Any raw food dieters here?

In the past 5 years, I have gone from a red meat, pork, fried foods, transfat eating, non-aware of ingredients type of guy to a close to vegetarian (I eat chick or fish 2 times a week - but that will be zero soon).

 

I am sold that a raw food veggie, grain, and nuts diet is the gold standard - but just not sure I could pull that off.

 

Anyone here do it - and if so - your impressions and personal experience?

 

Yes

It is supposedly good for you. 

Are u bollemic?

 

 

Now I get it

 

Are you talking about raw "everything" or just raw stuff.

 

 

Raw "stuff" is good ....

 

 

ps

stuff = plant life

 

I saw there were 4 responses in the first few minutes and thought "holy shit there are a lot of people in the food forum".

 

I should have known it was 4 posts from Friedshrimp.

 

Im talking about raw veggies, fruits, grains and nuts.  Thats it.  Thats the whole diet.  Im not bulemic.  I dont preach to others about how they should eat.  I just know what works for me - and I feel better now than I have my whole life - and I just want to keep that going.

 

I dont think I could pull off this diet longterm, but I am intrigued in the same way a 5k runner looks at a marathon.

 

Raw "Everything"

 

Nah, humans are "omnivorous" which means meat first, plants later.

 

 

Okay, parts of that would definately be considered a gold standard.....

I think NJ DEVILS is a Vegetarian..

 

I dated a Vegan... but I like Chicken, Veal, Turkey, and SEafood like Shrimp, Crab, Salmon..

.... He's not talking about vegetarian.... he's talking about "RAW"....

 

 

vegetarians are stupid, but the "RAW" thing has some potential.

 

Prepare yourself for a lot of egg whites, 48 gr worth, which the body requires on a daily basis, or a soy supplement. Keep track of your protien count..

If going back to cavemen days, don't forget that they also ate bugs and insects.

 

 

This kind of diet would make me look like one of the people in the holocaust camps. No thanks.

 

 

A raw vegan,  no bread or beans is the worst.  But, yes it can be healthy.  Where are your bb picks, thanks.  Besides the Rangers and the Reds.

it is good for you...check out the article called

 

The Age of Nutritionism from the New York Times Magazine in 2007...great read.

 

I just dont know without a ton of protein how well it would go. Outside of the nuts section, where is the protein really coming from? What are your goals? If you are in the gym etc, and lifting weights and what not..not sure you can get by without at least a little skinless chicken or fish
