No wonder I was so sick. I was eating pounds of dehydrated zucchini chips in one sitting. Yep popping them in my mouth like popcorn.
Besides the soy sauce, there are some who will add a little bit of flour to their veggies while mixing them with oi…
While I don't eat raw exclusively, I do belong to a CSA (community supported agriculture) and have seasonal, farm-fresh food delivered weekly (for 26 weeks) and find it is the easiest way to eat nutrient-dense foods and be gluten-free without worry.…
Debbie-about eating too much, I deyhdrate just about everthing I can. However, I use most of it for cooking in regular dishes. I do make "fruit chips" that I am now selling as a gf, cf, sf, df snack and people love it. The trick is remembering that…
Protein is in a surprising number of vegetables like spinach and broccoli. Legumes are excellent raw and packed with protein. My other main protein source is nuts. You can also buy raw milk in Oregon, so that's an option, and someplaces still sell r…
I agree with you completely! I have so much respect for those who can work with the raw diet, but I enjoy the process of cooking too much to give it up. It relaxes me. However, I think that cutting processed foods is incredibly important for everyon…
Kayla, stopping processed foods was not as hard as I originally thought. I still go up and down the isles and look to see what is out there. The big thing that made me give up processed foods were the ingredients. They are either loaded with corn or…
Ps. i totally agree with stop trying to replace and start new. i said the same thing to my mom yesturday if I hadnt of developed so many eating problems along with celiac disease I would have never experimented like I do. Celery and carrots with hom…
Ive read a great book "living foods" which was based on raw and clean eating.
I would say I eat 80% raw. I feel so much better when I am able to do this but my problem is sticking with it. I have a goal no processed foods until x-mas. Started this…
I'm not 100% raw, and I've heard that it's really hard on your system if you go all raw all at once. I have not had any trouble with bloating, but I've been slowly cutting cooked foods from my diet. I'm currently about 85% raw and I feel great. I've…
Well, thank you for clearing that up for me. I have wondered before but never asked.
I have to admit that I do not purposly look for organic foods. I am looking into buying a dehydrator though and I grow my own zucchini, squash and herbs (and rhubar…
Jayne, raw food means food that is organically grown and dehydrated, not cooked. This can be fruit, veggies, seeds, grains, meats (think jerky). There is a school of thought that says cooking food destroys the natural order of things. But if you deh…
I tried it. Eating raw did not work for me. I bought the dehydrator, I bought raw foods prepared by a chef. I just consumed way too much and remained terribly bloated.
Check out Tree of Life, Patagonia, AZ. They are a totally raw facility. Dr. Cous…
