Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Mike, I was wondering about how many calories you consume in a day. I have been eating nuts and seeds, but I don't think I should. I'm not sure they agree with me. I am breastfeeding a 7 month old raw vegan baby and don't want to affect my milk supply. I like that you eat simply and don't worry about all the dehydrating/juicing. I might like to do that, but I have 3 small children and time is precious! Thanks! Amanda Mike Elliot <mmelliot rawfood Friday, June 23, 2006 12:57:16 PM [Raw Food] What kind of raw are you? The last thread on broccoli got me wondering what variety of raw people in this group are practicing. I've noticed natural hygiene, organic, vegan, 80/10/10, semi-raw, etc. I am an organic raw vegan. I don't worry much about food combining. I tend to eat pretty simply: fruit and/or fruit smoothies for breakfast, fruit and/or salad for lunch, fruit and/or salad for dinner. I don't do much in the ways of nuts and seeds. Sometimes I put them on my salads, sometimes I don't. Occasionally I will snack on some raw cashews. I don't do grains. I use agave occasionally in small amounts in smoothies, but otherwise try to stay away from it. I eat whatever is in season at the time. I don't get into juicing (hate cleaning the juicer :-) and dehyrdating, super foods or supplements. I feel that if I eat a raw organic vegan diet with enough variety I am getting all of the nutrition I need. What about you? What kind of raw foodist are you? -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 I'm still transitioning to 811rv. I do " cheat " now and then with salt and less often with a little cold pressed EVOO. Otherwise, I eat lots of fruit and green leafy veggies, with a few nuts and seeds (haven't had any for over two weeks right now) and avocados (likewise). Today is my first anniversary of 100% raw. I am going to have lots more for as long as I live!

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hi, Tiff! I've been doing Frederic Patenaude's Green Cleanse starting two weeks ago. It went for a week but I extended it. I don't need the overt fat in avocados (or nuts and seeds) to maintain health. The only reason I eat them is because I like the way they taste. I like the way I _feel_ without them so I eat them only occasionally.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Amanda, I have no idea how many calories I eat a day. I mostly just eat when I'm hungry (although still do some emotional eating but am working on that :-) and don't pay any attention to calories.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I'll be honest, I don't really do a lot of recipes. I eat whole foods just as they are. My 7 month old daughter will eat anything I give her. She loves mangos, avocados, bananas, and small bits of apple. I have put frozen strawberries and bananas in my food processor and made yummy " ice cream " for her. I have 2 boys also, and I think kids will eat anything if they are exposed to it often enough. My boys are not raw, but would rather eat fruits and veggies than other snack-type stuff. Good Luck to you!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Thanks for the good comments, Mike! EVOO is a fractured food with few of the nutrients left but all of the fat. This is what I found on Dr. Doug Graham's site, FoodnSport, regarding salt: " Extracted sodium chloride, in any form other than the small amounts naturally occurring in whole plant foods, is an irritant and is toxic to the body. It causes a decay of the sense of taste, retards digestion/excretion, and impairs the critical cellular potassium/ sodium ratio upsetting our natural water balance. Drinking sea water causes dehydration and results in death in only a few days due to the salt content; extracting the salt from the water and ingesting it leads in the same direction. You would not drink ocean water, as the salt in it is vile, caustic, irritating and in quantity, deadly, even though it is diluted by a lot of water.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 That's great, Amanda! to be bringing your daughter up to love the taste of the foods as they are will keep her from developing tastes that are hard to overcome. Small children need more fat than adults, too, so it's good you are giving her some fatty foods. I've read that they require as much as 50% of their calories in fat.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 The calories from breast milk are approximately 5% from protein, 40% from carbs and 55% from fat. Now I don't know about percentages for older children who are no longer nursing, but I would think they would thrive on 8/1/1 rv. The only other information I can offer is that I once asked Dr. Graham if pregnant or nursing moms needed a higher fat intake, and he told me that the mom's milk will still be the same percentage of fat if she only consumes 10% fat in her diet (I can't remember what study was done, but he had some kind of documentation). He also told me that his wife and daughter were both doing very well on the 8/1/1 rv....his baby was growing very well and was very healthy. Cindy Sorry, Mike!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I nursed my son until he was 3 1/2, and I plan to let my daughter wean herself as well. I just don't want to not consume enough calories and then have my milk supply decrease. I think if I track my daily food intake with the tools on fitday.com, I should be able to keep up. I think a very low fat diet should be okay for me. I knew that my milk quality would not be affected, I was just worried about quantity. My raw breastfed baby has been in the 90th percentile for weight since her 2 month check-up, so I am not worried about her yet. Great info everyone! Thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Breast milk is 55% fat from calories, but I would think that after the age of weaning (around 18-24 months, or longer) they shouldn't need any more than an adult. I give my kids whatever they feel like eating for the most part, so they get more than 10% most days, but some days they don't eat any fatty foods, so they may occassionally get under 10%.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Mike wrote: >What kind of raw foodist are you? Hi Mike: Interesting question! I like to read recipes and try them sometimes. I am a lazy eater. I don't really like to chew a lot, for a lot of reasons - the top one being that I am a lazy eater and always have been, and, you might say, the main one being that chewing hard to chew things is not so easy for me (I am working on a chew-free cookbook, if truth be told) I like to put things in my food processor and process them to mush or paste. That rings my bell. I process most things into little piles and put them the plate (spinach, cabbage, carrots, squash, onions, garlic, whatever!!!) in cute arrangements, or, sometimes, one on top of the other (I think, in fancy restaurants, they call that " layering " or a " tower " .) I LOVE my dehydrator. Eating crackers, which had been made from raw vegetables in a dehydrator, at a health expo, was my introduction to dehydrating (back then, I was just interested in ways that I could eat low carb food) By the time I got my Excalibur, I had collected a few cookbooks with dehydrator recipes, and I was sold! I really like crackers. Crackers are what keeps my dehydrator going. They are portable, they are cute, they taste good, when I give them to other people, they like them. crackers are good. My crackers have more than justified what I paid for the Excalibur. I don't do much else with my Excalibur, because I am lazy and I am really into instant, or close-to, gratification. I don't really want to wait for a day or two to get dinner. I may change my mind-- I am interested in duplicating a recipe for a raw pizza I ate at a raw food restaurant, and I know I will need to dehydrate the crust, at least. I do like raw fruit, provided it is cut up into bite-able pieces. So.. what does that make me? I think it makes me a raw foodist who doesn't care, so much, what the food looked like when it was born, as what it tastes like when it is on my plate. (I am also interested in food combining -- natural hygiene-- so that flavors my ideas, but it hasn't put a crimp in my style as of yet.
