OK, may I ask a question? There is a lot I am still learning here!

 

If I need to lose weight, do I need to be concerned about the amount

of avocadoes and raw soaked nuts and seeds I eat? I read Dr. Graham

say that a raw diet should be only 10% fat by percent of calories.

Problem is, so many experts, even in living foods, have different

things to say.

If I understand you correctly, I should eat an equal amount of these

three.

I have been eating fruit for breakfast - like the old Fit for Life

book - and vegetables for lunch and supper. I would use soaked nuts

or seeds as a protein source and for the sake of satiety, then I

read Dr. Graham and he says only 10%, like using these foods as a

condiment.

Since adult-onset diabetes is in my family, as well as overweight, I

really want to get my weight down.

 

Thanks!

I do not touch the embryo of any plant, nuts, seeds, grains, fresh

corn, string beans, no seeds. Seeds cloud the mind. What I said about

getting the right mix in your diet came almost verbatim from The

Sunfood Diet Success System by David Wolf. I say almost because in

this book David advocates eating nuts I don't know why. It was

because of him I stopped eating seeds because he said they cloud the

mind, and I found that to be true. Seed eating cultures are always

violent; the only primates that eat seeds are the common chimpanzee

and the orangutan. It has been speculated that this is why

chimpanzees kill and eat a few monkeys, because they are a little

crazy from eating seeds. Anyway this is the first and last book you

will ever need on living foods. If you are serious about living foods

you should get it. Avocadoes are not fattening unless you cook them,

raw fats are not fattening. I eat between 3 and 6 avocadoes every

day. I am 6 foot 1 and weight 150 pounds. You do not need protein;

there is a very good article on the dangers of nuts and protein in

the latest issue of Just Eat An Apple magazine. You can get it at

Sunfood.net volume 2 #1 winter 2002. But if you are still

transitioning to raw foods, don't worry about it, have fun with

recipes and experiments. What we are doing takes a lot of courage,

courage comes from joy. ---Doug

I wonder what the buddha would say about that, eating his one hempseed

a day?

Michele; I was thinking about diabetes go back to my message #1171 on

Stevia. Then you could do a search for stevia plants on line. Also

you can ward off diabetes by eating vegetables high in sulfur. Red

hot peppers, cabbage (when spicy), brussels sprouts, horseradish,

garlic, onions, radish, arugula, mustard leaves, mustard/radish

flowers (very good sulfur source), many wild and domesticated

cruciferous vegetables (including some spicy broccoli and kale). I

will email you an article on sulfur from Just eat an apple magazine

issue #13, by David Wolf.

through . Oh well.
