Guest guest Report post Posted November 10, 2007 How do you get protein, and starch? I have low blood sugar? pauline Original Message: ----------------- Leah Morrison LeahMorrison Fri, 09 Nov 2007 10:38:59 -0600 rawfood [Raw Food] Re: New to raw MARJORIE, WELCOME TO THE GROUP! Your message got my attention for a couple of reasons. Aside from being new and asking for help, I noticed your question about your son. I have a 13 year old son who also has cognitive disabilities and is blind. So, let's take first things first. I think a slow comfortable transition into raw is the best way to go. For instance, you could start each morning with a breakfast of fruit only. I vary my breakfasts between eating whole fresh fruit and drinking fruit smoothies. Once you are comfortable with this routine and ready to move on, I would suggest a making lunch fruit only. If that doesn't feel comfortable to you yet, make it fruit with a salad of greens. Again, when you are comfortable move into the evening meal. For the evening meal, you could start with a first course of fruit or fruit juice. Then move into a salad with veggies and a lot of greens. Not knowing what your present diet is made of, I would also suggest drinking plenty of water. If you want to take the transition a little slower, you could add steamed veggies to your evening meal. All of the things I suggested above could be applied to you, your son or anyone because the principles of Nature's Design apply to everyone of us. Now, let's take a look at your second question. What can you feed your son? I would suggest that you ask him. Seriously, ask him. He is the only person who knows what he prefers. I have learned so much about my son while learning to trust Nature's Design. He knows what he enjoys eating, he knows when he has had enough, he knows what signals he is receiving from his body. For instance, last winter my son came home from school sick. He didn't want to eat. He only wanted to drink water and sleep. I decided not to inter fear with his body's healing process, and let him direct the process. He slept all day. The next morning he was feeling fine and ready to resume his normal activities. I offer my son all of the same things that I am eating, and let him decide which fruits he loves and wants to eat. He loves sliced cucumbers, peppers, pineapple, carrots... the list goes on and on... As long as I don't make a big deal out of any food related issues, he makes good choices on his own. I keep bottled water in the fridge all the time, and when he is thirsty he chooses water now 95-98% of the time. My last suggestion for today is a book that absolutely changed my life, and the author has become a friend in years since I first read her book! Disability Is Natural: Revolutionary Common Sense for Raising Successful Children With Disabilities by Kathie Snow. She has a fabulous website too: www.disabilityisnatural.com[1] . Without a doubt, I know that she would say: ask your son what he wants to eat. Enjoy the journey together! I hope this helps, and feel free to ask more questions.

Guest guest Report post Posted November 11, 2007 I have a 13-YO-son who is also very skinny. We tried 2 weeks of strict 80/10/10 (which is a predominantly fruit raw diet) and I was surprised that he didn't lose any weight. He also didn't gain any pounds either though. He seemed pretty content on the diet until dinner came around and then he wanted cooked food. Hope that helps, Beth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted November 11, 2007 Starch you don't need - it's not a real food group. Protein is made from amino acids. Most suffer health problems from too much, and protein deficiency has never been documented in the U.S. ever. It's unheard of and a mythical concern as long as you are eating at all. Fruit. Greens. Spirulina. Avocado and coconut oil are wonderfully blood sugar balancing. I had low blood sugar massively. Still do if I eat wrong. Am very insulin resistant. Water and juice fasting is the most balancing thing I ever do. Sounds ridiculous, but when you look into it, it's easy to see why. :-) Erica " pshreiman " <pshreiman wrote: How do you get protein, and starch?

Guest guest Report post Posted November 13, 2007 Well, this has been my problem. I have low blood sugar. I have been eating alot more fiber and drinking alot of water. To be blunt I am peeing and pooping and seem to feel starving the only thing that eases me up is sugar. pauline Original Message: ----------------- School Of Rawk schoolofrawk Mon, 12 Nov 2007 09:04:09 -0800 (PST) rawfood RE: [Raw Food] Re: New to raw What will fill you up? pauline FIBER! :-) Water.

Guest guest Report post Posted November 14, 2007 ROTFLOL!!! Yes, I decided to keep that one simple. There is tendency by those who are filled with unresolved anger/rage and who have never experienced something to invalidate and even to disparage that experience. That is why I suggested, a couple of days back, discussing the feelings beneath. Where there is rage, there is pain, probably grief and more. The only question is whether its carrier is willing to look within, rather than spraying without.

L> Did anyone ever go walking in the woods, and see some green leaves and go running over to them and say: " Lunch " ? Why not? SoR> Why yes. They are called wild edibles. Missed the point? Let me be more specific, what percentage of ALL the species of GREEN LEAVES do you find palatable? Tiny shoots of a ferns and a vanishingly-small number of plants is simply a dodge; what percentage of TREE LEAVES can you eat? > Just ask any other herbivore. Unlike some of you, I can not talk to animals; humans are difficult enough to communicate with -- especially diet cultists. A " herbivore " is one who eats ONLY grasses, humans are NOT herbivores, regardless of what some seemingly " educated " people misrepresent. http://ecologos.org/anatomy.htm Learning accurate terminology will facilitate both learning and communication. PS. ... never seen Victoria Boutenko let loose ... What percentage of ALL the green leaves does she eat? Be honest. Here's a surprise -- NUMBERS are important because they put both boundaries on, and meaning into, words. Some, few, most, lots, ... are meaningless because they are non-numerate; they carry no specific quantity. Donald Trump may have lots of money compared to you, but Bill Gates has lots more than he. Did you get it? Ask questions if you need more help. > LOL! Are you laughing at your own ignorance and lack of facility with the English language? Me too. Assuming you graduated from high school; how did you do in Math? Algebra? Do you hate numbers? Do you use them to express quantitative concepts?
