• It is not physiologically impossible to get fat on fruit. Fruit doesnt have some special inbuilt system that makes it void of calories. Yes fruit is probably one of the lower calorie foods but eat 7k + calories a day whilst sedentary you will put on…

• I guess you just have to accept thats the way they want to eat at the moment, but nothing is permanent as you know. Try getting you daughter to include more fresh fruit/vegetables etc so that it balances her diet more. Focus on yourself at the momen…

• With b12 its easy enough to consume a sublingual b12 supplement or if your lucky b12 injections so there isnt really a need to go back to meat for the b12 issues. There isnt a great deal of difference with raw or unraw seaweeds or nuts in my opinio…

• Many of the gourmet raw recipes are some of the hardest recipes to create. It takes abit of time to master many of them. Im not the best at doing recipes myself but i have mastered one or two, that even my non raw friends love.

• It is quite a rare oil and i agree. Just now i mainly use chia seed as my main omega -3 source but i would likely supplement with algae oil if it was easier to find.

• What helped me was eating healthy also, but if i do ever slip up i dont be hard on myself anymore, the only person it ends up hurting is myself and i never want to go back to that mental stress. As long as im eating healthy the majority of the time …

• It does sound as if you have issues with eating and possibly disorder, have you tried talking to a professional. I also used to have major problems when it came to eating but my problem was if i ate anything remotely unhealthy id beat myself up ment…

• Weight gain is dependent on one thing consuming more calories than you expend. So yeah you can become overweight then eventually obese by consuming more calories than your using up. All i meant was dont go too heavy on the grains, nothing wrong wit…

  in Raw vs cooked carrots Comment by powerlifer
• Sure it is, just dont go overboard on the grains Sweet. I dont see how saying just because its cooked it isnt optimal, its been shown to have higher levels of nutrients cooked. Not everything is the best raw.  

  in Raw vs cooked carrots Comment by powerlifer
• Yeah many foods such as carrots are better cooked. There are some i choose to steam/cook also such as the vegetables which contain goitrogens(compounds that interfere with thyroid function) such as broccoli, kale etc. Its all fine being raw but if i…

• When you go vegan you basically eliminate every source of iodine minus fruits and vegetables which its debatable if they even contain any iodine with how the soil is these days. I didnt realise this for a few years until i started getting alot of pr…

• Hey, tofu is fine, infact it has many health benefits such as protecting against various cancers, bone health, balancing hormones and so on. This is largely due to the phyto-estrogens contained in tofu/soya:). Also rich in protein, vitamins, minera…

• I know that i was only basing it on what you have posted, same goes with chard id be afraid to consume that in any quantity due to the goitrogenic issue. What calorie tracker did you use for this and is it fairly easy to use? I wonder what the cal …

  in High protein raw diet? Comment by powerlifer
• I wish one of the high fruit/low fat raw fooders would punch the details into a calorie counter to see how much fruit and veg we need to take in the protein RDA i.e 0.8-1g per kg. If you could do that for me superfood it would be most appreciated. …

• No problem with fats in moderate quantities, most of the nuts and seeds are rich in good fats anyway. Its just if your using lots of them throughout the day your calories from fat might be abit on the high side. It would be hard to tell without usin…

• Im not a 100% raw anymore myself so i do eat cooked vegan dishes which like your having for dinner obviously is an easy way to up your protein intake. I felt no different 100% raw than high raw with cooked vegan meals, and i enjoy my vegan cooking s…

  in High protein raw diet? Comment by powerlifer
• Hey, you dont need as much protein as some like to believe, but the general guideline is 1gram of protein per kg of bodyweight. You can use some caloric calculator such as fitday to see what your getting in an average day. good raw sources of prote…
