• Yes, leahceleste is right about the foods being more than just fat. I did a blog post about avocados for this very reason: www.angiesrawkitchen.blogspot.com

• About 80/10/10: The "Doc" is not a medical doctor. He is a doctor of chiropractic & trained in Natural Hygiene. And, people are different. What is bad for one is good for another, and what is good for one may not be so good for the other. For me…

• Agave may not be really raw, but it is definitely low glycemic - it affects my blood sugar slowly & steadily like complex carbohydrates do (i.e. grains).

• It says they can teach you how to build one for any climate, and they have the option to retrofit existing buildings, so no building permit would be needed if that's your option. It sounds very cool!

• Gabriel Cousens is a type O, as is David Wolfe. Dr. Cousens says that type O people may need more protein, but that it doesn't necessarily have to be animal protein. He recommends for everyone to be 100% vegan & at least 80% raw. My experience i…

• Find out about DHA & omega-3 essential fatty acids. They make a big difference. Both are found in salmon, but if you are vegan, then hemp seeds, walnuts & flaxseeds have lots of omega-3s, and I believe Shazzie said that you can get a vegan D…

• I should say that I eat ALMOST 100% raw - I have very few exceptions, and those are probably on their way out(nuts that may not be truly raw, etc.). I started not with the intention of going raw, but with taking in exactly what my body needed to be …

• Sergei was type 1 & was diagnosed at age 9 (I think). I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 27, and I went raw at age 30. I use about 1/3 the amount of insulin on raw as I did when eating cooked food, plus I have lots more energy &…

• The only danger of eating raw legumes I ever heard of is eating them raw & not sprouted. I eat sprouted lentils, but most others are usually too bitter for me.

• According to Ann Wigmore, we humans can't chew it well enough to get the nutrition from it, but I've never heard of any harmful effects from eating it whole.

• rawcanadian - Please don't feel that you are being attacked. No one is saying you have to eat 100% raw, or that the site is only for those who eat 100% raw, or what is healthiest. This was just a little discussion about what it means to be a "raw fo…

• I agree with Chris & dagny about what "being raw" really means, too. I went to a raw foods class once where the lady was telling us that cashews aren't really raw - she said, "If you want to eat cashews, fine. But don't call yourself a raw foodi…

• Soaking truly raw nuts activates enzymes that are otherwise dormant, but if you feel great eating them unsoaked, I don't know of any reason you shouldn't do it that way! :)

• Also, have you tried sprouting lentils or mung beans? They're pretty easy.

• It may be the sweeteners that are keeping them from getting crispy. I don't know what raw sweetener you could use that would get crispy. I know honey dries out more than agave does. Maybe you could try one with apples and buckwheat, then just top it…

• There was an old thread on here for athletes. I think it was just called "raw athletes" - it may be a good resource. I know lots of raw distance runners use dates for fuel during runs. Young coconut water is a great natural source of electrolytes, a…

  in How many avocados per day is okay? Comment by angie207
• It just gets stronger if you wait. The time seems to depend on how much sprouted grain to how much water, as well as the temprature. Three to four days is pretty normal if you started with about a cup of sprouted wheat in that gallon jar, but if it'…

• Being raw only interferes with social life if you let it. ;) I eat before I go out, and then if there's something available that I like, I can eat that, too. As for dating, if a guy can't handle my eating differently than him, then I know we're like…

• The trolls: I got to where I could never know who to trust, so I stopped giving out information because I didn't know the intentions in asking for it. :P I still come & look/read/post once in a while, but I agree - it ain't like it used to be!

• Regular brown rice, white rice, wild rice, etc. are all heated during processing. "Sweet brown rice" is the only rice that is raw & will sprout. It is still pretty hard/crunchy after sprouting, but it may work if you dehydrate & grind it. Go…

• Oh, okay. I lost 40 pounds in the first three months, and then didn't lose or gain any weight for a whole year. Any weight gained or lost since then has been due to illness. I wasn't vegan, & I just ate what I felt my body needed to be healthy. …
