There are actually others like me on this board and on another one too
www.zerocarbage.com

My meat is raw on the inside, cooked on the outside. It tastes better and I'm personally not convinced that 100% raw is significantly healthier.

I tell everyone how I eat and have had no problems so far. The fact that I eat my food slightly cooked probably helps. But even then, some may comment on how raw the inside is. I don't care.

I've only eaten meat and water. Nothing else.

My energy levels fluctuate but are much better when I eat less fat and more protein. Excess fat makes me tired. I usually eat twice daily, sometimes once daily and rarely 3x or more.

I mostly eat beef. Liver, very occasionally. Muscle meat almost exclusively.

I like chicken thighs and pork but feel the best when I eat beef. It is much more satisfying.

I am mostly sedentary but when I walk, I walk for hours and walk fast. I'm 32 years old.

My tongue has turned rather white and furry since cutting out carbs... I hear that that's a sure sign of candida?
But it's not nearly as bad as the pictures that show up when I search for something like "white tongue candida" on google images.

Hey, can you tell me what have been eating? I am wondering what caused the white tongue.  Have you been eating raw or cooked foods? Thanks.

Oh...so this topic is already being discussed, lol. Silly me. Must be the fruit getting to my head. I see the topic of white togue. Yes Candida can cause this problem, believe it or not white tongue is actually a strong indicator of...*GASP* detox!! I know I know a lot of people here don't like that word but I tend to believe in it. When we fast we examine our tongue, it's a good indicator of the progress. It get a solid white fuzzy coat during fasting, when the coat disappears, the fast is then over. They say the tongue turns the same color as the stomach. When you go into a DEEP juice or water fast your entire stomach gets fixed, or attempted fixing(not to mention much of the body). On my orange juice fast my tongue turned so white, but I really couldn't make it all the way too 40 days so I stopped at 14. It was funny because within 24 hours of introducing foods, my tongue's white coat was gone. Some don't react so well to fasting though.

    I intended to fast on water alone for forty days, but quit before day twenty was over.  My tongue did not get white, but it did get slimmer.  It did get pinker again.  I used to digest vegetables well.  Plus my test results backed up that statement.  After that fast it changed.  I haven't been as good at digesting vegeables since.  I've never done a two week orange juice fast, but I have lived on only oranges, lots of young coconuts, grapefruit (they all grew right there no chemicals), herbs, a little salad, a few beans and daily water enemas for almost a year.  My tongue never got white that time either.  Is everyone supposed to get a white tongue with it?  I knew mine was over because all the lumps were gone, and I wasn't reactive anymore, nor feeling sickish.

I don't think every one is supposed to get a white tongue with it. As usual, I think it's totally different for every one. It just so happens with the Barefoot Herbalist MH he noticed that a lot of the people following his regiments would get white coated tongues. And eventually their tongues white color would disappear, so he kind of judged that at that point the stomach was done being repaired. OR he got the idea from some one else, I'm not sure. Not saying it's true or not, but that's kind of a judgment call a lot of faster's make. I my self would only ever do an OJ fast again if my weight was higher. If my weight was up at 140 and I felt I needed to fast, I would do a 40 day FOR SURE.

    I think each person's experience may be different.  People I fasted with had white tongues, especially one that was detoxing of chemotherapy for cancer she was put through.  She started the fast near death and very thin, but did really well through the fast and got better.  Maybe medications cause more white coating.  I didn't even take aspirin growng up no matter how bad headaches I had, etc.  What does MH, o, ok master herbalist.  I'm utilizing animal stuff to heal etc now anyway, and for keeping clean (and I don't mean soap fat).  How does everyone here feel about fasting?  I'm not sure I want to do it anymore.  I'll see when I get there.

Hey there. At the time when I had the white tongue, I was eating raw zero-carb. The white tongue went away after I started eating carbs again.

But I don't think it matter whether I was eating raw or cooked, because if the white tongue was actually from candida, then I most likely had candida issues before I started eating raw in the first place

I've been eating raw ground beef and fat, mostly in the form of pemmican recently. Occasional wild blueberries. Everything is from frozen. Raw liver often.
I sprinkle dried seawater on the beef before drying.

No white on the tongue, didn't look when I started zero carb, less shitting but better since I added enough fat.

I feel better, stronger and more energy.

I have had a white tongue for over a year.

I am going to start eating completely raw primal diet within the next couple weeks.  I've sourced raw grassfed meat, honey, milk, organic fruits and vegetables, and am looking for organic cream/butter.

I did a 10 day master cleanse fast/detox where I only have lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper drinks 8 times a day.

Initially the coating on my tongue increased but after the 8th day pink patches started appearing about by the 10th and the next few days it was clear pink.  Once I started eating regular food again, the whiteness came back.  It will be interesting to see the positive changes a completely raw diet will bring about.

Hey William, according to Vonderplanitz, meat that has been frozen will lose a lot of their benefits.

     How does everyone here feel about fasting?
I think fasting is fine. 3 days seems enough for a all water fast. However I eat one meal a day, so I kinda fast every day. I eat at night.  It feels good to actually get hungry before you eat.
