On point, John, thank you. Life changing information right here. Going into my 5th year as a raw vegan and I have very much shifted my focus to include tons of veggies and less fruit. Thank you kindly. :)
@@JulotttEveryone's experience in how they thrive on raw is different. Why don't you allow for that fact?🤷♀️ And incidentally, you can get plenty of calories from a WFPB diet. I don't know why you think it's "hard". Do you not know how to eat enough? 😂 As for greens, there's certainly nothing wrong with having as much as you feel comfortable with. It's up to you and your body. How do you feel? Are you thriving? It's different for everyone. You can't have a one size fits all mentality. Personally, I wouldn't want to live on a fruit-based diet. Too boring, and I'd get sick of the constant sweetness. I'd need to balance it out with savory salads, nuts, and a little cooked vegan food. I like fruit more for cleansing and detoxification. You have to do what feels intuitively right for you. Getting dogmatic and saying your way is the only way doesn't honor the differences in how other people respond to the food they eat. Some become hypoglycemic on too much fruit. It's not for everyone, and that's ok.
You really opened my eyes this morning. I did not know that about K1. I've had problematic teeth. My dentist loves me. And my vegetable intake is zilch when compared to what you described when drinking your juices. Every time I watch one of your videos - I walk away just shocked because I learn so much - IN ONE PLACE!!! In fact, one a scale of 1 to 10, my vegetable intake is about 1. Terrible. I thought I was eating a lot of veggies - but the more I watch and listen to your message, I realize more and more that I need to up my game on veggies. Thank you John - you're the best.
Zucchini, summer squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocados, okra, eggplant, hot & sweet peppers, bean & pea pods, etc. are all fruit. An all fruit diet, which I am not for or against, doesn’t have to be all sugary sweet fruit only.
Thank you, John, for all you do to help others; as always, a video packed with life-changing information. I find myself having to pause and “rewind” on parts of your videos if I didn’t quite catch everything since I’m learning something new all the time. (I also appreciate that your videos don’t have ads constantly interrupting in the middle of them like some other TH-camrs do.) I’m definitely more inspired to eat/juice more greens every time I watch your videos.
You do have nice skin man! Your message is on point for me at this time in my raw vegan journey. Thank you for all you do for humanity. Going to increase my greens for sure.
Yes everyone is different! The fruit diet is huge right now but my body LOVES the greens. When I have a green juice or salad, my stress goes down, I feel incredibly grounded and I can focus. Too much fruit makes me feel bloated and disconnected.
@@Julottt😂 Nobody said anything about cows and cats!🥴 Everyone is different in how their bodies respond to the food they eat and what makes them feel good. Why are you so offended by people who don't eat like you?😂 You're literally a troll.😆🤡
Fruits are good for your antioxidants and vegetables are good for your phytochemicals. You need all the different colors, too, red orange yellow purple blue. You need both fruits and green vegetables 🥬
Ahhh... isn't the produce section such a beautiful place. So much life, the plant aromas filling the air, the gorgeous rainbow such a sight for sore eyes. Now let me ignore all that and cram dozens of pounds of decaying cow muscle tissue that smells like stank into 15 feet of intestines to sustain my anatomically incorrect carnivore diet
I tried mostly fruit but my body seems to crave more greens plus if I eat too much fruit I feel like I have the shakes.. the heebie jeebies or something and don't feel very good. So I eat maybe 40% fruit 60% vegetables leafy greens mostly..to feel the best
I too have come to the conclusion that eating more vegetables is better than eating too much fruit. Also, I have noticed that those who consume a lot of fruit, that their skin doesn't look as good as those who consume fruit sparingly.
@@evieseeton7010, You are correct that fruits do have more water than vegetables. As for electrolytes, I would have to do my own research as to how fruits and vegetables compare. I follow several vegans and raw fooders on YT and observing their skin's appearance and their diet is how I came to my conclusion. As for me, I don't eat sweet fruit, rather, I consume non-sweet fruit (cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini-for example) and a lot of greens.
What about the research that says we should not mix vegetables with fruits? Thank you for your videos. They give an interesting point of view. I am still finding my way through this. And I don't think anyone has the whole truth just what works for each individual.
I LOVE your hoodie-shirt! Where can I buy one, please? I'm a green veggie-lover, also a natural fruit-lover. Yet my body simply can't tolerate hybridized fruit very well.
I am beginning my journey toward fruitarianism. I will continue to utilize vegetables but mainly in juicing. It takes a lot of seasoning/salt/oil and preparation to deal with a high vegetable diet
Fruit is super expensive too. I love my fruits but I love my veggies too. And I grow my own microgreens and sprouts. We also have fruit trees and berries in the back yard. Thankyou for this information. I know alot of people promoting only fruit.
why don’t you give us more of your GAZPACHO recipes? do you think hand-smashing is better than blending when it comes to minimizing oxidation in “processed” food?
Thankyou for this video John, I think more vegans need to see this. 4 years fruitarian here and now know the fruit high diet is not the train to travel on. When did food become calories>nutrients. If that is the case i could just eat bananas for the rest of my life and be good. All long term fruitarians look old compared to green promoting vegans.
try a 100% vegetable and greens diet, you will understand why calories > nutrients (especially fruits contains both in good amount) and this is also why fruit tastes much better and is more appealing than greens and végétables, gorilla are folivore and have a huge colon, not human and bonobo.
What about nuts, John? How much fat is optimal? I know greens have some Omega-3 fats, but I know that most raw food advocates say you have to choose between fruit and fat. But you're eating a ton of veggies, a moderate amount of fruit, but what percentage of fat would you think would be best? I don't think 80/10/10 is optimal, but maybe 60/20/10 with more of the carbs coming from veggies compared to fruits. I'm not really raw, but I do eat maybe 50% of calories uncooked. Just curious on your fat percentage.
You should ask them to move it or it will deter vegans from buying them. Many Asians are vegans for religious reasons, so makes sense for them to move it.
While I agree we are frugivores for the most part, we are very adaptable as is most life on the planet. the fact is we can digest vegetables and absorb nutrients out of them. Tender greens are easiest. That being said, just because a straight slot screwdriver was designed for straight screws doesnt mean it cant be used to remove a philps head screw. This is why I use a juicer and vacuum blender to make the nutrients more easily absorbed in vegetables that can be harder to digest. Plus I chew really well. That being said, each person is free to live their live based on their beliefs and live with the consequences of them. I am simply sharing what I have learned and observed. You can surely take it or leave it.
@@Denise_FayIt's possible we're frugivores, but we've obviously adapted to eating a diversity of foods. There's nothing wrong with eating a varied vegan diet as long as you're thriving. Some vegans can't eat just fruit either because it's too restrictive or they don't tolerate it as well as other foods. We all share the same biology, but we're all different in how we respond to our food.
Thank u for another informations video. I had no idea that the vegetables can heal stomach acid, i knew ginger did but the cysts on my neck are healing on alfalfa chlorophyll, after me trying numerous things this was the only that had worked. Wish i could grow alfalfa in large quantities to juice it, temp in my apt isnt right
Just wanted to let you know, I think TH-cam may have unsubscribed me from your channel. I used to watch your videos all the time. Now I know why I haven’t seen you in my feed for so long.
I'm fruit and vegetable-based. Fruits are better for detox and veggies are better for building up the body. But they're all amazing and I embrace them all (in their raw, perfect form)
@@ThoughtCriminalMusic I see lots of negatives about sugar what would you think about that and do you believe a person can come back from the brink of death ?
@@Chris-kr7gg There's no comparing the simple sugars from fruits and veggies to the complex carbohydrates of bread, pasta, rice, flours, and other junk food, they're two completely different things. The simple sugars from fruits and veggies are the body's primary fuel source and are essential for healing. Anyone saying anything negative about the simple sugars of fruits and veggies has no clue what they're talking about
@@ThoughtCriminalMusic a lady who eats raw plant based mentioned sugar is bad for ageing. I just want to start healing from this awful life experience.
What about the oxalates etc .. I ve heard eating greens will give you kidney stones is this true .. some people say they got kidney stones from the oxalates and goitergens .
Hi John,Thx for sharing. What I´m worried is that if we don´t cook the veg, it might have coronavirus on it. How do you make sure that it´s virus free？
I generally just wash my produce. If I am super paranoid (rare) I can put in in my ozone + ultrasonic cleaner. Ozone has been shown to kill bacteria and virus. That being said, it also will change the microbiome composition of the food which might not be the best.
What about eating raw vegetables such as carrots, radishes or grated sweet potatoes. I thought you were going to be talking about those kinds of root vegetables rather than mostly greens and cruciferous vegetables.
I eat about 4 pounds of root vegetables a day in mostly the form of vegetable juices as root veggies can be more difficult to digest. I also eat them in salads and soups to a lesser degree.
well tbh...all ppl should eat more (quality) greens (aka wild collected or self grown in good soil), their effect on the body is very noticable.....however i wouldnt say "eat more (non starchy) vegetables" cuz imo eating "too many" of things like tomatoes cucumber celery of whatnot is possibly even worse than eating too little...food volume increases too much....NEVER more than 4 pounds/day (unjuiced) it just gets very unsatisfying to eat that much bulk ontop of maintancance calories
good point. I would agree. Don't go crazy on starchy veggies. This video focused more on leafy greens, stem, vegetables and flowering vegetables. Although I do juice root veggies for some calories each day.
@@betzib8021 Thank you. Is the metal bad for the juice? Honestly 2 layers wax paper under the metal making it daily is too difficult for me. Is it better to use plastic than metal?
@@madalynmoth4263 all I know for sure is that juice is acid and acid will leach metal components and plastic components which end up in the juice. Waxed paper should b safe. I cut squares of it and keep them in a drawer. Then pop 2 under a canning lid and put on the separate ring to cinch it down. It doesn't take a minute. Juice is protected
Health needs fitness. Vigorous exercise stimulates endocannabinoids which fine tunes all our physiological functions. Without exercise, the body will not make full use of what we eat. Juicing is not the answer, it's demand ...from exercise. Heck, so.e people will do anything to avoid stretching thete comfort zone and learning to enjoy exercise.
Man your next level bro 👆😜😆 what's your sleep cycle like?? Do you exercise much??? Have you ever done periods on more high fruit?? What's the greatest benefit from your 26 years raw??? 😁✌️✌️
I get as much sleep as my body needs by going to bed when I am tired and waking up without an alarm, usually when the sun comes up. I do get regular excercise throughout my normal day, but im no marathon runner or I dont go to gyms. I prefer real world excercise like hiking, lifting, jumping over plants in my garden. I have done peroids of high fruit in my early years, and a random day even now, I will do it sometimes (usually when traveling, because it IS easier) Greatest benefit for me has been the youthing element.
@@growingyourgreens nice 👌 thanks Mann,, is the you thing element more of a physical thing for you?? Or more internal?? And is there anything difficult about being more youthful for you like maybe socialising LOL ✌️😁
none of this is new; even the ancient romans (who unfortunately wiped out erased “burnt the books” of even older cultures they conquered) LATIN: vis medicatrix naturae : the healing power of nature
Do you have video's on how to start your own garden...or another channel on how to grow your own greens . I'm moving to Florida and I have a back yard that I will use to grow
There is reasons if ripe fruit taste much better and is much more appealing to people than greens because calories is much more importants to survival, this is also why the rats in this ridiculous famous experience preferred sugar over cocaine and not because sugar is an addictive drug, it tastes also much better, cocaine is bittera and contains 0 calorie. Foods being higher in nutrient doesnt mean they will bring more nutrient to the body, the bioavailability is different, grass and wood are also rich in nutrients but cant give us much, ripe fruits nutrients are much more available to our digestion than raw greens nutrients espcially the harder ones like kale and similar. It is already not always easy to eat enough calories long term on a whole food plant based diet, even more difficult raw and/or low fat, i cant imagine if people start doing the mistake of eating half or more of their diet from greens and low calories fruits... a reicipe for disaster. We are not folivore gorillas, we dont have this hughe colon they have to handle and digest correctly high amount of cellulose without us getting discomfort from it.
nope. I mentioned in the video I have been including limited quanitites (for example, had 5 and 2 artichokes) of high nutrient low calorie heat processed vegetables in around the 2:30-3:00 mark. They are the deep purple baby ones that are processed in the instant pot. I would rather eat a few of these than bananas that are imported and picked too early for phytonutrients with some calories. This supplements my raw food based diet. I will have a future video on this going into more detail.
On point, John, thank you. Life changing information right here. Going into my 5th year as a raw vegan and I have very much shifted my focus to include tons of veggies and less fruit. Thank you kindly. :)

Foods being higher in nutrient doesnt mean they will bring more nutrient to the body, the bioavailability is different, grass and wood are also rich in nutrients but cant give us much, ripe fruits nutrients are much more available to our digestion than raw greens nutrients espcially the harder ones like kale and similar.
It is already not always easy to eat enough calories long term on a whole food plant based diet, even more difficult raw and/or low fat, i cant imagine if people start doing the mistake of eating half or more of their diet from greens and low calories fruits... a reicipe for disaster.
We are not folivore gorillas, we dont have this hughe colon they have to handle and digest correctly high amount of cellulose without us getting discomfort from it.
I thought I heard on the debate with Ryan you were eating some potatoes these days. did I mishear?
nope. I mentioned in the video I have been including limited quanitites (for example, had 5 and 2 artichokes) of high nutrient low calorie heat processed vegetables in around the 2:30-3:00 mark. They are the deep purple baby ones that are processed in the instant pot. I would rather eat a few of these than bananas that are imported and picked too early for phytonutrients with some calories. This supplements my raw food based diet. I will have a future video on this going into more detail.
@@growingyourgreens what can a person do if they can only get food from supermarket's that say they are organic, but have still been imported ?
