I’m not planning on switching to the raw diet to lose weight, but I’m worried about the high fat content of a lot of the "permitted" foods (especially the nuts). I really like nuts and since they seem the most filling (although I know they are not necessarily), I’m scared that I’ll be eating to many of them and gaining weight. Has anybody tried the raw diet before? Did you actually gain weight? Did you limit the amount of nuts you ate (and if so, by how much)?

Does anyone have salad recipes that are high in nutrition, hitting all the recommendations for healthy eating? I used to have one bookmarked, but the article was taken down.

I think it was built around the revised food pyramid; it included raisins to help with the fruit requirement, almonds and tuna for fish/nuts requirement, some chunks of cheese for the dairy needs, an olive oil based dressing, and spinach, red and green peppers, and other lettuce for the bulk.

I’m not finding much online – there are salads with healthy traits, but none that cover all the nutritional bases. Does anyone have salad recipes that address all your nutritional needs (aside from the breads/grains requirements)?
I’m not looking to ‘detox’ or diet, just want a recipe that provides everything a body needs . .

I am a recovering anorexic, and i need to put on at least 10 lbs in order to stay out of inpatient. (i am 17, 5′4 and around 80lbs now). I still have many fears and doubts about this, but i know i need to be strong and do this for my health. Here is the meal plan i have created to hopefully help me gain some weight:

Breakfast -8am
-2 slices wheat toast with 2T peanut butter
-medium apple
-80z juice

Snack-10am
-Ensure Plus Shake

Lunch 12-1pm
-turkey/cheese (2slices) sandwich on wheat with lettuce,tomato, mustard
-carrot sticks with hummus or ranch dip
-80z juice

Snack 3-4pm
-Ensure Plus
-piece of fruit

Dinner 5-6pm
-Veggie burger on bun with ketchup
-side salad (veggies, cheese, nuts, dressing)
-8oz milk

Snack 8-9pm
-granola bar
-8oz milk

This meal plan i’ve made contains a little more than 2500 calories. (right now i am eating an average of 1600 a day). Will this plan help me gain weight HEALTHILY? Any suggestions?

Thank you

Okay, so don’t tell me that its bad for me, and that its going to give me bacteria or anything, but I love the taste of raw hamburger. I’m considering going on a raw food diet. I’ve looked around Google and found that nuts, veggies and fruits, raw meat are part of the diet. Is it a better diet for someone who doesn’t exercise that much? Can someone exactly tell me what is in a raw food diet and what its supposed to do/is for?

I got so mad the other day.. I’ll give a little background. My niece just turned a year old about a month ago. She’s a doll but is a major chunk! A big problem is my step dad. She would get little tastes of things now and then.. but wasn’t really given junk food. My sister had her on baby food and she was doing great. My step dad loves to give her junk food. My sister was feeding my niece a jar of green beans and she was doing great.. Then my step dad came up and started feeding her pieces of pepperoni pizza.. This was when she was about 8 months or so I’d say.. And he would always share his chocolate pudding, cake, ice cream, everything with her. I think he thinks its cute that she’s super chunky. Drives me nuts and my sister doesn’t know how to tell him no..

Anyway.. My son is 3 months old.. Obviously only on formula at this point. His doctor told me that somewhere between 4 and 5 months I can start trying cereal and then around 6 months start trying baby foods.. Well I was over at my mom’s and my step dad was eating sour cream and onion chips and tried putting a chip in my son’s mouth to let him taste the seasonings. I told him no and pushed his hand away.. Then he tried it again and I broke the chip out of his hand and threw it back at him. I’m not allowing that to happen with my baby boy. I don’t want him on junk food like that like my niece was.. She never wanted her baby food after having all of that stuff. I told him that it won’t be happening with my son and I know he didn’t take me seriously.

I was just wondering if anybody has had this happen and how they handle it? I just don’t understand why some people can’t just get it!

I’ve been doing tons of research for about a year now on the raw food movement. I’ve tried going raw before, but no success. I want to try a different approach, one that very few raw food eaters try. I’m going to start off just eating individual fruits, veggies, and nuts to get my palette used to those foods. besides eating what i really enjoy, what are the living foods i need to eat in order to get my required daily nutrition?
omg….i know what the raw diet consists of, thats not my question. my question is, which individual friends, veggies, etc will suffice for getting my daily needed nutrition?

Hello, I have a 3 yo American Bulldog and have gone through tons of tests in the last month due to her diarrhea, everything negative. She has been on Hills i/d for the last month and she feels great although her stools are still pretty soft (even on a good day!) I am debating the raw diet and need all RELEVANT info on the raw diet. Seems to me though that once you "go raw" that you cannot go back, and I do need to be able to board her and have her eat dry food. Is there a good commercial/rx brand that is similar to raw (as lame as that sounds) or is i/d good enough.

Also, could it be anxiety? This dog is happy and healthy (always gets complements what a "happy" or "good" dog she is, she sleeps in our bed every night, HOWEVER she does run to the door when she hears neighbors (we are in a condo) and seems to be overly concerned sometimes with the activity of the neighbors, which I thought was normal dog behavior. There is no barking problem, if anything she makes one big "woof" and that is it.

THANKS so much in advance, I am driving myself nuts with this and have spent about 800 bucks on the vet!!

Help! I want to eat a more natural,unprocessed diet primarily of veggies and fruit. Eggs and seafood are okay too as are nuts, but I don’t want to be soaking nuts or sprouting seeds. I want to get my calcium from vegetable sources rather than dairy and I want to cook my food as well rather than blend and eat everything raw. I need some recipes and support for this lifestyle but I don’t know where I fit in. The raw recipes don’t do it and the macrobiotic ones include soy, which I don’t want to eat either. Anyone know what I’m looking for?

I want to try eating a raw diet but I’m just worried about my hunger. If I eat fruit, vegetables, and nuts/seeds I’m sure I’m going to get bad hunger pangs. I usually eat lots of wheat carbs and a little bit of meat every day so the cravings are sure to come. My question is what can I do to avoid the hunger? Is it normal to feel sick to my stomach and dizzy while in the transition period?

apparently on live fods you dont have to contribute enzymes from your body because live food has its own enzymes to start and end the digestive process. it does get kinda boring though. like all i can ever seem to eat on a live food diet is bananas and apples (i hate avocados), i also have nuts (which i find extremely boring and mundane to eat, and seeds (boringggggg)
you need to be a special kinda person to sustain a live food diet for months lol.

About three months ago, I began transitioning to the raw food diet. At first, I was strictly raw… I just kinda threw myself in there, and managed to upold it for about a month. Since then, I’ve kinda fallen off the wagon, though.

My biggest problem was being hungry all the time. At first, I was dealing just fine… It seems, though, that my body will plateau and fluctuate by 3 or 4 pounds (this is in general, not in the raw transition) and as soon as I start to dip below that, I feel insatiably hungry until I load up on food and go back up to my "regular" weight. I hit that plateau about two weeks after going raw, and managed to stay raw- although overindulging- for another few weeks before starting to re-suppliment my diet with cooked grains, ect.

I have had problems in the past with eating disorders. When I hit these plateaus and become ravenous all the time, I get very depressed. When I can keep my food intake steady, I manage ok, but when I start pigging out and eating everything in sight, I tend to "crash" and eat more because of these problems with food that I’ve had in the past.

The main reason that I started putting cooked food back into my diet was protein… I felt that a big reason that I was hungry all the time was because I was lacking it. (Has anyone heard about the Blood Type Diet? About a week ago I was doing some reading, and came across information on it… If the theories that it presents are correct, then as an O- protein should be a major part of my diet…)

Does anyone have any suggestions for moving past this initial phase of detox and getting back in the raw swing? I started taking a greens suppliment, to make sure that I was getting enough. I know that nuts have a good amount of protein, but sometimes they make me sick.

Are there any side-effects that I should expect from this detoxing phase, and anything that I can do to ease the transition?

I heard that eating your veggies and fruits raw should diminish your chance of getting cancer.Sowe have been eating raw veggies and habe been making fruit and veggy smoothies No meat, no dairy products lots of rice and rice products and all kinds of grains nuts and tofu. Almost no fat except for olive oil no sugar,ezcept when it is in prepared foods and juices. It is a lot of fun once you get the hang of it and is easy and quick to prepare. We feel quite energetic. and my headaches are gone – zap! I also lost 4 pounds in three weeks (fast enough for me)
But we love breads of all kinds and eat it, but we wonder if it is appropriate
with the raw food diet.
