Hi John - I have studied with Robert Morse ND for the last few years and I believe that the thinness and gauntness some folks experience on a raw food diet is directly related to malabsorption in the gut. Dr. Morse talks about malabsorption as the mucus congestion in the GI system which blocks the nutrient absorption. It occurs from eating a Standard American Diet for most of our lives before starting a health program. A good resource to learn about malabsorption is Dr. Kelly's "One Answer to Cancer" book found for free on the web. I see a lot of raw foodists pounding nutrition and still remaining ultra thin. This is very worrisome to their family members. Moving the lymphatic congestion throughout the body appears to be the only way to fix the malabsorption problem. Dr. Morse's "Great Lymphatic System" video elaborates on this process. Grapes, citrus and melons appear to be the most effective foods in accomplishing this task. In my opinion, what some people online have labeled as "Rope Worms" is really all this gunk keeping nutrition from being assimilated into the body. Once this deep cleansing process occurs I have found that being a perfectionist with food (measuring calories, making sure it's pristine and organic) isn't as important. I always advocate finding the cleanest, highest quality "hydrating, living foods" to keep the lymph system moving but do not believe that "raw" is the best/only way to go since there are so many dehydrated, raw junk foods and gourmet foods out there. Another reason why some raw foodists look older is because they don't understand how their endocrine glands work. In order to improve overall health we must address all four processes - Digestion, Absorption, Utilization and Elimination. If we don't improve glandular function then we cannot properly utilize our nutrition. Supplements might prop up lab levels but we haven't fixed the underlying problems. Once we improve things like adrenal gland function then the body's lymphatic system improves and healthy energy and appearance follow. B-12 also normalizes as it is manufactured in healthy adrenal glands. This regeneration process can take anywhere from 1-5 years so it's important to document positive benefits along the way to stay motivated. Thanks for doing what you do and for being an ambassador for vibrant health : )
AWESOME
The one thing I don't understand is, why does Dr. Morse look like he has so much weight on him?
***** But every other raw foodist I've seen doesn't have that much weight? And many have been that way for years. How does metabolism slow down?
O Interesting
+Tom's Guitar and Garden This is definitely dependent on the individual and this is just my opinion but I can definitely say that I require less food now than I did 3 years ago when I started eating more raw, living foods. I don't actually think it is a function of a slowing metabolism though. My metabolism and energy levels are much, much higher than they were a decade ago. I think my reduced dietary intake needs are more of a function of eating lots of astringent cleansing foods (like grapes, citrus and melons) which have cleaned out a lot of the mucus gunk that was keeping me from properly absorbing my nutrition. I liken this gunk to paper mache (the flour & water art project). All this mucus keeps the body from assimilating the nutrition leaving us overfed and undernourished. When we are absorbing well we'll feel nourished/satisfied on less food. When we heal our adrenal glands we normalize our blood sugar metabolism which allows us to keep blood sugar stable for longer periods of time. Hope this helps!
That 71 year old lady only looked 30 years younger, she looks amazing for her age.
OK; let's say 10-15; really no need to go overboard
Truly.
30 what kind of 3Oyr old people do you know? Her weight alone proves she has cardiovascular disease. My mother is 86 and she looks better than her.
she looks overweight
Wow, 71. That's just incredible. She looks in her late 40s or early 50s, but there is no way 71. WOW
I really liked what Lou said about honoring every person. So important to be free. I needed that reminder.
Loved this. Great to hear all these wonderful people put in their bits of wisdom, humour and beauty. And your own teachings at the end are totally inspiring. What a community!
This was an incredible introduction to the Raw Community and pioneers within it. Thank you! I have to take a moment to call out how amazing Nomi looked. Wow! This was such a great video to watch today. So motivational!
I got 18 points on Health from the video. I enjoyed how the simple question garnered so many positive answers. For me the one over arching thought was, "You can't build health without managing your lacks. Your chain of health is only as good as your weakest link." This is my first time on your channel. Really a great segment.
I love this format. It's great to have different opinions and cover every possible aspect. :)
Rosine Rehnmark Me too
Lou Corona!!! Hit the nail on the head . I eat a plant based diet ... I struggle always with the harsh judgement that comes out of vegan / raw vegan ... some of the most violent with their words people I have ever met have been vegans . Save the animals but tear apart other humans ... absolutely this is the lack of health ... health starts with what is in our heart . If one does not love other human beings than any of the pious reasons to not eat meat they may want to convince another of .
Listening to our bodies ... there is not a one size fits all .
Balance
tanya shaw unfortunately, this is very true. I have worked in customer service for 30 years....since I was 17. 13 years of that was in a Co-op, and some of the rudest, angriest, pushy and demanding customers are those who have a diet with a cause (which could be religious as well). It’s amazing how quickly they turn upon others to get what they want.
Wow, thank you for this very informative video! Many mushrooms (most edible ones) should be cooked, usually at high heat, to be useful in the human diet, and to be eaten in any meaningful amount. To raise vitamin D levels of mushrooms, they should be exposed to the sun for a few hours before cooking. Morels should never be eaten raw as they are toxic in this state. Grocery store 'champignons de Paris', crimini portobello (all the same mushroom in different colors/stages) are slightly toxic eaten raw, but anticarcinogenic when heated at high temps. Since mushrooms are legitimately the 'fruit of the forest', and legitimate ethical and cruelty-free yet delicious flesh, as an aspiring fruitarian (as Jane Goodall is an aspiring vegan?) and a lover of the forests and fine cuisine, I cannot conceive becoming entirely raw because of mushrooms. However, I can conceive of a diet where I eat more or less 'sun': fruits, nuts, leafy greens, sprouts etc during the day, and 'moon' in the evening: mushrooms, roots, potatoes, fermentations, spices, cooked and raw.... Also, fruitarians and vegans generally should be aware of the power of herbs, and include them in a relaxed but consistent fashion into their daily diet. I am thinking, for example, of parsley, oregano, celery leaf, sage, olive leaf, cilantro, ginger, turmeric, cayenne, etc... We shouldn't turn up our noses at eating commestible clays either if we need to detoxify our inner environments from laissez-faire industrialization in a hurry. Peace! Save the forests, become a locavore vegan! Grow a garden, not a dictatorship!
OMG, you did it again! How do you keep on banging out all these Exciting Videos!?!?!?
Just found your channel today!! Ive been reaserching it on line for a while. Long story short I am from Brazil but I live in Japan. I want to change my eating style. I Found super super surprising to find your videos only today as Ive been looking around about a month! THank you so much for your work and for never stopping this channel!!!!!!! amazing informations!
I love these videos everyone has so much good input and in the end it all adds up to a clear picture being painted to answer the question, I haven't seen anyone else do this style of video I think it's genius.
The one doctor said something that makes so much sense. Everyone is overweight these days and the one person who is skinny or slim looks "unhealthy" to them.
I love Dan 's answer very much. I have found that a large number of raw foodists are facing some health challenges which is what made them go raw in the first place. So without the raw food they might look worse. ...
Great work John!!!
I feel so much love for everyone in this video. Great people.
I loved this video
thank you for making it, okraw. I think everyone had valid points. I'd also like to say that the detoxing that happens when going raw after many years of a SAD can bring on some unwanted effects, like not looking or feeling so good. Also, parasites can be a situation that adds to loss of so much weight that people want to feed you stuff you know would only feel worse. I think the main focuses should be, as Mr. Corona said, our spiritual paths (not judging others but working on ourselves), and the lymph system.....Also, assuring there are many good quality foods in the diet and foods that keep parasites at bay and to assure that we are eliminating and especially when dislodging old stuff from intestines.This experience in itself can retoxify the bloodstream. The point is to persevere and not give in to cravings, because those cravings could be resulting from starving parasites begging for their old diet of stuff they loved.
I really liked your answers John. They were deep, insightful and felt like they were full of authentic compassion. However, I wish that just ONE person had the courage to say that the reason some raw foodists look unhealthy is because not everyone should be a raw foodist. There never has been and never will be a one size fits all for human beings and spiritual health is just as important as physical, mental and emotional health. Spiritual health makes it possible for us to respect the variety in nature manifested and expressed by the Divine Intelligence of the universe. As a vegan and mostly raw foodist myself, I believe we need to stop saying that eating meat is bad because a large portion of all beings on the planet eat flesh and I include them as part of my earth family. Great video and thumbs up for the guy who said you can't judge a book by it's cover. That pretty much sums up how we can truly start living healthier lives on this beautiful planet.
John, thanks so much for all of the work you do. Your videos are very inspiring and informative. Much love to you.
Thanks so much for this indepth interview with so many of your friends that are into this lifestyle. It's so reassuring and gratifying to know that a person is not alone deciding to be on this journey and wanting to change from a unhealthy to a healthy life and become a person who wants to eat a raw living foods diet and wanting it to become a lifestyle.
You need to have a part two regarding this topic especially with some people you couldn't interview in the first because of time restrictions

Stephen Arlin Paul Nison to name a few
Have a Blessed Life Ali
Thank you for the collaborative pure energy!! Sending love! Great video!
Great video John. You included many different people with varied raw food styles and choices. Beats me how people can still be leaving narrow minded and judgemental comments. Thanks for your work.
Honestly I dont even care if I look healthy, I just need to feel healthy. That matters most. Like you said looks are deceiving.
CHANIE POO
Exactly you can fool people externally. Especially with procedures. But your internals like your Heart and liver will tell the real story all day long.
the more beatiful the more healthier
That's good... I'm not the same, I go to the gym 6 days a week (partly) in order to be bigger! I am raw vegan 12 years and feel AMAZINGGGGGGGG!!
Good video. I like this interviewing different friends style for a whole range of ideas. Thanks, enjoyed it. Peace
As so many other people who look unhealthy, raw foodists looking unhealthy do not listen to their bodies and maybe stick to a certain diet somebody prescribes them instead of tweaking their diet to their needs. 80/10/10 e.g. may not be for all, maybe it is 70/15/15 or 70/10/20 for some.
Some raw foodists go crazy on monomealing and try to outdo each other on how many days they can go on watermelon etc. I even talked to a guy who said the ONLY raw vegan way to go was 600-800kcals of greens and sunlight. When I asked a few critical questions because I wanted to know if he could exercise with such calory deficiency he said this discussion was way too stupid for him.
I started to doubt raw food because I met so many people who did not use their common sense any longer and did not want to see that to eat a raw foods diet you must be willing to learn more and more about food and your body every single day.
I am happy that I found your channel because you do not just promote a lifestyle, you transport knowledge about raw foods in an understandable common sense way.
What are some of the best books or websites to learn how to follow this diet? am going to start.
Wow that was so cool! I love those videos John :)
Lou was giving us the full download, he is the best and Dan too
So cool hearing so many different experienced raw foodists' perspectives! Great video, thank you!
This is good to know. Some belive it is just meat deprivation but when I look at you and Markus I see you guys are doing well. You all know what you are doing.
Wonderful information that you shared - thank you!
Thank you, you even listed all the interviewees down the description
Hey I love your videos but I'm doing a research paper and looking for articles on phytochemicals. I'm having trouble finding some good peer reviewed ones and I was wondering if you had any recommendations? Thanks!
Very interesting, I enjoy watching your interview episodes👍🏽
Lou Corona This guy is da lecturer. I did a rewind twice to listen to him again. Believe me I like people who shout when they're talking like John Kohler does. This man's soft spoken explanations just got my attention. Great video John. Watch when he asked "does that make sense?" " Yeah it does "19.47 great job
Great and very good guests. I really enjoyed this. Thanks John.
Nomi, Omg, I thought she was in her early 40s!! Raw diet is so convincing!)
Oh, my Goodness! I knew Lou Corona in Riverside, Ca many years ago when I was taking classes from him on digestive enzymes! It's great to see him and he looks so great! He got me started on my path to questioning my SAD diet. Love your videos John. They make me happy.
You are very thorough and for that deserve high praise. It took a lot of work and it shows in the results.
Disclaimer: I am not a raw foodist but I am eating a lot more raw veggies daily now, for weight control, disease prevention and of course appearance.
When it comes to basic conversation in social settings, I believe many people are ignorant of many of the intricacies of manners, one of which is to not to criticize other people's appearances. I think it is fine to make a comment about an appearance as long as it is made clear the comment is a compliment. In addition, it's hard for people to understand all the rules of manners so we can educate them. We've all hurt people without knowing it and we'd love to know when we do it so we can avoid in the future.
However, there still are going to a few people who are resentful. They have insecurities so deep seated they need to insult others to feel better about themselves.
The ideas I heard in the video are: raw foodists are actually healthy compared to others, but not 'normal' because they way less, and many people oversimplify that not being normal is being unhealthy (which is wrong).
Also, some people started sick /unhealthy, and haven't had enough time to receive positive health benefits to show in their appearance.
Some raw foodists may eat very unhealthy raw food products too much. In addition, some may miss some key vitamins such as vitamin D and B12, which aren't obtained naturally without care by vegans.
raw foodists that eat mostly fruit look more unhealthy than one that eat some fruit and more veggies
lol we dont all eat "bananas and dates all day" ohhh the shade
Megan is just hating on durianrider and freelee.
+david lomeli well they need it because they always shame people that aren't raw or aren't as skinny as freely
Megan does not look half as good as Freelee.
+david lomeli she looks healthy compared to her. freelee looks like a meth head
+Valencia Sanchez Hahaha your so vicious!
GREAT point, Dr. Dina!! Diet labels say more about what one DOESN'T eat, than what one DOES eat!!
Superb video, well done! Thank you soooo much.
Great video John. Only one person (Dan) mentioned technology, which is taxing most people's bodies and minds unnecessarily. Eating an all raw diet can make us more prone to being affected by the man-made EMFs around us, so it becomes that much more important to reduce our exposures whenever possible.
Excellent vid!!!! Thanks for all the wisdom!!
Awesome video! Thank you John!
Absolutely amazing info. Extremely helpful - Wow!
GREAT VIDEO !!!! So many wonderful points ! Thank you.
I had a college roommate who ate raw food and also drank PBR constantly. Yeah.
lol Lou Corona! Ha! My baby cells are fine. I love the doctor you get blood tests from. He's so real. I love this video. I love the way you spread love in the raw community. This is a great Q & A of the different points of view. There were raw folks like Nomi, I'd never heard of.. he hair is so dark for 71!
What about raw grains? I have yet to find a raw vegan who consumes some sprouted raw grains and legumes. I am transitioning to a mostly raw diet and those are the two factors that are holding me back. I currently have very little income and I'm trying to have a great diet on such a tiny budget. I currently eat foods with only roughly $40 allotted for each week's groceries. I know consuming some grains and legumes will help balance my budget while also making the transition more easy. Are there any raw foodists here or mostly raw vegans who eat some grains or legumes? If so, any advice or resources would be much appreciated.
+Nicole Manuel, CPC (The Personal Eco-nomist) In some raw food circles, higher sprouted grains or sprouted legumes are consumed. Many legumes are not edible raw (even if sprouted). I would encourage a 80% raw (fruit and veg based) along with 20% (or more) sprouted and steamed beans with some sprouted and cooked grains if you need it.
Currently I can not afford 100% raw and live too much on the road to be able to grow anything myself. I purchase my organic produce through local food coops and health food stores. I do not earn enough to sustain eating both organic and fully raw. I use grains and legumes to offset the financial costs and also as a transitional tool. I am aware that many legumes and grains can not be eaten raw; however, do you recommend not eating any sprouted grains and legumes raw? What are the benefits to sprouted raw vs sprouted cooked?
+Nicole Manuel, CPC (The Personal Eco-nomist) sprouting deactivates a toxic enzyme in grains and beans. Steaming enhances the nutritional availability after sprouting so it is a win win scenario.
+Tiffany Boone So you would recommend steaming grain and bean sprouts instead of just eating them raw?
Yes because those things are actually easier to digest when lightly cooked due to ridding them of the toxic enzymes that would otherwise prevent nutrition uptake. If you are healthy and just want to be healthier..that is a good way to go. I would, however, get into wheatgrass (growing and juicing). If you do it yourself..it's pretty cheap. I bought a great hand crank juicer for $23 and it's perfect for wheatgrass. I bought a 35LB bag of wheat berries for $35. Great considering the powder is $20!
Thanks John for making this video! you definitely have all the top raw foodists in one video!
This is one the most informative video I have ever seen. Please share!!!
I guess it's a good sign that I knew a lot of the people interviewed. Dan's answer reached me the most.
Wow @ 10:37 Tim Van Orden HAD THE BEST ANSWER!
I met a guy who tried raw food for a while and gave up and totally bashes it. He said he became seriously underweight and had bad skin. So I asked him what he´d eat in a day. He was avoiding fruits because "sugar makes you fat, duh", and he was eating mostly greens, less fats...I estimated his daily intake to be no more than 500-700 calories. So yeah, on the raw food diet, some people overeat on nuts, and overall too many calories, while some people just seriously undereat.
Hello Charlotte madadi
Beautiful video, John. Thanks for being a lamp in the darkness.
started my raw food journey 2.5 months ago and love it. I have lost weight on this diet but slowly I do not want to lose it to fast. I eat a lot of veggies of all kinds different ones everyday. and sometime I have a green smoothie or a fruit smoothie, every morning or I eat a oatmeal with fruit in the morning called a fridge rated oatmeal yes its still raw. by Christina's videos. lots and lots of water and exercise daily. since I started this diet I sleep like a baby and feel great. I sometimes tingle a good tingle love this diet. the tingle sometimes just feels so good. I know I have a long journey ahead of me but I am motivated and excited about the future. love this diet. learning more recipes everyday.
Great resource guide!
👍 Nice video. Viktoras was fun. 😃 I'll have to look him up. I don't know much about him.
Dan McDonald's answer was on point. Love your channel John xx
Every vegan I've met is suffering from severe vitamin deficiecy.B12,vitamin D,DHA/EPA essential fatty acid deficiency.Low calorie intake and not enough healthy fats is another problem.
Thanks! This video had a lot of good info that I will look into to adjust my vegan lifestyle to be even healthier!
Thank you for everything, you make a difference :-*
I've had dark black eye rings all my life from what i remember.since i became raw many people have comment about them in a negative way. how to i get rid of them? and why are they there?
this was very helpful thanks!
Thank you so much for this video :) it helps so much :)
I think beside personal reasons of your guest the constant I heard was have a well balanced raw diet and exercise. It is unfortunate that so many are judgemental. Great info.
I have certainly seen plenty of people go on raw vegan diets that degrade very quickly, and others that thrive on raw foods. I am a firm believer that we are all wired very differently. I went raw vegan years ago thinking that it would improve my health and I went downhill FAST, within a month I was completely disabled yet people kept telling me that I would adapt but I could not take it anymore. I went the opposite direction and got on a keto diet and every marker of health improved within a week, and by time the one month mark passed I had lost exactly 20lbs, my blood pressure dropped a whopping 62 points, I was sleeping much better at night, my crazy bouts of deep depression disappeared completely, and my lifelong struggle with reactive hypoglycemia was not even a minor concern. Long story short we are all very different and there is no one diet that is ideal for all people, those who teach such nonsense are simply ignorant, find what works for you.
Thin but soft, sunken darken eyes, discolored teeth - all very common for raw foodist.
Any diet that REQUIRES supplementation should be suspect.
--- this from a primarily, but not exclusively, raw vegan.
That's ALL diets these days. We don't live in a lush wonderland full of wild fruit and free range game. Discolored teeth are normal for all diets, people who are raw vegan are just less likely to want to put a bunch of chemicals in their mouth to cover up that fact. If no one whitened their teeth, we'd all be yellowish teeth by 40.
deathlightdb YOU SAID: "That's ALL diets these days.
REPLY: No it isn't. The ailments commonly associated with raw veganism are NOT associated with a diverse whole-foods diet that includes some cooked foods and some animal products.
YOU SAID: "We don't live in a lush wonderland full of wild fruit and free range game."
REPLY: Vegans always use that argument, but it's an "appeal to ignorance logical fallacy" as there is no evidence to support such a claim nor can there ever be as the conditions of their premise can never be duplicated - if it were ever true at all!
YOU SAID: "Discolored teeth are normal for all diets."
REPLY: You are correct. I should have been more specific - actual dental health issues (cavities, browning, sensitivity, etc.). Just navigate raw food community threads and you will see many people talking about issues with dental health. Dental health problems are an issue for raw-foodist by their own admission.
I'm not really interested in engaging with you any further, but I will give one final piece of advice. Go read some books about the differences between wild greens and fruit vs agriculturally grown ones, and on grain fed animal flesh vs free range. That wonderland comment is not a joke, and not just a piece of rhetoric. Don't throw words like "appeal to ignorance" around when you're debating about a subject you've clearly done zero research on; on which you are clearly and ironically, the ignorant one. Even organic food is nutritionally superior to the conventionally grown plants that most people are forced to consume, either via budget concerns, or availability. And even common sense would tell you it's true; wild primates who still have adequate ranges of natural territory can go out, eat whatever greens and fruit they feel like eating, and not just survive, but thrive. They don't have to reference charts or wonder whether they should be eating more greens or cauliflower. Given their biological similarities, this speaks VOLUMES to the superiority of wild food. And there are a lot of studies done on the nutritional qualities of food eaten by wild primates, how they eat them, choose them, everything. You should read those, too. Or just, you know, anything other than TH-cam comments and crappy internet pages. Your googled copy/paste of the phrase "appeal to ignorance logical fallacy" shows that you don't even know how to use the term correctly. It is a named phenomena in debate and discourse. Had you even had the competence to insult me correctly, you would have simply asserted (however incorrectly), that my argument was an appeal to ignorance, or something similar, instead of throwing the title of a Wikipedia entry at me.
deathlightdb YOU SAID: "blah blah blah , no evidence, a couple ad hominem attacks, blah blah, a false equivalency, blah blah..."
REPLY: That wasn't even a good try at supporting your argument. Wow, just pathetic. Not only did you absolutely use the appeal to ignorance logical fallacy when making your original argument, but now you are using a false equivalency logical fallacy to try to defend your failed argument. Then you throw in a couple ad hominem attacks and then the crème de la crème, your hilarious use of the ol' "where did you get that? Wikipedia?" grade school insult -- LOL!! oh my! I have a cramp from laughing so hard!!
Next time try to actually support your failed argument with actual evidence. Oh what's that? you can't because that would require a time machine to bring you to the distant past for which you nor anyone else has actual evidence of?
Yeah, just as I thought.
Some Raw foodists I found looked like meth heads, like seriously whereas there are many others such as okraw look really good.
I love to watch old movies and I'm just amazed how small people are. Women have little waist lines and the Men they are small as well. Today people are a lot bigger than just 20 years ago. We are so use to seeing all the Large People all around us daily then when we see a person that is healthy they look. It is hard for small people to find nice clothes here in Louisville , KY. I'm 5 ft 2 in and weigh 125 and man I have a hard time finding clothes.
you did good job man. thank u so much
Enjoyed this video. Lots of good insight! :)
you've got some good looking, articulate friends man. Nice video.
When the Dalai Lama fled Tibet, He was a meat eater because that was the standard diet, not a lot of vegetables grown and farmed there- the climate, soil and environment is not conducive to that. When he went to India to live he became vegetarian like the majority of the people there. but his health suffered. His genetics etc. were shaped by untold generations of eating meat. The doctors told him to return to the original diet, and his vibrant health returned. There are many factors that contribute to health, and diet can't be one size fits all. I bounce between 50/50 raw up to 70% raw/ 30%not.
All humans are designed to eat animal products.......A vegan diet destroys health!
Yes,I read he has to eat meat once a week or he DL gets quite ill.
Also the gut and bacteria in it which is passed down to us from parents grandparents and so on or destroyed with antibiotics etc.....great vid~especially liked the end comments u gave
love this thank you
Besides Juicing Veggies & Fruits, I sometimes Steam My veggies in a Bamboo Steamer, which is very healthy eating also, for a little change of pace etc.
People also forget about genetics. Black people typically had a varied diet and somewhat heavy in the meat department but also in the veggie department not so much in their fruits. And we typically look 10 to 20 years younger than we are. I am 40 years old and people constantly tell me I look like I'm my 18 year old daughter's sister. So I think it definitely has to do with that as well.
amazing video, good job!
Great video....thank you SO much! :)
Hello Liz Forrest
Thank you for sharing
She is beautiful & her face is radiant & she looks years younger than she is but why is she overweight if she only eats raw fruits/vegetables? How is it possible?
John, you either look heathy or your don't. Honesty might help people to change the lack of Nutrition, even if they're eating raw. It's usually not the weight, it's in the dehydrated, gaunt, bulging eyes. Criticism isn't necessarily judgmental. I'm a Certified Nutritionist that works in the Fitness World. There are plenty of healthy meat eaters, who get plenty of exercise and sleep and love. Food cult mentalities is the real problem....not food.
+Cynthia Millar Actually criticism is judgmental, but judgement isn't necessarily bad.
Cynthia Millar omg word!!
Dehydration on a raw food diet?! Possible of course but less likely than on a SAD diet! We eat sweet fruit filled with water and salads! We eat plenty of things that contain water and we don't eat carbonised cooked food that takes a lot more digestive energy and water to digest.
Cynthia Millar agreed. Regardless of your chosen dietary avenue, moderation and variation is necessary. What scares me is when people live their day to day lives revolving around their diet.
@@tomr1056 just because it's slightly healthier than SAD doesn't mean it's healthy. Lots of raw foodists are unhealthy like fullyrawkristina that looks like a 45 year old smoker. I'm vegan btw but I follow a balanced diet with couple cheat meals and I look 10 years younger.
Hello John, amazing interviews of all guests were awesome, but Mr. Lou Corona....... WOW!!! He educates on a more Spiritual level and I commend him.
Amazing interviews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lou's answer is spot on. There are plenty of non-raw foodists that look healthy because they have the right thoughts. Unhealthy thoughts make the body unhealthy no matter what your diet, even raw. Also many raw foodists may not be absorbing everything, may not be chewing all their food till they are liquid etc., may not be getting enough minerals, etc. Getting the full spectrum of nutrients is key, and chewing till your food is liquid every single time you take a bite is SO important to being successful on a raw food diet, because heat is not breaking down the food beforehand. Drinking LOOOOOOTS of water/liquids and going to bed early and getting a reasonable amount of exercise has also shown me to be very helpful.
I love the work Karen does, and respect her so much for working with raising healthy children and teaching about healthy raw foods, but when people blame the healthy fats for making people fat that is only half of the story. I will eat up to a pound of freshly cracked macadamia nuts in a day, or 4 avocados in one sitting for weeks, or pour 1/4 cup of oil on my meals, and I am still pretty thin (5' 3" under 100lbs last I checked). The key is how you consume and combine those fats with things that allow them to be utilized (like greens and non sweet fruits like cucumber or lemon - don't combine with sweet things which raw foodists like to do like dates or honey or maple syrup... it's okay once in a while but not everyday and certainly when you are starting out it will keep weight on or even make you gain it) and not consuming rancid or cooked fats and oils thinking they are raw and fresh. Very very key.
All in all though I think healthy thoughts make a person healthy, and you will naturally gravitate toward healthier eating habits. If someone goes to a raw food diet out of fear or dogma but does not change their thoughts, they may hit a wall with their progress... I've experienced it myself. Great video.
ExSQUEEZE ME! Nomi, is nearly 71???!!!!! OMG she looks amazing! I'm going to have to look in to this diet seriously...
Great video, thank you
Hi! I am going to try this raw thing again. I was vegetarian for 14 years and developed health issues. I've been doing a more paleo type of diet, but I am still feeling sick. I think I will do my weekdays as raw and then still eat some paleo stuff on the weekend so that I don't totally shock my system. How are you all getting enough protein? I cannot eat wheat, beans, or dairy, which I am assuming is off-limits to you raw vegan folks. Cheers!
I've been eating raw for 2.5 weeks, and I've seen so many videos on TH-cam about protein! Look for them, protein is in everything. Just make sure to eat enough.
You rock the subject. You rock the question. You brought people on the rocked the answer. I'm mostly raw food and I look like I eat animals that eat raw 😂😭😂. A lot of raw food is go hard in the paint. Don't go a little hard they go full bore hardcore raw and that determination and dedication is good in the marathon not the sprint. They don't seek out help, assistance, teaching, guidance your know like from people like you and your friends and that's why you look fantastic. If they keep following you they're going to be good❤️
Good video - Thank you!
That's an interesting answer that you gave that nobody else touched on. People will be looking out more for your flaws when you are promoting a controversial diet or lifestyle.
+Fruit Fun Fitness It's not a controversial diet, it's just that someone is claiming it's the "healthiest diet on the planet" so you need to walk the talk with that claim. That being said, in my opinion is that many/most rawists focus ONLY on food and not on the other parts of LIFE that are crucial for health, such as Sun/Light, Air, Water and constant contact with the Earth. Actually those things are far more important than food of any kind...
+NuNativs I don't think it should be controversial but that doesn't change the reality that it is met with allot of confusion and fear and scepticism.
Fruit Fun Fitness I would say it’s those pushy, “all knowing”, and condescending people of any group promoting any form of diet will create a massive move to pick apart the “dogma”.
Very interesting and truthful!
This video would be far more informative if we could see the age of each interviewed person.
From what I've been reading, the circadian rhythm is extremely important. I can imagine that some people might be eating an amazing diet but their circadian rhythm is messed up which would mean their body isn't getting good quality sleep and healing itself in the night.
judgments are attempts to fill in the gaps of understanding, yet always invite errors and involve denial. judgment release is a way to reverse the harm done by judgment.
26:40 😂😂😂 best
