“We all had drilled into our heads ever since we were young that we need a lot of protein.” I actually never had anyone talk about or lecture me about protein until I became a vegan and all of a sudden everyone I knew was a nutritionist and a protein expert.
Raw In Progress Hahaha!!! So true 😂
I'm a long time vegetarian, and I started taking a DHA supplement after watching another one of your video's several years a go and I could really feel a difference. I felt like a switch got turned on. DHA is an expensive supplement but it I could really feel a difference, Thanks John, and your garden is gorgeous! I like in a city, and all I have is a grass plant for my cats!
Wow...A recipe book ..Fantastic! I have been wondering for a long time when you might share your recipes. I will most definitely be buying it. Thank you for all your years of sharing with us all...Very much appreciated.
Thank you for another great video. I always learn so much from you. Wonderful Information!
John, thank you for doing all you do. You have been such an inspiration for me on my Vegan journey! Finally breaking onto the TH-cam scene myself so I can pass it forward! You original content always keeps me coming back!
Thank you for this video John
Thanks John. After 6 years raw I think it's time I get some of these more detailed tests done to see where I'm at. Greatly appreciate your insights.
Great video John lots of info and length was good 😀👍thanks!
Great info. Thanks for helping others.
Just the info I needed!!👍
Amazing!!! Thank you for this Video!
You look great John. You haven't aged a day. I first followed you in 2014 and watched very single video on growing your teen. I've learnt a lot from you. Doing sprouts/permaculture now. Keep it going.
Good information. Thanks
Great video, John!
I love your chanel, keep up the good work.
We can get all the protein we need from an uncooked, plant-based diet *but* only if we are active enough to warrant eating an appropriate amount of food. This is something that should be mentioned. If a person is sedentary because they are coming from a sedentary lifestyle and had been eating the Typical Western Diet, and they now discover that this diet is unhealthy, so they transition to either a healthier or healthiest diet, they could be so caught up in learning about their new diet, that they haven't yet learned the importance of the other equally important requirements of robust future health. So if they are not as active as we're meant to be, but they eat according to their caloric needs, they'll eat enough food to supply those calories, but may NOT eat enough food to provide enough of a certain EAA or EFA. Although this is the exception and not the rule, an insufficiency *can* happen. And although not as bad as a deficiency, an insufficiency, if it goes on long enough, can negatively affect health, albeit very slowly. But conditions of ill health that slowly creep up on us are often the most insidious kind, because they're not as noticeable as the more acute symptoms. Food for thought.
You should do more YT videos
Food for thought here 👍
health101DOTorg so does this mean that you do not recommend DHA and EFA supplementation for a person following a Robert Morse book raw diet with 6 miles of walking (or equivalent) per day?
The only time I might recommend additional DHA and EPA is for a pregnant women, as per the philosophy of "better to be safe than sorry". Otherwise, if you're eating a balanced healthiest diet, this shouldn't be needed.
Yesterday, I checked out the new Atkins cookbook at the public library. It was filled with photos of delicious looking plant foods (ignoring the non-vegan bits which were surprisingly small looking on the plate). They also included recipes for two vegan smoothies, two green smoothie bowls and a Buddha bowl. I think it is apparent that we are starting to win the debate :)
Tnk you john , but what do you use for your natural source of magnesium tho? Looking forward for your book brother ,pls let us know more about it and where can we purchase tnk again . Keep blessed mush love
He eats about two pounds of greens a day and all kinds of fresh fruits and veg, nuts and seeds... he’s probably getting over 600 mg of magnesium a day this way ... when you eat that much veg... you don’t need to ‘focus’ on many nutrients
Great Video God bless
Been a fan of yours for many years. When you used to film in 480p lol. I follow all based starchy diet now. I get all my protein with my rice. I respect you very much, but you don't need that much plants. Potatoes,rice a few veggies and you're good.
Starch solution by Dr John McDougal. I recommend this book.
Still love the videos and still love the many plants we can eat that you recommend.
Please people watch Dr John McDougal 1h talk about these topics. I was long time raw diet eating nuts and still had nasty acne. Now I eat 95% starchy foods with few veggies and my acne is gone! No oil in my diet only 4%
Alejandro Rubio watch John rose debunk mcdougall, humans are not meant to eat starch or grains
Look forward to video on blood test for omega 3's! It the one thing i worry about DHA especially!
My recent omega 3 test was better than the one I did years ago, but was not significantly raised. I will be upping the levels of Water extracted DHA algae oil...
I’m new to raw veganism, so far so good. But What’s your take on high estrogen content in flaxseeds lowering testosterone ? Thanks !!
John how do you keep the white butterflies off your collards and broccoli and cruciferous veg??
I have heard all different things that broccoli shouldn't be eaten raw is this true ? Apprantly its because its a cruciferous vegetable and can affect the thyroid please could you try and clear this up ?
John I've tried that living spirulina. That stuff is going to solve malnutrition around the world . So incredible. Eventually the price of that stuff will be affordable for all
There isn't even 100 calories in a $70 bottle of that stuff.
What kind of tests do you recommend?
John, what about bone broth? My dog loves Kale stems. When I found out how nutritious they are, we now share them . I have a healthy dog.
You gave a link to DHA supplement. But what about EPA?
Great, thank you. Its a just pity that you never answer my questions :( Sad.
Also, another example of the healthiest source of protein is Lentil Sprouts / Mung Bean Sprouts / Various Sprouts.
Spirulina has been proven to be toxic in some cases according to nutritionfacts. Chlorella seems to be safe though and still contains alot of protein. But since you should limit your daily consumption to around 10g. You will only get ~5g's of protein from that......
If you put 1DL of dried lentils to sprout. You get 200 Grams of sprouted lentils in total which equals to about ~45-50grams of protein
Lentil flour? Why not eat the lentils living instead? :)
do u still recommend the best supplement omega 3 from this company : "source omega" chromista-oil-organic ?
What do you think about Dr Sebi saying carrots are man made and are a hybrid veg....
16:10
not only that but if saturated fat is low and pufas (omega 3/6) r high testosterone drops
thats why coconut (mcts) cocoa (stearic acid) and shea (stearic acid) r so nice
Also shouldn't the living spirulina have DHA?
I HOPE IT COMES WITH WHERE YOU GET ALL YOUR STUFF TOOOOOO!
I heard from several sources, that we recycle protein and most people only need something around 20 grams of protein per day ... even on a raw vegan diet, according to chronometer, I have a hard time keeping my protein intake under 40 grams... I take this as an indication that no more than 50 to 60 grams of protein needs to be consumed... and my understanding, is that somewhere around 60% average protein from fresh fruits and veg consumed is synthesized, so if you are getting around fifty grams of protein dietary intake, that should be plenty... people who train hard physically or who work hard physically, may benefit from more and would likely consume more food, thus more protein... but, it’s not too hard to get ... I am doing a low protein diet as a strategy to get rid of a large fibroid tumor and until recently, I wasn’t really sure how low to aim for... essentially, it is methionine I want to restrict and I decided to try to keep that under 30% of my rda, according to chronometer... and it usually translates to around forty grams of total protein
okraw+ What is the least expensive high protein? Spirulina can be pricey.
FOR8YESHUA broccoli, spinach, kale, chia seeds (one of the best sources of omegas and protein) any seeds or sprouts will also be high. Sprout your seeds yourself. It's so much more affordable.
For all those who have questions on protein I would check out Dr Robert morse
jay blizzard Morse Rocks!!!
Man I wish his knowledge would go main stream already
Alfalfa powder is actually better than spirulina, dr morse likes alfalfa as the best protein source
Morse's diet wasn't enough for me and I was his phone client with followups & spent $$$ on his supps. Reactive hypoglycemia, per my ND. Nuts give me joint pain.
Have you seen Dr Morse lately? I guess he heard all the comments on him being overweight, so he now "looks" like he crash dieted. But, he lost muscle & looks soft. Why doesn't he do resistance training too to tone up? Maybe *he* needs more nutrients to gain muscle.

i know raw vegans like their amino acids much
but i somehow think that there is some sort of nitrogen requirement too (thats the thing thats not in aminoacids aka non proteinous foods)
as long term raw vegan look at nitrogen rich foods and tell me honestly that u dont want to eat them
not sure if there is science to back this up but i know what i know
if any1 wants a good protein source on a raw vegan diet - go for pumpkin seeds
they r also high in magnesium (everyone is deficient who doesnt supplement or takes superfoods) zinc (typical raw vegan deficiency) and potassium (always nice to have)
and no fat doesnt make u fat, except if u mix it with carbs
so dont fear pumpkin seeds
they r also probably the most satiating food there is....im a monster when it comes to hunger and i could barely eat 100g (dry) soaked in 1 sitting
sooooooooDark I bought soaked, sprouted, dehydrated pumpkin seeds. Do I need to resoak them?
i find dry foods digest poorly cuz they drain u off of ur water
id do it yes
but u can just throw them into the blender and make some salad dressing out of them and some extra water to skip that step :D
John you Won. Again😀
👍👍
Hey John, we love your videos! I work with BroadbandTV and would love to talk to you about a business opportunity. Let me know the best way to reach you if you're interested.
Cheers.
Why aren't you growing your own algae and sea vegetables?
Flax and such have ALA. the body can convert that to DHA but does not do it efficiently. DHA supplement is recommended but do a plant based supplement based on algae not fish oil
rocco petitti Synthesis of fatty acids happens in cytoplasm until 16 C atoms are reached (fatty acids are formed by adding unit to unit and each unit has 2 carbon atoms - a unit is called acetil CoA). The final product is called palmitate (16 C atoms). Prolongation of palmitate happens on one particular organell of the cell and then it can be prolonged to 18 C (stearate). There is difference between plant and animal organism, in mean of possession of specific enzymes. Animal (human) organism doesn't have the enzyme which will form double bonds in fatty acids (make unsaturated fats), which means the human body can't form alpha linoleic acid, which is precursor for EPA and DHA. So we say linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid bc it can't be produced by our body, but also are EPA and DHA, bc they are produced from linoleic acid. You can take sufficient amount of linoleic acid (sources like chia, flaxseed, hemp) and you'll be fine bc it can be converted to EPA and DHA. Or you can also take EPA and DHA directly from certain sources - fish, algae oil etc. (which I would not recommend for various other reasons.)
To people saying we don't need much protein because breastmilk is low in protein..... I did some calculations...
A one month old baby weighs on average 3.8kg.
It drinks about 750ml breastmilk a day.
Breastmilk is 0.9% protein.
So, that's 6.75g protein per day.
6.75g of protein for a 3.8kg baby is *almost 2g per kg* That's quite a lot.
Granted, we are not babies anymore, but to say a baby hardly gets any protein is ridiculous. Also, if your body is very damaged, doing a lot of manual labour or you're underweight, you'll need extra protein to rebuild it. One size doesn't fit everyone.
(I got the 0.9% value from. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/392766/
I presume the 0.9% value is by weight, not by %of calories, because the other values... E. G fats and carbs did not add up to 100% but around 15% total).
Fish algae where do you draw the line those poor lil algeas 😢 haha I wouldn't eat it looks like some one pooped in a jar
A "TruGreen" video played with your video. TH-cam is really "Mean" with their "Ad placement

there is actually a nice thing about things such as oils (which is why i consider them whole foods, just as juices):
they make u able to manipulate ur macros as u wish
for example:
instead of eating coconuts whole (a "white" food as ud call it - but ye i know u like them regardless...well they r damn tasty i know) u can have coconut oil and the carb content (17% of total coconut calories) u can instead eat foods that r much more powerful
for example 1 coconut may got around 1000 calories (5% protein 17% carb or so) so instead of wasting 22% of ur calories on weak versions of carbs and proteins u can take some proper protein such as creatine or BCAAs (i know - not even whole foods but still...raw vegan kidneys r underworked anyways so...) and goji berries or blueberries for the carbs
manipulating nature at its finest
one day ppl will realize there is no such thing as whole foods - no one eats the whole rice plant including roots
dr greger is a blind fool
nwo'd af without knowing
probably infertile with his long term low fat approach
Yee Yee
That is why you have to eat fish.
Juice is a processed food.
Interesting how Vegans say you dont need animal protein, but you get " crickets" when you say Nut, soy, gluten intolerance...They have no response, just eat more Nuts & tofu & lettuce.
This garden does not belong to him! It's minr!

0.8 rda of protein is new world order amount of protein
it doesnt produce manly man nor womanly woman
any raw fooders look into the mirror and realize it
(okay those that exercise a lot may get "enough" protein due to excess calories)
and no im not dissing on raw vegans, im one of u (okay more of a raw vegetarian but w/e lol)
If it is wrong to at meat then god would have ade us to not be able to eat meat. The word eat is in the word meat.
