I don't know about raw foodists, but to have a rice that doesn't require that people deforest the land for fuel to cook is a great idea.

when I visited Costa Rica I had some sugar cane juice from the farmer's market in San Isidro. It was very sweet and intense. They have some special machine that could juice it, but it seems like it would work in a Champion.
My favorite juice in Costa Rica was guanabana juice. Every time I drank the stuff it made me feel happy.

800 sounds a bit low. You ought to put your typical cooked food menu into fitday and see how many calories your ate on a typical day, and then eat that many calories from your raw foods. Also, I would suggest that you limit your fat intake to under 30% fat to start, and 20% fat would be better.
Initially, its hard to eat a lot of raw foods, because they are so much less dense than cooked foods

There is a difference between the body asking you to fast, and the mind thinking it needs to fast. When the body asks to be fasted, then honoring what the body is asking for would serve. But when it is simply the mind thinking it needs to fast, then I have to doubt that this will be so fruitful. In fact, this can backfire.
When the desire to fast comes from the mind, often out of the need to c

Let your body be the guide when it come to fast or not. When you are having symptoms, and your appetite is gone, this is a natural time to fast. When fasting, it is best to get as much rest and sleep as possible - so call in sick and stay in bed and sleep.
So if you are feeling fine and you don't have symptoms and you have plenty of appetite, then this is not the time to fast.

Hi Omega,
I don't know. It seem like there are plenty of spirituality forums on the internet, and you can probably find one that has the same kind of views on spirituality that you have. Here, with the wide variety of people, the views are going to be very different, and can be cause for some drama, like we saw on the Politics forum.
So while I love discussions on spirituality, I don't thi

This forum is here to support people on their path to being raw vegans. That means when a person first starts, they may be neither raw nor vegan. And they may never be raw nor vegan. But this forum is here to support people who have the desire to be both raw and vegan.
If you don't have that desire, there are other forums on the internet that can support you better in your pursuit of healthy c

The thing of interest for me when I read about raw vegans who need to eat cooked foods or animal products to restore their health is the following: I examine their diets and see what they are doing, so that I don't make the same mistakes they did.
Like flipperjan mentioned above - some people leaving raw veganism are low fruit high fat folk, with lots of superfoods. Well its no big surprise to

Narz,
All that says is that animals can get addicted to the same substances that humans can. In Yosemite national park, bears will break into cars to eat Snickers bars and potato chips. Does that mean these foods are healthy because some animal chose to eat it?
Humans are animals too, and substances to which human can be addicted are also substances to which animals can be addicted. And whe

As long as one believes they will never heal from a particular disease, they will never heal. The root of all healing comes from a spiritual place, outside of logic or science or what might be observed in others. The reason we can not rely on the literature of dealing with cystic fibrosis is that none of those people lived a truly healthy lifestyle.
To say that a disease is genetic and can't b

As you have probably noticed, raw foods have a lot more volume and far fewer calories than cooked foods. Initially, a person who is new to raw foods can't hold that much raw food in their stomachs, so more meals are necessary.
When I first started eating raw foods, I ate 5 to 6 meals a day (sometimes more). But over time, my stomach was able to accommodate more food, and now I only need 2 meal

Here's a blurb from Shelton's Orthopathy:

That is a myth, the part about not getting too much raw fat. The biggest reason people leave the raw diet, that is, that people get sick on the raw diet, is too much fat consumption.
How many calories total do you eat in a day? Because 50 grams of fat is 450 calories. If you are eating 1000 calories, this is 50% fat, at 1500 calories this is 35% fat, and at 2000 calories this is 27.5% fat.

Yes, watch out for eating too much fat when you cut back on fruit. You can use a nutritional calculator like fitday, nutritiondata, nutridiary, or Cron-o-Meter to see what your fat intake is.
40% fat intake is very high fat.
30% fat intake is high fat
20% intake is moderate fat
10% intake is low fat
5% intake is very low fat

A low fat all raw diet is a very healing diet. For some people it takes some time to adjust to such a diet, but in the long run, based on my observation of other raw folk, low fat is much more sustainable than high fat. If you look at all the people who are leaving the raw vegan diet and going to cooked foods or animal products, these are all people who have been eschewing high fruit in favor of

Those foods are not raw. So for a person who want to be all raw, these foods would not be an option.
There are better cooked food choices to add to a high raw diet over these two foods. These include (from most healthy to least healthy):
Steamed vegetables.
Steamed grains
Legumes.
The tofu and rice noodles are not only cooked, but they are processed. This means you don't know what kind

Jodi,
The truth of the matter is that your parents don't see the connection between diet and health like you do. Because if they did, they would be eating the kind of diet you do.
So for them, whats more important is the comfort and pleasure of the way they have already been doing things. Given the way they were raised and their experiences, I am not surprised at this attitude, as it is ver

You can try running on a water fast, but don't be surprised if you don't have the energy for it. But if you do, then try it and see.
For myself, when I water fast, I get really tired and my body just wants to sleep until its done its internal cleansing.
