Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Kay [cpeterson0930] Friday, April 22, 2005 4:25 AM Re: [Raw Food] Water and detox I am not trying to avaid dates and nuts, I am just trying to cut back on the nuts because I eat a lot of them and avocados in a day...which from what I understand, we don't need an excess of these foods, just a little bit in a day. Thank you for your comment. N _____ Great, Kay! Actually, I eat none at all on most days, avocado occasionally, a few nuts only rarely, as at a potluck or something like that. We need neither the fat nor the indigestible fiber found in nuts and seeds. We do benefit from a small quantity of the fat etc. in avocado, but I find that even an avocado a week is sometimes too much at this point. Let's remember, all high-fat foods are, by definition, low-water and low-oxygen foods. The two nutrients we need most of are oxygen and water, by far, and also the nutrients that travel in water.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 In all fairness to the newbies, Elchanan (of which I am one!!) I think it should be mentioned that some long-term raw fooders do quite well eating a higer percentage of fat in their diet. I've been reading the Paul Nison books Raw Knowledge (I and II) and in it he features several longterm rawfooders who eat nuts and seeds daily. Some also eat grains. Also, Storm Talifero of thegardendiet.com eats nuts daily. He has been raw for 30 years or so and is the picture of perfect health and vitality. There are so many different philosophies out there as to which is the best way to eat raw that I think newcomers at least ought to be aware of them, then they can find what is right for their own body. swing --- " INFO @ Vibrant Life " <VLinfo wrote: > Kay [cpeterson0930] Friday, > April 22, 2005 4:25 AM > Re: [Raw Food] Water and detox > I am not trying to avaid dates and nuts, I am just > trying to cut back > on the nuts because I eat a lot of them and avocados > in a day...which > from what I understand, we don't need an excess of > these foods, just > a little bit in a day.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 On this note, Elchanan, could you possibly address your thoughts regarding fast oxidizers/slow oxidizers/mixed oxidizers. Dr. Gabriel Cousens believes that people are either one or the other and that fast oxidizers need a higher percentage of protein in their diets. Just wondering what your ideas are about individualizing diets with keeping in mind that none of our systems is exactly alike. Thanks in advance for your input. -Poppy rawfood [rawfood ] On Behalf Of swing bolder Saturday, April 23, 2005 6:41 AM rawfood RE: [Raw Food] Food...: Limiting high-wat foods * In all fairness to the newbies, Elchanan (of which I am one!!)
