It Appears A 100% RAW FOOD DIET Is NOT The Way To Go!

Hi guys,

This video is about my findings about a 100% raw food diet and how I am now questioning that is the way to go. It appears it's not the best approach. Watch the video and let me know what you think!

Hi Tim, I've been following all of your reports and suggestions and taking that on. I'm finding a juice raw diet for breakfast and lunch when I can, and it makes me much more alert and able. In the evening we have a relatively normal meal. No more junk foods here or pre-prepared juice. thnaks - Mark

@jamie80744 Sounds like you are doing great Mark. Yes a raw food diet for one or two meals per day is something I would agree with and am basically doing that myself. My cooked meal in the even is vegan as well though. I like a green smoothie for breakfast and either another smoothie or a salad for lunch. Yum! Keep up the good work and thanks for dropping by...

Wow! This is good to know, by chance could you tell us what kind of steamer you use to cook the veggies and/or crock pot you are using for the soups? Thanks :)

@angelic1912 I am just using a regular saucepan with "steamer" section and a lid on top, nothing fancy. Same for the crockpot, it's just got 3 settings off, low, and high! but both work really well. I don't think anything fancy is needed.

100% raw diet is ideal for every creature on the planet including humans who, like other anthropoid primates thrive on a high fruit low fat diet that includes plenty of leafy greens. This diet as explained in Dr. Douglas Graham's book, The 80-10-10 Diet has worked for thousands of people worldwide and is in stark contrast to the high fat gourmet diet promoted by most raw food gurus. If 100% raw isn't for you right now than eat a low fat raw vegan diet including starchy carbs instead of fruit.

@LowFatRawRecipes I don't necessarily agree 100% is the way to go, that was my point in the video. But I do agree that a large percentage of your diet with raw food is of a huge benefit and I low raw foods in general. I have no plans now to go 100% raw. Fruits are very important for you and sorry I do not agree to not use fruit. I do not have a lot of fruit (much more veg than fruit) but their are many benefits to fruit and of course fruit should not be cooked as it's better raw. Cheers

@TheSamJinLifestyle I agree, the truth is somewhere in the middle, and we must remember what works for one person, may not work for everyone.

Hi Tim. It wasn't my intentions to throw a monkey wrench into your 100% raw plan, but it is nice to hear you're educating yourself in order to get the most out of your new lifestyle. As I commented on your last video, I'm about 70% raw, and often look forward to a nice hot bowl of fresh veggie soup. I use it like a comfort food; nothing lifts a persons mood/spirits like something warm in their belly!

I find it incredible that you state this video is about your "findings" and you repeatedly say that you've done "research" and this "research" has shown you... (??huh) that going 100% raw is not the 'heathliest way to go'. For whom?? You seem very concerned w/ having an 'open mind' and being tolerant of all ideas, but you are putting down the raw food lifestyle with what you're saying and the title of your video. (without even giving it a good go!!!) Where in the world is this reserach?

@EverloveMusic yes its the worst of all diets, great for meditation but not great if u want to have a life, its the diet for the dying , those that need to rest n shrink tumours, it will take a healthy person n ruin there health, just look at raw vegans if u can find one, most that say they are either wernet in the past to build there body or are on mixed foods but selling the ''movement'' for a profit, cant blame them, u gotta invent shame or toxicness to get sheeple.

[EverloveMusic]

@sprookafook have you tried a vegan raw diet?

[anonymouslyrics]

I applaud you on the major weight loss. I think raw food is great,but as you stated,you need balance. Some foods are great raw,and some are better cooked. What I've noticed in the western world is that we have things backwards. We tend to focus on the meat first and fruits and veggies last,as a result we fill up on meats and tend to be lacking in the fruits and veggies dept. Think about it for a minute,look at every fast food restaraunt. Whats the primary food on their menu???? meat!
