• I was wrong to say Fat is Fat. But too much of even the good stuff is most likely bad for people. But as far as people being different, so that some thrive on 50% fat and some thrive on 10% fat, I don't believe that. No other animals in the world ch…

• The % of fat intake is your total percentage of fat in calories for the day. So basically you must total all your calories for the day. Then total all your fat calories for the day. The divide the total fat cals by the total cals. Example: 1000 fa…

• Maybe check out the 80 10 10 diet, which is 80% carbs 10% protein 10% fat. Following something similar might help you get that fat % down to around 15-20%. I'm still waiting for the book BTW (it's in the mail), but the concept was that raw foodists …

• Ya to reach that number you would need about 4 Tbls of hemp seed: 3 bananas = 3grams 2 tbls cacao = 1 gram strawberries = 1 gram hemp seed 4 tbls = 22 grams total = 27 grams

• I know a lot of guys at work are into the protein drinks, and some guys might like this, and it would at least have them eating some raw. This would probably work better for somebody that works out, and then you can make it for him after he is done …

• Some of this stuff makes me wonder too!!! I think if it comes in a bottle, then it probably isn't made for human consumption. No other animals eat things that come in bottles, and the bottles, even though are recyclable are still hard on the environ…

• Too much fibre can also cause this, but since you are drinking lots o water I doubt that is the problem. Have you tried walking??? I have a sitdown job, and usually just walking to my car after works makes me want to go. I'm not sure how physically …

• Hi Eple, Yes , it is normal to eat a high raw diet, and then eat one cooked meal a day. Your probably eating that cooked meal with family members and that is fine. Eventually you might want to start slowly adding more raw food to that meal. Instead…

• The stricter word of the raw label would be 100% raw (which is debatable since some things that we think are raw might not be). I don't feel that these labels undermine my efforts. Over the last few months I have become more and more raw. My percent…

• "Anything else???? Come on I must be doing something else wrong!!!" You're not doing anything wrong and haven't did anything wrong. This is a support site, not a debate site. 80% Raw is really good, means that 80% of your cals comes from raw foods. …

• I have been to many raw websites, and have read a couple of RAW books. Non of the the sites, nor the books, nor the definitions of a RAW Foodist suggests that a raw foodist doensn't eat cooked food. Of course a raw foodist eats cooked foods, but the…

• chriscarlton, You have accomplished so much and that is awesome. I don't think this is about "you", but about the person asking the question. Your saying that 80% raw isn't good enough for "you" and that is fine. Obviously these people feel good ab…

• Usually 50% is good to start. You could call yourself a raw foodist after 60%. Different people/books will tell you different numbers, and like always, listen to your body. If it feels good then keep doing it!!!

• I've just ordered the book 80 10 10 Diet. I can't wait to read it , and one of the things Dr. Graham discovered in his study was that Raw Foodists were eating too much fat. So if you up your cals , you should probably try to do it more uniformly, an…

• I've been eating about 24 dates / day, but I break them up into 3 servings 8 8 and 8. Then I usually wash them down with a glass of water, to help keep the sugar off the teeth.

• I'm currently eating 24 / day for over a week now. Why 24?? Cuz one serving is about 8 dates, so I do 8 three times / day for a total of 510 calories. I'm trying to maintain my weight so these things are great!!! ;-) I'm not even 100% sure they are …
