I am interesting in starting to eat raw and am concerned about gaining weight because most of the recipes are nut and seed based and they have a lot of calories.
Does the food being alive somehow negate weight gain?
I need to lose weight not gain it and am tired of having to count calories. I just want to eat and know that I won't gain weight if I eat moderatly and dont cram my face with crap food.- Re: Question about eating raw joanne

Hi tiffturtle
It's darn near impossible to gain weight on a raw diet, IF, and this is a big if...you are 100% raw. If you're anything less than that, sure you can gain weight -eating lots of fruits and veggies doesn't make you exempt from gaining weight if you're also shoving big macs down your throat ;) But - if you're only eating raw food, one of the first things you should notice is how much less food you're content with than before. Once you start actually nourishing your body with food, you don't need to eat as much.
You do have to be somewhat sensible, though, and by that I mean you shouldn't eat a pound of seeds or nuts at every meal - they do have a lot of fat, it's true.
I know lots of rawwies from my visits to the local raw restaurant, and not one of them has gained any weight, all have maintained their weight or lost...some lost lots! Without even trying...it's pretty cool. I've lost 5 lbs myself in a month, and some days I ate like a pig. It is true that you can eat pretty much whatever you want without ever thinking about calories, but like I said - let sensibleness rule. Like...if you eat 30 avocados a day you might gain a few pounds ;)

This is a reply to # 27,381Since coming off the Master-Cleanse I have only been eating raw fruits and veggies (although not alot of raw veggies I like) I have just bought RAW the uncook cookbook and am excited about this new world that I never even knew existed. I did some internet search and found that there will be a Raw food restaurant opening in Dallas in mid to late October... I am excited!!!
I have never heard of this way of eating before...and having a place to go out to eat will be great.
I went to Whole Foods and the only Live food I found was some bread.
Do you make food from the Live recipes?
If so, what appliances do you have?Advertisement

Oh yeah...having a raw restaurant or a raw health food store near you is huge! Makes such a difference when you just want to grab something - I just love that part of it. Yesterday I didn't feel like making dinner and I stopped at the raw restaurant and picked up chili (a bunch of chopped up veggies and nut burgers) and flax seed crackers, and some incredible pate that I couldn't stop eating - not sure of the ingredients but I think the first 2 were carrots and maybe apples, and there was chili powder in it. It was amazing! And they sell the most luscious raw olives there.
I have a juicer (hardly ever use it) a blender (use a lot) a dehydrator (don't use because it's crappy) a food processor (use at least once daily) and a spirooli - it cuts vegs into skinny spirals - what I do with that is cut zucchini or yellow squash into strands like pasta, and then eat it with marinara sauce - SO GOOD!!
I actually have never made one darn thing from the cookbook yet! I do really want a nice Excalibur dehydrator, and then I plan on making some burgers and crackers...mmm!
What about you - have you made any good recipes? Like I said in another thread, I really do find that the easier it is, the better. Some raw guru, can't remember which, has a 5/5/5 rule - his meals have to have less than 5 ingredients, cost less than 5 dollars, and take less than 5 minutes to make. Sounds good to me!

This is a reply to # 27,380I don’t know if you have started to go totally raw just yet as I have only just picked up this thread. If you have not I would suggest a slow start. Rather than jump straight into eating everything raw I would suggest building up gradually. Going raw in one jump may cause you some discomfort to start with. Introduce elements over a period of time. Remember if you are eating a total veg diet you must supplement with vitamins as some are not found in large enough quantities in vegetables. The other area you must pay attention to is amino acids, the body can produce many but a few need to be taken in. The best way to guarantee you are getting the correct acids is to eat organic whole soy bean. (cooked of course). I would be interested to hear how you get on. RegardsAdvertisement
