most nuts aren't really raw.

Out of everything you've experienced would you say that is the biggest one? or is it just one piece of advice?

And by consuming nuts in the beginning of your journey, did it slow you down? I'm trying to get a better understanding.

I would say it's probably one of the biggest things. I read a lot about raw before going raw and I knew to eat my veggies and fruits but I didn't realize how much extra protein and fat i was in-taking. I thought I needed all this extra stuff.

It definitely slowed me down partly because a lot of the nuts and beans I was eating weren't actually raw. I wasn't getting results because I was eating very hard to digest foods...like "raw" nuts and beans but also a lot of carrots and kale. I really needed to focus on healing my digestion which I was not doing. After that I did buy a dehydrator, but it was the high fat foods from it that made me react poorly. I never relied on the D much (a couple times a week), but it was nice when I would really crave cooked food. In the end I discovered that eating light foods is the secret. Being raw? ...piece of cake!...it's being a healthy raw that is difficult since I have a penchant for really rich and heavy foods. Now I have an idea what works for me so i make an effort to stick to that. I would consider that past year a transition faze because I was still doing a lot of raw.

Thanks so much for this. Very helpful. I have been trying to eat healthier and "transitioning" but have found myself gravitating toward nutty and high fat foods and sugary foods (LOTS of sweet fruit and "raw" substitutes) and haven't found positive changes from it (obviously). I need to get back to the the right direction, re-center, and focus on veggies.

Thanks for that advice Suvine. I have been feeding my dog raw meat so I think I will start freezing it first.
