Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 raw sounds healthy, but please make sure what type of constitution you are.... basically there are 3main types VATA ---AIR PITTA--FIRE KAPHA--WATER as far as i know , VATA types are better off eating cooked foods and that too ,one pot meals, which are cooked all in one. some meats are good once in a way as that keeps VATA low and makes them grounded. so it would be a good idea to look up some good ayurvedic sites , and check what body type you are. something on the diabetes issue. rice should not be avoided. Place long grain rice in a dry skillet brown the rice to a golden brown. Some of the kernels may pop. Let Cool and store and cook as needed, as you would cook regular rice. . This method changes the utilization of the rice within your body to a protein. hope this helps!! DIVINE LIGHT rhoda joshlaraw <joshlaraw wrote: Has anyone seen the trailer for " Raw For 30 Days " ? It's a documentary about six people, who normally eat fast food, who decide to go 100% raw for a month. It features interviews with doctors, experts, and raw foodists including Gabriel Cousens, David Wolfe, and Woody Harrelson. I am new to raw foods and very interested in hearing from others who are raw foodists and people who are trying to change their lives for the better. Many people in my family have diabetes and I have changed my diet and gone raw to prevent myself from also getting diabetes. The trailer on Youtube at: There is also a new two-disc DVD set that is available for order called RAW FOR LIFE, which is a encyclopedia of Raw Food, perfect for beginners like me and Raw Food enthusiasts. I have found it to be very helpful, as I have been transitioning to raw foods. It's about how to live raw, the Raw Food philosophy, why to eat a raw food diet, important medical facts and nutritional information. It's a very practical guide to becoming raw and staying raw. Visit the Raw For 30 Days site at: www.rawfor30days.com Another great resource I have found is the Raw Summit site, which is at: www.rawsummit2.com I joined for the first Raw Summit and found it very helpful and interesting and it's FREE! Who here is raw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 To paraphrase Rhoda, all things are not for all people, so no matter how good a particular " thing " happens to be, it may not suit you. Now that having been said, I've had great success with a raw food (vegetable) diet however I am remiss because I fall back into my day to day habits as well Best to you Give it a go!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Excellent point, Rhoda. Raw isn't for everyone although I'm sure raw food enthusiasts will disagree. In addition to the Ayurvedic approach, certain blood types do better with certain diets. I recently spent 7 months living/working at a retreat center where there were a lot of raw food folks. I've never seen a more scrawny, unhealthy looking bunch! ;-) Michelle http://www.HolisticMenopause.com raw sounds healthy, but please make sure what type of constitution you are....
