how to gain weight

I just had a chance to ask the question about how to gain weight on raw food to Dr. Gabriel Cousins M.D. and apart from many of the things already mentioned in this thread he added that you should look at two more things:

1. Taking enzyme supplements for better assimilation of nutrients

2. Make sure you have no parasites in your intestines. In order to know this you should have your stool examined by a specialist. When there are parasites present no amount of food will be able to let you gain weight, because you are just feeding the parasites and they like raw foor just like any other food.

I'm verry glad to hear all the problems people are having with avoiding weight loss. Perhaps that means that I could lose some weight!! I'm 188 lbs. and can't seem to lose.

Perhaps I'm talking too early however I wonder if almond and macademian pates and bunches of nuts are very high in calories and even when they are raw continue to support my pre raw weight....

And if this is the case here perhaps it can serve as an answer to those who want to gain some healthy weight....

High calories concentrated raw food...such as macademian pates...so far for me has been the highest and how about adding lots of avocadoes and bananas...

Macademian pate taste really good specially if you mix it with something like mock tuna salad with lots of avocadoes....give it a try...sounds fattening

Hi everyone

Just been reading some of your comments and I completely understand where your coming from. It can be quite difficult to sustain a healthy weight on the raw food diet. I've been eating about 10 bananas a day, loads of seeds, nuts and veggie juices and it's working ok for me. 10 bananas and 5 mangoes gives you 2000 calories. Hope this helps

I have read that Quantum eating on the raw food diet, is for those who have been raw for a long time. If you have only been raw for under a year or so you may still be detoxing and if so with this amount of fasting toxins leak into the blood strem and the liver will have to work extremley hard to eliminate the toxins
