The Pitfalls of a Raw Food Or Vegan Diet

Kevin: So you've been at this for 23 years now. What are some of the most common snare you see with a raw food or vegan diet?

Jameth: I pondering the number one pitfall that a raw fooder suffers from is, based on my 23 years of experience in raw board with countless tens of thousands of people, is if they're a regular person, they eat vertical foods, and let's say they're ill and they go raw immediately and they get well, I actually pondering that is ultimately a mistake. Because I see tribe when they "fall off the wagon" so to speak, they spillway off hard and they tumble back to what they started from. So if I'm eating regular pizza and normal chicken and normal animal products, things like that, usual cookies, I fall off the carts with raw, do belongings with family, I'll just go ahead and eat those and then, you know, "When I do that, and finish with my binge, then I'll just go back to creature raw." And, I see a enclosure of tribe residue raw foods or just being less healthy by going back and forth between those things. Because in raw the emphasis is so hard, and this is how I was taught too, on raw, that it forgets all the other belongings that are important, that make a raw board diet successful. And the mathematics one thing that makes a raw board diet successful - all of a sudden, you are a whole board vegan.


If you become vegan, all of a sudden, if you stop eating savage products, cooked or raw - which are not good for you, you had an immense addition in your health. Your likelihood to get osteoporosis has plummeted; your feasibility to get cancer has plummeted; and as a whole board vegan, your likelihood to get bosom sickness is almost non-existent.

Now whole slab meaning, you're not just eating white sugar, white flour, and hydrogenated oil - all of which are vegan, but all of which are absolutely abysmal for you. A whole food vegan would eat belongings like millet, amaranth, quinoa, chick peas, you know, grains, beans, legumes, fruits, vegetables - actual food, unadulterated by nature. You're also eating an organic diet, when you tend to go raw, and organic is huge. These things are just additives, and you don't just eat a whole food, organic, vegan diet, you also innovations completely the types of foods you're eating. For example, you don't go from eating, let's say a frozen vegan pizza, cooked, to a raw frozen vegan pizza. You change your slab completely. You go from eating, let's say a frozen vegan pizza, or a usual pizza, to broccoli, and cauliflower, and fruits, and sprouts, and flaxseeds, and actual foods that are completely different types of foods. So the amount of nutrients you are becoming by creature a raw fooder, unless you're fruitarian, is dramatically higher. You're also usually intake more water, unless you're doing many of dehydrated things, or dozens of cacao, you're more hydrated, which is immensely beneficial. Some diets include dozens of raw vegetable juice, which is tremendously beneficial. And, you are also eating a pen of your food raw, which there is a right to actually having things raw too, but it's just one of the dozens benefits.

In raw food teaching, there is often taught, usually taught, that there's two categories of food: foods that are raw, and foods that are cooked, and there is nothing in between. So if you're eating something cooked, well it durability as well be cheese lasagna, rather than tofu lasagna, because in the raw slab world, there's really no difference. And I've seen that dope devastate peoples health, and I seen it have people parting the raw foods movement who would be having, let's say, 80, 90% of their saps has improved, and like "Wow, I love this." And maybe 10 or 20% hasn't, or 10 or 20% may have gotten worse, for some reason, some flaw cropped up somewhere. And, if they usually dialogue to the raw board downspout or seeming at raw board text, they say, "Well, there's a problem with you, you're cleansing, you're this, you're that, blah blah blah blah. You've got to deferment raw, because all cooked slab is poison." Even the, you know, sometimes even with macrobiotic diets, which the recovery macrobiotic diet is an all-cooked food, vegan diet, there are lots clan who have overcome cancer with that. Now you can't overcome cancer on poison, and by no stock am I an supporters of macrobiotics, by any stretch of the imagination, because I think macrobiotics is very depleting long semester but far better than the ideal American diet.

So I think it's important to be a whole board vegan at some point, and get a good basis of that. And if raw foods is not surgery for some reason, don't scarf the child out with the washing water.

Kevin: So some of the shortage that you encounter, with raw food are, maybe...

Jameth: I'm not proverb they're widespread, I just demand to make sure it's clear. I've met 20 plus year raw fooders who, for the most part, were chasing that regime, and who appear to be vibrantly healthy and they're in excellent health, and I have no interest in trying to change their diet whatsoever. I just shortage them to live optimally and have the creatures of the realm live optimally and the planet as well. But for those who do, there's some - there's a escape of raw fooders - I don't know how to necessarily define the types yet - but it might be, tribe who tend to be vata, it is, in my experience, don't necessarily thrive on 100% raw foods. And it could be that there's possibly shortage of a type of protein, because it's not a inadequacy of protein, because on raw foods, if you eat an appropriate amount of nuts and seeds - and I pondering you tins eat funds too scads of those - but an appropriate amount, let's say, one handful or so, you tins get tons of protein doing that. But there's some vata types, with my experience, income a long time to recover from campaign out, and it has a much harder time structure muscle, just on nut and grains protein. And you can't really eat enough broccoli, because broccoli has, I pondering 20 or 30% - protein, very high. But to get that much grams of protein from broccoli, it's virtually impossible. To eat that lots calories, you would actually have to juice a duo of situation of stalks of broccoli to get sufficient protein - and you would get sufficient protein in that case. But broccoli's also a cruciferous vegetable, and I love cruciferous vegetables for the dweller detoxifying, for their anti-cancer benefits and they have some hormone evenness benefits too. They're phenomenal foods. But raw broccoli, or any raw cruciferous in a large quantity, is really, really hard to process. It's hard to matter with. So in situation like that, I've seen, if people claim over to the legume family, it does not have to be soy beans. Soy cocaine are one of hundreds of different legumes. If you don't like soy beans for some reason, just don't eat them - not necessary. Lentils, chick peas, mung beans, adzuki beans, belongings like that. Now you can certainly do those raw, but it's ironic that one of the reasons that soy is indicted amongst the raw foods communities is because research on raw soy shows that it is very difficult to digest. It has enzyme and protein and other inhibitors in it that make it hard to matter with and hard to grow on, but that's when the soy depressants are raw. Now when you sprout any legume, any legume sprouted still has a enclosure of these anti-nutrients in them and it's harder to digest and get creation out of a raw legume sprout. Now it's almost ironic though, when you steam those legumes you do destroy all those enzyme inhibitors and the enzymes as well. But at least you're enzymatically neutral now. You have not cooked it, or charred it, or burned it so there's no lucocytosis raising of the white murder battery count, with steamed legumes or any steamed vegetable. For those people who don't thrive on raw, if they do that, sprouted and steamed legumes, not lightly steamed you've got to steam it the whole way. Raw is just hard to digest. Most clan don't even make raw hummus anymore with raw chick peas. Have you noticed that?

Kevin: Yes.

Jameth: Because they are notoriously difficult to jab raw. I've made lots of raw chick pea in my day, dozens of raw sprouted things and always the entity I used to do and still do is the cloth that's left over, a dip or pate or something, well you throw it in the dehydrator and make raw chick pea burgers and eat them the next day for dinner. I did that one time and I ate the things in the morning, the raw chick pea hummus we had the day before, a whole pigtails of them, I brought them to my seminary and man, I had a hard time even entity in the seminary because I had so scads amount of gas, that smelled so evil and I was in so much pain that I couldn't actually socially be in the actual building. I had to walk outside.

Kevin: Wow.

Jameth: Now that was because I had a concentrated, dehydrated version. Now if you germ chick peas, and chick peas can be hard to sprout. Sometimes they just go bad before they sprout. Now I don't mean soak. So actually sprouted chick peas that are steamed then mixed with raw tahini, no reason in any means image or form to cook your tahini, is phenomenally digestible. Really, really awesomely digestible and to get back, if you germ your legumes, steam them and put a little clue of flax oil on them and salt them whether it be Himalayan salt, Celtic ocean salt, a little breaths of gluten free tamari or miso, some sort of good quality source of organic sodium, in my experience I have never seen that not take away someone's craving or soul for flesh. That is so scads better for you nutritionally than eating a paragraph of flesh, raw or not. By any measurement that proficiency has currently come up including [indecipherable] photography, it's far superior to do that than it is to eat raw flesh. So what I'm precept is rather than pitching the baby out with the bathroom water and entity 100% raw, if you're eating an animal manufacture because you're better off not. You're better off eating a whole food vegan cooked food like sprouted, steamed, salted, flax oil, legume that I talked about. That's my experience.
