I could listen to Victoria for hours ... This information is so enlightening and so informative. How I wish I would have discovered this when my baby was born. He's 3 yrs old now, better late than never.

Wow, I saw this video 40 days and 20 pounds ago. I'm eating as much as I can, and I'm never hungry. I'm lovin it! Thank you Victoria.

I hear you. Such a shame humans don't take as much notice in the good nature offers as they could or should!

Raw food = nature = patent.

Advertisers don't have a patent on nature.

Nature is smart.

p.s, maybe I'll increase raw after my kid's grow up, or maybe when they learn to love their veggies more :) For now though, I do love to eat with the family, and my kid's are practically vegan, meaning we can eat atleast some food as a family :)

Sure, I do sometimes. Some days I might have a rice noodle day too though ;) Love them with loads of salad/spices and lime juice (Thai like!) and some tofu or beans. I think most raw 'nazi's' stick to their routine, though I read that Shazzie had some cooked food at Christmas a year or two (?) ago in her recent book 'Evie's kitchen', and she is about as raw as they come ;) Maybe I eat more raw than I think if I consider it via mass? The 'volume' on my plate is about 50/50, so maybe I eat more

I don't know, but it seems to me you eat more than 50% raw; way more. Overall, you are conscientious about your health, which is the key thing. Do you think you'll ever go to, let's say, 90+% raw?Asking again, do you think that public, raw figures are always 100% raw, or is it possible that have their moments as well?

Just wondering.

Because I have a large family, I fit in better at the moment. I would usually eat sprouted quinoa, though a tad crunchy. Loved my seed pate's which I still make alot of. I'm sure everybody has their moments? I don't eat cooked grain that often. I craved an avocado salad like mad tonight, and usually substitute grain with just steamed brocolli/asparagus, which is just more satiating when steamed (for me!). I did consume ALOT of cold pressed oils when totally raw...I actually put weight ON!

Wouldn't u say just to maintain a healthy, alternative diet is expensive?I've tried raw off and on, and I think overall, I feel better raw.Why brown rice?Why not wild?How do you think the public devotees are able to maintain raw?Do you think maybe, this is just presentation, & they may have their "moments"?What would you have eaten in lieu of the cooked grain you now consume?

100% for around a year, but it staggered towards the end into 80%, then to 60%, and now to 50%. I also missed cooked quite abit, because I found munching on cold food abit boring. I used to warm things in bowls of hot water, but it was tedious really, and was never as warm as I wanted it to be. My 50% raw is easy to maintain because it's all salad. I'll have two meals a day now: 60% cooked grain (like quinoa or brown rice) and 40% salad/raw veg, and my snacking is always raw veg/fruit/nuts
