I am vegan(almost) and won't eat meat. I also have false teeth and wonder how possible it is to eat raw veggys with false teeth? :D
I have a dehydrator and have used it for years.
Is raw food detoxing a fast first or is it just eating raw food only?
Is there someplace online I can go to that has answers for ppl like me?
And the doctor wants me to lose 80 lbs I heard you can eat all the raw food you want and you still lose weight,and fast.Is this true?

please help me out here I'm really lost and sick at this point and can't get to the libary.
thanks

You can cut the veggies into really small pieces- diced like hash.

There are so many recipes where the vegetables and fruits are blended or mixed and they do not require to much biting- as opposed to chewing.
So eating them if you have dentures should not be a problem.

Do you have problems with cooked foods? Hard cooked foods- like maybe pizza crust?

jr , at the top of this page is a search icon , click there then type in any topic you want and youll go to page after page on those topics from the archives of this site . and on raw food chewing with false teeth you could make smoothies in a blender out of the hard fruit and vegi types you want so dont have to chew . try typing in smoothies in the search bar to find some recipes for them . alot of people are making green smoothies out of say water , bananas and dark greens like spinach or kale which adds up to a very near complete meal . welcome to allisas site , goodday :)

Is raw food detoxing a fast first or is it just eating raw food only?

You can do it either way. If you fast first, you will detox faster. If you eat raw foods, you will detox, but it may take a little longer. The detox may not have as harsh symptoms.


And the doctor wants me to lose 80 lbs I heard you can eat all the raw food you want and you still lose weight,and fast.Is this true?

It depends on what raw foods you are eating. If you eat a ton of nuts and dehydrated foods, you could gain. Or you can eat a ton of watermelon, fresh fruits and fresh veggies and lose. It all depends on you and your body. Carlene (see personal journal section) lost 140 pounds. She found when she added just one handful of nuts a day, she quit losing weight. So it's a matter of you just logging what you eat and weighing yourself and see what works for you. We are each different. But for sure, you can eat more raw food than you can S.A.D. food and lose.

I was thinking about doing a fast first and then go to raw but your right I don't want it to take forever.

Just remember, if you juice fast you'll detox faster and stronger than eating raw. If you water fast it will even be faster and the detox even stronger. It is often noted that that you sould never do more than 3 days on a water fast without supervision.

Another thing, it's not just a once detox and you're done. You will go through cycles of detoxing with them getting less frequent and much milder. It takes the body a long time to totally detox depending on your age, how you have eaten in the past, if you have any diseases, if you have been on any meds and such.

Just stay on this board and read, read, read. You'll pick up on so many things from this board. You're on the right track about eating raw!!!! It's wonderful!!!!

Hi, and Welcome, I would say some nut pate's would be great for false teeth, or all the mousse and pudding, ice creams recipes, I don't eat hardly anything that needs to be super crunched like a thick carrot,


I love the nut pate's on lettuce wraps, or veggie burgers, or or or, hundreds of recipes, if you have a food processor, it's soooo much easier to make.
