I'm running into problems with this diet

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I've been a vegetarian for 8 years, and a raw-food eater for about four months.

When I went raw, I stopped eating animal products, even though I had eaten

eggs regularly on my cooked diet. Anyway... I started following a diet like

Doug Graham's, with a high percentage of fruit and vegetables, very little fat,

and no animal products. I felt great, had good energy, but my hair started

falling out and getting dull, and my skin got dry. I also lost too much weight

from not eating enough. I also had a few deficiencies (iron, folate, B12, and

protein) but am not sure if this was a result of the diet itself, the fact that

I

underate, or if the deficiencies developed earlier in my life.

So in response to these things, I started eating more fats from avocados, oils,

and nuts, some steamed leafy greens, and some (boiled) eggs. I felt worse, I

think because I was still eating a lot of sweet fruit, which didn't work in

combination with the fat. I also added a product called " Goatein, " which is

protein extracted at low temperatures from organic goat's milk.

Anyway, I'm really clueless as to what to do now. I do not feel well at all, my

hair is still falling out (but does look shinier) and my energy level is very

low.

I'm really depressed because I do not want to sacrifice my health, but I don't

know what to do to regain it.

I've also started reading all these things by Tom Billings, Chet Day, Stanley

Bass, etc. who used to be raw vegans but now eat animal products because

they ran into health problems. I'm really confused right now. I hear all these

good things about eating a raw vegan diet, but then I hear people who say

that a lot of it is lies and that your health will eventually deteriorate.

Right

now, I'm thinking that I shouldn't be vegan.

Sorry for all that rambling, but I'm really desperate for any support or ideas.

Now to the point: does anyone have any advice for me? Does anyone

include raw eggs or dairy in their diets and find that it works well for them?

I

really don't know what to do. I don't want to eat meat, whether raw or cooked,

but I don't object to eggs or dairy.

 

Thanks in advance,

Preciousspark33, the same kinds of things have happened to me. I lost

30 lbs and didn't feel great. I think it may just be our bodies? What

blood type are you? I'm O and that may be the problem. If I were you,

I wouldn't mess around with raw eggs.

Hi everyone,

I've been a vegetarian for 8 years, and a raw-food eater for about four

months.

When I went raw, I stopped eating animal products, even though I had

eaten

eggs regularly on my cooked diet. Anyway... I started following a diet

like

Doug Graham's, with a high percentage of fruit and vegetables, very

little fat,

and no animal products. I felt great, had good energy, but my hair

started

falling out and getting dull, and my skin got dry. I also lost too much

weight

from not eating enough. I also had a few deficiencies (iron, folate,

B12, and

protein) but am not sure if this was a result of the diet itself, the

fact that I

underate, or if the deficiencies developed earlier in my life.

So in response to these things, I started eating more fats from

avocados, oils,

and nuts, some steamed leafy greens, and some (boiled) eggs. I felt

worse, I

think because I was still eating a lot of sweet fruit, which didn't work

in

combination with the fat. I also added a product called " Goatein, " which

is

protein extracted at low temperatures from organic goat's milk.

Anyway, I'm really clueless as to what to do now. I do not feel well at

all, my

hair is still falling out (but does look shinier) and my energy level is

very low.

I'm really depressed because I do not want to sacrifice my health, but I

don't

know what to do to regain it.

I suspect that most people who get into a mess with a raw diet do so

because they

eat too little green leaves. A pound a day must be a minimum and with

troubles

even more. A good idea to read David Wolfe.

 

Getting depressed should be avoided and the best raw cure is exercise.

Walk briskly

for an hour a day.

Sounds to me as if you are going through an extremely rapid detox. Anything

that I've read suggests that you stick with it. I cannot speak from personal

experience on this however.

Raw eggs are the best way providing they have not been contaminated wihth

salmonella. Salmonella is common in commercial eggerys but extemely rare in

organic free range eggs. Raw gives you Omega 3 and biotin, both are

virtually destroyed from cooked eggs. Also the cholesterol is HDL [good]

and when cooked the cholesterol is oxidized and becomes LDL. [bad].

Eat lots of mixed bean sprouts, and flax seed, sprouted or just cracked.

The Omega 3 will get the skin and hair
