I totally believe in raw but I've been told I look undernourished.

[Queen Bean]

I've been into raw food for 24 years. I am unable to go 100% raw for social reasons, but am still very high raw, and sometimes have 100% days or a
string of 100% days. I am usually 100% for 5 days of the week, and on the other days am mostly raw with one cooked meal.

My problem is that I seem to lose weight quickly, even if I feel like I am stuffed with food. My arms look skinny. Overall I look skinny. I am skinny fat though, with high body fat...ie cellulite, even though I exercise regularly.

I eat a lot - fruit, smoothies (including green ones, salads, recipes...) I am not fat phobic, but lately am feeling like I need to cut down on the fat. I
actually can't comfortably eat more than I do. If I 'eat when hungry' or 'listen to my body' I don't eat enough and lose weight. I need to have regular
meals. Currently I'm eating 5 meals a day.

I have a question which has never been explained to me. That is, what is so wrong with cooked grains, pulses and legumes? I suppose I'm scared that
I'm doing damage to my body with the amount of fat I eat. I also eat a lot of fruit. I need something more than fruit and vegetables and smoothies.
Raw recipes give me that sense of satisfaction. Sometimes I can be eating raw and don't look that well. And then when I eat cooked I look better. Of
course, other times I look great on raw. I have never given up on raw, and am very enthusiastic about this way of eating. Cooked food can give me a
hangover and seem to lower my vibration. But I was thinking, what is the harm in say cooked brown rice or beans or quinoa on a salad, as this would
be a means of being satisfied without eating a lot of fat. I suppose I am worried about cutting out a food group, as I already don't eat red
meat/chicken/fish or eggs or dairy. Also, what about eating something like cooked broccoli or sweet potatoes or food that is harder to eat raw?

I'm not wanting to diss raw, as I've been an ardent raw enthusiast for years, but sometimes I get weak even though I'm eating a lot of food. (I have
had colonics, and do include supplements here and there.) This morning I felt so weak that I couldn't exercise and had to eat some toast for breakfast. I've probably had cooked food at breakfast time less than five times in the past year.

So, to encapsulate my question, why do you feel it's okay to cut out cooked grains, pulses and legumes?

[MysticTree]

You can eat sprouted seeds and grains. You are probably weak because you are not paying attention to the variety of foods needed to provide a balanced diet. Eat more often and more varied.

[walnutty]

I believe eating raw, organic foods with proper eliminations will bring you to the healthiest you can be, but that being said...

..this way of eating is not for every "body"...

I would like to suggest to you to look into Matt Monarch's writings and words (raw food world dot com and the raw food world on youtube) and I believe you may find the answers that you are seeking.

[Queen Bean]

I do tend to vary my raw diet as much as I can. In the fridge I have flax, chia, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and quinoa soaking. I don't find sprouts or sprouted
grain a pleasurable part of eating, although I really enjoy chia and flax in green smoothies. To be satisfied I need some fat. To be honest, I find green smoothies very filling and satisfying. I think eating five times a day is as often as I should eat. I've heard that it is unhealthy to not give the digestive system a rest - Kimberly
Snyder eats three times a day, and Paul Nison two. I think eating five times a day is quite a lot...although I've experimented with seven or eight. Too much!! I really feel that I am keeping my diet varied as much as I can, eating fruit, greens, vegetables, sprouts, sprouted grains, nuts, seeds, superfoods, raw recipes, smoothies,
salads, juices etc etc.

I have watched Angela and Matt's videos for years. Matt seems to eat very little. Angela's face looks healthy, but, I hate to say it, sometimes I think
Matt looks a bit sick.

I am determined to keep experimenting, and find my balance. I won't give up, as I know that raw is the way.

[Raw Angel Mom]

If you throw a little bit of little stone through the window, it won't damage it and the window will still look nice.

But if you get carry away, watch out for the scratch.

You can look into raw Essene bread. There are many ways to eat raw sprouted grain. Try to eat as much food from your area, if fruits is predominant go for that.

For maximum health, you need to consider 100% raw food, variety of food, also many different colour and most of all, eat food from your area.. Consider leafy greens and wheat grass.

Anything cook destroy with the fire or the frost will age your body period. Animal food will speed the process.

I had that problem with raw food, i went underweight my first year and started like you to eat a little bit of steam beans rice, grain etc..... it didn't help me in turn of energy.

I did many detox etc.... and this is when i did a 7 days water fast that i came to realize what have been my main problem. I had parasite dear, yes, i did. Those things were eating my B12 etc... and made me crave for those unhealthy starch that people consider healthy. 7 days water fast did the trick for me and got ride of the main problem.

If you want to eat these cook food, then so be it, this is your health and decision after all. You may want to look into detoxing deeper. Those cook food slow down the process of detox. You can consider juice fast at first. Anyway, i prefer stay away from anything cook or that come from the freezer.

Look at Dan liferenerator. He does a lot of green juice, fruits and not much grain. He looks young, fabulous and he has tone of energy. I agree that Matt Monarch doesn't look that great now, maybe he does too much nut butter. Any nut butter is hard to digest because it isn't sprout or soak.

[Queen Bean]

Thanks Raw Angel Mom.

Yeah, I really need to go 100%, but it's that social aspect that is difficult for me. I don't eat at every social thing going though. At work various people provide morning teas and some go to a lot of effort. Generally I would eat at one in ten of those.

(Are people noticing that when they post, a word gets cut at the end of a line and doesn't carry to the next?)

I think that due to the high degree of raw foods in my diet I will start to feel sicker when I eat cooked. Maybe it will get to the point where it isn't worth eating cooked. In the last week I've felt faint, nauseous and dizzy. I'm not sure what is causing that. I do know that if I ever get a life threatening illness I will go 100% raw organic.

Dan the Life Regenerator can look good, although sometimes seems weak and spacey.

Has anyone seen 'Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead'? At the start I was thinking 'how will this guy have the charisma to carry this film'? But after he fasted for a couple of months, he had heaps of charisma, good looks and looked a lot younger.

I've decided to make sure my breakfasts are large, so I get a reasonable amount of calories in the morning. After flirting a little with green smoothies in the morning, I've decided to go back to fruit before 12pm. It just feels right to me. This morning I had a smoothie of two bananas, 1 pear, some pineapple and the juice of three oranges.

[Aleesha Sattva]

So, to encapsulate my question, why do you feel it's okay to cut out cooked grains, pulses and legumes?

because adding dead food to your body is just that... dead.

i prefer live food with all it's nutrition and enzymes intact!

*And as you know... we cannot assist you to choose to eat cooked foods. This is a raw food forum - we can only assist you to make raw choices*

[Queen Bean]

Thanks Aleesha. Good point.

I suppose I was wanting people to assist me in explaining why not to eat grains, legumes and pulses. Somehow I have missed the explanation about why these items in their cooked form are damaging. There is a book called 'Grain Damage' that I may try to get hold of.

I feel that there is an angelic energy (that's the only way I can explain it) around raw foods. They seem to envelope me in a protective aura, which I suppose is due to the fact I am taking in some of their life force, which does not occur when eating dead food.

Here is an excerpt from a book called 'The Hathor Material - Messages from an Ascended Civilisation' by Tom Kenyon & Virginia Essene...

'Another thing affecting the Ka is the type of food that you eat and the type of fluids you drink - for the life-force comes in from many areas.'...'Generally speaking, to build the Ka, eating 'live' foods will assist the process, but you want to do this in balance. If you're not used to eating live foods - meaning uncooked vegetables and fruits, as well as sprouted grains, slowly begin this change. Add live foods to your diet in a way that feels comfortable.' etc etc

[rawfoodslim]

I agree with walnutty, make sure to read your body and what it is telling you. Also if you are skinny don't worry that much. It can be a sign that you are in good health. I used to be fat and then I took up a vegetarian lifestyle and running and never turned back. Now if they tell me that I look skinny, I don't mind because deep inside I feel the energy and vigor that I never experienced before.


I believe eating raw, organic foods with proper eliminations will bring you to the healthiest you can be, but that being said...

I so disagree! I wish my eyes, teeth, skin and hair looked like Matt's! He's beautiful!!!

[Queen Bean]

Walnutty, I'm so glad you wrote this, because after seeing one of his latest videos (holding Oria) I made a mental note to come back here to say how amazing he was looking in the video. He looks about fifteen years younger, with bright eyes, youthful skin and healthy hair. I'm not sure if it's just bliss from first-time fatherhood or whether he is doing something different.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

You are probably weak because you are not paying attention to the variety of foods needed to provide a balanced diet. Eat more often and more varied.
That is a very controversial statement to make. Sure it applies in most cases, But many people defy that old belief. If one eats the highest quality sunlight foods freshly picked and meditates, then a large variety of foods isn't necessary. Even the world respected Dr Brian Clements has said the same thing. Many of the amazing Hippocrates stars only eat a small variety of foods and they have a glow that most people will only dream of. When you are really doing it right you will discover that calories don't matter, it is the sunshine and vibration in the food that counts.

And yeah, very easy to get malnourished on raw if your food choices are poor. Try some sprouted greens and have lots and lots and lots every single day, that'll fix ya!!! :woot:

[MysticTree]

If one eats the highest quality sunlight foods freshly picked and meditates

Fewer people are able or willing to do that than are able and willing to eat a varietybalance of foods.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

Fewer people are able or willing to do that than are able and willing to eat a varietybalance of foods.

l hope inspiration and education will change that. People are capable of doing amazing things, but they need to have a very good reason why. The more credible people that start entering the raw movement, and the more the less credible people are exposed, then people will take the movement more seriously. The raw food movement has a shocking image and we need good honest knowledgable leaders to change that.

lf our infrastructure crumbles (and l think it will), then we be forced to live on grass and weeds. We better get prepared, there is trouble ahead from what l hear.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

One of the reasons l try not to post here much now. My views are radically different from member's here, so l try keeping out of the way now, because l am sure people must get sick of reading my posts.

This week is a real treat. Living on freshly picked blueberries all week with lots of sunflower green and grass juice and algae. l am a big believer in blue and green foods and have chosen to make this a yearly event. Last year l ate blueberries and alfalfa sprouts for an entire month, it was so good.

The bottom line is that one day the sun will no longer exist. Won't matter if we can eat weeds or not. In the short-term, the earth needs a dramatic reduction in human population.

Do tell me that you grow enough of the plants that you eat (at the sprouted stage) to maturity so that you can save enough of the seed for future meals. If you don't then you should probably start thinking about it.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

Very true. That's why we need to eat greens and use the sun and meditate, so we evolve and leave this Earth. One day we go home and live in spirit form (light) and only appear in physical form when visiting places like Earth. l've wanted to go home for 20 years, l think we all know deep down that we have lived on other planets before, and l am sure we will again once we evolve and learn to do the right thing and have love and compassion.

Oh yeah, Supreme Master Ching Hai says the sun is actually a 5th level being. lt is not a giant ball of gas like scientists/nasa claim.


In the short-term, the earth needs a dramatic reduction in human population.
lt is supposed to be a done deal. The illuminati want it down to 500 million, they say that 500 million slaves is enough to run the world well. They don't need the money anymore, the trillionare families have more than enough to finance the best of the best and have access to technology 100 years more advanced than what the media and world leaders (big business) have us believe. We landed on Mars in 1962 and actually travelled out of the solar system in 1983 l believe. Have you seen the scans of Mars where it shows a city the size of Chicago under the ground? There are alot of amazing things we aren't being told, but some people do know, but what's more...even one of the world's top spiritual masters mentioned about Mars years before. lf we don't stop raising livestock, we will end up like Venus did (global warming)...luckily Mars had a near escape, but they lost all their animals and plant life and now have to live under the ground and ration food. This is just the mild stuff, l won't talk about the full on stuff, you'd never believe me.

Got to do it for an emergency. But the ultimate plan is just to live on grass and weeds, or even take it further if l feel l can.

In the level of crisis that you talk of I don't think taking it further will be an option.

You talk of having credible people in the raw world. You really come across as a crank (I mean that in the old-fashioned sense and without meaning to offend but I can't think of a better word) with your extreme lifestyle. I have no doubt but that you are a nice, good person but you won't persuade people by coming out with the extreme stuff you come out with. People need to crawl before they can walk but already you want them to travel through space!

[therawmichelle]

Queen Bean, sounds like you need more carbohydrates and protein in your diet, not fat.

Have you tried making raw breads and eating those instead of toast for breakfast? Try including highly nutritious things into your diet, like chia seeds, flax seed, sprouted grains, seaweeds and legumes. Try consuming home-made tahini and humus. Go for nut cheeses. They can entirely replace regular cheese and are very filling. Add dates to your meals, they are high in sugars and can give you more energy.
Try adding things like pureed squash and sweet potato to your diet as well.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

In the level of crisis that you talk of I don't think taking it further will be an option.
lt sounds like it could be that way, but some will survive. The eating of flesh is the biggest problem we face here on Earth, it is the curse that causes our downfall.



You talk of having credible people in the raw world. You really come across as a crank (I mean that in the old-fashioned sense and without meaning to offend but I can't think of a better word) with your extreme lifestyle.
That's always going to be an issue. l need to decide...do l tone it down so l don't blow people out, or do l go full on and tell the real story and be called a crank and not be taken seriously. The same thing happened to my hero Kulvinskas; he was so advanced for his time (greatest legend in the raw food movement) because he was so enlightened through grass juice and meditation that he got visions and picked up on universal truths, the same thing has happened to me, he very much reminds me of myself (the same way of thinking). l never just wanted to think how he did, l naturally thought how he did because of `enlightenment'. When you become enlightened you life is never the same, you know the basic truths and know your purpose.



you won't persuade people by coming out with the extreme stuff you come out with. People need to crawl before they can walk but already you want them to travel through space!
You are so right. When l talk to people l am really careful to take it slow with them and not say too much, but my printed material cuts out the pussy footing around and gets straight into the depths. When l write l don't want to make compromises, l want to right about how to achieve the best health and lifestyle possible. l don't want to water down my advice, l want it pure...pure universal truth. The problem is that people often don't understand the extremely high level thinking of people like Kulvinskas and Hilton Hotema, so they follow their words blindly and end up getting sick. Maybe l should do it the safest way and teach a version of the Hippocrates diet, it is a compromise, but it's a brilliant diet that that ordinary folks can do.

But thanks to the excellent work of Dr Valerie Hunt and Dr Brian Clement, l can now talk about food vibrations and sunlight foods when l talk to people because there is now the science to back it up. l don't know of any raw food leader who has such good science to back up what they say. Brian is a raw food superstar for the average unenlightened person.

lf l do some lectures l will have to be very very careful to tone it down or people will dismiss me and walk out. Gotta be relatable and do baby steps as you say.

Brian Clement is in the same position. He could write about all this stuff too, but he knows he will lose all credibility if he does and Hippocrates will become the public joke it was in the 50's, 60's and 70's. He could say some amazing things, but he sticks strictly to the science, that's why he has earned such a lot of respect by top health people and clients.

l wouldn't dare write about the real out there stuff on here, it is just so far out that most people wouldn't be able to handle it. Real life is so much crazier than the craziest fiction story.

Seriously Mr. Raw, I enjoy your posts but I don't agree with many of your beliefs and DEFINITELY disagree that anyone on this board can't handle or understand any of your theories!

I was also confused by your referencing Supreme Master Ching Hai, who isn't a sproutarian -- or even a raw foodist! She's just a vegan and only recently converted from lacto-ovo vegetarianism.

In my opinion, every member of this board is worthy of the respect due someone who holds themselves to an even higher standard than this.

Anyhow, just my opinion! :heart:

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

Seriously Mr. Raw, I enjoy your posts but I don't agree with many of your beliefs
Not many folks would agree with my theories either, no problem.


and DEFINITELY disagree that anyone on this board can't handle or understand any of your theories!
l thought that might have come across not so good. l don't mean to say that anyone is dumb, it is just that alot of people don't bother tapping into the spirit world, so eventhough many could appreciate the spirit world somewhat, they are not going to really be on the same wavelength of knowledge unless they are doing the same thing themselves. How can a person know about this properly unless he does it?


I was also confused by your referencing Supreme Master Ching Hai, who isn't a sproutarian -- or even a raw foodist! She's just a vegan and only recently converted from lacto-ovo vegetarianism.
She has been a mixture, but last year she mentioned that she is a fruitarian. Lives on half an orange a day. She could go breatharian, but she needs to be relatable.


In my opinion, every member of this board is worthy of the respect :
Of course, we all try doing good things and we avoid animal products which deserves immense respect.

l think you have misread my comments abit, but i've been up all night and i'm not taking as much care writing as l should be.

Regards: Mr Raw.

[qwerty988]

With all due respect, the supreme master is not a friuitarian. I have purchsed her cookbooks recently -- which are vegan -- and eaten at her restaurants which do NOT serve any raw food whatsoever.

She has only RECENTLY become a vegan as opposed to lacto-ovo vegetarian..... I'm curious to see when and where she's become a raw foodist, sproutarian, or fruitarian! This is news to me and several of her followers. Half an orange a day is NOT the message I received here in Pittsburgh hahahahaa!

As for breathtarian? Nope, not one whisper.

I don't believe I've misread your comments, I've enjoyed reading them! I just don't think that I -- or anyone else here -- aren't prefectly capable of fully understanding anything you post here.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

Just quickly again about this quote:

I don't agree with many of your beliefs and DEFINITELY disagree that anyone on this board can't handle or understand any of your theories!
This is not meant as an ego thing, this is more a communication issue than a knowledge issue. lt's not my knowledge l am sharing, it is the knowledge l have picked up from the cosmos, it's all our knowledge, it's just some folks aren't as honed in on the spirit stuff.


With all due respect, the supreme master is not a friuitarian. I have purchsed her cookbooks recently -- which are vegan -- and eaten at her restaurants which do NOT serve any raw food whatsoever.
l have seen a video of where she tells people she is fruitarian.

She doesn't encourage raw, but she does encourage veganism. She says it is not necessary to be raw, that's why her restaurants aren't raw. Sure the cooked food might not be good for our physical health, but that is not the point, the point is to evolve and go back home, or at least go to better worlds to continue the journey. Anyway, if she stated that everyone be raw then many people would miss out on the benefit of being a Quan Ying member because most people wouldn't want to be raw.

l'll get back to you on this hopefully, but it will take me time to find the link.

True, she has never wanted to be breatharian. lf you know who she is and are a Quan Ying member, you will know what she is capable of. Obviously she is capable of being breatharian if she wants to.


I don't believe I've misread your comments, I've enjoyed reading them! I just don't think that I -- or anyone else here -- aren't prefectly capable of fully understanding anything you post here.
l never used to be capable of understanding the posts l make now. lt is not because l was too dumb to understand, it was just that my spiritual chanels weren't open enough to really understand how man lives forever and appears as light etc, l could appreciate such things, but l couldn't really understand it because l hadn't seen light beings before, l think that is fair enough. lf you aren't enlightened by a master, how can the chanels be fully open to relate spiritual talk? Everyone is capable of understanding (we all have the spiritual function), but many of us have our pineal gland not as active to relate to lots of the crazy stuff l mention.

l thought we had talked about this before, maybe l am missing something today? We are not connecting in our communication at all today, wish l hadn't come back now. All l am doing is wasting my time defending myself. Defending myself online is not my style, so i'm not doing it anymore, but l will try and find the link about Fruitarianism.

mr. raw, we have never communicated before today.

there's nothing you can post later about this as the supreme master is not a breathetarian, sproutarian or fruitarian.

No, but our communication today is still pretty poor.

l am 95% sure that l heard her say it on one of the videos about either; Mars, Venus or the Sun. She also talks about the big underground city on mars and shows the actual scan.

Can you please help me find this link by listening to this link below:
http://suprememastertv.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=bmd&wr_id=636

l will listen to the Mars and Sun videos. Hopefully l find the link in those.

Late edit: l don't recall ever mentioning that Master was sproutarian or breatharian. Gee, our communication really is poor today, l feel l am writing in a foreign language to you.

[qwerty988]

mr raw, my point was, everyone here has a better diet than the supreme master, so maybe you should stop pressuring people to be sproutarian.

[Mary Kay]

Back to the OP --Queen Bean ---why don't you REALLY try to get to the bottom of why you're not feeling up to par, and go to a functional doc and get some testing done?

[snoops]

I dont feel that he is pressuring people to be sproutarian any more than people who discuss juicing or even just raw are necessarily pressuring people. Just discussing:)

I agree. I enjoy reading his viewpoint. I know some think Mr. Raw is "out there" but I think he has some good points. I don't want to be a sproutatarian either as I lean more toward 811rv.

[qwerty988]

I always take his posts with a grain of salt.... I don't really care about it for me, but I do worry about the newbies. People who are new to raw -- or are here because of Alissa's philosophy -- don't need to be told they must consume such a large portion of their diet in sprouts.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

I dont feel that he is pressuring people to be sproutarian any more than people who discuss juicing or even just raw are necessarily pressuring people. Just discussing:)
Exactly. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Pressure doesn't work, but trying to plant seeds can work. l have no interest in really talking about sprouts and grasses with the members here who have been here for a while because most have probably read my posts and know what l talk about over and over again, in actual fact, l kinda wish that all the long termers would put me on ignore. What l want to do is talk to the new posters and try giving them some solid health information with the hope that they will do some research on sprouts and give them a try; see, the problem is that sprouts are very misunderstood things, people think they are puny little things to be used as a top up to salads and that they don't have much value, but l try and set the record straight and try to get people to understand that they are the finest foods put on earth and nothing touches them. People can do what they want, but l just want people to get good information so they can get the best possible start when going raw.

People don't have to live my lifestyle, but l reckon if they understand that sprouts are miracle foods and they understand the importance of having them everyday, then that is great knowledge to have. So when they do Alissa's food plans and add in sprouts, they can carve out a lifestyle that is do-able, interesting and very very powerful.

Alissa's diet = fun and good for average raw food folks. But add in the sprouts (because you know how good they are), then the diet rises to a whole new level. Why not include a wheatgrass juice before breakfast, and why not chomp on a big bowl of sprouts before you enjoy the treat of some of Alissa's recipes?

Sometimes l will go away for a while so l don't wear out my welcome here. Posting here is very inefficient for me, posting on my website is much more productive.

but I do worry about the newbies. People who are new to raw -- or are here because of Alissa's philosophy -- don't need to be told they must consume such a large portion of their diet in sprouts.
l just want to give them ideas to think about because l knew how greatful l was when l found out about sprouts. Some people will run with the idea and start using sprouts because they will start to learn how great they are, but many won't run with the idea. l don't care either way, l just want to present the info so they are aware.

I feel quite lucky in that I have always known about sprouts. My father was very keen on them although he ate them with foods unmentionable on this forum ;o)
