"Raw Food" Episode 41 - Jenna In The Jungle - Fat Is Good (Raw Food)

Raw Food: In this episode of "Jenna in the Jungle" Jenna Norwood learns about the very diverse macadamia nut; a decadent, high-fat raw food. Did you know that the macadamia nut is native to Australia and has only been grown in Hawaii since the early 1900's? It has many names including Queensland nut, bush nut, and bauple nut, just to name a few. The Mac is a very nutritious nut, high in both good fats (monosaturated) and protein, among many other nutritional aspects. Learn about healthy vegan sources of fat and Omegas 3 and 6. There are a lot of delicious recipes that can be made with the Mac nut, including a Super Duper Raw Chocolate Fudge, demonstrated in Episode 37.

I would also say that a raw diet that is healthful for one may not be so for someone else. Dr. Doug Graham advocates lots of fruits some veges and very little nuts and seeds. I believe his diet would help almost everyone short term but, it's the long term I'm wondering about. Dr. Peter D'Adamo advocates a diet based on our inherited blood type and includes in varying types and amounts on your specific blood type. Some Type of nuts are harmful to some but not others. Should this be considered?

@fitzgeraldhimse I generally agree with you on this however, I wonder if at certain times of the year, it's okay for some people to eat more than Dr. Doug Graham would say is beneficial as long as during the rest of the year nut and seed consumption is very little, thus balancing out for the whole year. I think Doug may have talked about this as well.

@topstot You r right in one sense only. And that's that nuts are concentrated fat like dry fruit is concentrated sugar neither of which should be eaten frequently unless your talking about very small amounts and that goes for all fats, even healthy fats from nuts, seed, avocados and oils.

@fitzgeraldhimse I don't understand that logic. We have no qualms using cell phones, computers, airplanes, electricty. Why not a nut cracker?

your diet will leave you fine almost no matter what you eat, IF you don't screw with it too much first. i personally love my food and i love to feel FULL. this has led to my very large tummy. recently i have switched to a low calorie density diet, focusing as much as i can of vegies (not a vegan tho) and i'm now always FULL and losing weight FAST. bean and vegi stew FTW.

the fat in these nuts is high but the effort to open them self limits your eating. don't buy shelled nuts.
