RAW FOOD DIET - How I got into raw foods! (part one)

[zaika1982]

Why is almost everyone saying something negative about meat??? The bread and all these simple carbs are the thing that's robbing you of energy and life, and depositing fat into your gut. There's nothing wrong with lean meat though. C'mon!

[RawLab]

That'a lot of honesty in this video. That was very brave DTM! It's true what they say: the truth will set you free (and others along with you)

[gregnotes]

Thank you Dan, wish I knew where you are appearing at next

[DebraEngle01]

I've seen this new eating plan called DietOramy (search on google) - my auntie told me she started utilizing this and already shed few lbs, without feeling starving or even tired whatsoever... what do you think, has any1 ever done it yet?

[VegicusRex]

@DebraEngle01 You have put this on several people's channels now, DebraEngle01. It's time to stop the spamming and advertise through your own avenues. Please be polite and courteous.

[cashin31]

What about eating raw cannabis?? Live enzymes are full and the THC is rich? :)

[jaymes303]

<3 love Cannabis!!!!

[taxivid]

Great video Dan, thank you for being so honest and upfront. So many people go through the exact same thing but are to shameful to talk out it. You inspire me to be a better person bro. Thank you!

[ILuvTrading]

DARN! i could not resist, I just ordering a freakin pizza with pepperoni. But i got tomatoes on it too if that helps. Shame on me!

[ILuvTrading]

good to here you changed your life around from drugs and alcohol. thumbs up

[journeyto6pack]

Dan you should post a video or some pictures of yourself when you was a bodybuilder and 50 pounds heavier! Would be cool to see what you looked liked back then!

[Parkourgray]

Dan Im drinkin a green juice right now brotha! Cheers!

[Parkourgray]

Dan Im drinkin a green juice right now brotha! Cheers!

[icramer]

Can you be an athlete and be on a raw food diet? Does no meat mean no protein? That worries me about this kind of diet as an athlete.

[brandonrobinson5150]

Dan I just bought a Breville Die-Cast Juice Fountain, and I think it's going to change my life.

[cafeaulait69]

i have 2 questions, is it true about oxalic acid in raw spinach and calcium absorbtion in brocolli also what are your best whole/unaltered sources of protein on a raw vegan diet??? btw great body!!! i am also looking to build muscle mass i am female, not bothered about looking too masculine want to prevent onset of osteoparosis thanks you

[widowerson]

""there are better options""" YOU GO DAN THE MAN! YOU ROCK!

[boxer12345679]

Great stuff dan!!

[TetrapakProdzekt]

put some pictures of your bodybuilding days, it would be very good to see them :)

[ytcrittical]

your face is very healthy here back when the organs still had some leftover power nourishment from meat and stuff. i might be wrong, just thought id say what i can see happening to you possibly

[camaro69blk]

Its great to see someone that used to bodybuild actually give this diet a try. I'm into bodybuilding as well and like you, i'm looking to purify my body as I have some medical issues that are starting to catch up to me. I know that the diet will definitely improve my health, but I still think that I will try to incorporate some outside protein source besides that from vegetables. Would a couple protein shakes a day with water still be ok? Maybe even a certain type of meat once a day?

[Pentimenti]

I believe in you brother! Inspiring me and Im sure others!

[upcycle]

totally relate to your story Dan.

[ForViewingOnly]

Hard to know what to write in this comments box that will do this video justice, other than 'Thank You'. Total love and respect to you, Dan the Man.

[gwk4657]

I liked your video very much.

[Angelwise11]

Thanks for sharing

[ahtnamasnworb]

"You love the weed, but you hate what it does to your life". That can be applied to so many life situations

[Videodeathtyl]

Genius.

[milkmannen]

This is the best and most touching video I've ever seen. Thanks a lot for sharing things like these.

[GunzDonovan]

No man... you rock! Dan it takes a lot of courage to come out & be totally honest

like u just did. You didnt have to. You dont owe anybody anything. But its awesome, I mean really awesome that you did. Your honesty & ability to be truthful to yourself & others is admirable. Im totally digging it. Never give up, & always keep up the good fight. Peace and love bro.

We all have demons we're working with, everyones demons are different, but we all have them in one for or another.

[LindseyE525]

You are ridiculous, hysterical, nuts, and awesome. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[djnach8]

[eojadiius]

you are so awesome

thanks for uploading this

[fitlifetv]

Love it!!

[mchalo188]

yeah Dan you rock man ! cool as ya like my friend i'm in a similar situation with weed i love the stuff but it slows me down from who i really am and i know this all too well, i smoke it to regularly so its abuse i'd say while at the same time i've always been fit trainning in boxing football and swimming. smoking weed always rumbles my routine and most occasions my day! raw foods is something new for me thanx for your videos your a true inspiration :)

[AOLDIEH]

dont get too popular dan or the government are gonna get ya!

keep on preaching bro

[rayray7269]

lol

[leeczur]

greetings brother. couple questions. ever since i started going raw i've been getting what looks like little mosquito bites or something that looks like mild chicken pox... & i don't have bed bugs.haha. but i read that juicing can flood your body with nutrients until it is overflowing which can have negative repercussions.. including forming allergic reactions to some vegetables. plus i've read the body needs balance with the fibers from the vegetables. Dr Mercola suggests only juicing 3x a week

[rogelio67]

mexican chicken fajitas,,,,

[misseptember]

not sure which one is worst alcoholism or religion ahah

[jissa683]

I subbed , thanks worth watching

[Yedgarian]

I relate so much with your life!! thanks a million for sharing such personal stuff.. x

[crizpy9119]

Wow. Amazing story, I just gained even more respect for you, and I already had a lot. Thanks so much for sharing this. Funny enough, I just came across the Essene Gospel of Peace yesterday and have been hooked ever since. Then I came across this. Funny how that works. Now I want to read it even more. Thanks for all you do Dan. Peace

[Boyastronaut]

Honest and interesting! But I wonder, how is weed harder to quit than Meth?? Sugar is more addicting for me...

[clittle10301]

I don't necessarily agree with the "religious" connotations, but you're message about letting go and making higher choices is an awesome concept! I never thought of it that way. I've stuggled with pain for 8 years now and been on and off the raw food diet. I'm so ready for this to be a lifestyle, not a "diet". You're very motivational.

[EarthAngelVideoTruth]

Thank you for sharing your story Dan. You continue to motivate me everyday. Love to you.

[ppger1]

This video just made my day as well. I'm struggling with alcohol and very much want to change my habits.

[Gerchuuuu]

oh my god, this video just made my day. you are awesome.

[1TLA7]

HE ACTS LIKE EATING RAW FOODS, IS LIKE A RELIGION AHHAHAHA ITS SO STRANGE ....

[superflyinkspot]

just downloaded the essene gospel of peace...if you've got bittorrent or utorrent, then go to isohunt and type in "essene gospel of peace"...download the torrent, ....the whole thing, all 4 books, downloaded in less than a minute. gonna go read it now...thanx!!! much love

[clickswitchh]

You rock dude ... great story

[ShotDownInFlames2]

A serious talk, thanks. A lot of people in that situation don't make it out, glad you're here and spreading the word.

[MadSmokerBBQ]

Thank you!!!

[Wolvve]

best video on youtube.

[Rampoii]

no porn..!!!! Damn

[cdinsky]

Dan, this is inspirational. Your openness and sharing helps TONS.

MaxdOut - The name of the book is "The Essene Gospel of Peace." It's incredibly awesome. I've recently returned to it - should never have stepped away from it.

[wheydust]

Cannabis is going to revolutionize society in a positive way Dan. Abuse of anything is the problem. You can abuse anything. -

[tomas6262]

@wheydust Yes cannabis is the least harmfull "drug".I use it daily and i am in excellent physical and spiritual health.

[fcarabat]

@wheydust so did cocaine lol

[genex1200]

Dan this video was the real deal....Thank you for your honesty, it helped me in a lot of ways. I also experienced the drug addictions, alcohol, over eating syndrome and I'm still dealing with the over eating and cigarett smoking. I'm really ready to get my body, mind and spirit in sync with the raw food...all I have is a regular blender but would love to have the juicer shown in your video. Once I start, I would like to work with you on the process of losing weight & feeling great!!!

[thecuzao]

book name plz!!?? iam not a native english speaker

[sandydee1x]

Very good stuff, thank you for such a moving post--have a great day!!!

[lumberjak1984]

weed is healthy and so is grass fed organic meat peace!

[littlequeen64]

You seem to do most things to the extreme.Maybe you should learn to have more balance for longer periods of time.

[southrncalifgirl1]

This is so great. Thank you for sharing. It helps give me hope! I've had terrible eating disorders my whole life. Then my precious baby sister died of eating disorders. Not sure if I'm next...

[kellyannmullen90day]

Thanks!! Now I can make pease with potatoe chips. ( they're cool, I just want a better choice). Most excelent!! It's my last drug, like you I've released many bad choices.

[MaxdOut305]

What is the name of the book? Can't pickup the name, since this audio is very low.

[liferegenerator]

@MaxdOut305 please go to read(dot)life-regenerator(dot)­com

[Peekingduck]

@liferegenerator

Nothing there : (

[liferegenerator]

@Peekingduck You have to replace each 'dot' with a '.' as I can't put actual links in a comment... or just check beneath the video for the actual link.. thanks! :D

[Peekingduck]

@liferegenerator

Thanks !

[marthanyc]

@Peekingduck essene gospel of truth just google it.

[splashcat]

@MaxdOut305 The $1 pamphlet he refers to @ 5:21? I think he says it's called, "The Essene Gospel of Peace."

[Smileeen]

@MaxdOut305 The book is "The Essene Gospel of Peace".

[airstasia]

Yes, the porno is bad.....just think.....about girls, sisters, babies, mothers. That's all. Simple Respect them and help them to be respected. Even if that means standing up to someone who threatens that.

[moneyman10k]

truly a top effort. good video liferegenerator

[moneyman10k]

normally the moneyman makes fun of hippies and stoners, but this is a righteous video of empowerment, improvement, enlightenment, all these things and more

[xcharliehustlex]

I love weed but i hate what it does to my life. I dig. 

[susiemouse]

Dan, fellow traveler, you rock! I really appreciate you and all you share.

[lusterwings]

I am proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pisscan]

is porno bad. ?  :S

[liferegenerator]

@Pisscan I can create a warped sense of sexuality!

[liferegenerator]

@liferegenerator oops, I meant to say:

IT can create a warped sense of sexuality!

[liferegenerator]

@Pisscan Plus you can also go blind! lol :D

[plutoplatters]

@Pisscan yes.more than you'll ever most likely imagine. and i'm faaaaaaaar

from religious.

[whilliey]

I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW AND I AM SO BRIMMING WITH RAW FOOD ELECTRICITY I MUST BE EARTHED AT ALL TIMES FOR SAFETY REASONS AND ALL MY UNNECESSARY BODY HAIR HAS FALLEN OUT. THE SHIT YOU SPIEL IS SO UNDER APPRECIATED! AND ANOTHER THING WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR SHIRTS?? KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT... OH AND MY FRIEND WANTS TO KNOW COULD YOU POST A NUT JUICE RECIPE BECAUSE HE TRAINS WITH IT, PEACE KUDOS LOVE KARMA XOXOXO.

[SusanBessette]

How could I have missed this vid? I thought I was a daily Dan Fan by June 2009. I just saw these two posted. Very interesting.

Welcome back from the dark side. You have really shed life into mine.

[thelifeuwant]

that was beautiful man. I feel you and dig it =D

I need to get my hand on a copy of this book that changed your life...

if your honest and really want the truth you will find it.. "Seek and ye shall find"

thanks again =D

[mellowtonen]

That was deep, it really seems this better path of healing chose you rather than you choosing it. I have very similar experiences(past and present)

[f0rumrr]

All you need to do is smoke weed and drink a little bit of alcohol and you will be fine, everything else will fuck you up.

[1pigirl]

I like these older videos.

[da1sinister1]

Hey can you send me the name of the guy you said rober morse not sure if spelled correctly, and godsherb i think would like to check both out. Great vid thank you for your info and time much luv, stay blessed

[liferegenerator]

@da1sinister1 Detox miracle source book by Robert Morse N.D.

[Animanga25]

Any books that you recommend to those who are new to Raw Food dieting and are interested? I'm very interested in this for many reasons! =)

@Animanga25 Detox miracle source book by Robert Morse N.D.

[UberChuckBAss]

OMG im a porn addict ! XD

[dafiki123]

Great story, very insiring!

[misseptember]

what you resist persists man

[smithtl10]

I don't see any signs of you being a 50lbs heavier. I was a bodybuilder and now I have found crossfit and kettlebells. I've lost about 45lbs dropping from about 260lbs down to about 215lbs and I have stretch marks in quite a few places especially around my pecks and I don't see that on you. Your raw food stuff is great but you just look like you've always been thin.

[liferegenerator]

@smithtl10 RAW FOODS=No stretch marks, besides it was muscle weight not fat...EAT RAW FOODS!!!

[smithtl10]

@liferegenerator I wasn't either and am still not fat but, whether it was fat or muscle the skin is still stretched...Anyway, I'll work on the raw foods

[greatbydesign33]

We Love You Dan. Thanks for sharing this info. Helps me out a lot. My experience is different in some ways but very duplicate in other ways. The drugs, the abandonment, the abuse (mental, emotional, physical).

That was my life. I am still struggling to work through it all.

[AudreysMommie2002]

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Mine is very similar with the abuse, drugs and alcohol. There is a better way. I hope maybe someday I can share with ppl the way you do. What an inspiration.

[kingskid29223]

Your honesty is refreshing and gives hopes to those of us who have been searching for answers for years! Thanks Dan! Luv u!

[natsumi007]

You're awesome. I love you. Thank you for all your videos

[prettymama279]

Thank you for sharing your experiences. :-)

[Omthiest]

Thanks man for this video. I've been smoking pot, eating shrooms, getting drunk, and smoking cigarettes for awhile now, and every morning i wake up from it in regret.

It's so much harder not to smoke when its right in front of you. Once i start my raw journey, im going to be done with all of it. However, College makes it all more difficult.

much love, namaste.

[popupwool2]

Thanks for sharing this,opening up,Dan. Kinda reflects my life too.

--Bert

[donnamariealba]

Look up Dan in the dictionary: Loving, STRONG!

[klevn]

you said weed was the hardest to quit...im assuming because it is the most healthy of all the drugs you just listed, otherwise im a little confused...cuz i smoke all the time and stop occasionally and its not a hard thing for me to do.

[liferegenerator]

"cuz i smoke all the time and stop occasionally and its not a hard thing for me to do."

How hard is it to stop PERMANENTLY & for FOREVER, bro? THAT is what I meant about it being hard to quit!

I also found it to be not very hard to smoke all the time, while occasionally stopping. ;)

[TAMB0rUrBAN0]

Wait, wait, wait... what's wrong with porn?

[liferegenerator]

OogA mA dOoGa :D

[danodfy]

Dan we have similar stories. Abuse drugs, alcohol and the whole gamut. I identify.

[InDyingDayz]

profound

[MissMatania]

Cool!

[1Ozwizard]

awesome

[Korialstars]

Dan, you have truly inspired me, at this point in my life, I too used to be a body builder (minus enhancements/drugs), and I've always wanted to improve my well being, my health, and my soul, and coming from an intellectual and also spiritual person like myself, I can honestly say that I have learned much from your video representation, I believe that from this day forward, I may be truly enlightened and happy, I will continue to watch your videos, and keep my mind open to your thoughts.

[flyingjuli]

we didn't come for karma, we came for the fun of it!

:)

[SweetRawLaLa]

I agree flying juli. :-) I'm into Abraham-Hicks and that's what they teach.

[poshdelux]

smart, intuitive , energetic, honest , passionate , attractive

human .

thank you dan

[0rganicscientist]

raw foods all the way man!...good testimony bro...

[SpectreXGaming]

Dude, awesome video. I'm going to check that book out, since I do happen to eat a lot of meats.

I thought nutrition was the highest level just like you did.

I'm going to have to relook a lot of things in my workout diet plan, especially regarding the protein though...

I think that'll be a hard one to quit for me haha.

[ChefRawLaLa]

So brave of you to share this with everyone. I am so happy that you are choosing health, and creating a wonderful life for yourself.

[rawlawgirl]

Dan,

Thanks for your honesty. I have found that so many who post these raw food videos come across as if they have never had a problem or struggle. They come across pretentious, but not you. I appreciate your honesty. It makes you a gem and makes your message even more powerful.

[iloveyourstory]

love dan

[lmaley]

Love ya Dan... inspiring words indeed!!

[dante1273]

Dan, that takes alot of courage to get up there and tell people your story whether or not you know the people. That makes your message so much stronger. it also adds method behind your awesome, positive madness =)

[losinmymind911]

Can you really hallucinate on chocolate? are there side effects?

[liferegenerator]

Huge side effects for me!  Chocolate? Not for me!

[LoveMatcha]

Well, more and more people say the same!!! Personally, I do not believe anymore, that these people who promote raw chocolate (you know who I am talking about) and sell it , eat it as they say they do! I just do not believe it!!!

[1RobertD]

I agree with every comment left before me. Your breeding positivity Dan. I've only seen a few of your vieos but I can't wait to watch more. I'm staying tuned. Much respect to you.

[veganprincess01]

WoW!

[liferegenerator]

20 days if you really want it!

[wigwigwigwig]

does this mean you just eat friuts and vegtibles

[liferegenerator]

Yes

[wigwigwigwig]

how fast can i loose 20 pounds if i do this

[fastinggurl31]

Dan Thank you for you very open & honest video. I have came to raw foods in a attempt to heal myself as well. And it is working. I have been on again off again for 10 years. Right now I have been on raw foods for awhile & it feels great. I look forward to catching up on your whole vlog!

[Truth578]

Hey Dan..Thanks for sharing!! I luv your videos

[coconutboi11]

It took me 34 years to wake up :)

[Lorreyla]

In all the videos I have watched on youtube this is the first I have ever commented on. I just had to commend you on your honesty and strength. It took a lot of guts and hard work to go from where you were to the man you are today. Congratulations. I love your videos and keep them coming.

[marilyninpdx]

this is probably the most REAL video/expose I've ever seen. You rock, Dan! Very inspirational.  You have no idea!

[kodakZX1]

Now you're being real. Keep it up Dan! People are listening, and some will change just a little from your sharing.

Peace!

[rubyspirit2]

Yeah, I feel different and more complete eating mostly raw foods. The cacao never interest me and now I'm glad it didn't. Life is about learning ... and it never stops, even when we leave here.
