Hi all,

I'm Marnix from Belgium, and I've been lurking on your Paleo List for
about
a week now.
I too became interested in the "basic food requirement" for men, after
seeing that our dogs do so well on BARF.
We always have been very careful in what we ate (always bio-products),
and
we wanted the same for our dogs.
So we banned commercial dog foods and via home cooked food we got into
BARF
about a month ago. And you should see them!
They are an example of how a healthy dog should look and act!
This made me think and search for a "human" variant of BARF.
And this is how I subscribed to your Paleo-List.
I'm gently decreasing grains and diary and I've increased raw veggies
and
fruits. After only one week I may say that I already feel fitter.
I've always been quite healthy, but I think Paleo is the way people
are
ment to eat.
Soon I will buy Ray's book (I've found a Belgian e-bookstore where
they
sell it) and together with what I'm learning on this list I will try
to
optimise my "eat-behavior".
