considering a raw diet for my lab. Why buy expensive frozen, freeze dried dog food brands . Isn’t better to go to the butcher at the supermarket
If I do I would properly supplement her with minerals and vitamins. hamburg is not good unless i make it

i go on a 100% raw diet every now and again to get more nutrients. lately i have gained 10 kg via emotional bingeing. i hear that eating a raw food diet will lead to quick weight loss, but for me its a hard lifestyle to maintain for life. is there a way i can eat cooked food and maintain any weight loss i achieve through raw foodism (if i of course watch my calorie intake)? or is there more to it? thx
im not asking about weight loss. im asking about weight MAINTENANCE on a more cooked-food diet after eating all raw to lose the weight. thx

i have read and been told that a raw food diet would help clear acne and improve skin conditions. i am always doubtful of diet plans. has anybody personally followed a raw diet and noticed a change in their skin?

I’m 15 and i weigh 189lbs. I give up on finding a easy way to lose weight…I walk a mile everyday and i need a raw food diet plan can anyone help me with it?

I have been on a little of a health kick lately and trying to eat better. So, I though if I’m going to eat less processed foods why not do the same with my dog.

I have done some research and am interested in a raw food diet. Does anyone have their dogs on a raw diet?
Is it cheaper?
Is it safe?
Any good recipes?

What do you think about some of the powders used to add vitamins to the meat?
I was thinking about using this one.

I’m trying to create a raw vegan bread, some ingredients might be useful, a raw flour, flax seeds, etc, I may have to experiment though, if noone has any experience in this field.
I have a dehydrator, with stacks.

I don’t feed raw, probably never will go the whole route, but I’m interested in it, interested in learning more about it, and interested in incorporating it into my dogs’ diets.

If there were one or two raw food diet "things" I could do for my dogs that was relatively easy, relatively convenient, relatively not-too-messy, what would you raw diet experts recommend it be?
and where would you recommend I go to find it?

im also Not eating any breads, rice, beans, dairy, or processed foods.
i only eat fruits and veggies, and a small portion of lean meat for dinner
i do exercise too.

I’m transitioning over to raw foodism and when I told my best friend, she kept telling me how I should not eat just vegetables and fruits and that I should eat other things too. she doesn’t understand that you can get all the nutrients and vitamins your body needs without eating processed foods. also, I know my family is going to have an issue with this, how could I explain this to them? I’m very excited about the short term and long term health benefits I will be getting by cutting out dairy and processed foods from my diet (I’ve been vegetarian for three years now).

Is it safe for all dogs? I have a very small yorkie and i wanted to know what i can and can not feed her.

I decided to try and switch my dogs dry food to a raw food intake. I did google the subject and i didnt find any cons to the raw food diet, plus, i never been comfortable with the dry food..
Anyone here feeds their dog raw food? i do leave in apartment building and we have carpet so i wont give him whole bones.
How can i transfer my dog to a raw diet food? should i do it right away or just add some raw ingredients to his food? My dog always liked veggies, like carrots and tomatoes. Does raw feeding gives dogs upset stomachs?

I already eat a lot of fruits and vegetables…but eating a 100% raw food diet interests me a lot lately. Does anyone know what to expect? Should I buy a juicer? Would you recommend buying a book that explains this in depth?

Thanks!
I should have added that this would be a vegetarian diet. I don’t know if milk is allowed or not..?

I feed my 2 year old Doberman mix a homemade diet of mostly chicken/rice/and vegetables and some good oils. She is doing well but want to make sure she is getting all the nutrients she needs. Can somone suggest any good diets/supplements?

she has extremely low protein levels, to the extent my regular vet is worried.

I have a ridiculously high metabolism.

Hey, I have been looking for a raw diet for my Razor edge/ Gotti Pitbull. He is currently on orijen and its great, I treat my dog like a human and want him to have the best. If anyone has a website or a raw diet plan for a large breed dog that would be great. Plus orijen is a pretty penny and looking to drop the cost of his diet but not the quality

first off, I’m already a vegetarian. I’ve been a vegetarian for three years now, going back and forth to veganism. I’ve been studying about raw foodism for a while now, so I know about how I can get my nutrients…which doesn’t have to come from processed foods and animal products. raw foodism can be the healthiest diet if you eat the right fruits and vegetables. anyways, this is my plan:
week one: each of my meals and snack will consist of fruits and/or vegetables (cooked or raw)
week two: each of my meals and snacks will consist ONLY of fruits and vegetables (cooked or raw)
week three: at least two meals a day has to be all fresh fruits and/or vegetables (as well as snacks)
week four: at least two meals a day has to be all fresh fruits and/or vegetables (as well as snacks)
after week four everything will be raw fruits and vegetables.
