Hi Diana,

 

Glad you are enjoying, Alissa's new book is indeed beautiful, well-written,

full of wonderful recipes (though many are high-fat, and many are so-so food

combined, definitely more for transitioning than for long-term sustained

living.)

 

One thing you might want to consider. Those things that last a few days,

i.e., that have a longer " shelf life, " are precisely those things that

digest less readily inside you.

 

Freshness is a key component in nutrient vitality of foods. Just something

to consider, what you are doing is already light years beyond 99% of the

population!

[Raw Food] Recipes Make It a Pleasure/ was Two Months Raw

Melba, you would probably not have trouble staying raw if you did have a

good simple raw recipe book or two. Alissa Cohen has a great book and DVD

and Bryan is coming out with his new book Raw in Ten (minutes). So people

prefer not to make recipes...but that's the way I find this way of eating

fun! and delicious and am not tempted with cooked food. I like simple

recipes that I can just whip up and that last in the fridge a couple of days

for snacking on. I'm big on vegetable nut pate's that I can dip or roll in

leaves.

I am not good at making recipes. I like the simple and easy way and if

that is not good, then I am in trouble. I have heard that people eat

fruit for breakfast and lunch. My stomach would be screaming at me if I

did that. I have the impression that the fatty raw foods help stay on my

stomach longer and I don't get hungry as fast and then I wont eat so much

all of the time. I am really having a rough time with staying 100% raw.

Elchanan, I need the high fat from avos and nuts as I will get too thin

otherwise and it gives me energy. My prepared food rarely lasts two days in the

refrigerator...I eat it or share it! One thing I always try to do though is not

combine fruits or vegetables. And I find the heavy " breads " and heavier sprouted

grain items do not make me feel light and well, so I am eliminating them.

Blessings,

Hi Diana,

 

I agree that you do need whatever level of calories suits your size and

activity level. But what I'm saying is that you are overeating fat calories

and undereating carbohydrate calories. In the process, you are undereating

ALL water-soluble nutrients. Eventually, this will lead to problems. (It may

take awhile, but then so does cancer. But most diagnosable health problems

arise over time, not overnight.

 

Glad to hear you are eliminating the grains, they are chemically addictive,

and they are the food of slaves.

 

Best,

Elchanan

I don't eat grains, it would be like eating raw straw. Not much

taste or appeal. For that matter I don't eat grass of any kind, like

wheatgrass, etc., again, not much to them in terms of taste or

appeal. Vegetables and fruits are much better tasting. Wheat is

highly addictive too, just try to take away wheat from a SAD eater,

they would kill before giving up their bread.
