Are the glucose and fructose in fruits not simple carbs? And complex carbs would be more like starches. I don't really get why you should prefere the complex ones unless you have blood sugar issues.

I agree to you, Revvell.
When I first went raw, I tried to follow a very purist raw food direction according to which no food prepeartion at all is allowed. No Oils, Juices, Smoothis, no dehydrated...

I would suggest that you talk with your wife about eliminating very unhealthy food (like chacolate chips) from your house. Find deliciouse raw substitutes for them. So, if your family is left with...

In the beginning or raw, I felt always hungry, so I ate massive amounts of highcaloric food like sweet fruits, nuts, ect.
But now, I'm feeling better when I replace more and more fruit meals with a...

The calories have to come from sommwhere, either carbs or fat.
I know that one can feel quite heavy when you eat too many nuts at once, but if you spread your fat intake all over the day (some seeds...

Any kind of meat.

Hi,



Not all raw foodists are vegan but this forum ist a raw vegan forum.



Not raw, soy has to be heated in order to be edible.

"but meat and grain are much more available here"

Where there is meat, there is plant food, otherwise there wouldn't be animals to make meat from.

Nutritional yeast is inactive yeast. It has been heated so that it does not grow anymore. Also, I think, there is a difference between the good and the bd yeasts.
Nutritional yeast is not really...

It said so on my bag of nori. I guess, if you don't eat it ever day, you can eat more.

You can overdose on idonie. I think a tea spoon of nori per day is the maximum you should eat.

I don't doubt that and today, it is probably close to impossible to live that way in a coldish climate, because a large part of those food sources, I mentioned, have been repelled by housing,...

Hm, where I live - and this is certainly not the most suitable place for fruits - we have different kinds of berries from spring to late autumn, apples, pears, grapes and different drupes in autumn...

It is good that you are concerned about your food intake and although I don't count calories, myself, I agree that they are a good indicator how much you should eat before you have finally learned to...

I can relate to the bell pepper. I was never really able to eat them, they lay in my stomack for hours and draw so much energy from me. No problem, though, with other nightshades like tomatoes and...

You could have gotten deaf nettles, also a wild plant and very high in nutriens, similar to stinging nettles but not stingy.

With seeds it's mostly a matter at what temperatures they have been dehydrated. Most of them are dehydrated slightly to hot (45°C or so). Wether ot not I eat them, I base on wether they sproud or...

What she is saying is totally unprofessional. I would understand (athough not agree) if she was worried about all the things that are in a "normal" diet and a raw vegan diet excludes (meat, dairy,...

Hi,

What you are eating is really a lot. It's not unusual to be eating a lot when transitioning but if you gain weight although you shouldn't, it's probably too much. Eating tones of food can also...

From what I have heart, the level of iron in the blood is only partially significant when it comes to analising the iron supply of the body. The body may reduce the iron level during illness injuries...

I picked up some information that the grapes are heated so that the peal bursts, but I have also heard about raw wine. I think the bad thing about wine is not the heating but the nerve poison alcohol.

I'm just nibblining a piece of a majure coconut by itself, crunchy :-) Sometimes. I make a smoothi with coconut meat, coconut liquit and mango.

Soaked dried figs and flax seeds are great to get the digestion moving. Along with all fiberous fruits (apples, pears, pinapples, fresh figs, dates...). Cutting too low on fat can slow your digestion...

If you leave the seeds in the apple, you have a chance that an apple tree even grows out of apple chips. Dehydrated is just not as fresh, not as wholesome and maybe a bit more stressful on the...

When you introduce a new food, try mixing it with something she already knows. Idont know if mixing try food with raw meat works but maybe she will eat it and you can reduce the amount of try food...
