Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 hi, everyone. just thought i'd update. i've been silent for some time, though on here for several years. when i joined a while back i was attempting 100% raw. it went well for a while, but then went badly over and over again. i've also been struggling with my weight for the last few years, but that followed much the same path as the 100% raw ideal -- i did a great job for about a month each time and then slid into bingeing until i was back where i started. ditto my drinking, which is not considered a " real problem " by people, but was beginning to bother me. so, here's my new year's non-resolution. more raw, more exercise, less nasty fried animals, and less nasty greasy non-animals (though i have been increasing my yogurt intake). and very little alcohol. i hope to decrease the nasties while increasing the goodies and get to where i wanted to go all along. hopefully slow and steady wins the race. --Nicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hi, Elaine -- Quite a bit, though I suspect in some cases I read books that were not right for me. In fact, I have a selection of my raw books up on half.com, because some of them in retrospect seem like a waste of money. naming no names, but most of the ones with cheesy photoshopped covers and outlandish promises are out at the curb, so to speak. (i don't deny that some of these may be positive for others, but i was not particularly open to some of them -- still am not.) i have kept about half the books i bought originally and have been gradually adding others. I think the problem was/is more one of expectations and rigidity. I tried to force myself to make lasting and drastic changes, and I don't really have the willpower for it because such a change seems like a temporary diet. in times of stress, or times when i can't prep my own food, my newfound positive habits fall by the wayside. this time around i am going more for a lifestyle change which will be slow and sustained. To that end, I'm making small improvements. I bought a horse a while back, and we eat together. and when we eat, i eat fruit. i have a salad with dinner, with the salad gadually growing and dinner gradually shrinking. i have added several meals to the roster (whereas i previously ate twice at most during a day), most of which consist of fruit. slow changes, hopefully generating steady improvement. walking or biking to work every day, seeing the horse at least 3 days a week, and playing racquetball. --Nicki rawfood , " E.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Nicki, Would you consider taking an AA approach to your alcohol problem? Your food problem? By that I mean entire abstinence rather than fighting to control them each day. Saint Francis said, " Entire abstinence is easier than perfect moderation. " I think Bill W. and the members of AA would agree with that also. I certainly do!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Thank you for responding, Ron. I am not willing to consider AA with regard to alcohol. My problem is very situational and exists only in highly social settings where people are provide me drinks and might be offended if i did not take them. Nevertheless, there are settings where it is to my advantage to drink wisely. So I have set an acceptable alcohol limit on those occasions, and am doing well at staying within the limits. i've also considered pulling LBJ's trick when in alcohol-related business settings, but we'll have to see if that is necessary or desirable (as it's definitely sneaky). as for food, how would i go 100% with it? any suggestions? --Nicki rawfood , " rlmftw " <rlmftw> wrote: > > Nicki, > > Would you consider taking an AA approach to your alcohol problem? > Your food problem?

(I'm a guitar player) I have found it very helpful to include raw blended soups. I used to feel that if all my food was provided for me I could stay raw easier and that it just took to much time to cut up veggies and stuff. I recently start putting all the things I want to consume in a blender and adding water then blending. It is like creamy soup. I usually go with Kale, Squash, a Carrot, an Avocado, Bellpepper, and water. Blend and eat sometimes I throw a handful of sprouts in or hand full of nuts I start all my days with blended fruit and water and put a few leaves of kale in. Like now it is 8:14 AM, I am having banana, pear, apple, mango, kale, and water blended. I don't usually mix fruits with veg but greens mix well with anything in the eve if I'm hungry I have a handful of nuts, its best to soak most nuts for a few hours though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Did you know Donald Trump does not drink alcohol at all? Ever? If anyone had an excuse of social situations insisting on alcohol consumption it would be him. I think if you really did not want to drink you wouldn't, it is just as easy to order a mineral water with a lime as a gin and tonic. You will stay clear headed and take steps to free yourself from using a substance that does nothing to improve your health, happiness and general well being. I really can't imagine anyone would be truly offended by your decision to abstain. To me it is the same as being a vegetarian, if I am offered a food having meat, fish or eggs I simply say " No thank you " . It works just as well for alcohol. To me the heart of the matter is the decision one makes - " what is for my highest good? " , then all other decisions fall into place more easily. Good luck Nikki, I know this is not easy. As for going 100% raw, why bother until you ready to make a more concerted effort to a healthy lifestyle? Or maybe they go together, do one and the next will follow. I took a series of classes on raw food prep that really got me started into it, then I bought a few cookbooks and have friends who practice it. They taught me more and also ways to make it practical.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 " I like this approach <http://eatsprouts.com/diet.html> http://eatsprouts.com/diet.html " Thank you for sharing this. I read the whole thing. It is positive and motivational. I will bookmark this page for times when I am questioning this diet. This quote from Gabriel Cousens was especially helpful for me to see: " I cannot emphasize enough that there is NO scientific evidence that human beings of any physiological pattern have a minimum daily requirement of animal foods. ... animal food is the surest way of leaving 'the health zone' for 'the hospital zone' as epidemiological studies for cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other degenerative diseases attest. " I had an acupuncturist tell me I needed some kind of animal food if I didn't want to degenerate in old age. Even after being a vegetarian for over 20 years and vegan for 2-3, her advice shook me a little. Reading the above really helped calm my fears.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hi Jennifer, TCM practitioners also do not generally believe a large quantity of raw food is good for you either. Everybody has such differing beliefs on food, to say the least. But you knew that already TCMs think cold foods are to be avoided - which is why you always get a pot of hot tea to start the meal in Chinese restaurants. I certainly have to agree with Cousens on the use of animal foods as being unhealthy. Evidence appears regularly that these foods make for such acidic conditions that are conducive to a host of degenerative diseases. Avoided and healed by a mostly raw diet. Isn't that wonderful?

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 In his first book, Spiritual Nutrition and The Rainbow Diet (1986) Dr. Cousens points out: " The key is to find the diet that best supports the flow of spiritual energy in our system, and at the same time supports our function in the world. " Rich: That would be a simple, raw diet. Experienced rawfoodist Jinjee – e-mail info – wrote in Rhio's newsletter of September 2004: " My friend believes that the raw vegan diet is only for those who need to vibrate on a higher frequency to do their work in the world. She believes that different types of work require you to vibrate on different frequencies, and that this requires different diets. " Rich: I'd like to vibrate right off this world with my raw food diet. Essence of 100% Raw Diet Raw plant-based Fats, Fruits, Greens – all three daily – are the essentials for not only the raw-food diet, but any diet. David Wolfe writes in The Sunfood Diet Success System (2000): " I do not know of another person who has communicated with as many successful 100% raw-foodists as I have. In every single long-term raw- foodist I've met, I discovered the following dietary pattern: green- leafy vegetables, sweet fruits, and fatty [plant] foods. To me discovering this pattern was a revelation. It tuned me up to an incredible level of health and clarity. " Rich: That's my diet. All three foods – fats, fruits, greens – may be eaten at the same meal. Natural hygienists disagree, they say never mix fruit with anything and 'specially not with fat. I enjoy sweet and fat together, e.g. banana and nut-butter. I think food combining rules apply to cooked food, but I don't bother when all the food is raw. Rich: Me neither, but my fat would be avocados. You experience the power of a focused brain, and joy at the heart of every cell. Your cells get so happy when they get to work at peak performance. They were born to be raw. Rich: Here, here. Your body-mind is re-creating itself at its own pace. Rich: Yes, I have to accept the SLOW pace. " If your blood is formed from eating the foods I teach [fruits and green-leaf vegetables] ... your soul will shout for joy and triumph over all misery of life. For the first time you will feel a vibration of vitality through your body (like a slight electric current) that shakes you delightfully. " Arnold Ehret, Mucusless Diet Healing System (Benedict Lust Public., NY, 1970) Rich: It's true, I feel it. The energy in my skin is amazing light, like a slight electrical current. rawfood , " Jennifer " <simplify@s...> wrote: > " I like this approach <http://eatsprouts.com/diet.html> > http://eatsprouts.com/diet.html " > > > Thank you for sharing this.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I read that oo and enjoyed it too. I'm still learning about all this. But my friends are real David Wolfe fans. They say that they like him because he puts all the emphasis on joy and happiness. He says that is you are not enjoying something and it isn't making you happy, why do it? We are all also SGI Buddhists, and that goes with our philosophy on life as well. Live to be happy now and spread happiness now. But for me personally (not my friends), I am still learning and other sources I've found seem to have diiferent views on Wolfe. Just amazing how the same thing can strike people different ways. It was especially telling when reading the reviews of raw books on www.amazon.com. It was there where I also found out about Norman Walker, who was a pioneer of vegetable and fruit juicing who lived to be 108-120 depending on differing accounts. So glad to find out about him! Some reviewers said that these new folks like Wolfe were too strident and 'just ripping off' Norman Walker's work and were not advocating enough of a calm scientific approach as was present at the beginning of the century. well, I don't know about that! But I did buy a couple of Walker's books. They were much cheaper too. And it WAS nice to read about this stuff in a different more old- fashioned style. And it does feel closer to the source of the modern history of the movement. I guess there's room for everybody! Oh well I have run on. Thanks for reading. oak1day rawfood , " Froggy " <seconaphim> wrote: > > In his first book, Spiritual Nutrition and The Rainbow Diet (1986) > Dr. Cousens points out: > " The key is to find the diet that best supports the flow of spiritual > energy in our system, and at the same time supports our function in > the world.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 i hesitate to answer this post. just speaking as the voice of somewhat negativity, wolfe's books are in the sale pile. i like some portions of them, but am not too fond of the books of the group of raw people who are closely related to him because some of them are not willing to admit what someone else i saw in an in-store around this neck of the woods called the " time problem. " which is the lack of long-term analysis of the diet. (i'm not speaking of wolfe himself, but some people who work closely with him.) to be fair, i probably wouldn't feel so critically about the books from that group of people if i didn't witness one author getting all snappy and heated with someone asking an honest (and reasonable, and skeptical) question at an in-store. but i suppose that clarified how i feel about raw. if it makes you feel great, that's awesome. but it annoys me when people write books which are somewhat testimonial in tone and then skim over the contradictions and complications that a person who is new to raw will see. i don't need to be sold on raw, and i'm too savvy to buy hyperbole or hucksterism. i simply want raw books that a) give me good recipes and/or suggest new ways of combining foods, b) provide good guidelines for changing my own life in the most positive way possible and/or logistical hints, and c) explain the theory plausibly. that said, of course, i'm only about 50% raw. --Nicki P.S. I found the in-store by the folks admitting the time problem to be absolutely awesome. not much in the way of hyperbole, and lots of hints for making raw doable.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Exactly, the only reason I eat this way is because of the joy and happiness it brings me. That's the joy of God working in my life. I plan to live to 125. Who wants to be " advocating enough of a calm scientific approach " to this? For tons of obvious reasons, I should be eating a simple raw, whole, plant food diet. I'm sure I get all the nutrients I need in this, it has to be, but also, science does back this up. " The modern history of the movement " might be interesting to study but I'm sure this movement is as ancient as man himself or at least it goes back tens of thousands of years.
