I was close to switching to raw but it is symptomatic of people with extreme personalities..and that is me, I would crave sugars and binge on chocolates and then feel guilty and have a day of eating raw veg whih is about as satisfying as kick in the balls the truth is, all food is dead when it reaches your mouth and cooked foods are not poison or anything, I enjoy some cooked foods so I keep them there.. I enjoy some chocolate and cooked meat, our ancestors all ate it!

i've read & seen testimonials about diabetes being corrected within the first few days of going raw. just have to be careful of what you eat at first, but your body's blood sugars & stuff will start to level out & become normal from the first day you switch. if you're on diabetes meds, you can get off of them. just have to monitor yourself & eat the correct foods, but it can be done!

Raw Gurus like David Wolfe sell alot of Expensive supplements that claim to be 'raw' and are loaded with all kinds of Nutrients. My question is a simple one, just as we can all take our Water to a Facility to have it independently Tested and Analyzed as to its specific contents, Is there any Place out there that Independently and Scientifically 'tests' Nutritional Products so that we can know if we are being lied to or not ? I cant be the ONLY 1 asking this question and wondering !!!!

Id like to know what others think of this or if they ever tried it. Due to time constraints and small Kitchen space and lack of Kitchen Equipment, im going to go 100% Raw Vegan, but my ONLY sources of greens will be These Various Popular, Hugely Promoted Raw Grass Powders such as Vitamineral Green , Pure Synergy, Spirulina, and E3Live Algae, along with Organic Fruits and Fats. Has anyone else out there ever tried this for a few Months ?

just use VITAMINERAL GREEN

They aren't diabetic anymore

add rather than substract! that is clever i wonder if thatll work with stuff other than switching to raw. i became raw - by osmosis - over a few years just by reading testimonials and thinking about how logical it actually is. if you fill your brain with reasons eventually you'll wake up and realize that your the healthiest person you know.

what do the diabetic eat? aloha

this raw food diet is great. im doing it now and jusicing is def he way all i understood from this guy was low fat and apple and pear but what he is saying is valid .... its just a bit mumbled....

I love raw and fresh and fermented... I wonder if that's also why I like aged cigars? :) I would wager that you could smoke mass produced cigarettes, even take a toxic drug or two, and as long as you ate Nutrient dense foods (the way they use to be), drank enough water and had enough rest - you're not likely to get sick - ever.

wtf??? This guy is wasted

Wow I heard that guy before and yeah I couldn't understand anything either, I think he is drunk from the fruit sugar.

Since my first raw food meal, my body began to crave the raw. Now it's been a week of mostly raw, and 5 pounds are gone. Besides the weight loss, which is a nice side affect, my restless leg syndrome is gone too. I'm doing this to regain my health, and truly believe, this will do the trick. Very pleased with how much energy I have too.

I'm a 7 year vegetarian and have been doing 80% raw for 3 weeks and I feel Fantastic! I'm also starting to see some abs again. Food is a lifestyle, you choose which one you want. Peace on Earth

HI Sugarcan When ntransitioning to a mostly raw diet The secret is to add fruit and veggies rather than subtract From my expereince the green smoothie see my youtube has been the most successful tool in ones transitioning Have fun in the sun Arnold

When you transition, can you go through a detox phase or something like that?? I heard it could be pretty painful.

hmm cant really understand him very well

Damn, all I could understand of his speech was "apple and a pear". Well, that's a start I guess.

Certified organic or so called "superfoods" are not a requirement of eating raw plant foods

i like to keep a little fish in my diet! like salmon! its what u can do and like!!what ever make u happy and healthy! i do about 80% raw foods that what works for me!!

hey i thought fish was good for you though like the omega and all that.. is fish bad? i want to go raw soon but i thought fish was ok.

I have heard that you should avoid eating for 12 hours overnight before. Are you able to drink water within the 12 hours? Would water make you hungry?

Raw food vegan here since 2001 and I can you with no hesitations that is fool proof. I've never felt better in my life.

to the person that says that vegans are ''fanatics''etc. I would have agreed a year ago but now being raw food vegan it makes perfect sense. i derive all my nutrition in the most natural way. dairy products and grains slow & clog up your system. I suffer from colitis and this diet/way of life has actually cured my symptoms. i have no doubt I would be sick again if I returned to a processed diet. its worth checking out and it aint nuts. i still have a great time, I party & have fun etc.
