Hi raw-all,
makes a lot of sense what you are writing. I wish I had known about it earlier.
what do you use for your veggie juice. would be juicing sprouts a good idea?
with the juicing thing I don't get it. Some say that it is superhealthy and others, a lot of paleos as well, think that stuff is poisonous because of the antinutritions and stuff. I think lots of greens have some antinutritions, carrots and things have starches, cruciferus have goiterogens, some plants have a lot of oxalic acid and so on. What do you think about wheatgras. And do you think smoothies could be good?
At the moment I just put vegetable, spices, meat or fish and something fatty like butter or coconut or bone marrow or avocado in a food processor and mix it until I cant be see or taste what it was before and than I can eat (and digest) it. actually it tastes quite good and I don't need much of it. I would love to let go of the huge amounts of food I had to eat as a raw vegan. You are so right with what you wrote about vata eating sprouts and vegetable's is like eating stones. This is how I feel a long time. I eat and I eat ( all so healthy stuff) but I am starving. The only time I could gain weight and substance while doing raw was when I ate a lot of high sugar fruit with nuts. But I was never very comfortable with all this fruit, made me irritable and hurt my teethe. High fat as a raw vegan did not work for me neather. I always felt sick with all this fat and the huge fat veggie smoothies I made. So I found this thing with eating sprouts as a staple food. Do you think it would be good to cook the sprouts
About eggs, this morning I was a bit hungry so I decided to start my day with two raw egg yolks. O my god, I was so sick the whole day, don't now if it was because 2 is to much or if it was just to early to eat, (normally I do not eat so fast after getting up? Anyway I have this problem a lot, I eat something, often if some fat is involved, and after it I am really really sick, often cant eaten for a long time after it, seems that everything rests in my stomach, does not moves for hours and makes me nauseous. At the end I often loose weight this way, funny because I did it simply to gain weight
Because raw paleo is also high fat I am wondering if I could strengthen my fat digesting abilities. Or is it that it will come when I have myself adapted with the new foods?
Why do you think that flax is not good for me? High in omega 3. And what about hemp?
I always head you should not eat the egg white raw. You think it is better?
How do you feel with the raw paleo diet? Do you recognize some improvement? I think I do have to read ajonious books, the fist one I bought already, the second one is quite expensive. Is there any other book you can recommend.
It must be difficult to stay on the diet while traveling. Where do you travel to?
all the best
