Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Eat plenty of fruits. Try eating bananas, dates etc. Some fruit carry more carbohydrates and less water. The watery fruit you'll need to eat much more of to get your fill of carbs. You'll have to eat quite a bit of fruit to supply your carbohydrate needs. But you won't need to drink 8 to 12 glasses of water per day. To Your Radiant Health and Happiness, Roger Haeske Have you tried the Raw Diet many times but failed to stick with it?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 > Is it possible to not get enough carbs on a raw diet? - NO! The body does not require carbohydrate. It can burn fat for fuel and build with protein. HOWEVER, the body requires several essential nutrients that can only be supplied by carbohydrate containing foods. So if you eat the right nutrients you will have more than ample carbs in your diet. All raw fruits and vegetables contain carbohydrates. But be sure to get enought of the RIGHT fats. Do your research studies for " Omega 3 " , monounsaturated, and HDL. And study the balance required between Omega 3 and Omega 6 EFAs. rusty - " mavalkyrie " <mavalkyrie <rawfood > Friday, September 19, 2003 5:54 PM [Raw Food] Re: carbohydrates > Is it possible to not get enough carbs on a raw diet? > > > rawfood , free_16th <free_16th> wrote: > > How can one make sure to eat enough carbohydrates when one eats > only raw food?

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 You know I have not been impressed with Mr. Mercola in a long time. And it looks like the trend stands. I can't believe a Dr. would recommend taking vitamin C tablets rather than actually eating foods that have vitamin C. That in my opinion is ridiculous. I also don't believe that we don't need ANY carbs at all. So we are supposed to eat just fat and protein, that is as stupid as not eating any carbs or taking pills to get vitamin C. You can believe what you want but I do not agree, I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. There comes a point when one needs to listen to your heart and intuition no matter what studies say. Besides I can find tons of studies that say eating just protein and fat is extremely unhealthy. http://www.atkinsdietalert.org/ Monte rawfood , " Rusty " <rustym@p...> wrote: > > I dissagree, the body Does require carbs, they are our main source of > > fuel. > > > > Monte. > - > A couple of Doctors skilled in insulin resistance conditions disagree with > your disagreement.. > http://www.mercola.com/2001/jul/14/insulin3.htm > Scroll down to the paragraph starting, DIET. > - > rusty > - > " mavalkyrie " <mavalkyrie> > <rawfood > > Saturday, September 20, 2003 5:05 PM > [Raw Food] Re: carbohydrates > > > > I dissagree, the body Does require carbs, they are our main source of > > fuel. > > > > Monte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Monte, You strike a note with me. Firstly when I first went raw I did start to feel the cold a lot in winter and my response was to increase the intake of fruit to get the heat. Over the months with this forum, I have shifted to a low fat diet. The proteins from vegetables, although rich are not that high. Thus if I followed a low carb diet with my low protein diet and low fat diet... ...I think the cold would return.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 That whole insulin area is extremely important... I just got the Syndrome X book, and it pretty well lays everything out. Mercola is very good, lots of info, and I'm over over at his web site every day reading about something. It's become a ritual.

Yes he pushes grass fed beef etc. But if you want to throw the baby out with the bathwater and chose not to believe Dr. Rosedale because mercola agrees with him, them go here instead and get other Doctor's approaches: http://www.syndrome-x.com/ rusty - " ky_wendylynn " <ky_wendylynn <rawfood > Saturday, September 20, 2003 11:13 PM Re: [Raw Food] Re: carbohydrates > Doesn't Dr. Mercola also push meat eating?

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 I heard someone talking once about warming foods and cooling foods, I can't remember which were which, but I do remember citrus are considering cooling foods therefore should not be eaten in great numbers in winter. My guess would be that the warming foods were probably higher in protein and or fat. We all have to find our balance for our bodies, and I imagine most of us are a little different although there are probably more than a few similarities in our ideal nutrition plans.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Thank you for posting this article Rusty, it's very interesting. I went to Slimming World for many years a while ago, I'm not sure if you have this Weight Watchers type class in the states. Basically, they run two plans, an Atkins type regime for the meat eaters and a carbohydrate type diet for the veggies. We were told that we could eat as much pasta, rice, potatoes etc as we cared for and, in fact, the more of these foods we could eat, the more weight we would lose. I wonder how much money I handed over in the fruitless years of misery I spent going there and came away exactly the same weight, but with a carbohydrate adiction that it's taken me even mor yeyars to shake off. I haven't given up carbs all together, but these days a piece of bread or a couple of potatoes make up a tiny preportion of my meal and not even every day. I can't tell you how much better I feel, I'm like a new person and the effects started almost immediately. I did try and do without all together, but found this didn't suit. At one time I could eat a whole loaf of bread in a day, or sit down to a plate with 2 lbs of oven chips on for my tea, because I thought it was healthy. These diet classes hould really be put out of business IMHO.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 I actually read the book Syndrome-X and implemented most of the suggestions. As a result I have not only reversed diabetes and gotten off Actos but also regained circulation in my feet. I could only wear one pair of shoes (SAS) and those with great pain. Now I can wear all my shoes, even the tight pointed toe ones ). I cannot attribute this to anything else I did other than the suggestions in the book. Now I am vegan, mostly raw, which has subsequently raised my energy level but at that point I was eating some grass-fed, organic animal protein. This was about 2 years ago. My blood sugar is now perfect. Hope this helps for anyone suffering from this. stxgrrl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Protein, fat, and carbohydrates are called MACRONUTRIENTS. Vitamins and minerals are referred to as 'micronutrients.' ALL PLANT FOODS are a mixture of protein, fat, and carbohydrate (THE MACRONUTRIENTS). Even a banana contains about 3.5 percent protein, almost the same as mother's milk. Fruit and starchy vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, corn, carrots, and butternut squash, are predominantly carbohydrate but also contain some fat and protein. Green vegetables are about half protein, a quarter carbohydrate, and a quarter fat. One of the principles behind eating raw vegan is not to be overly concerned about the MACRONUTRIENT balance because you will automatically get enough of all three MACRONUTRIENTS... So don't fear eating foods rich in carbohydrates and don't be afraid of eating fruit, because it contains sugar. Even the PLANT FOODS that are high in carbohydrate contain sufficient fiber and nutrients and are low enough in calories to be considered nutritious. As long as they are UNREFINED, they should not be excluded from your diet. In fact, it is impossible to glean all the nutrients needed for OPTIMAL health if your diet does not contain lots of carbohydrate-rich food. I learned about this from the book " Eat to Live " (a vegan program that includes cooked food like Hallelujah Diet) by Dr. Joel Fuhrman.
