So many raw teachers seem to be going off of raw. Now Jinjee has gone off her 100% raw diet. She still believes in it, but has been battling with her cheating once again! Her latest blog post is very interesting at [www.jinjeetalifero.com]

She doesn't indicate how she is addressing her B12 needs, I wonder if that's why her body is craving and allowing the consumption of dairy with no noticable negative affects. Anyhow, whatever. I've never thought 100% raw was admirable or neccessary unless one is very sick. High raw is very healthy.

I liked her very different take on emotional eating, it was refreshing.

"I’m also of the opinion that Emotional Eating is not always a bad thing. When nursing babies as long as I have, one notices that mother’s milk is not just for nourishing the body, but also for pain relief, comfort, and bonding. Isn’t it wonderful that good food can do the same for us adults! If it is used sparingly as needed and not abused, I think Emotional Eating can be healthy, especially if raw vegan comfort foods are used."

And what she had to say about raw cacao was terrific as well

"Over the last few years more and more people email me saying they had to go off the raw diet due to adrenal gland exhaustion, adrenal failure, and chronic fatigue. I always ask them if they use raw cacao, and every one of them was a daily raw cacao user!"

She seems to know herself and what she's doing, I trust her to care very well for herself and her family.

I started a thread bout this.

When Jinjee learns how to eat enough calories from fruit, raw life will be a breeze. Currently Jinjee has no clue how many calories in a meal of fruit or how to eat enough fruit carb calories for her demanding lifestyle as a caring Mother and health advisor. She is caught in the rut of 'Im not a multiple gold medalist olympic athlete ultra endurance athlete so Im not allowed more than a bowl of fruit per day..' And she wonders why the 'voices' control her 'emotional eating'.

As for b12, ALL my raw meat eater friends still have chronic b12 deficiencies despite eating more grass fed, organic, raw animals and their by products than any people I know.

B12 deficiencies occur in about 39% of the US population. It would be more if they used the Japanese protocols. Japan has a minimum b12 cut off 550 where in the US its only 140. [www.ars.usda.gov]

OMG you really can act like such a giant jerk DR. Unbelievable.

When you can get better results for yourself or others, call me whatever you want.

PS: keep reading that thread on 30BaD cos Jinjee will be chiming in shortly.

Indeed it is very good following the emotional eating. Its the time we feel that we are really caring about ourselves

And yes, she really does know a LOT about these to take care of herself, her family, and her mates!

I guess if Jinjee knew what to do, she would be at the health & fitness she desires.
