# of calories (was Q Advanced Raw living stages?

[Guest guest]

Hi Lesa,

 

This is a topic of interest to me. I don't have enough personal

experience to bring that in. But I do know long-term raw-fooders

with different ideas and experiences about this. I can see both

sides and haven't come to a conclusion in my mind. I will probably

need to go thru it myself to know for sure what I think about it.

Maybe Elchanan will chime in. I'm not that familiar w/ or active on

Doug Graham's board, but you might try posting on there about this.

And then there's Nora Lenz and Audrey Walker, who would probably say

something very different. I think I recall a discussion on Nora's

board about this awhile ago--I could try to find it if you can't. I

believe both Nora and Audrey talk about needing/feeling better on

less food than would be recommended by Doug Graham. Of course,

there's the aspect of physical activity, too.

 

I understand you wanting reassurance. Sounds like you are going

through more changes and entering some sort of new growth phase. Let

us know how things evolve.
