WHY SHOULD I EAT A RAW DIET?

[antoniette136]

@Joy2dEdge Me too! I lose some pounds by just following those suggested diet solution and now, I can say that my body looks slim.. :) Proud to say that.. lol..

Girl, you mispelled the diet site, That should be WeightLossAction.Info..

[xkellie99x]

bitch, ima go get some mother fucking kfc...maybe there were kfc's in 100 BC, how the fuck would you know?

...cocky now arent we sir?

[RickHignett]

We only have canine teeth to use as opportunistic Omnivores but our diet should be a ratio of 70:30 - Raw Fruit, Veg & Nuts : Meat (if not 90:10)

Anyway, although I'm from the UK, this whole obesity thing is a worldwide problem. You guys in the US get it tough sometimes cause all the focus is on you - it's pretty bad over here to (and getting worse).

Great info ;-)

[RickHignett]

Great video, thanks - there really are some deluded people commenting on this lol

If people are worried about a lack of protein they need to do more research into exactly WHAT protein is (Hint: Google 'Amino Acids' & how the body uses them). Also, YouTube 'Raw Vegan Bodybuilder' if you want to bulk-up - it's VERY possible.

Also, not sure how anyone can dispute that the body is designed for eating Fruit & Vegetables - kinda baffles me. What do they think we evolved from? Hello!!!!? We only ha

[BluefruitNMusicSnow]

Where is your proof that the body can't recognize cooked food?

[2011Queenn]

Wow, this is great video, you are my hero! Thanks.

[MrJordanstech]

Let me first say that I don't eat meat. But, this video is a load of bullshit. You provide NO peer reviewed scientific literature, NO data, and don't prove anything. Yes we need to eat healthier, but you never demonstrate that raw is a good way to do that.

Also, just as a comment, stop saying livining things were "designed", it makes you sound like a creationist.

[badpanda84]

While I agree - what about protein - particularly if you want to gain muscle mass.

[letsgetraw]

@badpanda84 There are vegan sources of protein such as hemp. Do a Google search to find more sources. There are vegan body builders here on YT.

[PMSHIELDS]

@badpanda84 the what about protein question is really a misconception about proteins you think you are getting from sources that traditionally have been positioned as being such. This is a complete falacy. Do some research to understand that Amino acids are what you derieve from proteins and that you wil arrive at a much higher level of them from spinash and other various greens when eaten raw. Cooked foods and in particular animal products really are not protein rich at all. Do the research

[TheRawPanda]

@badpanda84 lol, love ur username ;) Eating 'protein' does not create protein in your body... AMINO ACIDS create protein in your body, get the right amount of amino acids (especially the essential ones) and you will have no problem whatsoever with building healthy muscle mass... When you eat plants you are eating protein, that's what makes up the cell walls.. protein!

[trailkeeper]

This is also good incentive to start growing some of our own food and quit relying on someone else to do what is necessiary for our life. I heard "Earthbox" is a good product and method, prevents soil erosion, water evaporation, and it's portable. I seen some YouTube vids about it.

[metaspherz]

Many persons make wrong food choices. That includes going 100% raw, 100% vegan, 100% juicer, 100% water diet, 100% whatever---it's rarely best. Why? Extremist lifestyles always come crashing down at some point. And with it much stress when straying from the strictly 100% path. It's like religion & going to church every Sunday. Miss a Sunday, you start making excuses &

Think about it. Moderation is less stressful, more fun means more freedom & a healthier all-over lifestyle!

[metaspherz]

Very good points to consider about processed food. I tried but I couldn't find much with which to fault. I remain about 60 - 70% raw in my diet. I love the natural flavor of fresh fruit & veggies. I've juiced for nearly 50 years, I've taken nutritional suppliments for all of my life (my family owned several health food stores when I was a teenager so I learned healthy habits young).

At 62 I'm still vrbrantly healthy & active. But I refuse to go 100% raw. Moderation rules my dietary choices!

[dizzydaisygal]

Ok- you seriously need to teach this and show this video in schools! You rock!!!

[healthfreak18]

I love this. I've watched it like twelve times throughout this year and last year, Thanks.

[healthfreak18]

Your videos are very inspiring.  I'm a 19 year old male and I really believe in raw food being the BEST medicine possible. Thank You :-)

[aliyoung9]

im starting this tomorrow im gonna watch this video alot so i dont give up !!

[sabiibabiixoxo]

THIS IS AWESOME.

i love cooked food but i sick of feeling tired and having that bubbly feeling in my stomach. i really think eating raw food is the way to go, especially for a healthier life.

[eldogg4life]

"nature was designed for us"???

Got talk to an evolutionary biologist and tell them that and see what they say...

I assure you we have evolved for the world and not the other way around.

Other than that great video!!!

[ncfwhitetigress]

I think it's starting to affect me because I actually started salivating at the sight of the salad in this video.

[ncfwhitetigress]

I'd say I'm eating at least 50% raw (volume-wise) at the moment.

[sdpgposd]

Unfortunately im the opposite, my body still craves those foods even though my mind knows how bad they are for me. I've been vegan for 2-3 months and 100% raw for a couple days and my body still wants those foods. Hopefully i'll forget about them in a year or so ^^

[ncfwhitetigress]

2-3 months is nothing. Keep at it and I guarantee you will forget all about the bad stuff.

[dream2last]

i watch this video almost every other day

[letsgetraw]

WOW! I don't know what to say ; D

Thank you.

[healthfreak18]

@dream2last Yes. It's that good.

[dromycatcher]

[acceptableviolence]

The 80/10/10 diet, by Douglas Graham.

[letsgetraw]

I'm reading this book now (9-24-09) and it is amazing! I continue to learn about how bodies and it's relationship with food. The chapter about fruit alone was an eye opener! It's worth adding to your collection.

[leharra]

[letsgetraw]

Always happy to hear that someone has made the change. Continue in healing your body.

[staciejung]

[queensheba1978]

Good education! I appreciate this!

[letsgetraw]

Queen,

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate them.

[joshrain1]

hi, is salt bad? (like salt on nuts).

what do you think of banana chips, cashew nuts. is chocolate bad? (like toblerone). if so why? also, what food would you recommend for men to increase semen production?

[letsgetraw]

Any food that is not raw is not broken down by the body and there is stored as toxins in the body. As far as the semen production goes, you may want to consult a urologist.

[AjokeOlorundare]

hey, I just want to say that what you are doing is AMAZING! I've just been introduced to the raw food diet and I have to say that it makes so much sense! I will definitely be following your journey so keep up the vids!

[letsgetraw]

Thank you. Glad to have you join me!

[stilamour]

Excellent presentation! Great job, I enjoyed it.

[letsgetraw]

Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it.

[martinblubber]

omg this is soooo cool and well explained! I always wondered was raw was all about!

[letsgetraw]

Thanks! Glad it helped.

[moviedude22]

I enjoyed this video - really great stuff!!! :)

[letsgetraw]

Thank you. Glad you liked it.

[drealm]

Could someone clear up a misconception for me, is raw meat part of raw foods philosophy? I've been told this, but doesn't meat need to be cooked? Forgive me if my ignorance offends anyone - I don't know anything about nutrition.

[letsgetraw]

Some people who are raw do in fact eat raw meat. For those who are raw vegan, they do not consume any meat or animal products at all.

[ahmadhamad]

no its not. it is strongly discouraged to eat raw meats. raws meats, even before being cooked, contain many bacterias than can only be removed when cooked. when u eat this raw meat, ur putting these harmful bacterias in your body which can lead to illness or even death

[letsgetraw]

As I stated, SOME people do eat raw meat. RAW VEGANS do not consume any type of animal product. Have you ever heard of steak tartar? And bacteria isn't the only thing that's wrong with meat.

[dhearndon]

Love this video. I try to eat more raw foods.

[letsgetraw]

Thanks - Glad to hear it! Keep up the great work.

[letsgetraw]

You are welcome! Thank you so much for visiting, watching, and commenting.

[tpz29]

awesome video! next time someone ask me why i want to consume a raw food diet I will send them your video. very informational.

[letsgetraw]

Thank you. With us all spreading the word, we can change minds.

[letsgetraw]

Jenni,

Thank you for the lovely comments. They really are appreciated. It really is time for us to WAKE UP! Our lives were not meant for over consumption of anything, except love. Food should be regarded as something that causes us to continue to thrive and live, not cause disease. Love and Peace to you Jenni!

[ayladakora]

Woo hoo!! Loved it. :)

[letsgetraw]

Thanks!
