my belly is full with carbs... I am hungry almost all of the time... probably because i haven't eaten properly for just about... MY ENTIRE LIFE!! ahhhh... carb bliss... heaven...
im confused.. can 100% raw vegans cook there veggie? and can I use homemade vinager? or 100% natural olive oil? thank you so much for making these videos :) it motivates me to stay raw.
I have such a hard time with what to eat! I have been born and raised on a dairy/beef farm. My farmer/country "friends" look down on me because I was eating a vegan diet and any of my vegetarian/vegan friends were down on me because of where I live. I was raw vegan for 6 months in 2009 but because I wasn't eating enough I dropped over 70 pounds in that short time. Clearly I need help.
Thank you so much DR!!! I've read what seems like everything on raw vegan diets, and tried a few things. But thanks to this vid it's so much clearer to me. Thanks for sharing all this information with us!! You and Freelee are awesome!
This is a great video. I live in Winnipeg, (colder then Germany) I'm buying these bags of frozen mixed fruit, and frozen mixed berries. 2kg is about $13. Nothing Wrong with frozen fruit, eh? I'm glad you mentioned Steamed potatoes and rice but what condiments are you talking about? I use mrs. dash when I'm trying to be healthy, it's basically dried erbs got that suggestion from Joel Fuhrman.
One other thing, as much as I liked this video, you still could have book ended it with Freelee dancing:p
Okay I have been doing this for only 2 days and my digestive system has been shit for the pass 5-6 years I thought it was normal thing..but in the just two days my digestion is great I can't wait to see what else is going to change
Great video. I have a question ( and sorry for my bad english). You said that bananas and dates are very important in a HCRV diet because they have enough calories. I tried to eat them but I don`t like dates and bananas are nice but not my favourite ones. Is there any other fruit which contains enough calories to eat them as a base fruit in my diet? I love mangos for example, but I live in germany and can`t get my hands on them regularly. Do you have an advice for me? Thank you.
@Claraellenmama If you dont like bananas and dates and live in Germany then get used to rice, pasta and potatoes. Just keep it low fat, no oil, low salt and no animal.
Bananas & dates are the rice and pasta of the raw food lifestyle. Anyone trying to do raw in Europe without them is gonna be hating life very quickly due to glucose exhaustion from insufficient carbohydrate intake.
@durianriders how many minumum calories would you reccommend for a girl (normal weight) on potatoes and rice? would it be slightly less than same person on raw?
@Claraellenmama I never imagined myself eating so many bananas either but now I love them in smoothies as long as they're fully ripe because then they make better smoothies, create better energy and don't stick to your teeth or cause any bloating. There are different types of dates (buy without additives!) varying in moistness, including fresh dates (ask your greengrocer to get you some fresh as many in packets are dried or heated), so they're worth trying out when you're hungry.
@Claraellenmama I started out enjoying some fresh lemon juice with dates blended into banana smoothies and I still enjoy this. I like to add some tender, leafy greens as well. Others sometimes add fresh orange juice or oranges. Can you get persimmons there? I also like honeydew or piel de sapo melon blended with cucumber as well although it might not satisfy hunger for long.
@Claraellenmama Check out Mike Arnstein's channel (theFruitarian). He eats very few bananas and almost no dates and is a great example of someone who doesn't eat many dates and bananas and can still thrive on this lifestyle. It doesn't matter what fruit you eat as long as you get enough calories. Grapes, watermelon, oranges, papaya, berries, mangos, persimmons, etc. whatever it takes to get enough calories.
@IronCobra22 What do you think Mike eats when he won the Vermont this year or does his epic runs? Do you think he carries a 30lb watermelon on his back or has high cal, low weight bricks of dates with him?
Do the math bro, you need light weight, high sugar foods when you hit the long stuff or your gonna get weighed down too much. Thats why all the top runners use gels. They are basically dates with the protein and fiber removed.
@durianriders Well, obviously Mike eats dates when he runs marathons. I never argued with that. In his video here on Youtube called "Fruitarianism and Dates: a Message of Personal Experience" he even clearly states that he uses dates for ultra-running events, but he avoids dates for everyday eating. Mike prefers high-water fruits for everyday eating. I've also heard Mike use honey for marathons, so there is that. Not to say honey is healthy; because it's not.
Harley is the only guy in the raw food movement who's giving real advice. 30 bananas a day; 3000 calories.
There's plenty of people talking about raw food, superfoods etc. but will never objectively tell you what to eat on a daily basis. You can't live on superfoods that have 10 calories per kg.
Why can Mike Arnstein eat more watermelons and oranges than Harley? Because Mike doesn't even follow 811 100%. Mike follows "grazing" diet where he eats as much as often as he wants without stuffing himself. Most animals in nature (except maybe carnivores like lions,etc.) dont stuff themselves with food then why should we stuff ourselves? Those animals eat all day long whenever hungry. I personally believe that Mike's philosophy is more natural and healthy than eating till your stomach explodes.
@IronCobra22 Its about doing what works for you. I cant eat as much as Mike does, I need lighter foods with higher caloric value. Its about choosing what fruits work for you to get the job done. :)
Graze or feast? I do both depending on my situation.
@durianriders decide to give vegan another try after seeing this vid last month. Worked heaps good, lost two belt sizes and maintained the same body weight. loads more cash over and just one unexpected side affect. alchohol doesn't get me buzzed any more.
@220fj Doug Graham suggests eating only 2 or 3 times a day, stretching your stomach, and eating big meals. Watch Mike's video on grazing. He eats many times a day and never stuffs himself. Sorry, maybe I worded this wrong. Mike still eats 811, he is just using a completely different approach to eating those foods.
@IronCobra22 Bro, I lived with Mike! He can eat me under the table! He is the first dude Ive met that can eat more than me. I couldnt believe it. I thought there was something wrong with me. I just saw his big bowl of food and thought 'fuck! no way I could eat all that!' lol!
you must have been eating some really bad shit to have all those problems before 2011. no wonder you felt better you must have been a right junky monkey
harley, this is one of your best videos, i really like all the info you speak about here, it helps me, thank you. please emphasize more on fruit combinations with fruits or any other type of food.
This is one of your BEST videos - since you were very positive, concise on the content and to the point - awesome !!! just did 3 hrs this morning on the bike - had blended bananas and dates and some almonds on the bottle .. felt awesome ..then stooped by a raw juice bar for good green juice (pricey- but i like to support them).. and then a huge salad for lunhc - now munhcing on a bag of dates with a large cup of team
A successful recipe in a nutshell for a vegan lifestyle! Thank you for sharing!
I'm really glad to hear about potatoes, I eat them (or brown rice) with broccoli, beetrots, carrots, onions steamed all together, and this helps me a lot in my 'transition'.
Question about potatoes, is it possible to smash them up and soak the toxins out. I saw this onetime at a Ray Mears episode where some kind of tribe did this to something similar to our potatoes. Maybe this way you don't have to heat them to be edible. Perhaps make like dehydrated chips out of it.
thanks for the tips, harley! i eat mostly high carb raw but when i don't its high carb cooked and i kick myself in the ass for it. thanks for reminding me to keep it high carb vegan because i tend to forget its better than high fat low carb raw (gourmet). keep up with the videos! my and boyfriend and i love ya, mate!
harley, you say that you need to drink enough water to pee a few times a night. i feel like that would be a pretty big disturbance to my sleep as i dont usually pee during the night
(because i limit fluid intake immediately before bedtime) and i still manage to have clear urine when i wake up in the morning. so is it really necessary?
This video is amazing. I have added it to my favorites, and will be viewing it every morning before heading off to work, to keep me focused. I can't wait until your book comes out! You and Freelee are truly inspirational!
@kelhado I didnt know how bad the animals had it till I went vegan. Then it just made even more sense to make it a life long lifestyle vs some quick get healthy fad diet.
Once a sane adult knows the truth about the animal product industries be it factory farming cows or shooting wild bison or machete chopping chimps for bush meat, its only a matter of minutes before they make changes in their diet.
Thank you for this video! I'm doing a lot of back and forth (always vegan) in my first 6 months of this lifestyle. It's good to know that someone who is so successful had the same problems!
To the Klappers, maybe try Earth Balance vegan buttery spread and dill spice on your potatoes as you transition? Certainly better than opting for dairy.
Im looking to transition & wondering the condiments you use as well as im finding i crave for flavor, eg my potatoes have always had salt & butter which i know i have to let go...Probably a mental thing as well, Keep up the videos as its hard finding trustworthy sources of information here
@TheKlappers High calorie, low fat, raw vegan will satisfy you so your cravings are banished. If you're looking for transition foods, you can buy vegan gravy and you can find all kinds of delicious vegan recipes. Hope this helps!
@TheKlappers You can do a lot of cool things, try..
- deglacing bell peppers down into a sweet sauce (you can make low fat chili sauce by deglacing chilli peppers down at the same time or adding whole) (deglacing is just sauteing or sweating down something, then usually straining it, then reducing the liquid over a medium flame to intensify flavour). add lemon to get sweet + sour chili sauce.
Try mashed potato over lentil + tomato sauce, like a shepherds pie.
really great video Harley! it's a great way to transition, eating rice and potatoes :) What kind of condiments did you use? i think you mentioned soysauce, but not sure? :)
Damn can't believe it? I may have just found a way.. Awesome video :) I am 31 years old and trying to improve my health. I spend my 20ies partying... I am running often, but no energy.. So I am better off eating baked potateos and rice in large portions? Or do you do lots of small meal`s? I will get your book for sure.. I just really want energy for LIFE!
thanks so much for sharing this. For some reason it's really reassuring that you struggled in the beginning to get it just right. I think I heard Doug Graham say something similar once. It makes it easier to keep trying to get it right... thanks!
Excellent. I am trying to detox due to a thyroid problem but having a difficult time with cravings. I did not know that dates was a good food source. Do you do consultations? Thanks.
@CANvsDK I drink juice for sure but dont make it part of my daily routine as its low cal compared to bananas and dates. Its a good back up plan though.
I havent drunk booze since 2001. Its toxic crap and fruit and fruit juice are just a better source of carbs compared to booze.
good stuff! it's funny how in this day in age we need to pay to receive information ie. school and paying to learn all about health (psyche!) at the Longevity Conference. "pay me and I will tell you, don't pay me and i won't"
I got told not to eat to many banana's or I would get potassium poisoning. However now I would eat any amount of banana's, if I felt the need too. :-)
Harley, That is one of your best videos! Ty! Very interesting, informative,and motivating. You are a great example of health and fitness. Maybe you could create a more in depth DVD for purchase, getting more specific on your running and cycling achievements, and how to begin a program while incorporating your diet. Besides, you have already given a lot of complimentary information. You make it sound so easy and fun. I'd like to blow away my boyfriend who believes he's got all the answers!
@petekrusetunes I think Paul Nison is a nice guy and my first book I read on raw living was his book 'raw life'. I learned about Durian & Doug Graham from that book. I just wish it had more emphasis on caloric carb sufficiency.
Im writing my book at the moment. Will be out very soon.
Yo Harley, one of your BEST vids man! Don't get me wrong, nearly all of your vids are inspiring and on point, but this one had that extra somethin' to it...thanks bro! Maybe you're right, what it took you years to learn, you're droppin' for us in a few minutes...no worries mate...kindness like that always comes back to ya...peace!
gr8 vid interesting how david wolfe is sending ppl over the hill and thru the woods.. and pushing crackcow.. karma is a bitch.. perhaps david will suffer some bad health for knowingly hurting others.
I've been using organic hemp protein powder just to make sure I'm getting my essential amino acids since my days are pretty busy. I usually blend it in with bananas, berries, and water. I feel good after this. What do you think of hemp protein? I also have been eating rice, and some corn products, but notice I feel like shit afterwards... any idea why?
@b0ondockz Many people feel unwell after cooked food. A LFRV diet is best and potatoes are likely the second best carb. If you want to eat cooked food, you could eat a lot of dark leafy greens like kale with your meals to help you feel your best. Kale is actually really nice raw with cooked carbs. Cucumber-fruit juice is hydrating/energising with cooked carbs.
Harley, it's time for some Zzzz so I'm looking forward to watching this in the morning.. I couldn't resist watching the first 2 mins and I just have to say you look really cute :-)
@durianriders i like potatoes but they take like an hour to bake which is okay because you can get like 8 at a time. however i found if I wanted to store them in the fridge for the next day they go bad, making me having to wait an hour everytime i want to have them. How did you do it?
Thanks Harley! I've been trying to go raw/vegan for a while and always revert back to the standard American diet. Rice, oatmeal and potatoes? Plus, lots of fruit? I think I can finally make this vegan lifestyle work for me. I may not be able to do 100% raw but this is definitely a step in the right direction. My main goal is fat loss. You're the man! Keep up the great work.

@TheKlappers You can do a lot of cool things, try..
- deglacing bell peppers down into a sweet sauce (you can make low fat chili sauce by deglacing chilli peppers down at the same time or adding whole) (deglacing is just sauteing or sweating down something, then usually straining it, then reducing the liquid over a medium flame to intensify flavour). add lemon to get sweet + sour chili sauce.
Try mashed potato over lentil + tomato sauce, like a shepherds pie.

Damn can't believe it? I may have just found a way.. Awesome video :) I am 31 years old and trying to improve my health. I spend my 20ies partying... I am running often, but no energy.. So I am better off eating baked potateos and rice in large portions? Or do you do lots of small meal`s? I will get your book for sure.. I just really want energy for LIFE!

thanks so much for sharing this. For some reason it's really reassuring that you struggled in the beginning to get it just right. I think I heard Doug Graham say something similar once. It makes it easier to keep trying to get it right... thanks!

@CANvsDK I drink juice for sure but dont make it part of my daily routine as its low cal compared to bananas and dates. Its a good back up plan though.
I havent drunk booze since 2001. Its toxic crap and fruit and fruit juice are just a better source of carbs compared to booze.

Harley, That is one of your best videos! Ty! Very interesting, informative,and motivating. You are a great example of health and fitness. Maybe you could create a more in depth DVD for purchase, getting more specific on your running and cycling achievements, and how to begin a program while incorporating your diet. Besides, you have already given a lot of complimentary information. You make it sound so easy and fun. I'd like to blow away my boyfriend who believes he's got all the answers!

petekrusetunes 2 months ago
@petekrusetunes I think Paul Nison is a nice guy and my first book I read on raw living was his book 'raw life'. I learned about Durian & Doug Graham from that book. I just wish it had more emphasis on caloric carb sufficiency.
Im writing my book at the moment. Will be out very soon.

I've been using organic hemp protein powder just to make sure I'm getting my essential amino acids since my days are pretty busy. I usually blend it in with bananas, berries, and water. I feel good after this. What do you think of hemp protein? I also have been eating rice, and some corn products, but notice I feel like shit afterwards... any idea why?
b0ondockz 2 months ago
@b0ondockz Many people feel unwell after cooked food. A LFRV diet is best and potatoes are likely the second best carb. If you want to eat cooked food, you could eat a lot of dark leafy greens like kale with your meals to help you feel your best. Kale is actually really nice raw with cooked carbs. Cucumber-fruit juice is hydrating/energising with cooked carbs.

@misseptember I was great eating potatoes and rice. I kept it low fat and low salt and vegan. I just find fruit works better for me.
durianriders 2 months ago 5
@durianriders i like potatoes but they take like an hour to bake which is okay because you can get like 8 at a time. however i found if I wanted to store them in the fridge for the next day they go bad, making me having to wait an hour everytime i want to have them. How did you do it?
jbrah69 2 months ago
@jbrah69 Sliced, steamed potatoes cook quickly (15 - 20 min) and boiled potatoes cook faster than baked.
natureasintended 2 months ago
Thanks Harley! I've been trying to go raw/vegan for a while and always revert back to the standard American diet. Rice, oatmeal and potatoes? Plus, lots of fruit? I think I can finally make this vegan lifestyle work for me. I may not be able to do 100% raw but this is definitely a step in the right direction. My main goal is fat loss. You're the man! Keep up the great work.
