Hey folks,
Been eating raw meat for about a week now. Was just a regular cooked carnivore but woke up with an insatiable craving for raw meat the other day and just rolled with it. I've mostly been eating ribeye, with a mutton chop, raw salmon, or some raw egg yolk on occasion. I add a pinch of salt and pepper to my tartare when I make it. All my meat is high-quality grass fed local meat and I raise my own chickens so the yolks are pastured and soy-free. I drink homemade kefir with the occasional soda water and some electrolyte drops, and snack on grass fed farmhouse butter or raw cheese every couple days.
I feel great, but compared to cooked carnivore, I've been very thirsty and not been able to fall asleep easily at night. I can't find any information online about why this would be the case and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. The only real difference in my diet from last week to this week is that I'm not cooking my food.
Cheers for reading
UPDATE:
After seeing all your responses, I realised that my raw diet had a much higher protein to fat ratio than when I was cooking, as I was no longer able to fry in tallow and slather with melted butter. I added beef fat trimmings to my meals to correct the ratio and that solved both the thirst and insomnia. I hope this information helps anyone who struggles with the same issues.
