Comment on This Is Embarrasing – I Failed On 100% Raw Food Diet! by Leisa

I did the raw diet over a year ago, and planned to do it for 14 days. I ended up sticking to it for 12, but in those 12 days I lost 12 pounds! I was amazed!! I felt great, not weak at all. I made sure to make it fun, and eat as much as I want- I hate feeling hungry on a diet, so this was great for me.

I’m now doing it again, as I have let my weight get out of control with my new job. The first time I tried this, I worked at a hospital, so there was a huge food court/cafeteria downstairs with a humungous salad bar with tons of options. Now that I am in an office, it is a little harder to have to pack everything. We’ll see how it goes! I hope to stick to it for 15 days, then ease into grilled chicken and fish.

Hi Ken,

I am very interested to know what Superfoods you were eating while you were going raw?

Comment on Raw Food Diet Superfood Part 2 – Quinoa by Brett

I have to say I have been quite pleased with how easy quinoa sprouts.
I just add a cup or so of quinoa to either a cheesecloth (or toe of a pair of knee high nylons will do just fine) and soak in a bowl of water. I change the water a couple times over the next 4-6 hours, making sure to squeeze the water out of the cloth/nylons when I do.
I then spread the quinoa very thinly layer into any kind of tupperware, pan, etc. and then cover with Glad Press N’Seal wrap and put in the fridge.
If you check the next moring, you will see tiny sprouts. If you wait another day or two, the sprouts will get a bit longer.
I have done this with both the white and red varieties and have eaten it plain or in salads.
I have tried and been successful sprouting lentils, almonds, etc. and have found quinoa to be the easiest and quickest thing I have ever sprouted. -Which is nice considering the effort vs. the nutritional value when sprouting.

Popeye would be the grand example! I wanna be like The good ol’ sailor man. Spinach is indeed healthy, but i’ve heard green cabbage should be even healthier ?

Good post. You are right – you cannot rely solely on the same foods, or solely on fruits and veggies. They can be the main part of your diet, but I think we need some grains and beans, nuts, etc.

I did some research when we became vegan, and I found that some of the deficiencies with this type of diet were B-12 and Iodine. So, you may need to supplement in some way.

Mary
I think that your quinoa will need pre-rinsing. As I understand it, only the small retail packs are pre-rinsed for retail sales.

I bought Quinoa in bulk at a natural food co-op and some more at Winco. How do I know if has been rinsed and no longer has saponins? I have not cooked it for this very reason. Not sure if I should rinse or not.
Thanks for the help.

Comment on What Are The Health Benefits Of The Raw Food Diet? by Laura

Great post, I am currently trying a juicing diet. I do two raw fruit/veg juices a day and I eat a healthy meal of steamed veg with chicken or fish at night. I intend to eventually move on to a raw food diet to maximise my weight loss.

I have been on this diet for a week and so far I have lost 9lbs and 9.5 inches. I feel far more energised than I have on any other diet and my skin looks fantastic.

I look forward to reading more of your raw food posts.
