| Raw Food Reality http://www.drmcdougall.com/medical_nutrition.html I don't want to rain on the raw food parade... BUT I encourage everyone interested in following a 100% raw food diet to read the Dr. McDougall nutrition link above. The McDougall Diet (human being diet) is based on "starches" and, though I enjoy raw food, most of it is fats and sugar (nuts & fruit). I definitely enjoy raw food restaurants and raw veggies, but the majority of my diet is based on starch. If you take the time to read Dr. McDougall or visit his clinic I think your's will be, too :) Post Date: 07/03/14, Replies: 7 | ||
| Raw Vs. Cooked Wondering if anyone has an opinion about this message that was sent to me?: Q: I've heard that cooking destroys nutrients. Would it be better to eat only raw foods? A (un-named MD): Many people believe that fresh fruits and vegetables always contain more nutrients than cooked ones, but cooked carrots have higher levels of antioxidants than fresh carrots. Cooking carrots in the presence of a small amount of oil or butter increases the amount of two antioxidants called beta carotene and phenolic acid. Cooking also increases the amount of lycopene you get from tomatoes. Cooking breaks the plant cells open to increase the absorption of these antioxidants and other beneficial plant chemicals. Adding a little oil or butter increases absorption of fat soluble chemicals. Some vitamins are affected by cooking, but you'll still get plenty. The enzymes in food that are destroyed by heat are of no use to you; your body makes the enzymes you need to digest your food. Most of the nutrients in food (minerals, proteins, fats, carbohydrates) are not destroyed by heat, and many common foods are unpalatable or unsafe if they are not cooked. I recommend eating the widest possible variety of fruits and vegetables, raw or cooked, and fresh, frozen, canned or dried. For more on food enzyems see http://www.drmirkin.com/nutrition/1451.html Post Date: 11/16/10, Replies: 7 | ||

| Excalibur Food Dehydrator I am considering getting a food dehydrator, particularly Excalibur (4 tray). Is there anyone here that uses it regularly, that can encourage or discourage me from getting it? I am not looking to go fully raw, but I really want to incorporate that into out life in a significant way. I have a cook book that I like, and many of the recipes call for food dehydrator. (Going Raw by Judita Wignall) Thank you in advance. Post Date: 11/23/16, Replies: 5 | ||
| Raw foods and particularly grains Hmmm ... where to start ... I'm looking to incorporate more grains in my diet. Part of the goal would be to lose weight. Have my body work more to process the food. Fibre is good. Also I'm a diabetic (type 2) - need to weigh up anything that will eventually convert to glucose. I eat loads of fruit - which I generally consider better than most other things I might be tempted to eat. I like my veges too. I eat when hungry - except my evening meal. I eat some processed cereals, a wheat-bix (Australia) hi-grain and also some all bran cereal. I guess in part I want something that is readily edible - including while at work (office environment). Something with reasonable protein would be good. Low GI would be good. While I don't want to more away from eating a lot of fruit - I probably eat at least 35 pieces of fruit per week (about 30 bananas) And to top it all off - I'd hope whatever ideas you might have would point to some grains that are somewhat attractive to eat. Or at least not bland and dry. Any thoughts? Regards, Russell. Post Date: 03/12/08, Replies: 4 | ||
| Just eat some wonderfull raw cheesecake... and wanting to make it myself. I was in Camden London and there is a vegan/ eco place. Sadly all the other warm things had gone so I picked a slice of raw vegan cheesecake to eat and a vegan raw bonbon. Both were great (sadly the bonbon was not made with slave free cacao, they claimed never to have heard about slave free cacao but here in the netherlands we have slave free chocolat even the fairtrade cacao isn't slave free) but now I want to make cheesecake for my hubby. Just like I had it. I can say there was a bottom made out of nuts (well that is what I tasted) and the cheese cake was made with Cocos and some fruitjuice but more I've no clue. Normally I eat mostly vegetarian food (because of my foodallergies I have to) and I would check my cookbooks but none of them have this cake in it. Who is helping me out with this?

| broccoli, kale, bok choy bad for thyroid? I just read that eating the above veggies raw cut off the iodine and stunt the thyroid. My wife and I are eating so many of these foods raw. Our green smoothies and also spinach, collard greens etc. We are newly raw and want to lose weight. So far we haven't lost a thing and I am scared that we will be messing up our thyroid, thus making it even more difficult to lose. We are putting in our calories and are between 1300-1600. We have never eaten better and are feeling so frustrated. Post Date: 01/18/15, Replies: 3 | ||

| Raw Food info Being relatively new to raw foods, I have been looking for raw food resources and I found a good one. It’s at www.rawsummit.com. You can call in and hear information from raw food experts such as Dr. Gabriel Cousens and David Wolfe. Also has anyone seen the trailer for the new film Raw for 30? It's a film about diabetics who eat a raw food diet for 30 days and how they reverse their diabetes. The trailer looks amazing! Take a look at www.rawfor30days.com. I'm eager to talk to anyone who is into raw foods and what his/her experience has been with raw foods. Thanks, Josh Post Date: 08/10/08, Replies: 2 | ||

| B-12? I've been incorporating more raw foods into my diet and feel great. I have Ani Phyo's 15 day fat blast and was thinking starting it in the new year and then consume a combination of raw and cooked vegan foods after, but one nutrient I'm concerned about is B-12. I suppose I could just keep taking a multi-vitamin, but I was wondering if there is a raw vegan source of B-12? Ani doesn't seem to cover this. Post Date: 08/13/16, Replies: 2 | ||

| Aack! Tofu! Hello everybody! I've been wanting to ask advice on how to start liking tofu. The problem is, I used to eat it just fine but one day I decided to make tofu nuggets. I must have messed up the cooking something fierce, as I ended up getting tofu tummy. Now every time I try to eat it, my body gags reflexively. The only time where it isn't an issue is when the tofu is prepared by a chef, but even then I can only stomach so much. I really want to get used to and like tofu (or tempeh)! It's cheap, easy to prepare, and versatile. Plus, it makes it easy when visiting relatives. Does anyone have any ideas to curb my tastes back to tofu? All your help is appreciated, thank you!

| morning starchmunchers Before you decided to take this crusty diet that made you feel better about yourselves, did you actually might be reasons that we are omnivores? You try to discredit people who are 'just' medical doctors, but u do realise that medicine is a large proportion of chemistry, which is what cooking is. Instead of saying research says that eating shoots has healing powers, why dont you show this research? Post Date: 01/24/08, Replies: 1 | ||
| Raw Foods on Food Network There is a show on Food Network titled \"Have Fork, Will Travel\". On yesterday's episode he went to Jamaica and the last person he interviewed discussed the raw diet and that it originated in Jamaica. He discussed a lot of their ideas about raw, like that the sun is already cooking the food as it is growing so there is not further need to cook the food. Then he made a killer looking pie! Yum! This is a quick explanation of the episode: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_hf/episode/0,3180,FOOD_30217_53081,00.html I hope they rerun it. Maybe it'll be on youtube. It was so awesome to see some raw on mainstream TV! Post Date: 03/16/08, Replies: 1 | ||
| Raw Food in St. Petersburg, Florida Wow, a new (only) Raw food restaurant opened in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. I went there for the first time two weeks ago, and again yesterday. Even though I have even Raw food at home before, I never went out of my way to find a raw food restaurant before. i think what amazed me the most was how much variety there was on the menu. Honestly, there were too many things to order! Anyone who thinks all we eat is lettuce and fruit is truly nuts. I am looking forward to buying some equipment and learnig how to make some really awesome gourmet-style raw food dishes at home. Post Date: 12/21/08, Replies: 1 | ||
| Raw Foods in West Los Angeles Hi everyone! I recently found out about Tia's Bakery in Marina del Rey. They actually deliver their desserts to you, can you believe it? (I think there's a minimum order, not sure). They have a fantastic dessert that my family and I just love called a Raw Naked Fruit Tart. The search for great tasting raw foods for those of us who are on that path can be frustrating. And I wanted to share what we've found. We usually have the 11" tart a couple of time each month (my 18yr-old wolfs it down so fast we have to be quick). If anyone has other recommendations please share wont ou?

| "Raw-X-ploitation" of bees "Raw-X-ploitation" ........tis a great pity that bee abuse / murder is on the increase in the "Year of the Ox" - so many of the burgeoning "Raw" community cannot admit to being "honey addicted" & accept suffering some withdrawal symptoms for a few days. Too many of the RAW selling sites look like "Herbalife / Amway / Mr. Nice" cocktails! Opening a simple fruit / veggie store would be a much better "good Karma generator". http://goneraw.com/forum/david-wolfe-selling-foods-arent-raw - "......also promotes lots of greens and whole foods, those are hard to sell from a website though."
