Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hi, Am not 100 percent raw. Am I one the wrong list? Actually am brand spanking new to 100% vegan (ala the Hallelujah diet) and am looking for more information (preferably without the questionable theological foundation and a few other oddities, like " no pepper " " no peanuts " or at least reasonable explanations as to why not). AND my big question is it appears that juicing is de rigour and I'm clueless about which machine - Green Power????? (not a wheatgrass gal.....yet but definitely fruits and vegetables.....no pasta and no mochi? ...uh don't even know what that is :-) Signed up here because we're moving to Bellingham, WA and am thrilled, delighted, excited that as a budding vegan there appears to be a community of support for this. YEAH!! all replies appreciated, Lynn aka well trained monkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hi Lynn, I discovered raw vegan food just this year. I am not 100% raw and may never be 100% but I am definately going for 80%. . If you only get one new appliance I recommend Vita Mix if you can afford it. (about $350 ...Vitamix 500 variable speed best.) I use mine every day and make quick easy green smoothies and purees, deserts. Raw greens are really important. Victoria Boutenko's book Green For Life explains why. http://www.rawfamily.com/ (raw greens with a little banana or apple very simple and tastes good, and very easy quick to whiz clean the vitamix. For me It makes doing this doable.) I don't know what mochi is either. anyone? Terri welltrainedmonkey wrote: Hi, Am not 100 percent raw. Am I one the wrong list?

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 >Hi Terri, Thanks for the weblink <http://www.rawfamily.com/>http://www.rawfamily.com/ and the advice about Vita Mix. I think I can squeak out $350. I'm aiming for 85% raw ....who knows I may go 100% once I get over the detox and the gnawing hunger (feels like eating Chinese.....need to refuel every couple of hours :-). lynn >Hi Lynn, >I discovered raw vegan food just this year.

Looks like they include a limited amount of diary, which is of course evil - glad to see that you're 100% vegan. > foundation and a few other oddities, like " no pepper " " no peanuts " > I poked around and couldn't find rationale regarding black pepper. Peanuts might be because of the aflatoxin scare. IIRC, T. Colin Campbell in The China Study indicates that aflatoxin is potentiated by animal protein, so I wouldn't worry about it. > AND my big question is it appears that juicing is de rigeur > It's popular, for sure. I'm one of those who figures that eating whole fruit is better than just squeezing liquid out of them, and would rather make a smoothie in my K-Tec. If I had a juicer, about all I'd use it for would be ginger. > gal.....yet but definitely fruits and vegetables.....no pasta and no > mochi? ...uh don't even know what that is :-) > Mochi AFAIK is a sort of rice cake that you buy refrigerated and bake. I've seen it at PCC. > Signed up here because we're moving to Bellingham, WA and am > thrilled, delighted, excited that as a budding vegan there appears to > be a community of support for this.

I think we have at least one other list member who lives in that area, and I personally know another who's vegan and part-raw. http://www.vegseattle.com might be of interest to you.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 As a Hallelujah Acres Health Minister I can tell you we do NOT advocate the use of dairy. Don't know where you are seeing that, but I never saw dairy when I was there, never ate dairy when I was there and there is no dairy in Rhonda's cookbook (at least the original version I have). Where did you see dairy? Shari Viger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a juicer, about >all I'd use it for would be ginger. WTM: I agree...I'd rather have the whole thing, too, but I think the Hallelujah diet is not only 100% vegan but also a healing diet? There is no dairy at all and no soy (have read some less then wonderful things about soy so I don't go near it) Have heard some phenomenal healing stories with the diet but I suspect that anyone that goes vegan/raw will have reports of how it's helped them health wise. The plan is to stick with their rules while continuing to study & learn as much as I can and make an informed decision about whether I continue with their rule book :-) :-) >Anthony: There certainly, in the greater Seattle area at least.

There is no dairy at all Upon re-reading that web page I guess that's probably what they meant, but the way it's written I interpreted it differently the first time. > and no soy (have read some less then > wonderful things about soy so I don't go near it) I've read conflicting reports on that. My current understanding is that the phytoestrogen thing et al are likely only issues with really heavy consumption. One of the things I've done since since investigating the raw food concept has been to markedly decrease my intake of faux meats (some of which though aren't soy-heavy). >> <http://www.vegseattle.com>http://www.vegseattle.com might be of >> interest to you. > WTM:Thanks very much for your post, the web link and the blurb about > your K-Tec (I'll take that as a recommendation You bet. I like my K-Tec - the carafe seems to be easier to work with than the Vita-Mix ones I've seen. Being able to push the button and walk away is nice too.
