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).

Am I going to starve on this diet?? I signed of for a 28 day detox that involves only raw food. I’m already a vegan and incorporate raw foods in my diet, but always crave pasta and rice. I’m so afraid I’m going to be hungry all the time.

i keep hearing all these people saying that you should feed your dog raw food, like raw chicken, lamb, hamburger, eggs or ham. but im pretty sure that would do more harm to a dog than good. i have a 1 year old German shepherd & he LOVES meat to put it simply, and i was considering putting him on this diet if it was actually healthy for him.

so is it healthy? or will it kill him?

I’m doing a 5 day fast of nothing but water and green tea, and then after I’ll only have raw fruits and veggies with roasted unsalted nuts, green tea and fresh fruit and veg juice. Has anyone else done this diet? From what I’ve read it’s healthy, fast, and something I can do potentially for the rest of my life, and I’m not looking to get talked out of it. I just want to hear other peoples experiences with it. Also, I know I’m going to cheat by allowing coffee with non-dairy creamer and Stevia (or Splenda), will this totally throw things out of whack? I know at least initially, I’m going to need my coffee, it’s my one concession. Thanks.
I won’t be having the coffee coffee during the fast.

how long have you been on it and how has it affected your health ?
Have you had any complications with it ?

I attempted it last year but stopped after getting very sick after 6 weeks into it and I was never sure if it was because of the diet itself.

I’m just wondering if there are any raw foodists who would be filling to explain a little about their diet. We were discussing an article on raw foodism in class the other day and I was just wondering if there was anyone who could kind of explain their eating habits, how/where they get all of their dietary needs, what (if any) difficulties they encounter (have encountered). I’ve never really heard of this until recently and I’m just intrigued.
Thanks!

My dog Barney has been having seizures, he is 9. He does not have canine epilepsy, so I am considering changing his diet–as this may be the source of his problem. Anyone have suggestions, a list, or a website?

I would like to start them on a raw meat, raw vegetable, and oat diet that I make at home. How much should I feed my 12 wk springer spaniel pup and my 83 pound senior German shepherd. If you have other suggestions you would like to add that would be great!

I’ve started a new diet and its basically large amounts of raw fruit, veggies, and a bit of meat here and there. And I’ve noticed my stomach has been rumbling and my anus exploding with gas here and there. Anyone else notice this?
Edit to the smart ass’es that rumbling in the stomach is actually the stomach…

I completely ment rumbing in the abdominal, aka, gas.. No burp gas, fart gas.

I am always tired and I was thinking about going raw anyway. Will it help boost my energy levels? What other benefits have you seen on this diet?

Preferably made by a real nutritionist, with recipes, no more than 1200 calories, and low glycemic. I read a book extolling the virtues of this kind of diet, but it didn’t have a daily menu. It’s very hard to get started on such an unusual diet without a menu and recipes.
The most important thing to me is that the diet was designed by a nutrition professional. There are too many diets out there made by doctors with phds that have nothing to do with nutrition. Also, raw food diets are plagued by spiritual "gurus" who often don’t have any appropriate education in nutrition at all.

I'm always thinking about the idea of "absolute health"…there has to be some diet out there that is the best possible diet for a human…we have dog food figured out; the same food every day and they get all they need! Why isn't there "human food"?

So, I wonder if raw food is the most natural and healthy way to eat. It sounds good on paper, but what do you think?
