  • I recall Patenaude being vocal about myths in the raw food community- he warns you to have common sense and criticizes some of the ideas that are prevalent in the community. I really appreciate voices like that. On the other hand, there are those wh…

  • I feel the same way. I think they are best for when your body is unable to perform what it was made to do on its own, such as if you are ill or suffering an injury. When you get into a regular enema habit, your body can become dependent on it and “f…

  • Wow- I never heard such negativity about cilantro. I LOVE the stuff. I could SWIM in it. Too much? Imposserous! But if people are using it to detox, that would be a lot of a single substance to take at one time. I guess even something you love could…
    in Cilantro - How much per day is safe? Comment by rawallison
  • What I like about this forum is that people are open to new ideas. Other raw forums are almost militant about not counting calories or calculating fat grams, etc. I get very frustrated at raw food restaurants because no one wants to reveal how much …
    in Weight Loss Comment by rawallison
  • You cannot say that a raw diet will cause a certain amount of weight loss. It depends on what you eat and how many calories you expend. I have a ton of weight to lose, but on a raw diet I have learned to appreciate good nutrition over a high rate of…

  • I lost 25 lbs my first month raw. Although I had lots more than 25 lbs to lose, that was extremely unhealthy for me and had very negative consequences. My problem is that when I eat 100% raw I have very little appetite and therefore have a difficult…
    in New in here and curious (weight loss) Comment by rawallison
  • That’s interesting. I have never felt energy spikes or euphoria after consuming raw foods, but it’s nice to know that some people do. Maybe one day I’ll have that experience. Writeeternity- what type of spirulina did you have? I only saw pill form a…

  • Another tongue thing: pain on sides of the tongue often points to iron deficiency. Happened to me.

  • I have never been one to have noticeable BO, raw or not raw, and I also don’t have much body hair except for my forearms (thanks dad). Raw did cause my poop to not smell anymore, though. :-)

  • DancinDurinan- you asked about the hair loss. What a nightmare, huh? The most consistent advice I got from raw foodists, doctors, nutritionists and medical websites included: 1) Eat cucumbers for the silica 2) Get more minerals in your diet 3) Incre…

    in Downsides to being RAW? Comment by rawallison
  • I guess I’m a little late to this question but I sure wish people had told me the downsides before I made my first pass at raw last year. My downside list is: 1) Lots of preparation and cleanup time and effort 2) More frequent trips to the grocery s…
    in Downsides to being RAW? Comment by rawallison
  • Hair loss is more common in raw foodists than you might think. When it happened to me last year I got a lot of flack from raw foodists on some boards for even bringing the topic up. Same with the protein issue. The fact is that we don’t all have the…
    in too much fat? help!! Comment by rawallison
  • I lost a lot of hair when I was 100% raw last year, which led me to quit the raw diet until I learned more about nutrition (and my hair grew back). Well, after a year it grew back a little, but I missed being raw so I am easing back into it. I have …

  • I’m like you, jenergy. It’s hard to know who to trust. What I’ve read is that American soy products (especially tofu) are unhealthy because of the way we manufacture it here, as oppose to the way it’s made in Asia. I eat it minimally- maybe once a m…

  • I accidentally tried the non-Haas kind and was sorely disappointed. I love the fatty avocados- and since it’s “good fat” I don’t worry about the fat content.

  • I suffered hair loss after I started the raw diet in January 2006. It was really devastating!! The three most-probable reasons that this happened to me were 1) my calorie intake was very low at first because I have a hard time eating enough calories…
