I have meade some miraculous changes since going raw. Healthy teeth, eyes, skin, and nails are some of the awesome transitions that have come hand in hand of being raw. HOWEVER, my hair is dry, brittle, and terribly unhealthy looking! Why is that?? I am taking hemp, supergreen food, eating lots of nuts/avacodos and even putting olive oil on it at night but still dry and lifeless!! What is going on and what can I do to help my hair look as healthy as the rest of me?? THanks! rawjules _______________ Hi there, Sadly, everything you are doing to help your hair is destroying your hair. Consider, for a moment, a dog whose coat is beautiful and shiny. What such dog eats hemp super-anything food, nuts, avocados, or straight oil? Does any animal roll around in oil to " coat " its coat? Where in Nature would such an animal EVER find such things in a " usable " form? If you want your hair to look beautiful, stop dong ALL of these things, all at the same time. You'll need to increase your fruit intake dramatically at the same time, to make up for the thousand-plus fat calories you'll likely be dropping from your daily ... yes daily ... diet. I strongly suggest that you go to Nutridiary.com (or FitDay.com, if you prefer) and enter what you are eating for a day or two. You'll need a food scale, the cheapest ones work just fine. That's all you'll need to discover that, in terms of energy (caloric) nutrients), you're consuming a high-fat extravaganza. The average SAD eater consumes about 35% of calories from fat; my present guess is that you are consuming almost twice that. So I suggest you take the time and check it out for yourself ... you'll need no one else's input at that point. Best, Elchanan PS I've YET to meet a RF who wasn't blown away by his/her own results on Nutridiary or FirDay. It's a wonderful resource, it's free, and it's impact will likely be paradigm-shifting for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
