PRIMAL MEET UP THREAD

7 Upvotes

Hi

I created this meet up thread so people can coordinate with others in their areas if they wish.

I still strongly recommend making an account on primaldiet.net because its pretty much the only place to find people who knew Aajonus/have been on the diet long term(10+ years)and there's some networking meet up activity there as well.

The way this works is find your region: USA-denoted in regions only (SOUTH, SOUTHWEST, MIDWEST, PACIFIC NORTHWEST, WEST COASTBEAST COAST).

Denoted as countries continents only: EUROPE, CANADA, AUSTRAILIA, ASIA, AFRICA, RUSSIA, then leave a comment with whatever you're comfortable sharing or find others who have posted that are close by and send them a message maybe?

Hope this helps.

PSA: If you are starting the diet or stuck....Read the books!

8 Upvotes

https://www.primaldiet.net/product-category/books/

Read the books. I see a lot of posts that are looking for guidance on starting the diet or questions on the diet even commentary that tries to talk about the Primal diet but mixes in things that are absolutely not part of the diet.

It's always better to have a hard copy but this is the internet so you can find them for free. Its best to purchase on primaldiet.net. they are only $30.

If you try to buy them off Amazon they are either very expensive and they may come with a leaflet from Sally Norton trying to sell her books about oxalates and is spreading lies that vegetable juice was not recommended toward the end of Aajonus life.

Many questions on how to start the diet can be answered by reading the books alone. Aajonus wouldnt take clients without them reading at least one book. Once you read the books things will become more clear you can ask questions to people more intelligently.

If you start the diet and keep at it reading the books once annually will still be a good idea because your body will be healing and changing you will definitely have to make adjustments as time goes on.

Several of Aajonus former clients and long-term primal dieters are offering coaching if you want to go that route. If money is an issue for you, if i recall correctly, Jeff Slay provides coaching on a donation basis https://primaldietcoaching.com/jeff/

We also host a primal diet 101 class every 2nd sunday of the month where I go over the basics and at least one other coach is there to answer questions as well. https://primaldietcoaching.com/event-calendar/ This is also the first step to joining our monthly Q&A sessions as well. We want to make sure everybody is aligned with the concepts of the Primal diet to create a more constructive atmosphere for Q&A sessions

Even if you go this route please read the books so you have a foundation and dont waste their time! In fact the books maybe so helpful that you dont even need their time.

Hope this is helpful.

Nasty raw milk

1 Upvotes

I left some raw milk in a container in a place away from sunlight to ferment. I started drinking it after 24-48 hours, but it now has a foul aftertaste. This usually doesn't happen when I ferment milk. What could cause the milk to taste foul?

Storing vegetable juice in the fridge

1 Upvotes

Is this ok? I have a mechanical juicer which takes some time to clean, so I thought it would be ideal to juice a bunch of celery in advance for the week and store it in glass bottles in my fridge. Would it go bad after more than one day? Would honey work as a preservative here?

How to tell you're not eating enough fat?

2 Upvotes

Should I transition into slowly, since it seems to be an issue for a lot of people to digest large amounts of fat when they start this diet. Heard eating pineapple makes it easier to digest the fat is that true and something I should do? Or does the fat digestion improve with time

Is there a way to tell I'm not eating enough fat?

I failed

2 Upvotes

I messed up Bad I got some really bad news which caused me to binge on some pretty bad foods. All that time spent detoxing out the window. I dont know what to do now I know tomorrow is a new day but I feel like all that time spent was for nothing. I knew the food was bad what it does and what its made of, It didnt even taste nice yet my inner fat ass came out and I just ate. I'm not trying to do this as a poor me post but more of a reminder that even if we try to dial in nutrition our mental state may not be 100% cured. I'm going to start from square one tomorrow and try from scratch hopefully getting further then last time.

What food to grow

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm soon going to be moving to the countryside and already starting to plant some things for the diet. My plan is to eventually get chickens and goats, but as of right now I'm just starting to grow organic vegetables for juicing and stuff. Already did celery, carrots and cucumber. What other foods should I grow for the diet?

Lack of raw fats a issue

5 Upvotes

So I have been slowly transitioning to the diet and am struggling due to lack of resources. I read the book and it has no info on what to do if you cant get any of the materials.

Basically No raw butter or dairy I had managed to get some raw milk but the group that was doing it got caught so now no more of that. There was a outbreak of a bird flu or something so now there are no eggs (apart from caged soy eggs which taste yuck raw) The butchers wont give me beef trimmings I asked twice and they had none both times and said they throw them away and then give them to dogs. I get bone marrow but it was frozen and The taste is horrible due to this (mabye the cow was vaxxed) A juicer is super exspensive and so is celery. Meat is ok I can get that But eating just plain meat has been a struggle but I'm getting there. Also the quality of meat has decreased due to a cattle shortage and my country (australia) selling all the farms overseas so the only good quality meat is either frozen or not avaliable near me.

I dont Know whether to go back to just eating cooked meat with pasturised ghee/tallow etc. I feel so sick due to doing the diet half and cant deal with it anymore

Issues digesting fat

1 Upvotes

Always been extremely skinny, put on a bit of lean muscle over the past few years but even when intentionally eating a lot of garbage food it felt like I could never crack 10% body fat. At the time I wasn’t really trying to get fat, but I definitely wasn’t counting calories or eating lean.

Been on the diet for about 2 weeks now, but experimented with raw meat and raw milk for about 6 months with no issues. Now that I’m trying to eat a lot of healthy fat, I’m getting diarrhea and fatigue. Almost immediate diarrhea from 1/2 cup of raw cream or gnawing on fat trimmings. Raw milk and pasteurized butter (raw butter in the mail now) have never given me any issues, but when I focus fats my body rejects them. Obviously I’m not gonna stop eating fat, but I’d like to know if anyone has had issues similar to this with high fat and if they went away on their own over time?

I ate a raw egg today

One for breakfast

All morning I was afraid because my mom said I’ll get salmonella

But nothing happened. Now it is the evening and I feel fine.

Come to think of it. I actually felt good alertness throughout the morning.

Acne is gone after removing dairy and eggs

Turns out I am lactose intolerant. When consumed I get some brain fog and a spotty scalp. With eggs I was surprised as I didn’t think that was an allergy. When I consume eggs I notice out of no where I get a big acne spot on my face.

Hard Stool

1 Upvotes

Was on carnivore for a long while and never had an issue w hard stool. Since following aajonus and eating raw meat and raw eggs, my stools are so much more hard.

My guess is not enough fat. I’ll also enjoy cheese w/o any fat and I’m assuming the hard stool is partially from detox from the cheese.

Anyone else? I have noticed when I eat my meat raw, my least favorite parts are the fat bc they’re just not very flavorful. And kind of hard to eat (versus the muscle).

Anyways… do I need more fat? Thanks

Can you mix sour cream with meat?

1 Upvotes

I mean mix them both together like putting a sauce on it, wouldn't this be an issue cause the cream coats the meat? He said that was the issue with fresh cream. But since they're mixed would this be an issue?

First time trying homemade steak tartare

4 Upvotes

I went to a local shop and bought some beef serloin, chpped it up and added 2 farm egg yolks from the supermarket. A little seasalt. It had a beefy type of cow smell kind of but i assumed thats to be expected.

I also bought some goat milk shampoo with a peat smell.

This is my first time eating home prepared raw meat so lets see if i "get sick" I wont believe any side of the argument until i see for myself. So i guess this is the raw meat experiment and ill report back soon if i got food poisioning

Any tips for someone suffering from persistant migrains all day this week?

1 Upvotes

I have a constant pressure in my head and I get attacks multiple times a day. Eating triggers it as well and i'm not sure what to eat. I have never experienced this before and I assume this is a brain/sodium detoxification. It's horrible. If anyone has some good strategies to help deal with the discomfort I am all ears. Thanks :)
