Raw Food Experiment Day 83 - Coping with 'Cooked' lovers!

[composertimbeek]

why would it matter if your partner isn't raw

[ophelia7707]

Tell him how hot it would be if he was raw!

[rastadevi]

Absolutely - people before principles, and principles within our own personal space. Way to go! You are an inspiration.

Ah I live with my mum and she is a cheese/meat/chocolate lover. She does eat alot of salads that I make for her but she insists on "not giving up the things she loves." It is hard not to pass judgement and comment on the processed meats she adds to the raw salads I make for her. But I try. Leading by example is the only way to make a real difference in this world..

the whole thing about the wheat is true. i'm vegan so the whole getting rid of dairy and meat doesn't affect me, but the wheat does. i went raw twice and both times the craving for wheat products is what really got me. i think maybe if i got rid of wheat before i went raw i could do it. thanks for the inspiration. i think i'm done with wheat from now on. and then after that is achieved i'm on my way to raw! fantastic vids!

Just the fact that Sebastian is trying to be raw is huge. I speak to my family about my raw food journey and they talk to me about their doctor appointments and all you can eat buffets. I'm getting healthier and happier and they're getting sicker and they intentionally don't see to connection. I cannot push them or berate them but I do want them to see the potential in an alternative to their lifestyle. I'm hoping that leading by example works.

my dad is a doctor and he tells me i'll fall ill with this lifestyle

he caught a bad flu, probably from a patient, and i feel fine

HAHA THE M.D. WAS WRONG =)

both of you, in my opinion are just so so awesome and such a good example for everyone

:0)

Maybe I should kick up the bee pollen a bit. Do you add it to your smoothies only? Or do you add it to your salads and stuff?

[RawDownUnder]

Just smoothies and salads.

[nathaliewithanh]

i just eat a big spoonful in the mornings with my water! amazing stuff! <3

YAY! I am so happy you updated.

For me, having a family that is not raw has been really hard. Especially lately, it's kicked me off the wagon a bit. I thought after having my surgery it would be what I could use to clean the slate. And then I ended up not feeling good enough to stand in the kitchen and prep my meals so I kind of went with "whatever"...which is why I haven't made another video. Maybe this week. Bunny Berry did a awesome video called "preachin'." I think it was. It's in my favs

Glad you're back!! I missed you! I'm about 90% raw, and this is Day 133 for me. My husband is a champ, but not really all raw. He drinks the smoothies, and eats lots of salads with me, but I make homemade whole grain bread to fill out his diet. And I add some grated cheese on the salads for him. I try to make sure he has what he likes in a healthy diet, and he, in turn, goes along with my raw thing. And we are both healthier and happier for it. Make an yummy smoothie to counteract the bad one!

Wow, I am single and I am not too sure how to handle dating men who aren't raw. I thought I'd only date raw men, but I feel that if I lead by example I may be able to date non-raw. We will see how that goes! I think you are just the sweetest thing ever! Thanks for the update!

[Seedcovers]

Sounds like you handled the situation perfectly. You have done an awesome job so far :-)
