  • is there a "good" ratio of omega 9s to 3 & 6 in the diet, even if omega 9s are non-essential fatty acids?

  • ok. Brazil Nut powder might be something to try. Also... Spirulina and Chlorella are a good choice. Hemp Protein Powders with Fiber are also good. Just eat your greens, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, the sprouted non-stored grain and legumes, you will b…

  • well um. I'm in Miami. The restaurants I know of (around here) are the LifeFoods Gourmet, La Vie En Raw. I dont know any others. I do know that every saturday in coconut grove there's this awesome (!) organic farmer's market that sells raw gourmet f…

  • for some reason I am afraid of consuming nuts that are not raw, even if unsprouted raw. I think the chemical composition of the fats or just the molecular structure of the nut itself is altered such that it makes it easier for one to become fat from…

  • I just don't understand why the most common knowledge is that candida is caused by acidic pH and not alkaline, and in fact people suggest having a more alkalinizing diet to keep candida at bay.

  • That's what I mean. If fat makes sugars take longer to digest, and insulin is only released half an hour after consuming sugars, there will still be sugar left in the blood so that it can feed candida and not be absorbed by the cells of the body. Th…

  • yea I do. Another thing one might want to look at is the Metabolic Typing diets. Now I haven't done it for myself, some might find it unscientific? I haven't read about it myself but Gabriel Cousens speaks of it. If one finds that they probably need…

  • Alright.. I do believe a fruit diet is a good one... but the fact is, not everyone can do the frugivore lifestyle right off the bat. Fruitarian vs frugivore... frugivore is different in that a frugivore does supplement his diet of mainly fruit with …

  • i dont understand.. I always thought candida occured when the body became too acidic.

  • One person told me that perhaps because our bodies are filled with toxins and in an unhealthy state.. it's going to take a process of cleansing first before we could have a diet of mostly fruit. That means, lots of greens, sprouts, remineralization,…

  • Simple to more complex raw pumpkin soup recipes. The last one requires a juicer. All of them require a blender. http://www.missorganic.com.au/recipes/raw-pumpkin-soup.html?p=48 http://goneraw.com/recipe/pumpkin-soup-orange http://www.thebark.com/con…

  • even monkeys in the wild have bellies. Anyway.. I dont know about the role of fruit in our diet. Though for sure fructose does convert to fat faster than other carbs regardless of where it comes from.
    in doesn't fruit make you fat? Comment by ghost
  • gorillas can have bellies. and yes,most monkeys do have a belly. It might be natural for them though to have a belly so most wouldn't call it "fat" but a belly I've seen on most of them. Except for maybe the small ones but still they can have a prot…

  • any science behind the fruitarian thing?
    in doesn't fruit make you fat? Comment by ghost
  • maybe fruit is only good on the go and for short bursts of energy. but for people who don't have time to exercise much it's better to take something that is low glycemic grain, and more complex sugar. perhaps like barley.

  • I will be high raw, and get supplements. If only we could find more raw supplements. Also, if b12 can be fermented than why can't we build the flora to be able to ferment this in our guts? Maybe we have lost the ability to make b12 on our own becaus…
    in I find nothing wrong with supplementing.. Comment by ghost
  • yea the article doesn't make it clear whether it's just all fructose or processed fructose.

  • RDA of protein is usually a lot less than what most Americans are suggested they take, especially if you exericise, ie "1 gram per lb of weight", etc. Veggies also make you retain muscle. So that's definitely a plus. Third, proteins are in their nat…

  • Also, where do the proteins come from if not from mung bean sprouts?
    in high fruit or grains for carbs? Comment by ghost
  • Yea that might be true. Though I always thought grains were low glycemic. I guess I'll have to try it out. Fruits can be addicting (as with all sugars). That might be part of the "high" people get being raw fruitarian for a while. So what's the role…
