Let's start with the results: a fricking _lovely_ baminette after two
miscarries attempting an all-raw diet. ;)
Seriously, she eats lots of steamed sweet potatoes (she likes to crunch on
some raw, eat some barely cooked, slightly cooked and soft as she prepares
them). She eats a great amount of fat. Salmon, coconut, pork (commercial),
bone marrow, beet fat. She ordinarily has fruit and nuts (and sometimes
yogurt) until dinner (occassionally a salad) which is almost always animal
foods and sweet potatoes (lathered with thawed coconut cream) and maybe a
salad. The animal foods are either pastured beef, commercial porkchops
and/or porkbelly, tuna (raw) or salmon (often grilled), and once in a while
some lamb. The more fat she eats the thinner she seems to get and the more
folds the baby gets. As I mentioned she craves calcium and gnaws on my
bones (ha! the one I don't eat I mean), loves occassional canned salmon
(and the melt-in-your-mouth bones), and often pops some bone meal with her
meat. When she has yogurt she takes some magnesium/zinc supps. She says it
makes a noticable difference.
Cheers,
