Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 From www.alissacohen.com: The Living & Raw Food Diet " What the raw diet can do for you " Imagine jumping out of bed in the morning feeling totally awake, vibrantly alive, & healthier than you have ever felt before. No pains no ailments, all sickness & disease are gone. Imagine having boundless energy for every moment of the day with a clear mind & a feeling of inner peace & calm. Imagine that you are in the best shape of your life, with a healthy body, & free of any excess weight. This is all possible with the raw food diet I get up early without an alarm clock. I'll continue to get up earlier the longer I stay raw. I feel a certain vibrancy, I can't say I feel all that great yet. My body feels very healthy as far as physical fitness is concerned. I have good energy throughout the day, a lot of detox emotions going on though, they slow me down a bit. I have some inner peace and calm, certainly a lot more than the fear-based, anxiety-ridden emotions while eating cooked. I've lost quite a bit of weight for me and probably have another 10 pounds to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 HI, i am new to the raw foods list, and new to actually practicing the concept as well. I'm sure everyone has heard of fresh spring rolls made with rice paper....is the rice paper usually dehydrated or cooked rice that is dried? i'm kind of confused as to if this would be considered a partially raw food (the entire spring roll), or not really at all. sorry if this is a stupid question!!! -angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Hi Angel, I hate to be a butinski, but I have two cents worth of opinion on everything. First, welcome to the list. Second, in answer to your question (and, of course, you know there is rarely a stupid question), I don't know. That would take some research, maybe some google information, that would be too difficult for me to do. I doubt if many commercial items are dehydrated. Unless it's specifically known to be raw, it's probably cooked as far as the vast majority of oral intake items is concerned. My philosophy is, when in doubt leave it out. Not an easy philosophy to live up to, it's much more fun to experiment with every possible thing. I have to say, I don't eat rice paper. And, sorry, there's no such thing as partially raw food, well there is, but it's not raw. Not that everyone here follows an all raw diet, many don't. Well, I've rambled on enough, I hope you get a real answer to your question. rawfood , angel A <catgrrl809> wrote: > > HI, > i am new to the raw foods list, and new to actually practicing the concept as well. > I'm sure everyone has heard of fresh spring rolls made with rice paper....is the rice paper usually dehydrated or cooked rice that is dried? i'm kind of confused as to if this would be considered a partially raw food (the entire spring roll), or not really at all. > sorry if this is a stupid question!!! > -angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Hi Angela, Welcome to the list, and to raw foods. In answer to your question, no the rice paper is not raw. It is a cooked product. However, as you are just starting out, I see nothing wrong with using these as a wrapper for fresh, raw veggies. If you need more info on how to prepare spring rolls, I can give more instructions. Have fun with introducing more and more fresh, raw foods into your diet, and don't be too concerned with the various " rules " at this point. The important thing is to eat more raw! You can worry about the particulars later. Keep asking questions, though, as this is the only way to learn.
