My body looses muscle on vegan protein (and I was getting plenty. 40+ grams/day)- I quickly gained it back eating eggs and some fish. I do think that not everyone's body treats all protein as equal. Mine sure doesn't.
Oh thats awesome, I didnt know they could test that. What type of test is it? Ya I would think vegan proteins would work the same if your getting enough and plus animal protein is acidic so it would actually affect your body in a negative way when...
That's what metabolic typing is about, it tests your metabolic type, protein,carbs or mixed. After the testing you receive a complete individual diet plan, what foods you should eat and what not, but they do say that if you are a vegetarian, but c...
It would be cool if there was a test you could have done that tells you exactly what amount of protein, carbs and fat your body needs per day to function its best. Instead of everyone guessing.
i was hoping this was about burning calories whilst sitting on the internet all day.
Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on Metabolic Typing? I'm wondering whether metabloic typing can be finetuned for raw foodists and whether protein types really need animal protein or whether vegan proteins, like hempseed and chia seeds ...
John, thanks for that!! I live in Jersey, but do get to go to London occasionally.
Nate, I'm flying over to London for the Festival of Life, end of September, will you be going there? It'll be nice to meet you!! I went to the Festival of Life las...

- Hello Monika,
You love poipoi! Wow! I lived in Hawaii 1/3 of my life and never got used to it.
For simple and fun recipes Google Russell James the Raw Chef. He offers so many great yummy recipes.

krose said… - thanks so much Monika. i think i will try the ginger too and hope that i don't get too worn out on it. I have been raw for a little over a year and i actually just got done with doing a series of 3 colonics. do you think i will still benefit from the blessed herbs cleanse? while i do feel like the colonics helped, there was definitely nothing like those terrifying pictures on the blessed herbs website lol

- hey monika- thanks so much for responding to the post about the blessed herbs cleanse. just a quick question that i forgot to ask over there- what flavor did you use? i was warned that the ginger is extremely strong and i usually hate peppermint so i thought i would get a second opinion! thanks in advance!

I might change many people and build up a community here through example.

Metabolic Typing
Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on Metabolic Typing? I'm wondering whether metabloic typing can be finetuned for raw foodists and whether protein types really need animal protein or whether vegan proteins, like hempseed and chia seeds and greens can be substituted for animal proteins?
Any thoughts will be welcome

Increased Sensitivity
After being raw for a period of time, we become cleaner and cleaner. Then one day we eat something "not so clean" and feel terrible. We have become sensitive to something we were able to eat without any strange reactions not that long ago.
I don't see this as a bad thing, it shows to me that I'm successfully eliminating toxins from my body. And, in a moment of weakness, if I do eat something cooked, it quickly reminds me that I should rather stick to raw! I had a chat with my mother the other d… Continue

Benefits of Kefir
I have at numerous oocasions read about the wonderful benefits of Kefir. I would like to include this into my diet if it so beneficial, especially to the gut, but I have now given up diary products. Are the diary products used in kefir still harmful, or does the benefits of kefir outweigh the hamful aspects of kefir? A friend of mine from Germany once visited me and had a Japanese water kefir, where you ferment the kefir crystals in water and a lot of white sugar. I loved the priciple of it and… Continue

Raw foods in Paris
I'm visiting Paris in May for a few days and was wondering if anyone knows of any raw food / vegan / vegetarian restaurants in Paris. And where do I find the organic markets? I hear Paris has fantastic markets. Also, I'm very into World Music, especially African music, Are there any cafes that have preferably live African musicians performing? I tried to look on the internet, but since this isn't mainstream, there are no english websites, that I have found so far.

Reaction to cooked foods
I have been experienceing something really interesting. I've had 5 weeks without alcohol and very high raw vegan diet. Last night I went out with a few friends, and had a chickpea soup, some home-made bread and 2 glasses of wine over a period of about 3 hours. When I went to bed I noticed that my pulse was very fast. Normally on raw it's about 58 bpm and last night it was 78! What causes that? When I have the odd cooked meal at home, made with fresh organic veggies, this doesn't happen. Normally… Continue

Soaking might help, I really don't know for sure. My father eats soaked dried chestnuts. The dried ones are really hard and they get a little bit softer when soaking them, but they are'nt as sweet soaked.
Same. Past girlfriends tell me I smell like fruit. Can't imagine why...
recently i have come to believe i may (not fully sure) have candida. mainly for the following reasons: after any cooked meal that is high in startches like say risotto the next day my head is so fuzzy and i think it may be even hungover or drunk. ...
I'm sorry I eat cooked food...lol. I just come here for nutrition info and the company of you wonderful people!
PARSLEY!!!! MINT!!!!!
This is what my mom recommends too. The thing is I live in a high-rise building in NYC, so I'm definetely not "grounded".
The grounding bed technology makes sense, but it doesn't feel natural to me. Has anyone tried it? Did you notice any changes...
So here is the deal... I have been running since Jan 2009 and doing this 8/1/1 thing (trying to be 100% but not yet) I am running in the California International Marathon Dec 6th and training is going fine running 2 to 4 times off and on a week fo...
Such a handsome boy.
thanks funny man!
Without fruit:
Bell pepper juice (very colorful and festive... red, orange, yellow)
Jicama juice (sweet milky)
Carrot juice with pumpkin pie spice
Cashew nutmilk with pumpkin pie spice
With fruit:
spinach and pineapple
spinach and coconut water
Would soaking them help? I've read that nuts in general has alot of anti-nutrients & soaking is always suggested.
Does anyone make raw recipes for their pets? Do you think it's healthy for dogs to not eat meat?
I LOVE this post. you have nailed on the head so many things that I think, about religion, food, dogma, etc.
It's true that so many legalistic people do not realize that what they're doing may come off badly to others; just trying to find what is...
No I haven't heard of it, I'll look into it thanks!
I'm trying to see the humor in the situation lol.
