• I attended Dr. Cousens' diabetic program about four years ago and stayed at the center for four weeks. I am still basically on phase 1 and I love it. Just push through in the beginning and you will feel so much better. Drink a lot of water and be ki…

• Take a look at Dr. Jason Fung's website/blog. This is the only way I've been able to lose weight in the past 6 years.

• Sarahf -- Rolled oats and rye flakes are not raw. They are heated in the rolling process. Maple syrup, of course, is also not raw. But they do sound good. Try subbing sprouted buckwheat if you want it to be truly raw.

• I'm looking for the raw bacon recipe that uses eggplant. Anyone remember that?

  in Raw Bacon Recipe - what happened to it? Comment by sueko
• Well, yeah, I have. I have also used stevia or xylitol when I want sweet, but I have found that without sugar (refined, honey, dates, fruit, etc.) in my diet I don't really have a desire for sweet foods. I love eating a purely savoury raw vegan diet.

• Suede Hills, I am not looking for something sweet to eat. If you (and so many others) had read my original post, I am looking for savoury ideas. I have been to Dr. Cousen's retreat center and have been instructed to eat NO FRUIT. This has worked ver…

• Intersting that swayze refers to Patenaude who is no longer a raw foodist. IMHO that much fruit (sugar) is a slippery slope. I would tend to go with Adnexal's suggestions especially how to NOT eat (check out Jason Fung, M.D.'s website and blog, has …

• In response to the comments earlier in this post, fats have virtually no effect on blood sugar levels. The reason diabetics are put on low fat diets is simply to lower their caloric intake since fats have 9 calories versus proteins and carbohydrates…

• I take a liquid B-12 supplement given to me by my naturopath who checks my blood levels from time to time. Most people, (80% of the US population) vegan or not, are now B-12 deficient. (Probably due to our deteriorating soil, air and water quality).…

• I have all 3 books and I would recommend Jennifer Cornbleet's book first, Ani Phyo;s book second and Angela Stoke's book third. If you are just starting out, may I also recommend "Rawsome" by Bridget Mars and Alissa Cohen's book, Living on Live Food…

• I don't think it is necessary to eat a lot of food. Personally I found that my appetite went down when I went raw, I am definitely satisfied with less food, no more cravings now that the cooked stuff is out of my system. I think the best thing to do…

• I eat 100% raw, no cooked foods, no binging. No fruit or grains. Works for me. Your liver will make enough sugar (glucose) for your body through a process called glyconeogenesis. ALL carbohydrates are converted to glucose and by that means our bodie…

• I love lentil sprouts, they are my all time favorite, not as starchy as some of the bean sprouts and very crunchy. Sunflower seeds do NOT have to be sprouted in soil, sunflower greens should be unhulled and grown in soil in a tray, but you can sprou…

• Harmony - If you have type 2 diabetes, then the 80/10/10 is not a good choice. It is meant more for athletes and has so much carbohydrate and sugar that it raises most people's blood sugar. Look into the Dr. Gabriel Cousens books. He is the diabetes…

• I took a class with Shanti Cousen's in which we made raw Challah and it was wonderful. I'd post the recipe, but I'm hundreds of miles from home where the recipe is and I won't be home for a week. It's probably the one in the book, though. We made it…
