It's 2062 kcal but probably less than 80% of that is usable since the fiber content is so high (117 g).

It takes time to develop a sufficient colony of friendly intestinal bacterial to deal with the extra fiber. A 1-2 gram increase of dietary fiber every few days will probably work.

Almonds have an acid effect. The only nut I know of that doesn't is the hazelnut.

2619. Re: salt
256 mg of sodium per 1000 kcal in the diet is about right and consistent with wild primate and paleo human diets. Most people who don't add salt to their diets should be in this ballpark without deliberation.
US RDAs range from 500-2400 mg per day but the lower end of the range is more appropriate although the food labels on food reflect the upper end.

20% is by kcals, not volume. Greens are mostly water by volume.
Boutenko does not advocate a high greens diet by kcals--nobody does. She certainly does not eat a high greens diet by kcals because there is no way that high greens could maintain her obesity. She, like many others, advocates adding more greens to the diet. There is a very big difference. Adding a handful of parsley or kale to a f

LOL!
I think 20% greens is a feasible upper limit for a human. I am not sure why anyone would want to go higher than that, or even it it's healthy. A third of that would be pretty difficult for most anatomic

Papain content is highest in the green ones.
Papaya is one of the most nutrient-dense fruits of all. If you ate nothing but papaya, you'd probably get full before you satisifed your sulfur amino acid, zinc, iron, and EFA needs. But you can make it work pretty well and sustain you for a long time if you eat as much papaya in a day as you can handle and add an ounce or two of brazil nuts, flax,

How do you do that? Do you mind sharing a typical daily menu for weight maintenance? I would guess that your diet must be at least 70% fat because it takes an enormous quantity

It seems to me that you have fallen prey to the soy bashers. Processed soy has pros and cons, like turkey does. Both are neither health foods nor deadly poison but something in between.
But vegans, even when they aren't trying to be ecological, generally have lower impact.

Well, yesterday I bought in pots some arugula, several varieties of rapini, several kales, wild chicory, and flat-leaf parsley. Those at least will be organic. But the local grower who supplies my grocer did not offer anything in pots aside from the chicory in the lettuce family, and lettuce family members are my main greens. The rest are peripherals in my diet.

I think that has among the better prices. I don't know if they are the best but they are pretty good. I am not sure if everything organic is available in the 25 lb bag sizes. The per lb price goes down as the lbs increase.

Actually it is a true statement. Eating plants does destroy much more than the plant.
As of today the world population is 6.663 billion.
As of today, a cultivated diet based exclusively on plant foods is still unsustainable, at least in the USA. See Pimentel's AJCN paper
A diet based on gathering wild uncultivated plant foods would not be able to sustain more than an estimated 200-500

I am not sure that equal starting dry weights would have equal energy (kcal, or calories, colloquially) content after cooking or sprouting.
I am guessing that with sprouting, the longer the sprout, the lower will be the edible energy content and the higher the water and fiber content of the food. Higher fiber means less net utilizable energy. But the USDA nutrient database is woefully neglect

It depends on where you are coming from. If you are currently overweight and lose weight on raw, that might be a big help.
If you are currently normal or underweight and on a low fat cooked vegan diet rich in fiber it might not make much of a difference.
Researchers theorize that a low fat diet high in fiber and emphasizing the low GI carbohydrates might be best. You can certainly meet thes

2635. Re: lean protein on raw
The problem with most high protein low fat raw plant foods is that you can't eat them in great quantities. They are either too bitter, too full of antinutrients (sprouts), iodine and salt (sea vegetables) and must be eaten only sparingly or as condiments.
The only things I can see that you can eat a lot of without GI distress are the mild watery nonstarchy vegetables or fruits such as lettuces

2636. Re: cultured veggies
Kimchi contains glycoproteins that prevent mutations in DNA.
Other fermented foods can be similarly protective.
Koreans eat a lot of kimchi and they historically had very low rates of hormonal cancers compared to other Asian countries. But they also had lower fat intakes.
I used the past tense because their diet is more garbagized now and they have
lost their anti-cancer edge.

I know this plant well. It used to clog the lake behind my dad's house.
It looks to be an excellent source of calcium and other minerals. But it also looks to contain a B12 analogue that might be harmful to the nervous system.
So I would pass.
