Dieters in weight loss camp given raw fruit and vegetable diet - BBC

[destiny6666]

I saw Dr Oz on Oprah, featuring this story, this went over 7 or 10 days, they all lost a stack of weight and reduced stuff like cholesterol etc by 25% .. Dr Oz said no medication could do that ..

sounds like natural food is what we were meant to eat ...

off to Hungry Jacks!

:)

hey, did they go 100% raw? Do you have this somewhere on youtube or video google or torrent or whatever? Or know where was the program? It woul be interesting to see.

Thanks

[MisterQuebec]

Is there a follow-up to that story?

[DARTAGNANS170]

The food they are being given is hybrid. Hybrid fruit such as the banana and hybrid high sucrose carrots did not exist with our ancestors. These foods will make one feel out of balance.

[dlightseer]

Even so, it is far, far healthier than the processed, packaged dead foods that make up the Standard Western Diet. Also, I would argue that there are many naturally occurring fruits found mainly in the tropics that are quite sweet and have never been subject to modern hybridization. Sweet is Natural. Sweet fruits have much lower glycemic loads than processed sweets like cookies and candy.

We should just trust our Instinkt and leave all our "knowledge" behind. Forget the brainwash, trust your body, your body is more intelligent than every human beeing ever will. And if u dont know how to quit eating Poison: Use Allen Carrs Easyway: He said its perfect against every addiction. And think about it: Its an addiction. If u dont believe it, than try to think free. I hope you come to my point of view. I feel so lucky! I dont need any knowledge!

[stupidtreehugger]

Yep. But you have to really purge the old programing: our 'instinct' is molded by parents and society feeding us rubbish and it gets embedded as love. Without knowing e.g. 'the whiter the bread the sooner you're dead' how would you know your body requires wholefood to function properly?

[kerimhann]

the meat you are talking was organic, non hormonal, fresh and uncooked.

[Denisehealthnut]

And where is the meat? We evolved on meat too.

[irrevenant2]

No nuts and seeds? That would explain why they have to eat so much to get their daily calories...

[Denisehealthnut]

Yes, gotta have nuts and seeds... hello!!!

[dlightseer]

That is the point. This forces them to eat higher amounts of nutrient dense foods to get enough calories. At the same time they are able to get enough protein and an adequate amount of fats.

[WTF20000]

Fruits and veggies grown in nice, delicious PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES, INSECTICIDES!

Yummy!

[esiosan]

not in europe, genetic modified crops and poisoned crops are banned in Europe. They are so much smarter and less corrupt than the U.S of As

[WTF20000]

esiosan, So true. I know this to be true in the good old US of A.

[goodshorts]

what we ate as we evolved? this is imagination.

[eof99]

actually it's perfectly sensible :P

[ahernster]

Our body needs craves nutrients, if you do the research you would find you would not need to consume that much raw fruit and veg to survive.

You could survive on what they had for an entire week and you would still be more healthier, fitter and live longer then those who choose to eat cooked foods.

What i mean is you only need that many calories if you are eating cooked foods, raw fruits and veg are a totaly diffrent ball game.

[gopherdude]

This is slightly accurate...but really the only hunter gatherers who got to eat this much vegetation were the ones in the iran/egypt that green belt..were food actually grew everyone else was all "hey..lets eat that elk over there.."

meat saves lifes! It's more filling to!

[Machiavelli81]

Where the hell did the hunter-gatherer in Europe get this much fresh fruits form. And why are they called hunters?

Is this scientific or is this a diet invented by "hippies"?

So can s.o. second this diet?

[gopherdude]

lol they probebly wouldn't. They'd go out and collect a tasty wooly mammoth or pig or mushrooms.

You get alot more out of meat and your fuller for alot longer.

[MirageRC3]

I don't believe we evolved from apes, but I do believe eating better or returning to a diet of pure foods would solve a LOT of our health problems. Then again, who knows what health problems the people had a long time ago.

[gopherdude]

You would know if you knew anything about evolution instead of simple saying "well we didn't evolve from apes!"

It wouldn't hurt to first read about it then decide if you don't beileve.

[MirageRC3]

Read about what? I know all about the theory of evolution and that's what this video is suggesting.

[gopherdude]

Mabye because it's very beilevable unlike the idea of you knowing all about the theory of evolution.

[MirageRC3]

Ok, maybe I didn't mean that I knew ALL. I have some knowledge but not all. I looked at the video again and I must've gotten this one mixed up with another that I was looking at. My mistake.

[birlisa1]

That is correct, we never evolved from the apes, but we chares the same ancestors as the apes. We are in the same family as them

[thesharkof98]

i'd go on this diet... looks yummy
