  • Can you tell me what book is the one that says that you can eat fruit from 8-12 this might be the book for me. I have been on a raw diet but fruit was not allowed for the first faze of the diet. Thank you Diane

  • where can i buy those books?

  • I live in on the east coast where it get below zero sometimes during winter. Is it still healthy to eat a raw diet in the winter? I lived in southern Cali for a year in experimented with raw foods and I swear I did NOT have any food graving and felt totally full, but when I went to a raw food resturant in N.Y during nov. I feel like I was constantly craving cooked foods. I really really want to go raw. Can I still go completly raw in cold wheather?

  • Do the best you can when you can! At-least have a smoothie or fruit for breakfast the best way to start the day. Have a big huge salad for lunch. By dinner you might be craving warm food. So have organic steamed veggies, potatoes, veggie soup, veggie burger. Get a vegan cookbook and finds some easy recipes to satisfy your cooked craving. You might find with time they go away. The more resist something the more we want it!

  • I think in the winter you shouldn't. Because raw doesnt have much fat and a cup of warm cooked food does help you. I live in Canada and in the winter you can lose weight while eating more, and raw food you'd have to eat all day non stop, to get what you need.

  • Cayenne powder on all your food, eat lots of jalapenos & raw habanero sauce & wasabi, that should warm you.

    I like my eggs raw but idk about eating raw chicken & beef, that's kinda weird! Cavemen invented fire for a reason...

  • Ouuuu... where did you get that fruit basket tower looking thing in your intro? I just started going raw and I need that sooooo badly!

  • I got it at Ross. I saw a really nice one for under 30 bucks at Costco and it is nicer than that one!

  • great stuff. I've been juicing for 20 years way before i got CFS this year. i go 50% raw with my expensive vitamix from costco. i love the super nutritious smoothees it produces with all the fiber intact.

    What do you like to use for protein in the shakes? I use vanilla Biochem ultrafiltered whey protein isolate as it mixes and tastes so good with the rest. Do you think raw food "juicing" directly helps with the mito enzyme dysfunction in CFS? let me know if it has helped you. thanks doll!

  • u dont need all the reasons for eating raw. U just need the reason to not eating cooked ever again. This works so much better if u know the biggest reasons for not eating cooked again.

  • When did you start eating raw?

    Did you see any improvements to your skin, hair etc since you started?

  • Yeah everyone keeps saying I look 23 and I am 34 years old!

  • thanks for this video, this is my second attempt at raw and my last - because its true, research inspires and motivates and reminds me that there is no better way to live!

    One week into it and already dropped 6 lbs - incredible!

  • That's it , Ive watched all ur raw vids

    But Im finally doing it!!!Im excited:]

  • Lol the losers who think you're cute are obviously jacking off to the chubby bitch talking about eating raw food. you suck!

  • good job!!

  • hey everyone, check out the World's Healthiest Foods website whfoods (dot) org... It's a really excellent website about the scientific research behind some of the healthiest fruits and vegetables and seeds, etc. that everybody should be incorporating into their diet to protect against chronic diseases.

  • i think going raw is the best!! i've been raw for 3 months and i feel great. try alissa choen she has great ideas.

  • Wow thank you for doing this! I am 17 and I'm interested in being a raw teen. My mom is totally for it as well, in fact shes more into it than I am lol.

  • Wow ~ You prolly get this a lot but that is one GORGEOUS smile you've got.

    ~I switched to raw foods a couple weeks ago, cut out refined sugars and processed foods and all that. But all I've been eating is fresh raw fruits and veggies and unprocessed beef, turkey, and salmon. Do you have any tips on preparation? Could go for some new flavors around here :P

  • Is raw the same as being a vegetarian?

  • No vegatarians can eat cooked raw means all your food is UNCOOKED

  • Hi Christina

    Have you dried your breads in a dehydrator? If so how did they turn out and what is the texture like. I dont know anyone doing the raw food diet that I can ask your it luv. I have ordered some crackers and chocolate bars from the net so I can at least see if I like the textures of raw food. Hopefully I should get my books in a few weeks had to order them from Amazon. Im in australia Thanks again Luv xxx

  • Raw flat bread for the dehydrator is to DIE for....so much better than traditional bread b/c the ingredients really shine through....my all time fave is Matt amsden onion bread the recipe can b found on gonerawdotcom

  • Great video, I been thinking about getting David Wolfe's book....I think he has such a healthy look....

  • Excellent book. My finance is reading it right now and he is really starting to get it.

  • LOL xxxx

  • Nah girl, I'll just let you do all the research for me while I sit back, relax, and watch you sweat trying to figure out my life and why I need to eat raw! What do you think about that?! LOL! Love ya girl! BOO YA!

  • Alright Biatch I will but only for you!

  • I'm just kidding, but I doubt anyone else knew that but you! Gotta LOVE IT!

  • You look ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS in this video. Your skin color is great. Hair looks wonderful. Ok, I'm listening to your video now. Sorry! LMAO!

  • By the way I joined a gym today and man I'm out of shape! But I'm sooo glad I did it!

  • LOL I had to break up my comment in several sections for some reason youtube is being a butt! and won't let me comment on your page or send you a message so I'm stuck doing it this way.

  • Oh yeah I made a mock icecream. I got strawberries and a banana and I froze them. I blended them in the food processor and added honey to sweeten more and mixed in some almond milk and froze it again for two hours and then GOODNESS! It was sooooo good!

  • yummy!

  • I had soup, but instead of canned I went out and bought fresh veggies and lentils. It's a soup made of tomato's, Onion's, Celery, Lentils, and cauliflour for mock potatos. It's great. I season it with Sea Salt, Lemons and fresh ground pepper. I don't know I guess I just wasn't ready to jump into the RAW way of life 100% yet, but I do plan on sticking with how I'm doing for the rest of my life so I have to learn what works for me.

  • Wow, you can really tell what a difference raw makes! You've always been beautiful but you are literally glowing these days! Keep up the great work!

  • Thank you! I will make a newer video in the AM

  • I started again...I don't think I'm going to be able to go 100% while I'm pregnant, I'd have to take a mortgage out on our house. LOL!!!! But I am looking forward to feeling better and different. I hardly have time to make videos with 4 kiddos but if I realize a big diff. I'll have to make one :0D

  • Have fruit in the morning salads for lunch and eat whatever u want for dinner ..thats affordable & easy ! So glad your feeling the benefits of RAW LIVE FOOD! Good for you !

  • girly. seriously. you have to update more because it is driving me crazy. i know you are really good about it, and do it more than others, but i am addicted! I have been vegan for a long time, and ever since you have been talking about being raw, I eat probably 75% uncooked foods now. I check your page everyday probably about 6 times. Help my compulsiveness and make LONG and frequent videos! love... lauren

  • I love that you post videos so often, it makes my day, they are so inspirational! There is a book called "Happy Yoga" by Steve Ross. The book doesn't have much to do with yoga, but it has a wonderful section on eating raw. This book is also good for mental and spititual help/health in general, and making life better. You are purifying your body, so why not do the same to your mind and soul?, if you aren't already of course. It's a great book, and no, I'm not an advertiser.

  • hey thanx for subscribing, u rock!

  • Great advice. I find people who try to go vegan or raw and are not clear on why do not stay with it and then feel like failures. It sounds like obvious but you really must understand you motivation to get you through the challenging times. Great video

  • Me again

    was that RAWVOLUTION by Matt Amsden? I can only find one book by Alissa Cohen thats Living on Live food.

    Thanks XXX

  • Sage advice...mmmmm.....sage......

  • hey your the sage =)

  • OK, I'll be the sage, you be the spicey. ;)

  • Christina..your videos have had such a great impact on me and going raw. I am no tmissing meat at all, nor dairy..Going on Day 5 now and feeling invincible. I also have done my research on going raw for years now and I'm glad that I finally made this step. You are looking so fresh and healthy girl...

  • Girl I am eating your cucumber salad... so light and refreshing I LOVE IT. I eating a bit light this weekend. I think I got most of my craving met in the last 2 weeks. I am so proud of you for committing to this ...everything is lined up for you to succeed it is soo good MUCH LOVE

  • Glad you like it...(I'll tell mom..lol) I honestly don't even have any cravings yet either...Guess I'm just through with the "old ways". Thanks for the support hun.

  • Brains as well as beauty. A very rare combination in a woman. Especialy here in the west. Sound advice, Novices or beginners, please take note.

  • Kind kind words ...Thank you very much =)

  • Thanks Christina your a great help. I have yet to order some books I was thinking David Wolfs book to get some background knowledge and also Alissa Cohen for good basic recipes what do you think? I need to find an alternative to almond protein cause I LOVE almonds but every time I eat them I get cold sores though I hope this may stop as I get healthier. Thanks again.

  • My first book on RAW was Davids ..I later got Alissa's recipe book I am very happy with both. Interestingly they both have a bit of a different perspective on RAW read them both and decide what works best for you ! Be sure to get the book GREEN for Life an excellent book about the nutritional component of raw.

  • Hi Christina

    I really value your imput greatly. I am ordering green for life(researched it and found it really informative) and raw foods made easy for two people (as it will be for me to start with)from amazon as I am in Australia I was wondering whether I should order RAW Jiliano or keep it simple for the moment as you have read them thought you may have a better idea. I have to get of this bulimia merry go round. I really appreciate your help luv Thanks Alana xx

  • Juliono's book is inspiring and pretty to look at. I have made a few things from his book. The best recipes so far are from Alissa Cohens book and the book Rawvolution Green for life ROCKS! I just ordered raw for 1 or 2 people. I think it will be good. It is hard to go from Bulimai to RAW but it is DOABLE look @ sophiegirl1~

  • Thanks so much for your imput. Bulima- im second generation, mums been there or was there all my life(Shes better now still skinny though) im 41 Ive been there 11 years after I lost 56kgs naturally in 97 I panic ed didnt want to put it back on (I no NUTS isnt it)but every time I eat healthy I relax Im ok Raw puts a whole new perspective on it though Im sensible enough to no that I need to work on me to (mind) Jills great isnt she LOVE HER!!! Thanks Luv xx

  • did anyone here about the "BAD" beef going around in the US? Gosh that just makes me wanna go vegan/raw right now lol! Oh and after i seen your fasting vids i did a fast but i only lasted 3 days lol..now your RAW vids are incouradging me to go vegetarian or maybe raw!

  • Meat has no nutritional value literally. I am saying this from a scientific perspective purely. That is why when someone does pure atkins you go into KETOSIS the same state as when you water fast. Ketosis is a wasting state. If Atkins/Meat was so nutritional it would not put u in a wasting state. Thats fine for water *it is suppose to have no nutritional value * something to ponder =)

  • My workout today was killer. Thinking about it now makes me go "ugh". Keep up your zeal for this. I think it's really great and you seem to be really enjoying the lifestyle change. I'm happy for you.

  • aw thank you ! After I have been raw for 30 days I plan to kick my exercise into HIGH Gear ..I am talking working out twice a day. I Am ready to get my body into PEAK condition...I am never gonna stop not this time ..everything is coming together for me.

  • You make me smile. Don't forget you need rest days too k?

  • LOL No more videos till Monday =)/ and as far as rest goes SUNDAY will be my off day when I start working out. Sunday even feels different then everyday of the week ...the perfect day to rest right?

  • Absolutely. Plus, you'll probably have a day that you just feel wore out and that you can't work out that day and that will be fine. I had one of those this past Wednesday. I hope your weekend is great.

  • This was such a good idea ! Knowledge is power right ? I SO wish I could go RAW , I would be so much healthier for it ! You got it this time tho girl , I think you are going to stick to it just fine !

  • Girl just have fruit in the morning as much as you want and a salad for lunch. That is cheap and easy. Then have a healthy meal. You can go 50 to 70% raw no problem! At least do breakfast all fruit until 12 pm. You will feel better within DAYS!

  • Ya , but here's the thing ...I eat no fruit , and very few veggies ...Its a texture thing , I cant stand them ! I am going to try to buy some fruit next week and make smoothies for breakfast ....As far as salad , Ikk...It always looks and smells SOOO good , but when I take a bite I cant stand it , it actually makes me gag ...I think Im just retarded or something ..lol

  • Girl then you will love Alissa Cohen's book Living on Live food. Gourmet raw food is all about the texture. Thats why I made alot of gourmet raw food this week . All my craving are met now so eating lite this weekend doe not seem like a chore does that make sense?

  • I'm so glad that you talked about doing research. I've been reading, reading, reading, and reading some more; but felt like a colossal freak for doing it. LOL The more I learn, the greater my desire to go raw for life gets. Thank you so much for the great info. Looking forward to the next installment.

  • GIRL some folks hear about raw and convert for life the next day. I KNEW that RAW was 100% right but with an ED it was like a WAR in my mind. Now I have told ED Christina to GET over it ..it is all about HEALTH now.

  • how about protein? any raw protein? :D i need it so

  • The best raw protein is in Raw nuts like Almonds etc.. Also Greens ...kale,romaine lettuce, celery etc... have ALL the Amino Acids you need for protein ,,,thats where cows and gorillas etc ...get there protein from greens NOT meat.

  • i have been wonting to go raw for a loooong time i would say about 1 maybe 2 years...now i am working my way up to 100% beacause thats what i wont...anyways for a lesson thingy could you talk about sprouting ad sprouts im tottally convused...ohh btw your looking so good:]] keep it up i love the food videos where youshare what you have mad its awesome

    love,

    Jenn

  • Hey Jenn By the end of this I will have covered that PLUS alot more ...it will take awhile to cover then essentials of RAW ..I am going to try to do it in a consecutive order. I will definitely cover sprouting when I do the "cooking" part. Thank you for the suggestion

  • i still think fasting is a great thing and the reason why i failed in doing it right was coz i havent done my research,n reasearch also in raw,in anything is the first step!xoxo gud vid

  • Yes exactly !

  • U look amazing ^^ great vid, very informative

    day 8 - bananna, grapes, apple, carrots, mushrooms, organic soy yogert, tofu peicses, toast. Yay i think i am doing quite well.

  • A++++ Bravo! I am going to do ALOT of these videos all labeled Raw 101 look for them they will be separate from my regular blog/recipes vids MUCHO LOVE
