AboutRawPalaeoGuy Expertise I can answer most questions on Raw Animal and Vegetable 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, it's a good idea to browse through GoodSamaritan's 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.

Education/Credentials No nutritional qualification(I don't believe in standard(misguided) nutritionist doctrine, so I don't feel the need). I simply rely on mine and many others' long-term experiences of raw, palaeolithic diets and I've read most of the books that are vaguely relevant to a raw-meat diet.
Question hi im shawn im tring to join the service and i need to lose 3% bodyfat do you have a suggestion
Answer Well,if you're trying to join the army(or the police?), it's going to be a bit of a problem following a Raw Palaeolithic diet unless you're not in the front-line, and I presume you're not following one now. However, here are a couple of simple suggestions which will make it much easier for you to lose the fat:-
1:- Eat 1 large meal only once every 24 hours, within a 4-hour period. Constant digestion just encourages the body to lay down extra layers of fat, and causes fatigue in the long-term. And you don't need the huge amount of food that a 3-meal a day routine provides.
2:- Stick to eating protein and especially (animal) fat. The more carbohydrates you eat, the harder it will be for you to lose weight, as they encourage insulin insensitivity which in turn stimulates the formation of extra layers of fat.Also, carbs(raw or processed) give you a high initially due to raising blood-sugar levels unnaturally, but the body, in response, quickly causes blood-sugar levels to drop, thus causing fatigue a short while after eating the carbs. Fat provides the most energy so will keep you going for longer, and you'll feel less hungry, even with smaller amounts.
3:- Do a little weight-training, but more importantly, do a lot of bodyweight-training every day(ie running/push-ups, curls etc.)and vary types of exercises as often as possible.

Should you be interested in following the RawPalaeo approach(which I've found is even better than cooked-palaeo at keeping optimum weight) you should have a look at these 2 books:- Aajonus Vonderplanitz's "The Recipe for Living Without Disease", and Price and Pottenger's book "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration".
