• My new favorite thing is zucchini pasta with pesto sauce. I got a recipe from Sarma that has pistachio nuts, olive oil, garlic and basil, but I prefer spinach and half pumpkin seeds. Easy, fast, filling and tasty! That pasta recipe that was posted l…

• You have to make your own almond milk. Soak almonds over-night and blend with water and pour the mix through a nut milk bag or sieve, I bought a bunch of raw almonds before the mandatory pasteurization. You have to be careful of the source to get tr…

• Nutribiotic makes a raw protein powder, vegan and soy-free. I would get rid of the soy milk and add almond or seed milk or water.

• The only fruits on a short list that I read (it was just a snippet of the list) are tropical fruits and coconut oil. I don’t now if the coconut oil is virgin or not. The tropical fruits listed were mangos, pineapples, bananas and papaya. I just orde…

  in Bananas... Comment by alpdesigns
• Bananas are an inflammatory food, being -118 (for 1 med. size) on the IF index. All tropical fruits are inflammatory according to Monica Reinagel, author of “The Inflammation-Free Diet Plan”. Coconut Oil is -899 for 1/2 cup! Those who eat 10+ banana…

• Spices are not usually raw and I have yet to find a source for raw ones. Grocery store spices are generally irradiated. If you use spices, buy organic. Frontier (online) sells them. Fresh herbs might be your best bet for raw seasoning. Turmeric is g…

• I eat much less food without being hungry. I’ve been eating raw for over four years. I rarely make the gourmet raw dishes anymore, but I do sometimes and I like to read the recipes.

  in Less hungry on raw diet? Comment by alpdesigns
• I buy produce weekly and nuts, seeds and superfoods online. It’s hard to put a number on what I spend weekly. I just ordered organic produce from Diamond Organics because I can’t get organic food where I live during this time of year (It’s snowing a…

• The lemon stimulates the production of HCl, hydrochloric acid, used for digestion.

• Oh good, I thought it was just me! I’ve been eating raw for over 4 years and I still have soft stools, just more of them!

• Banana was the first thing that came into my head before I finished reading your post. Go with your instincts on this one.

  in Need some help!! Comment by alpdesigns
• One thing being overlooked is the mineral content in nuts and seeds as well as fats. They are definitely necessary. For example, Brazil nuts are a good source of selenium and zinc. They’re also 69% saturated fats. It isn’t good to cut nuts out compl…

  in Too Much Fat? Comment by alpdesigns
• It doesn’t seem to me that a doctor who has trained professional athletes on nutrition for the last 20+ years can be said to be “full of it”. Leafy greens contain omega 3 fats as well as some nuts and seeds.

  in Too Much Fat? Comment by alpdesigns
• Spices are not raw. Unless they are organic, they are likely irradiated. Even organic spices are more often dried at temperatures higher than what is considered raw. I haven’t found a raw source yet. Frontier is a good organic source. Lecithin is de…

  in What about these foods???? Comment by alpdesigns
• I tried the 80/10/10 diet for 30 days and I was unsuccessful in eating enough calories as well. I would have been either gobbling the food to get it all in during a reasonable amount of time or I would have been eating all day. I didn’t feel that ei…

• Some of the more simple meals that I make (because eating mono meals can require more produce) are: zucchini pasta with pesto (one zucchini makes enough for a meal, I make enough pesto where I can use half for the pasta sauce and half with water add…

• You could make rice milk, but neither commercial soy nor rice milk is raw. There is a recipe for horchata (rice milk) on this site. http://goneraw.com/recipes/2858-Horchata

• Lucuma is a fruit, so I wouldn’t think that it would be unsafe. Surf the Net to find more information aout it. It is often used as an ice cream ingredient and it tastes creamy instead of tart like many fruits. I think it’s more like cherimoya.

• Hi Angie. I’m recovering from MS on a raw diet, but not all things raw in an unlimited amount are healthy. According to Dr. Graham, eating fat with fruit keeps the sugar in your blood and spikes insulin production. This was necessary for me to learn…

• Marichiesa, the lectins in buckwheat mimick insulin and are good for some people with diabetes type 1, but are allergenic to others. Here’s a good link that explains it better. http://www.krispin.com/lectin.html

• Marichiesa, it could be that you don’t digest buckwheat well because of the lectins it contains.
