Folks... Please don't ever mistake not eating cooked/vegan food as automatically healthy. Unless you know what you're doing, you could actually hurt yourself. IF, however, you learn the right way, I promise you will not only experience excellent health, but a clearer mind and incredible energy.
I cured my own diabetes going raw(live) vegan 3 years ago. For more info, research Dr. Gabriel Cousens, MD.
There's ALOT of free info out there. Prove it to yourself. I PROMISE you,
I went from being mostly cooked to raw, and the effects on my physical appearance was much the same as Matt's. I looked scraggly, fatigued and lost a lot of weight, especially in the facial region. It was until I adopted a diet of low carbohydrate, high fat and protein (mostly from fatty ground beef and cheese) that I was able to regain my former glow.
I often asked myself, why do I look sickly eating "healthier" than my contemporaries who eat SAD? Cooking food obviously has some benefit...
If it weren't for Mr. Monarch and Angela Stokes, I would not have discovered raw food when I did and wouldn't have started leading a raw food lifestyle. Eating raw has changed my life and is something I NEVER plan on giving up. **Thank you, Matt!** Don't ever let the haters get to you. <3
i would also say that he is as self obsessed now as he was before, yet in a good way now i suppose. also his eyes were dark before, now they are shining out. its like all his soul is shining out instead of in!
i started eating raw for some months years ago ,wondered people said "you look sick man" but after watching this vid realized things ,gave up all kind of raw except banana ,bought steel cut oats ,sweet potatoes ,rice ,buckwheat and all kind of normal healthy food ,cooking ,steaming them ,ordered whey protein too and started lifting weight ,now i look normal and feel ok again and girls love me :) ....
I think it's TERRIBLE to attribute all these bad behaviours because of the food you eat. You are a good/bad person because of your actions, not because you now eat raw food. It's ridiculous. You have no argument whatsoever to say that eating raw food makes you happy. It's just YOUR lifestyle choice, fine, just don't attribute good doings to the food you stick in your body. Food is simply FOOD - not a 'way of life'. Thank yourself lucky that you are well off enough to be so picky about it.
@thomholliday1 :D yeah, maybe not so simple. The phrase "you are what you eat" is pretty literal. There is a ton of data that says eating better transforms your energy level, mood, concentration, and overall being. However, all of this needs to include the individual component, maybe this guy is just selling something, or, maybe this is just what he needed to figure life out for himself. At the end there he was right, every decision you make is the right one, just as long as you understand you.
@Swansen03 Yeah, I agree that eating healthier foods can make you feel better - although I'm not convinced a raw diet is necessarily 'more' healthier than a varied diet - but to suggest that the food you eat helps you make more ethical decisions and choices is fucking absurd. To even suggest such an idea is steeped within superiority over others in itself.
@thomholliday1 :) i dunno about "ethical" as ethics are just rules and laws. I'm talking about intuition, and just knowing, not following a set of data of "how you should act in scenario a vs scenario b". Really, he is probably just selling something, i dunno, i haven't watched this guy's videos minus this one and those in this. However, i do know that i myself as MUCH more calm and collected when i eat very well, in turn able to make better decision, or understand better decisions.
is there really a point in leaving rude comments? i didn't think so, so i suggest to start keeping them to yourselves. life's too short for negativity. matt's doing great. why not take a look at your own lives! I LOVE YOU MATT AND ANGELA!
@beansprout85, wait, why do you say he's dirty? As for long haired and shirtless, cool for that! I suppose he could get breast implants and wear an Armani suit and a rolex, then he'd be clean. This world is run by idiots that build nuclear plants and start wars over fossil fuels. Do you really want to spend your time worry about hippies?
T me Matt seems to act like he is high much of the time. I wish he would just not get soooo close to the camera all the time. I want to listen but much of the time I have to turn away. Angela should always be in the forefront in my humble opinion
Matt and Angela stayed at our house when Matt was speaking in Nashville. Pure awesome, that's all I will say. You've come a long way, baby... LIVING THE DREAM!
Leave Matt alone! He's cool! If my husband didn't have to stay in the USA for money reasons, I would move down to Equador and live by them in their community! :)
the difference in arrogance and confidence is that the confident beleive they are awesome while the arrogant believe that they are awesome and better than everyone else
I actually found this video very inspiring, especially after watching Matt and Angela's other stuff on therawfoodworld.
If running a company that sells things that change people's lives, having a beautiful partner, living in a tropical paradise and the list goes on and on doesn't make you some kind of example for raw foodism and living more harmoniously with nature I don't know what does!
@moktarsphinx I think arrogant is his middle name. LOL That is why is soooooooooo successful.. He has the confidence and speaks the truth to make it all happen for he and Angela. I think he is great and am proud to "know" such a successful young man.
I think he is better now. Before you saw a man who appeared to be a bit shallow. Now he is intouch with who he really is and the superficial has fallen away. To me he looks and is better now.
It's really amazing that Matt was able to go 100% Raw overnight. I have known about Raw Foods for a year now and am finally immersing myself into the diet. As he said, I know what I'm doing is right and correct (at least for myself with my body) because of how great I feel. It has been an incredible experience and I'm so excited to see what else is to come. I'm grateful for so many excited, informed Raw Foodies who have a joy in sharing their life story and their great recipes.
@justtravis "We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.” Paolo Cuelho
Matt is kewl, creative, and smart. He has a great message for everyone especially younger people. He provides it in a humorous and fun way. If you see it any differently, than lighten up...Happy New Year everyone!
This is awesome.... it's not the typical fat/unhealthy person on the SAD to an uber-healthy raw guy. And he kinda does look better with short hair. But the point is, he went raw. Everybody should go raw, even egotistical chauvinistic party animals! (especially them!) I must admit, the personality change from pre-raw to post raw is phenomenal. And he did it instantaneously with no transition. Bravo.
@tabula123456 Yes , there is plenty wrong with genetically modified foods . Please take your own advise and do some research . Genetically modified foods have already increased the disease rates of animals who have them included in their feed . Genetically modified corn , wheat and soy have given rats cancerous tumors according to scientists in Russia , Wales and Scotland . Monsanto tries to block any independant study of their crops for safety by suing scientists under copyright laws .
You can eliminate the dark circles by adding more nuts and seeds. You are not getting enough calories (dense). You are almost there but need more calories. Also add a little whey protein isolate (clear kind 0 cholesterol). Also a little egg white protein. You have to experiment but I can tell you that you will gain more lean muscle mass doing this and lose the dark circles around your eyes.
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, promote healthy living and speak out on this important topic. Today our national campaign released a video that ups the ante on the toxic chemical lobby and mocks their PR efforts on behalf of toxic chemicals. WIll you please help us by spreading the word? We would love it if you would post a video response and let us know any other ways you think will help on YouTube. Thank you!
@leahcimrac Raw food isnt heated above 115F but its good to stop at 105F. The diet is based on fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds that are unprocessed. I belive it to the most natural way to eat and is a cure in disguise to many of todays common health problems. Heres someones blog post on comparing carnivores to humans and the raw food lifestyle.
@MindofaJedi your so right, I wish you were wrong. It sounds rediculous that something out there would want to be so harmful. I wish someone would stop this.
Strange man by the looks of it. Glad his diet is working out, but it's a shame to see that idiots posting crap about food industries being scam artists. Why does it have to be one or the other? Just because one lifestyle works, why do you have to slag off another? It just make you look insecure.
i want to do this too but it's hard when i don't have much money to get fresh fruit and stuff. .. btw how long did it take you to grow your hair that long?
@griptick u need to stop doing celery enamas grip, just becasue john kerry recomends it, i mean do u hate the troops or do u just want to bang them and eat astronat food together while drinking muscle milk, listen buttermilk faggot the troops make it possible for u to rim your dog nestor, show some respect
Lose 20 pounds EASY!!! Have an important event coming up? With this guide I put together, losing weight has never been easier! I lost almost 200 pounds with this method!! It easy and doesnt involve not eating the things you love! Check it out!
Very interesting video. Got to be impressed by a guy who fist wakes up to acknowledging he doesn't have a purpose and then, in the course of just living, keeps his eye on the goal and turns something that he's doing anyway INTO his purpose.
personally when i started losing muscle it scared the shit out of me ,i stopped in time ,but was good for cleansing ,maybe for others it works long term...
It is not the Raw Living Foods Lifestyle that makes people loose muscle...It's the lack of exercise, and not eat enough Green Leafy Veggies that causes that...I came down from about 160-165 to now about 130-133...I'm all muscle very defined, I ride a bike about 6-10 miles a day, and workout about hr. 3-4 time a week at home...I went Raw about 1yr. ago-about 60-70% my first 6mth, & 99.9% last 6, I'll begoing100% U have to work them if U want to keep them-I Thrive in The Raw LivingFoods LifeStyle
i really want to become 100% raw, but im concerned about the decrease in muscle mass. I am about 80% raw now, because i eat a large bowl of quinoa everyday. I already know the spiritual/mental effects of going raw, but i really don't want to lose my well earned strength and muscle mass. does anyone have any suggestions?
@Adrenaline969 Enzymes and amino-acids is the answer. The body is slower transform protein into the system, and it will eventually become enzymes before it is taken up by the body. Sprouts, wheatgrass and seaweeds/algae are great examples!
I'm always blown away by the changes I see in people on the raw food diet. It's astounding! Matt, you're a perfect example of this. Purpose, energy & clarity seem to be among the most profound benefits...what more could you ask for? Congratulations.
There are three parts to human conscious awareness ordinarily known as body (matter/physical), mind (bioenergy body/serpent power/electromagnetic energy (Bruce Lipton) and spirit (Most High/ that which you obey/personal god/s). Know your enemy on each level.
Actually, I was doing "Video Diaries" in 1998. My parents had just bought a new camcorder and I carried it around with me everywhere. I even took it to school (and got detention..) I don't think it is that strange. MTV had 'The Real World' and everyone was into video-ing thier personal lives in the 90's. :-D
You will learn about the deception of a completely vegan or vegetarian diet. Raw foodists will experience short term benefits on such diets and then give testimonials about how good they feel. But in the long run a number people begin to deteriorate and blame it on everything except their raw diet and that is what the book documents. Even Paul Brag and Norman Walker were not pure vegetarians.
I have been on a raw food diet for about 2 months and I feel horrible. My eyes are burning and I have a difficult time concentrating. I wonder if it is really worth it.
Dry, burning eyes were reported by 43 percent of the people Greg interviewed on a vegan diet for at least 6 months. The trap people get into is to get even stricter about their diet thinking their problem is a result of some compromise. They get locked in. Gregs wifes neck got so weak and thin that she could hardly hold her head up. There is a whole list of symptoms he documents from years of vegan dieting.
Jack Lalanne was a vegetarian for a while many years ago but not anymore.
I have chewing issues, and I used to eat tons of raw foods, lost over 100 lbs myself. With the needed change of how I can eat, raw foods are cut out of my diet drastically, and I feel a noticeable difference in energy and cravings. Other than my health, I wish to be able to eat more raw vegetables in their wholeness. I was forced to months of liquid eating, and then to puree, and some may find happiness with this, but I was purely miserable.
No, I have been on it for nearly month and I hardly belch or fart. The rare times I do are odourless. It also has to do with not eating quickly and taking the time to chew your food properly before swallowing.
Hey Tranquil87! I'm not the only one ho has gven the same suggestion about the hair. This is an advertisement for raw diet, so why not give a nice clean image?? By the way, I'm in no way being mean or making fun of anyone. I admire the change mentally, spiritually, and body wise on him. I'm also on my second week of being Raw, so he is an inspiration.
he makes me laugh XD hahahaha

Very interesting video. Got to be impressed by a guy who fist wakes up to acknowledging he doesn't have a purpose and then, in the course of just living, keeps his eye on the goal and turns something that he's doing anyway INTO his purpose.

It is not the Raw Living Foods Lifestyle that makes people loose muscle...It's the lack of exercise, and not eat enough Green Leafy Veggies that causes that...I came down from about 160-165 to now about 130-133...I'm all muscle very defined, I ride a bike about 6-10 miles a day, and workout about hr. 3-4 time a week at home...I went Raw about 1yr. ago-about 60-70% my first 6mth, & 99.9% last 6, I'll begoing100% U have to work them if U want to keep them-I Thrive in The Raw LivingFoods LifeStyle

i really want to become 100% raw, but im concerned about the decrease in muscle mass. I am about 80% raw now, because i eat a large bowl of quinoa everyday. I already know the spiritual/mental effects of going raw, but i really don't want to lose my well earned strength and muscle mass. does anyone have any suggestions?
Adrenaline969 2 years ago
@Adrenaline969 Enzymes and amino-acids is the answer. The body is slower transform protein into the system, and it will eventually become enzymes before it is taken up by the body. Sprouts, wheatgrass and seaweeds/algae are great examples!

I'm always blown away by the changes I see in people on the raw food diet. It's astounding! Matt, you're a perfect example of this. Purpose, energy & clarity seem to be among the most profound benefits...what more could you ask for? Congratulations.

Actually, I was doing "Video Diaries" in 1998. My parents had just bought a new camcorder and I carried it around with me everywhere. I even took it to school (and got detention..) I don't think it is that strange. MTV had 'The Real World' and everyone was into video-ing thier personal lives in the 90's. :-D

Read Greg Westbrook's online book,
"When Hallelujah Becomes What Happened?"
You will learn about the deception of a completely vegan or vegetarian diet. Raw foodists will experience short term benefits on such diets and then give testimonials about how good they feel. But in the long run a number people begin to deteriorate and blame it on everything except their raw diet and that is what the book documents. Even Paul Brag and Norman Walker were not pure vegetarians.

I have been on a raw food diet for about 2 months and I feel horrible. My eyes are burning and I have a difficult time concentrating. I wonder if it is really worth it.
1065104u 2 years ago
Dry, burning eyes were reported by 43 percent of the people Greg interviewed on a vegan diet for at least 6 months. The trap people get into is to get even stricter about their diet thinking their problem is a result of some compromise. They get locked in. Gregs wifes neck got so weak and thin that she could hardly hold her head up. There is a whole list of symptoms he documents from years of vegan dieting.
Jack Lalanne was a vegetarian for a while many years ago but not anymore.

Thanks for the info! I actually have considered doing 75% raw and 25% fish. I'm thinking my body just isn't getting enough protein. Thanks again!

Jack is a pescaterian these days. Not that it says anything really.
He started eating meat because they though it was essential for body builders back in the day. Now we now better.

Well, you are doing something wrong that's for sure.
Some mild detox effects is normal, but feeling terrible all he time certainly isn't, and it's not worth it.
You need to figure out which raw food diet suits you. Then it will be worth it!

This video almost seems sarcastic.
I have chewing issues, and I used to eat tons of raw foods, lost over 100 lbs myself. With the needed change of how I can eat, raw foods are cut out of my diet drastically, and I feel a noticeable difference in energy and cravings. Other than my health, I wish to be able to eat more raw vegetables in their wholeness. I was forced to months of liquid eating, and then to puree, and some may find happiness with this, but I was purely miserable.

Does all raw make you fart? My wife and I have a "cold war" policy. I don't fire my missle and she won't.
funkycowboy 2 years ago
No, I have been on it for nearly month and I hardly belch or fart. The rare times I do are odourless. It also has to do with not eating quickly and taking the time to chew your food properly before swallowing.

Hey Tranquil87! I'm not the only one ho has gven the same suggestion about the hair. This is an advertisement for raw diet, so why not give a nice clean image?? By the way, I'm in no way being mean or making fun of anyone. I admire the change mentally, spiritually, and body wise on him. I'm also on my second week of being Raw, so he is an inspiration.
