Isnt the primal diet too much liquid?
-
I feel like almost all the food I eat is in liquid form. Eggs, smoothies, formulas, milkshakes, milk, blood, and the only real solid thing I eat is meat or fruit. Won't this have negative effects? I feel like it must.
-
Probably not. I too was concerned about that once but non-problem; the NaturalHumanDiet on YT claims his friends/family compliment him on his wider jaw since starting the RP diet several years ago.

@vyvultra well then maybe ill supplement by chewing mastic gum or doing facepulling to be on the safe side
@TrenAndTartare no need. If anything just chew those tough pieces from a fatty red cut after your meal and you'll be fine. This is what I do

No this is not a problem. You're not missing a "solid food requirement".
Humans aren't meant to chew food too much anyway and the Maasai also understood that.
These foods you mentioned are liquid in its natural state and they dont require chewing, which is good.
And even with raw meat. Meat digests better with minimal chewing. If you chew raw meat too much it will activate ptyalin which is alkalinizing and will interfere with meat digestion.
"Doctors" don't know anything about nutrition and diet. Don't listen to them. Enjoy consuming raw!!!

@Hunterskull ooh nice explanation thank you. I guess its a non-worry after all.

Personally, i always thought it was too much blended food. I mean almost every recipe involves a blender in some way shape or form lol

@Jay which is good you digest it better. Why do you think we patee the meat. So we digest all of it with the nutrients. Basically pre chewed
-
@Klaudio_Bosi I still prefer my foods whole like a cut of steak or a slice of watermelon but each to their own.
-
@jay watermelon is different the steak you should eat it patee. You can eat it how it is you will derive nutrients just way less than patee like 20-30 percent less

@TrenAndTartare You probably consume too much liquids so eat more meat and reduce the liquids slightly and see how you feel. Most people eat too little meat and drink too much on the diet.
