I eat raw beef, liver, kidneys and chicken – it’s transformed my life
A WOMAN who used to be a vegan has claimed eating raw meat has ‘transformed her life’.
Mimi Graff adopted the plant-based diet in her teens but said it made her so poorly that she couldn’t see herself making it to 20.
Now in her early 20s, Mimi, from Stockholm, Sweden, says she has been following a raw meat diet which sees her tucking into raw beef, chicken, and pork, as well as a variety of organs such as liver and kidneys which she also prefers raw.
She said: “When I was 17, I weighed 39 kg, had autoimmune conditions and didn’t see myself making it to 20.
“Since I started eating raw meats, I am in spectacular shape, have perfect health, and get better and better every day and in every way.
“After several years of veganism, I was all but incapacitated. In my disoriented state, an impulse took over me one day and propelled me to the fishmonger next door where I purchased the largest salmon they had.”
When she arrived home after this first shopping trip, Mimi said she sat down and scooped at the fish with her hands until only the skeleton remained.
“Immediately, the sensation of a warm ball of energy started in my stomach and shot through my body and I was in complete euphoria. It felt like my brain was switched on and my body was revived.
“I have been chasing that feeling ever since. That started my journey of reconnecting with my instincts, following my intuition, and experimenting on myself.
“I felt no guilt and never again considered the lives of animals.”
The NHS states that cooking meat properly ensures that harmful bacteria on the meat are killed off.
“If meat is not cooked all the way through, these bacteria may cause food poisoning.
“Bacteria and viruses can be found all the way through poultry and certain meat products (such as burgers),” guidance states.
Now, Mimi says she always listens to what her body craves and says the ‘feeling of raw meat is unbeatable’.
Mimi says that she can’t get enough of her raw meat diet, and loves experimenting with different variations.
The majority of the meat Mimi consumes is raw beef and she says this is because this is what she responds to best.
She added that it’s also the most accessible and convenient neat suitable for raw consumption at home.
“The remainder is mostly chicken, pork, and fish that I alternate between raw and lightly cooked. I also incorporate organs, primarily liver, kidney, and bone marrow that I prefer raw too.
“At restaurants, I always choose the raw meat dish if possible, like steak tartare, carpaccio, ceviche, or sashimi.
“However, I’m perfectly content with a lightly seared steak too. My goal is to try a raw meat dish from every culture and of every animal.”
Mimi said that she’s ‘delighted’ when she gets away with eating raw meat in public.
“However, I have found that it all comes down to presentation.
“It’s so fun to rip the raw flesh with my hands and teeth, but I reserve that for when I’m alone.
“My etiquette has never left me. Raw meat is for feminine and sophisticated girls too, we’re not all menacing bodybuilders or stinky hippies.
“My East Asian and African family and friends are by far the most accepting and willing to try my food. Europeans are squares and only order culturally sanctioned steak tartare or ceviche at restaurants.
“Americans have been the hardest crowd to crack. All of my negative comments come from them.
“Although my physical metamorphosis is amazing, proper nutrition has transformed my mentality even more,” she added.
