• I don’t recall any raw foodist saying that they lost weight fast. What I have read is that people feel that they have found the right path to health. I too feel that this is the right path to health. Eating chemicals, dead foods and diet pills won’t…

• Of course, baking yourself in the sun will damage your skin. I have worn moisturizer since I was in my 20s. Excessive calorie diets are related to aging also. Your body is working harder to process those extra calories.

• Green smoothies I read that you can tell a person has been consuming a lot of nuts because you can see mold in their blood. My latest interest is in bananas. A lot of people think of the tropical fruits as bads, but tropicals are suppose to be the m…

• I’m probably different than a lot of people. But here’s my take (1) Nuts have been known to cause problems for people. They say that nut consumers have a high amount of mold. I wouldn’t consume nuts as a way of boosting calories. I’d instead consume…

• Stomach distension isn’t a normal thing produced by a healthy diet. It should go away with the raw diet, but don’t expect it to go away over night. Expect that it could take a year or two. Regular exercise and a proper diet (variety of raw things) w…

• It’s good to get away from places with negative energy. I try now to only talk about what I eat if people specifically want to know. At my 25 year hs reunion, one of the people said that I must be doing yoga or pilates or something. Yes I did yoga f…

• I have only heard objections about the way I eat from people who are obese. One I found ultra irritating. I told my mother about her. Rumor has it that she recently has undergone a gastric by pass. So hopefully she won’t be bothering everyone else a…

• They probably don’t know what a raw food diet is. I ran into an old high school chum who told me how good I look. I told him I’d been on a raw food diet for more than a year. He said something like “it’s great how companies are able to can food righ…

• The posting in this thread have been super informative. Why parsley tea? Why not just juice (put in a blender with a little water) the parsley?

• When I was younger, I did the ramen, oatmeal, pop tart budget thing. Going raw is actually better for your budget in the long run because you won’t spend extra money on clothes (you’ll look good in all clothes), you won’t spend extra money on skin p…

• As I recall, the dairy gas is like a gas that makes you uncomfortable but doesn’t come out. Vegetable and fruit gas definitely comes out. A grapefruit, a banana and a peach. I hope that isn’t breakfast lunch and supper. It’s definitely not what we’d…

  in will I gain weight if I go lower raw? Comment by itourist
• Vegans don’t eat dairy. Consuming dairy products can not only make you feel hungry, but it’ll also slow up/sludge your system. I think I’d blame the dairy eating on bloaty belly problems and not the fruit. Your calorie count is too low and your exer…

• If you stink, then you should consider wearing a deoderant to not offend people around you. I don’t want to smell anyone’s B.O. I’m not sure how long it takes for the B.O. to go away. If you eat meats or dairy, it’s not going to go away.

• When you stop drinking milk and consuming milk products, you notice a visible difference in the amount of plaque in your mouth. There’s hardly any there. Also, consuming greens is suppose to have an alkalyzing effect on your body that would reduce B…

• I have heard the argument so long that I don’t get involved. I think the more raw food you can eat and less processed or unnatural foods the better off a person will be. It’s often people that have less than desirable health touting meat and dairy.

• You might try to add a green drink at the end of the day or eat celery. Celery is suppose to curb hunger. I have added bananas to my diet in the last month. I have noticed that I am a little hungrier than I am ordinarily. But I think it helps increa…

• When I turned 25, I started getting break outs. I think that dairy is definitely a culprit, but there can be other culprits like excess nuts. I had a surge of break outs when I went raw. I had removed dairy but had drank almond milk and consumed wal…

• Because of the topic listed, I almost didn’t read your post. It looked like someone not committed to health who was trying to “diet” perhaps to lose weight. You don’t have to do everything to benefit from raw foods. I don’t sprout seeds. Of course t…

• I think that eating dairy products and meat products can create imbalances in the body that lead to obesity or dietary problems.

• I think the raw diet detoxes the body. I am not sure why someone would want to fast. To me it seems like it would stress your body; and it certainly wouldn’t address the problem of learning to eat healthy for life. (one extreme to me could lead to t…

• It has a lot of good info. Info wise, it may be one of the best. I do recall there being bread sandwiches in there. I would not be tempted to eat those. But bread lovers might like that. I am greater than 60% raw myself.
