I have had weight issues for most of my life. So when I went raw, I cut down more and more on animal products and at the time most of the raw community agreed that being raw veegan was ideal healthwise. I really need some objective responses narrowed in on diet.

I started to eat eggs and dairy again (not raw) forgive me. And I have gained weight. I know I'm allergic to dairy. And I am starting to see that people are advocating and supporting consuming animal products in order to be healthy. I a… Continue

This is about raw wars. Stop attacking people just because they're primal raw meat eaters, vegetarians, fruitarians, vegans, 811rs and so on.

I started my raw journey official on january 2008 and I am still continueing on this raw path. So many raw books preach about one extreme or another. I am not knocking them its just the fact that they are either REAlly Low in FATor really high in fat. When I ate a lot of nuts my physical energy and stamina wasn't at its peak so I went back to cooked foods.
