Re: Wisdom for a raw food newbie?

 

Hi Melissa,

 

I'm not an expert, but frozen fruit is a fine choice for new raw fooders

who are still using less than ideal foods and combinations to stay

satisfied in order to stay raw. I think that after awhile your body will

lead you to make steps towards eating only whole fresh fruits and

veggies and nuts and seeds in as natural a state as possible. I think

freezing probably makes some of the food unavailable to the body to use

and therefore leaves it something to have to eliminate later. This is

just my instinct based on how my body deals with frozen fruit now after

a couple of years of not having any problems with it. If I have frozen

fruit now I get some mucus and a little tired, and I don't get those

symptoms from the same fruit if I eat it fresh, so that is my body

telling me that frozen fruit is less than ideal.

 

But when I first went raw I really enjoyed frozen bananas in smoothies

(delicious with raw carob for a chocolate shake!) and run through a

chanpion juicer to make ice cream. I also really like frozen berries in

smoothies. At the time, such yummy entertaining food really helped me

stay raw.

 

Best of luck to you!

 

Audrey

Re: Wisdom for a raw food newbie?

 

Hi Melissa,

 

You might want to check out the raw food diet recommended by Gabriel

Cousens, M.D. in his book Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine. There's a

section about candida that presents a different view than Doug

Graham's high-fruit/minimal fat diet. I tried a high fruit diet for 3

months (after having been 80% raw for the two previous years) and

experienced a definite " failure to thrive. " After reading Cousens I

added more fat to my diet and felt a whole lot better, and yes,

quickly learned that I needed to cut way down on the fruit in order

to not have blood sugar fluctuations. We're all different, so

experiment and find what makes you feel the healthiest -- you're the

expert on that.

 

Best wishes on your journey,

Gael
