Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hey guys : ) Just wondering if anyone knew of any good books I could read on the subject of raw foodism and/or veganism--its benefits, the myths, the facts, possible dangers, etc. I realize there are potentially many books, so I'll try to limit you and say I'm looking for something that has perhaps looked at the raw food diet/veganism and tried to ascertain what it does right and what it does wrong. I read today about how seeds/oils aren't actually all that good for you, and also that a low protein diet is also probably better (also read this in The China Study). Something I read suggested an 80-10-10 ratio for carbs to fats and protein. Websites you could direct me to are appreciated as well. Thanks : ) --Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 http://www.howtogoraw.com is a good resource for a private forum that has all sorts of perks in the way of reading material. It follows 80-10- 10. It was a lifesaver for me when I first started and today is my 11 month anniversary!

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine is a must for anybody going raw. Cousens' has 30 years experience with vegetarianism that led him to raw about 10 years ago. He is an MD, MD(H) and will provide you with the scientific and theoretical background for his recommendations. His belief is that there is no one ratio or specific raw diet for everyone. Since all of our bodies, genes, DNA, et. are a little different, our nutritional requirements differ. Be sure to read his books while making your decision as to what system you wish to follow. His books are available on amazon. His website is www.treeoflife.nu. They do have a board for posting questions and discussion but it is not very active. Cousens' system is an evolving one that changes to incorporate new information as this area evolves. Good luck.
