Hot off the press

[Guest guest]

Hey guys I just got " Raw Secrets: The Raw Vegan Diet in the Real

World " by Frederic Patenaude. Hot off the press. I bought if before

it was released and got it early. Anyway Frederic is right in line

with what we are talking about here, the evils of to much raw

fat. " Because of the complexity, fatty foods, along with protein, are

the most difficult foods to digest. It has been shown that a drop of

oil retards digestion for two hours. Some fat is necessary, but too

much even in a whole food like avocado, will make you tired and

toxic. " He says if you keep a low fat diet you can detoxify in 8

months rather than the 1 month for every year of your age that every

one else talks about.

 

I hate to sound like the poster boy for this book but it is quite

shocking to find out that I have been raw for over 3 years and have

been doing it wrong all that time. " Some people are damaging their

health by eating the raw diet incorrectly, mostly, this is because

the received poor or confusing advice. This book is my antidote to

the false information that is being spread in the raw food movement,

hurting people as it goes. This is the book I wish someone had handed

to me six years ago when I started out on this path. " Frederic

Patenaude.

 

He also quotes Douglas Graham; " The high-fat, raw-food diet is a

recipe for failure, both in regards to health and to staying all raw.

Utilizing the high-fruit diet is the ideal, logical and healthful

method for achieving the low-fat, high-carb diet that every health

practitioner on the planet recommends. "

 

The only fat I have eaten for a long time has been avocadoes, the

only times I have felt really great (paradise health) was when I ran

out of avocadoes. Somehow I never associated the two. As far as

hypoglycemia, very few people are not hypoglycemic. Estimates run as

high as 250,000,000,000 Americans are hypoglycemic, which means all

Americans are hypoglycemic except the diabetics.

Hi Doug,

 

It sounds like an interesting book. I'm impressed with your honesty as

well.

 

Here in New York there was a lot of controversy amongst the raw foodists

about Dr. Graham's theories. Some people just don't want to change. They

also didn't really understand what he was saying. They couldn't grasp

how to replace the excess fat with more calories from fruit.

 

I'm not going to say who is right, but I do know what is working best

for me at this point. Definitely getting the fat levels down is

important. How much fruit to eat I just have to follow my body.

 

Ok Doug, please let us know what happens as you lower the percentage of

fat in your diet. I'll be checking out that book now. By the way it

sounds like Frederic Patenaude is going away from David Wolfe's

recommendations. David's diet recommendations are quite high in fat

percentage. Does Frederic still work for David Wolfe?

 

I'll be checking out his book now.

 

Thanks again for your post, Roger

Wow Doug,

 

I just went to the Just Eat An Apple website and read a fantastic

article on this whole issue about the fats. I hope everyone reads it.

Very interesting.

I second everything Doug said about " The Raw Secrets " ! I also pre-ordered the

book, and received it last week- I'm on my third time through. The info Frederic

shares and exposes is so enlightening. I've made dramatic changes already, and

I'm SOOO excited about reaching new heights with raw!!! I was stuck on nuts and

dried fruit, and yes, raw bingeing, but now all that has changed! I now

understand how I can achieve true success, and escape the common pitfalls of the

raw diet. Awesome book; check it out!

Frederic Patenaude seems to have made a complete departure from

David Wolf. He says when he read " Natures First Law " he saved up some

money and bought a bus ticket for San Diego. In California, although

trying to maintain an air of balance and enthusiasm his health was

slowly going downhill. " I thought I was going through detox and that

this would stop one day, that I would finally feel " paradise health. "

Unfortunately, that day never came. The " detox " was never-ending. "

 

" I was trying to figure out why this wasn't really working for me,

the way it was supposed to, according to the books. And I was not

alone, I was meeting a lot of other people going through the same

thing. But clouded by the ideal of raw-foodism, we wouldn't admit to

ourselves what was going on. "

 

" I have met all sorts of people doing this diet, from the sensible to

the fanatical and everything in-between. Some of them looked really

healthy, while other looked like they had just escaped from a death

camp. I met some people who ate what they called a raw diet for many

years and then went back to bread and meat. Others who had sworn in

the name of raw that they'd never go back to cooked eating were

latter found enjoying hot bean burritos without a sign of guilt. How

did this happen? "

 

I am no longer enamored by David Wolf although I still consider his

books to be a valuable addition to anyone's library. They do contain

a lot of misinformation. But most raw food books contain a lot of

misinformation. We just need to educate ourselves enough to discern

the good from the bad.

 

I found a way to except avocadoes from my friends and not eat them,

my dogs get them who, by the way are mostly raw and vegan. I cannot

justify the killing of animals to feed my dogs.

 

Roger; you asked how I was doing on a low fat diet. Well the bin is

full of avocadoes and I'm on my way to the store to buy bananas.

Hi Doug,

 

Thanks for that quote from Frederick. I agree with his statement about

some people suffering on the raw diet. Now I know where he stands.

 

The big question is what is detox and what is really just doing the diet

incorrectly.

 

Eat up on those bananas.

 

Mahalo, or something like that, Roger Haeske
