Guest guest Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hello! Congratulations on discovering raw and your success so far!! That is amazing! Good for you! The nuts may very well be causing the problem, many people find them difficult to digest. You should be careful to not combine them with fruit, they combine best with veggies and greens. You might want try soaking them before hand to see if that helps. Also, if you are eating a lot of difficult to digest vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, tough greens like kale and collards, etc, you might want to cut way back on those and focus on tender greens that are easier to digest like lettuces and baby spinach. Wishing you all the best!

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 --Thanks for the tip. I am guilty of mixing the nuts with fruit (apples,pears,watermelon,raisons,and sultans since i started eating the nuts never by themselves or soaked. Also big on Kale and Carrots so will make the change. Thinking of cutting out the nuts for a while though. Too addictive for me at the moment. But have started the apple cleanse for 3 days who knows what that will bring. Chears and thanks for the info.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I had similar probs w gas & bloating on nuts & seeds --- i rarely eat them any more. So I'd tend to think that you are correct -- I'm not a Dr. Apples tho -- I'd rather hear that you tried a banana day or week! If you haven't studied low fat Raw, please look into it for your health. Apples have a lot of pectin etc and are more difficult for us humans to digest on a regular basis. I eat them now & then - everyday or the only food can give some of us other issues - esp IBS ppl. (typing w 1 arm in a sling today - hope there aren't too mny typos) Simply, Lesa btw: I've let go of 120#s w/ raw lifestyle! Experience to share, just ask.

First off, you are NOT GUILTY! If you are eating raw, what could be wrong with that? There are a number of " theories " out there, but the first one is EAT RAW. Start there. FEEL POSITIVE. >Also big on Kale and Carrots so will make the change. What change do you have to make from kale and carrots? Who has told you you cannot combine these two? What is the reasoning? Try reading Herbert M. Shelton's _Food Combining Made Easy_, or the simple chart in Ann Wigmore's recipe book (see the list database for the name). You can eat carrots and kale together, no sweat. I've been doing it for years... I started out with Wigmore, and later read Shelton. To tell you the truth... and many people will revile me here... if you are eating raw... that is the most important thing. What you eat will tell you what to eat. Sometimes you will eat something that doesn't work for you... you might think... oh... this raw thing is stupid, or for the birds. Actually, when something doesn't work, you should just not do that again. It is all experimental/experiential. There are all sorts of " experts " , and " gurus " out there, who are " re-interpreting " what has already been done. Eat and see what works for you. If you are committed to the idea of raw and something is sending you back to cooked, examine it.. what is it? what is it you want? find the way to what you want. for example: sometimes you might eat something that is perfectly good according to whatever you know, but you are CRAVING something you used to eat... what was the factor in that? ex: I do a green drink in the morning... sometimes I positively CRAVE the old egg sandwich... what is missing? protein? no... my shake has that... I'm missing OIL... add in a T of flax oil. I'm good to go the next time. What can I do in the meantime? Oh Lord -- where can I find an avocado in 15 minutes????? I will just have to wait... SOLUTION... put flax oil in the stupid shake in the morning, and be done with it... If I am eating raw, high fat is not an issue. If I just can't get over that high fat business, then, fooey! I will add 3 T ground flax seed, so I am getting protein AND the fat that is causing me the problem.... Margaret Thinking of cutting out the nuts for a while > though.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 The theory behind food mixing has to do with the amount of time that different types of food take to digest. For instance, different types of fruit take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, while meat and protein can take 4-8 hours to digest. By properly combining foods, you eliminate the need for using excess digestive energy. This is also important because if you mix foods inproperly, fruit, for example, will ferment in your digestive system because they are being held in your stomach with food that takes longer to digest than they would otherwise. This can cause gas, bloating, pain, etc. In the book The Raw Food Detox Diet, Natalia Rose states that one of the benefits to eating raw is the substantially less amount of time it takes to digest raw produce versus cooked food, especially meat. As someone who is not vegan- or vegetarian for that matter- this idea appealed to me much more than the argument that eating meat is unnatural and inhumane. I have since read several other books which contain more in-depth information about how long different types of food take to digest. While I haven't been overly conscious about properly combining food, I try to make sure that I eat fruit separately from other foods. This is the excuse I give myself to be able to nibble of fruit all morning long as I feel hungry or tired. Jenn rawfood , Shay Butter <sheabuddah wrote: > > isnt it all science?
