  • I see quality protein intake as a problem for many Vegan Raw Fooders. I'll have to admit I do consume some free range organic eggs and certain kinds of fish, so I am not a Vegan, but i do find the use of hemp protein to be beneficial. I also consume…
  • Thanks for the info. Yea, maybe the ones I got were not quite mature. I'll check them out.
  • It's not that I have any "problems", its that they are processed and not technically not "raw". And I was a little off in that the cashew itself is not toxic, but the shell is. But actually they are quite bitter "raw". Have you have ever had a reall…
  • Sydney, I have also been doing some yoga and I would not say that it is light exercise. I consider myself to be in good shape and yoga gives me a pretty good workout. I guess it also depends on who is leading your classes and what they are having yo…
  • Well, thats awfully nice of you to make sure your boyfriend gets enough juice, too bad he does not have the same concern for you. My initial suggestion is to find a new boyfriend. Outside of that, my wife and I jucie every day and we buy a 25lb bag …
  • I always saw diet as a personal choice and fortunately my family never gave me much grief about it even thought it was quite different. I'm not sure why any family members would take your diet changes "the wrong way". Your diet choices effect your b…
  • Never said I follow the bible. I am a Spiritualist and you are 100% right.

  • You are right on some points Bro. I have more respect for your opinion than some others here. At least you are an athelete. But as with any diet, you can always find people who go to extremes and end up sick, fat, or lethargic(vegan included). I hav…

  • No, I did not google it. Try that yourself and see what you get. I just posted it because it has direct quotes from the bible regarding its take on diet. Anyways, yes, the original topic was: what qualifies as raw food? and I got two different takes…

  • Oooops, I missed that Quakwatch.com review of Rev. George at the bottom there. That does sound rather harsh, but I think it was in response to what this Rev. was doing and not so much directed towards vegetarians in general. Anyways, sorry, no offen…

  • Jon, I'm sorry I took your "friendly teasing" the wrong way. I guess something is lost in this type of communication. Well, I dont think I have posted anything here promoting a Paleo diet and I certainly don't eat everything on that diet. OK, so you…

  • I agree with you 100%. As far as what the bible says about meat, maybe you should have read the link. I don't think I mentioned anything about being a "bad Christian". I'm just confused about your deduction.

  • Jon, I did not know you ran this site or that your opinion represents all the members here. I am here because I love raw food and understand the benefits of eating it. No, I am not a vegan. I have eaten this way in past as well as practiced a Macrob…

  • I live in Florida so we get pretty fresh fruit here. So if enzymes are not important, then whats the benefit of eating raw?
  • Shelli, To address some of your questions more directly: I would highly recommend a book called "Anni's Raw Food Kitchen". It has a lot of good recipies and ideas to base your diet on. I also have the same blender and food processor you have as well…
  • A lot of talk about coffee and caffiene here but there are a lot of contradicting studies comming out about the benefits and detriments of coffee. Maybe decaf is the way to go just to be safe. Get rid of the caffiene and keep the antioxitants. I gue…
  • I love raw and vegan foods, but am not a vegetarian. I was also wondering what whould happen if everyone ate a vegan diet, I came across this website recently and it answers part of that question: http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/vegetarian.html
  • Peace to you Jon. I know we have had some back and forth here but I certainly have no problems with strict raw vegans. They certainly must be much more healthy than those who base their diets on meat. Even though I am not strict, many still view me …
  • Was the haha meant to be a belittling remark? I was not addressing you, nor was I interested in arguing with a vegan about what the optimal diet for a human being is. I read the articles in question and responded to them accordingly. Maybe you shoul…
  • Sounds like good arguments from both sides. The question is what works best or is most acceptable for you? I personally always try to eat organic, eat some foods cooked. eat eggs and some dairy rarely , consume certian types of seafood occasionally,…
  • Exactly ! I'm afraid its a personality flaw I have that leads me to this fanatical side. I tend to always want to go all or nothing. And if anyone here thinks its easy to eat 100% raw, 100% organic, get 100% of the nutrients the body needs 100% of t…
  • Oooops, sorry, maybe I used to harsh of a term. Its probably just I that finds a 100% raw vegan organic diet to be so expensive and difficult to maintain. Kudos to you and keep up your awesomeness. And yes, I also find it easy to care for animals an…
  • Carla, If you prefer to be "labeled" a Raw Vegan, then I gess you would have to follow the somewhat fanatic obsession of making sure everything you eat falls within the "raw" definition. I personally find this type of practice to be exhaustive and s…
  • I can relate to the demands of intense exercise and pushing your body to the limits. The human body is capable of so much more than most people are willing to push it to. You just have to be in the right physical and mental condition to get yourself…
  • well, you can pick up a good masticating juicer for around $200 delivered. I just picked one up for my mother. I personally own a high end centerfugal juicer(Acme) that does a nice job for about the same price only it does not juice leafy vegetables…
  • Hey Doc, Thanks for your reply. I'm glad to see another Crossfitter here. I am not on the Paleo diet, but a lot of the guys where I train talk about it. I hear there is a lot of meat in it. I guess I have to look more into that diet. I have limited …
  • Thanks for the link. I will check it out. Although I have an idea what it takes to do Ironman, I do not think this type of training or competition is best for the body. Any intense repetitive exercise thends to have a catabolic effect on the muscles…
  • Yes, you are right, sleep is important. I have read as much as 9 1/2 hours in "50 Secrets of the Worlds Longest Living People" is needed. I'm afraid I have to work more on that myself. I usually do not eat anything right before a workout other than …
  • Breakfast: Ground flaxseed pancakes with almond and raw coconib pudding and bananas on top and yes, organic coffee. Post workout: Coconut milk hemp protein and avacado smoothie. Brunch: Veggie spring rolls with kimchi . Lunch: Vegan organic chili(ye…
