Hey guys,
I need some help badly. I'm a 40yo guy going through some financial troubles this last 5 months. We pay the bills but a lot of it is worry.
I'm about 85% raw only because I eat some soy and corn tortillas. I'm a naturalist and I am very aginst western medicin and only seek out natural supplements and herbs.
I have tried:
- Lavender Oil
- High doses of V-12
- Exercising reg

We soak most of our nuts and lately I found out that Brazil nuts or hazelnuts do NOT have the enzyme inhibitor.
But for those nuts that do, what is the natural reason for this? As you would think nuts need help with digestion more then anything why would they have inhibitors?
Off the bat, the reason I think is so they digest more slowly to satisfy appetite longer.

I've been on high fruit for almost 2 months now and I've noticed lots of little bumps on my forehead and my back itches and also has little acne bumps. These are not puss pimples or anything, just little bumps. Mostly noticeable when I get out of the shower.
Last time I saw something like this I was eating dairy which I am strongly allergic to.
Besides this I like the lifestyle. I eat banan

Brome, great post. Thanks for that. It's amazing how powerful mythologies can be to people. I wish there was a way to convince more of the population they don't need a story to be free, and for them to see the logic of nature.

Weight training has also been different for me since becoming raw. The gains are not as much but it's still good for toning. Before raw I was gorging protein shakes and egg whites. Back then it seemed there was more of a "purpose" to bench press, but now it's much less hardcore and I hardly go to failure anymore but I might change that soon.
Other then that, just walking and bike rid

I've been hearing the God word thrown around a bit on the raw forums and YouTube, I'm just wondering what your point of view is when it comes to a raw vegan lifestyle and religion. Is this mostly a christian scene?
Some found a better life with raw food and became closer to God. Others are praying to God from being sick with an unhealthy lifestyle.
Personally, I live as a whole being on ear

Yes, just regular corn chips. Not Organic.
So possibly an allergen to chemicals?

That's too bad about Cafe Gratitude. I've never been but planned on going. I guess that means the Portland location is gone too?
It seems the hardest part for Raw Cafe's is keeping it fresh. I have known of many cafe's that have day-old food. Over-prepping, brown guacamole, Nama shoyu, Agave, Liquid Aminos. I think they still cater to SAD customers. Personally I think they should keep it more

OK.
I'm about 50% Fruit and 35% Veggie and nuts. Been this way for about 2 months and loving it. Every once in a while I get this urge to buy chips and salsa, I guess growing up in Southern california cursed me or something.
I will eat about 3 servings of chips. Now these are "good" tortilla chips with only a few ingredients, corn and salt. EVERY-TIME I do this my whole body feels

My diet consists of
Morning smoothie, Apples, Oranges, 1 Banana.
Noon, huge salad with tons of spring greens, peas, shredded carrots, 1 tbsp of olive oil and 2 tbsps of soaked nuts, 1 tbsp of rasins.\
I snack on fruits, apples, oranges with cinnamon.
"Dinner" is another salad.
Maybe another fruit salad

Hello everyone.
I recently started back on a raw food diet (on for 2 weeks now) after being off it for over a year. I'm feeling better but the weight is hard to get off. I've gained about 3 lbs since starting raw. I workout 5 days a week. Weight lifting and cardo. I'm 39 yrs 6"2 and about 218 lbs.
My body temperature is around 96º in the morning (Arm pit test). I've always felt cold m

I have known many people that have ripped abs and eat fast food and drink a 64 oz. of soda daily.

Almost all the packaged food at the health food store contains SOY. This stuff has a terrible list of side effects.
So how come?

Thank you to everyone for your wonderful responses. Writing that post late at night was probably the reason I was so emotional and why I probably threw one too many words away.
I didn’t want to leave this experience like I did. So before tomorrow, which is a busy day, I wanted to leave this with a happy ending.
I have YouTube on my TV set, and I watch it when I was trying to fall asleep l

Much love and respect to everyone here. My letter may be disturbing to some but it’s been a long battle for me.
I’m a 38 yo. male. Still struggling with weight loss after 6 months on raw.
I need to confess. I’m probably the most frustrated ‘raw foodest’ out there. I’m going to try and make this really short but this really means a LOT to me and a ton of guts to post this here! L

Thanks guys. After posting I asked my girlfriend about it and she explained. Basically it's all about consistency. Some things are best blended by them selves.

50. Blending. Why?
I have a stupid question. I think I already know the answer.
Many recipe books and videos tell you to blend ingredients together at different stages.
For example: Blend the fruits alone, then add the hemp seed powder to the fruit and blend again. Why not just blend all together in one spin the first time?
Another example: Blend the banana and water together, then add the fruit and blend

Hey guys,
For the record, I am a 38yo. guy, been raw for 5 months.
(Note: I previously posted a "fasting and diarrhea" topic and realized it's completely normal. It was just the liquid I was drinking. It was nothing serious.)
I made it to day 5!! This is a huge deal for me. But BOY, I gotta tell you I am totally out of it. I am so weak and drained of energy to the point of almo

To me, Vegan is a mindset, not health. Trick yourself into going vegan so you can lose weight. The vegans I know are mostly fat. My sister went vegan and gained 20 lbs. It's too easy to screw up a vegan diet. For example, "I can have french fries because it's vegan"... or I can eat chips because it's vegan".... and crackers so on and so on...

Just watch out.
I always tell people, if the fruit looks TOO perfect, there might be something wrong. I've seen apples at the farmers market that look so perfect they look fake. And if they get offended when you ask "are these organic", just say OK, and walk away.
People are willing to do anything for a buck these days, they don't care about you or your health, they need to pay bi

Been raw now for 5 months (38 yo. guy). I started a 30 day juice fast yesterday (Dec 2nd). I'm following Markus Rothcranz's guide to fasting/feasting.
I've had diarrhea since after my 2nd juice on Day 1. Here is Day 2 and it looks like the diarrhea is still here. It goes in waves.
Question: Is this normal?
Based on my own knowledge, it would seem as though my body is not absorbing the nu
