-meat supplements(derived from 100% grassfed cattle) of the highest quality(ie minus preservatives/trans-fats like magnesium stearate etc.) Anyway, he even provides organs like brain which people like me are unable to get hold of. It might be an idea to buy a bottle of the "organic organ-delight" multi-organ mix. The stuff is rather expensive but at 1 capsule a day, with 180 capsules in the bottle, that lasts 6 months, and should provide, if only in small amounts, bits from most organs.

Other than that, I heartily recommend that you keep looking around for more sources of raw marrow and raw tongue.At least I find them even tastier than the other kinds.

HTH,
RPG.
