Dealing With Detox On Raw Food #2

[DeliverTheWord1]

Please tell me, is your current Raw Vegan lifestyle more costly financially than when you were eating fast food and processed foods? Was there a big jump inthe cost? I am a disabled Veteran on a small budget but with type2 Diabetes I need to go vegan but only if I can afford it

Thank you

[LovingRaw]

@DeliverTheWord1 Yes it is unfortunately when you can buy a burger for $1. But, you can always grow your own produce!

[uglytravis]

Great Vid man! Ignore parasites like LtLemontwist who feed on bringing down others lol

[mrtruthforever]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

[brownvagabond]

I'm waiting for the switch...

[luckyguy71]

This is an AWESOME VIDEO! I totally love the way you explain the "memory of food" This is the first vieo I have seen of your set, but I think more folks who are struggling with food issues might really appreciate them. Thanks!

[LtLemontwist]

What exactly do you need to detox? If you seriously need to detox you should head to a hospital or you will likely be in one already. Like all other raw food vegans I see on youtube, you clearly have no understanding of biology or biochemistry. Needless to say you will simply dismiss this and wallow in your ignorance. You don't need to detox nor do you need to go raw vegan in order to be healthy. It just requires being wise about food decisions.

[LovingRaw]

@LtLemontwist thanks for sharing

[sierrajean]

@LtLemontwist You obviously have no idea what the topic is here. Better listen ot it again.

[mrtruthforever]

@LtLemontwist Spoken like someone who's never gone through it.

[Lizzy3218]

@LtLemontwist

Yeah...he's so ignorant that he lost 215 pounds and kept it off *eye roll*. You're free to eat whatever you want but just because someone is doing something different doesn't mean they're ignorant. He obviously knows enough to change his life. Keep eating your meat and your cooked food that are slowly killing you. Peace

[GoingOrganic1]

Really enjoyed your video. I am growing some sprouts now and planting seeds for a garden. I am trying to incorporate more raw foods into my diet.  You are a good inspiration.

[seanviv2]

You look great I have to shop is there anything such as foods or books you can recommend I am so new .. I want to make this permanent in my life.. and I am excited to start taking care of myself.

[freestylee19]

how much nuts is good to eat every day?

[joanne8987]

You are a really kind hearted person and I really appreciate your humble and caring attitude while sharing very helpful info . I don't know if I'm ready to go raw but i'll give it serious consideration since I've managed to gain weight in the past year and a half , as a vegetarian .

[notamountain]

Thank you for this awesome video, Phillip. I'm on day 4 of my detox going from a diet similar to yours before starting raw foods and am feeling pretty darn emotional. Thanks for your support.

[LovingRaw]

@notamountain Congrats, just keep on breathing. : )

[Rachna888]

TY :)

[jacksonjacksonjjj]

Wow. Stories like yours are always inspiring.

I became a vegan but sometimes dairy food challenges me..

I had typical american diet for my entire life, so my body is reacting to vegan diet..

To detox my whole body, I plan to do a juice feast soon.. could you more specifically talk about a good way to recover from juice feast or detoxification in general?

[LovingRaw]

@jacksonjacksonjjj check out my video number 16

[frugalnanny]

Blessings, Phillip you rock and i jusrt want to see you kepp on keeping on.

Love and Light to you from a Grandmother with a mission in Raw food and in His Love.

Sister frugalnanny

[frugalnanny]

Your eyes look hollow to me.

I am concerned that you may need something you are not getting.

Is there a reason for this appearence?

[LovingRaw]

@frugalnanny I was going without much sleep at the time

[whitbyjet65]

You're lucky not to experience any cravings. I'm raw at the moment & I'd strangle my granny for a pizza and beer.

[LovingRaw]

@whitbyjet65 LOL, poor granny. Work on healing the inner... why you would want to eat that food when you know it doesn't benefit you.

[whitbyjet65]

@LovingRaw You're right. It's hard for me but I'm working hard o stay with it. Thanks.

[Gruaigrua23]

@whitbyjet65 If I were you I'd look into EFT to control your cravings. You can find videos on youtube

[killakingg]

its so hard to stop eating so much im trying and its like i can eat lil foods here and there for a week

but the week after i eat for four its like ive never ate i eat tacos and chips and candy coffie with crackers ect i dont know mayb im so use to it

im looking at your video and im so happy for u i know it was prob so hard for u to do it but u did do it and u look healthy keep it up n take care

[maggerdaiser]

I just eat raw food only, which is raw milk, raw eggs and raw fruits and vegetables. This covers all the bodies needs. Mix 1 raw egg, juice of a lime and 1 tsp of flax seed oil and mix and drink. It tastes good and will make your hair and skin shine. I switched from 100% greasy processed diet to 100% raw diet in 1 day. It was like a switch turned on . I had a hard time the first day and then after that it went pretty good. On my goal to loose 90Lbs. Should have done this years ago.

[aliss8888]

You are really the best! I am trying to do a 100 day raw food challenge but I have this problem with my blood sugar. I would like to ask you if you eat organic honey once in a while. Thanks! U r brilliant!!

[LovingRaw]

@aliss8888 thanks, and... I eat it all the time!

[LovingRaw]

@aliss8888 yup, I enjoy honey. : )

[ShaytanBozorg]

GREAT CHANNEL!

Did you have dressing on your salads during detox?

[MrJacksonhgts718]

Do u Have a Twitter or Facebook> if u do whats ur User name,,,,Very interesting videos...what do u eat??

[NuclearNympho]

such a great video!!

[ccrosker]

We don't really need protein other than the amino acids found in green leafy vegetables.

[Xylemdrinker]

well there are the 8 essential amino acids that you need to make sure you get, but other then that you are correct. you most certainly don't need animal products at all though for that purpose....

[rickvanman]

what do you do for protien?

[yipmaster]

look up 'The Protein Myth' on here. I can't post the url cuz I'm on a ps3 browser.

[trevfrank]

@rickvanman sprouted quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth, goji berries, avacado....and last but not least, the best source of all: Hemp.

easy.

[Forsure3333]

How many calories would you get with one gallon of vegetable juice?

[clueless097]

you ROCK!!!!

[AfricanKillerBee]

You need fat. This is the reason for the weight loss. By eating nothing but fresh fruit and vegetables, your bosy uses the stores of fat it needs.

[greensufi]

you can get fats thru' nuts seeds avocados, coconuts etc.

not myself a raw foodist, but about 50%. feels good, lost 10 kg, also thru eliminating sugar, all in a month.

[sha8808]

Don't forget to check out the local Libraries...for books on raw foods or recipies :)

Money saver :)

[Leighmo2]

you mentioned "food combining" can you elaborate on that?? :)

[MENVUNOT]

tHREE WORDS RAW AND SEXY!

[PatrikDC]

raw vegan? You said in another video you ate sushi...

[LovingRaw]

Sushi, raw vegan style.  No fish or rice.

[JustasIam147]

Can you recomend any cookbooks for beginners

[LovingRaw]

Try "Eating without Heating"

[JustasIam147]

How did you make that 'taco shell/pizza crust'. that looked really good.

[Lynxii]

with an Excalibur dehydrator

[beautyaroundmebeauty]

Phillip:

Thank you, iIlove the 'no pressure, no judgement, no guilt' approach.

Eat raw & Prosper

[TarotLadyLissa]

I work in a restaurant, i am finding it difficult to resist some of the cooked foods that I prepare. Any tips?

[cellulitelove]

seriously me too. I work at a sushi restaurant and sushi used to be my FAVORITE food. I got over it though. The saying "mind over matter" is really true! I am going to quit though because I want to do something more useful that will benefit people.

[jonneyd]

do you have to Detox on Raw Food? before going raw ? i am vegan right now ...help and i wana go raw vegan on a budget help

[cellulitelove]

Join your local co-op! Best decision I have ever made! Just type up community supported agriculture online. I also love farmers markets. I support local farming 100%, but then again I crave tropical fruits every once in a while so I'll shop at this Korean market near my place. I can buy 10 bananas for a dollar! A huge papaya for less than 2 bucks, pineapple for $1.50 etc... Also, try growing your own garden. I'm going to give that a shot this January. Good luck!

[PsalmsNmyrrh]

@cellulitelove where do you live where they sell 10 bananas for a buck?! the best here is 5 for a buck. I saw something on the news where the local farmers give to pantries because of excess veggies...the organization was call "ample harvest". It is free. I can't afford to buy this stuff on a regular basis, so this helps out a lot.

[herBeautifulMassage]

After hearing you talk about eating huge portions, I feel less guilty for eating such huge salads. I now know that my desire for big portions will naturally decrease. I'm so excited about detoxing.

[InTheVortex]

Thank you, you're so helpful

[jemms4]

how do u know that u r getting adequate protein? what protein sources do u use? thank you. your videos are great!!

[AdventGuard33]

usable protein is found in whole foods...grains...greens..fruit­s/veggies...animal protein is not the right protein for humans.

[LovedByMeBeautifully]

Can someone live a rawfood lifestyle on unorganic food for instance if they cannot afford organic foods. I live in NY and am part of a family of four and eating raw food overall is a bit more expensive but a lot more doable than even eating organic cooked or raw. I know it's completely worth it (that's not the issue) but the funds just aren't there. Has anyone done the raw food challenge on regular supermarket foods? Thank you kindly for any constructive feedback given.

[LovingRaw]

Yes, many people have. I did for the first couple years on and off. In the end you may want to change, but I think you will be able to decide by then. : )

[toxicKt]

I also use unorganic...I just wash it really well and buy certain things that are absolutely necessary to buy organic like cucumbers and nuts...

[reforest4fertility]

To LovedByMeBeautifully: I recently read of research saying that fruits & veges lose significant nutritional content quickly enough considering how much time passes between the picking at the eating of any store bought produce. Nothing drastic to worry about when we supplement with sprouting, which catches life like as it explodes on2 this scene, then fermenting, which makes vitamins, probiotics & increases digestibility, even obviating refrigeration, also supports extends immunity out in2 space

[sofujun]

nuts are good for you, helps with blood flow and for men good for your penis.. research if u dont believe

[gengiscon86]

good for da balls too!

[seinfeldelainekramer]

What about trying to eat local and going raw? I live in a northern climate where I don't have access to raw veggies year round if I were to try to eat local...

[SolaceInShadow]

As long as it's organic, that should suffice. If you are serious enough, do what I did and start indoor gardening.

Year round vegetables.

[Jbidnis]

"I missed the memory of what those foods represented to me". What a powerful thought. I believe thinking this way enables us to recognize cravings for what they are...I call them "as of yet unlearned lessons". Each cravings is a new growth adjustment. This is one of the things that enabled me to "turn off" my cigarette smoking addiction after 18 years. I like the way you think. Another great vid, thanks:)

[M007rk]

***I hope the youtube "Rat Patrol" Doesn't erase this one.

Anyway, I've been on many diets and the one that seemed to work the best for me was the Raw Food Diet. I ended up becoming Anemic (My Mistake) but I've corrected the mistakes that I've made in the past (Hopefully) and I'm going to give it another shot.

Quite Frankly, I don't see how anyone can stay on this type of diet/lifestyle for any extended length of time. But, Good Health is the goal, Not Perfection.

[kismetprismatism]

you have the sweetest voice. you're beautiful.

[meandbenny]

You make me feel really enthusiastic about giving raw a go. Not to loose weight but to give my body the best it can have.

[Mongodelight]

its a big satisfaction to walk into the shops and pick just the best of the best. My Philosophy of life is now: THE BEST IS PROBABLY (STILL) NOT GOOD ENOUGH. FRESH ORGANIC VEGAN (WILD) GREAT BALANCED BIG VARITY FOOD LIFESTYLE FOREVER!

[hollywoodartchick]

Thanks for sharing this. It helps to hear specifics.

[blacklithe]

I knew it would be pasta! Pasta is my weakness... that's going to be the biggest obstacle for going raw. . .

[tztzsad]

We need a bigger audience!

[Mongodelight]

5 hours to 48 hours 100% RAWVEGAN. my colon will be healthy enough to have a last crazy Amsterdam Trip. After this i start a huge documentary inspired by running raw. i was into rawvegan for 3 month and i know i ll never switch to cooked after this. today i ll buy a canon hv 30.

[fivestars30]

Youre truly beautful Philip. wonderful. Inspiring. You have a gorgeous spirit. Wow.

[Brorsen]

very informative, very good video, thanks.

[babebvy]

did u go to the gym and work out at all while on this raw food.... thing?

[LovingRaw]

i didnt start working out until after the first year. : )

[breakingstatic]

omg youre fucking rad. youre a sweetheart and you came real far. thanks for all your advice.

[TheBreadGirl]

Thank you for your video!

[stedyplotn]

I like to make a raw cereal:

Ingredients:

-chili pistacio nuts from living nutz 1 heaping spoon

-cayenne pepper 1 spoon (flat not heaping)

-olive oil (enough for the nuts to float in)

place nuts in small bowl and add the cayenne pepper on top, add olive oil until the nuts float. let the pepper combine with the oil so the oil turns red, and let simmer for 20min to an hour. sprinkle with more cayenne pepper then enjoy. M! Spoonfeed yourself just 1-2 nuts or so, and not so much oil as w/milk.

[captaintripps6969]

I fully appreciate your ideas and this is not meant in a derisive way so please don't be offended. soq05 says:

"You dont want to take baths or showers with unfiltered water"

How on Earth did humanity make it through from the stone age to now? When the machines finally stop working that paradigm is fucked. I am very happy, however, that this style of eating works for ya'll. Me? Couldn't do it - I HATE avacado with a passion!! :-D

[racheloagibson]

i think the filtered water reference refers to the toxins such as fluoride that are placed in our water supplies.

[captaintripps6969]

I'd like to say something eloquent but I cannot. Pardon my yelling: "Why the fuck are so many people afraid of death?" Sure I don't wish to die but I know I will. Life feeds on life and no amount of "better living" will change that.

[blackfootraw]

Who said they're afraid to die? Raw Foods is about FEELING better and having more energy.

[captaintripps6969]

"toxins such as fluoride that are placed in our water supplies" Toxins -perhaps the word is tossed around so lightly nowadays that some don't consider the root meaning "slow death". While I myself have never eaten raw foods I have found that excercising my body daily makes me feel better. BTW - I'm not bitching - feeling better and having more energy are the same thing. I think my main concern about raw foods - to be continued

[captaintripps6969]

Sorry 'bout that ytube MB length blows.

My main concern centers around a lot of the bacterial and viral agents that cannot survive the cooking process... thinking of it now I realize I need to research the pros of raw foods more than I already have and try to not let my "gut reaction" (pun mostly not intended) guide my thinking. To be continued.....

[bitterfly77]

Eating raw means eating raw foods that are commonly already consumed raw - seeds, nuts, vegetables, fruits, sprouts, juices and certain raw cheeses and unpasteurized milk products (usually from goats). Raw foodists are not advocating eating raw meats or consuming large quantities of unpasteurized milk products (many raw foodists are vegan, anyway, so the milk issue is moot). You stated you've never eaten raw foods which seems hard to imagine. Have you never eaten apple slices or carrots?

[beautyaroundmebeauty]

bitterfly77

lovely response, never thought of it this way... 'eating raw foods that are commonly already eater raw... simple.

[bitterfly77]

Also chlorine - that's the major concern with showering or bathing in unfiltered water.

[dominicanville]

Good video

[Tuliza]

I am enlightened by your spirit and compassion for raw food.

Thank you for sharing.

[WIGNSWORD]

O lord! How do I replace squishy bread that doesn't fall apart when smooshed into olive oil, and potatos with soy yogurt and still the big question: pasta with spicy tomato sauce (zucchini is too watery, spaghetti squash is like wood)...o lord!

[beautyaroundmebeauty]

maybe marinate your veggies in lemon juice and herbs to soften them some and adds tons of flavor too. watery suchinni, just let it drain in a strainer, save the juice and use in salad dressings or just drink it - good stuff!

[GypsyArdor]

You are doing great and are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

[thrivesurvive]

another awesome and inspiring video. thank you very much!

[111banana]

For me, someone with bad case of eczema, detox was really, really hard. Days and weeks? Try many months. Strange symptoms/signs that scared me until I found out about detox reactions. Drank litres of distilled water, slept a lot to try and manage the detox. Still, totally worth it. Hang in there!

[sog305]

u should stay away from distilled water it it hurts the PH bal. in ur body and any type of bottled water is no good.

[111banana]

what kind of water should one drink? thanks.

[beautyaroundmebeauty]

'fruit infusing' your water, wouldn't that improve the pH and electrical charge of distilled water?

how to infuse water with fruit? cut up some fruit, drop it into the water , let it sit a while at room temp or in fridge, then enjoy. or squeeze citrus juices into the water for instant minerals, vitamins, electrolites, and possibly pH improvements.

[111banana]

Reverse osmosis water, I meant. Is that ok?

[sog305]

A 2 stage reverse osmosis filter will be the best idea. There is nothing better out on the market right now. If you live in a house you should have a filter for your entire water system. You dont want to take baths or showers with unfiltered water.

[sog305]

Also to find out how much water to drink you should take your body weight in pounds and divide it by 2 and thats the number of ounces you should be drinking. Make sure to keep your water in a glass pitcher with a top/lid and drink your water at room temp.

[111banana]

thanks

[Elk4758]

So going raw means no more beer?

[LovingRaw]

Sorry... :)

[jtNY2006]

again, very nice and informative!
