I'm also a blood type O.

I don't need eggs or dairy. The nuts and seeds are hard to digest if your adrenals are not working well, and your liver is backed up. Really this has only to do with the allergies. When your liver and adrenals are well, then you won't have allergies.

The only other thing about fats is that it takes time to adjust to a higher fat diet. Takes about a week or so but you can kick start it by fasting for a day on just water before you get into it. And eat with leafy greens and/or microsprouts. The body needs to adjust metabolically so it can start to utilize energy from the fats, instead of quick sources of carbs. Takes about 3-5 days to begin, shorter if you fast. And still to perfect it maybe a couple weeks if not 3-4 weeks.

People only need about 30-50g of protein a day, even for the most extreme athletes. I'm serious. And if you're getting them from raw, germinated seed then you know you're getting quality highly digestible protein in the form of free amino acids.

Re: I tried the 'raw food diet' to get healthy - Holy Crap!
best raw food diet protocol IMO is Gabriel Cousen's Spiritual Nutrition program, aka Rainbow Greens Livefood Cuisine. You can search on google for it. Search "phase chart updated rainbow greens live food gabriel cousens".

You have to go through 3 phases. First phase is little overt carbs. Only small amounts of berries or grapefruit in a salad base or with greens. Lots of nuts and seeds or other sources of fat. Bean sprouts in moderation. All of the nuts and seeds should be soaked over night and eaten as is, or germinated for 1-2 days longer, or redried after that.

As for what to buy organic... well, there is a list of things that realy should be organic.

It's recommended to have 1-2 lbs of leafy greens a day to make sure you don't have too much fruit, or nuts/seeds. Sprouts are wholly recommended. Mung beans, adzuki beans, lentils (all sprouted) are done in moderation. But getting a good micro sprout/microgreen sprout mix, or some other sprout mix (non legume) is also really good, if not recommended. I would say the sprouts are essential.

You'll see that you might be better off not making recipes and just eating the stuff you have as is. All seeds, nuts, and legumes are to be germinated before being eaten.

So on this diet, you stay in each phase for at least 3 months, max 6 months. Then you move to the next level/phase. Last phase is phase 2 (after 1.5).

Trust me.. do not pay attention to people telling you that you can't do this because you need meat, etc.

You're detoxing.






I have had the worse body aches/headaches/fatigue of my life. Every single injury I've ever had is bothering me now. I'm eating a wide variety of raw foods as well...but I don't think I can keep this up. Any advice? BTW, I lost 7.5lbs in 4 days.

 Quoting: ANHEDONIC


Heh, it's not that complicated if you think about it.

I'm not even recommending any kind of fasts, or smoothies, or detoxes, flushes, colonic, enemas, etc.
Well enemas may help. But colonics are not necessary and in fact too much.
Its jsut, a 3 phase diet on basic foods. I'm not even recommending doing only fruits. I'm completely against doing only fruits... the ancients might have done this but we can't do it first without rebuilding our bodies, and ensuring that we have access to WILD fruits, not store bought fruits. Again, it's only for cleansing though, but this is the most intense kind of cleanse. It has to be Acid fruits though, not highly sweet fruits.

Really, it's just a low/moderate carb raw vegan diet. That's all it is. The carbs can cause problems. The nuts and seeds, the fats, the greens are ESSENTIAL for rebuilding. Then you can have more carbs.

Don't eat meat and filler foods like bread. Bread and rice are poverty foods, with no nutrition. Eat fruits, veggies, and assortment of nuts. All raw. Avoid high starch veggies like potatoes or keep them at a bare minimum. Absolutely NO oil at all, it all bad, even olive oil. Try to keep your diet as close to a monkey in the jungle as you can.

Yup. I struggled myself with the raw food diet. It was mostly digestive issues and nothing else.

With time though, I just thought, ok let me just eat whatever I feel like as long as it's raw. That got me started. Eventually I went all raw, and I started with the Gabriel Cousens plan. It is a long term 9-18 months program to ease you into the ultimate long term raw food diet, which can be done FOR LIFE. It's not a cleanse. It's a lifestyle.

once I found that, my digestive issues had mostly to do with caffeine, and easing into a higher fat diet, then I knew this was for me. Metabolically speaking the body just has to adjust to a higher fat diet. Digestively speaking, you'll learn how to eat foods and in which order (food combos) that will make it work.


For me.. on a phase 1, a meal is germinated nuts and seeds, before a big bowl of greens (1-2lbs total a day) and a smaller bowl of berries. And flax/chia sprouts 2-3 tblsp twice a day.

Instead of the fruits you can also have sprouts of various kinds (not grains).

consider that your digestive system may not be strong enough to handle a lot of raw food. try lightly steaming, and sticking to whole foods. basically if you just eliminate processed foods you'll do great.

what kind of diet did you go off of in the first place? you may be experiencing candida die-off. also it sounds like you are in major detox, drink lots of good water, juice veggies and fruits, ride it out my friend. :)

also sprouts contain the highest potential of the plant.

different ones will give different benefits.

for true, human assimilable calcium, sesame seeds are the #1 source, so sesame sprouts or tahini.

it is a myth that you get sufficient calcium from dairy products. they contain too much protein, which requires calcium to be absorbed. also the calcium in dairy is not human assimilable.

If its really bad maybe try the master cleanse with the fiber and clay 4 times a day.

start smoking cigarettes and get some painkillers, you'll feel alright.

no. you could be flushing out toxins.

detox may take a while, and often doesn't feel very good while it's happening. but many swear by how you feel afterwards, including myself. toxins supposedly accumulate in places of injury and such.

id get yourself on some sort of comprehensive organic detox regimen. make sure active charcoal is a component, since that will work wonders in cleansing your body of heavy metals, crap like that.

also, drink distilled. water. only distilled water. nothing else.

try it. and exercise.

id give it a month before you give up... sometimes you cant rush these things.

might want to supplement yourself with some accupuncture, massage, or both.

good luck to you :)

flush yourself out every day.

you need about an hour near your toilet to do this. As you get cleaner , say in a week , the time will be about 1/2 hour to do it.
---


its called an oral flush

drink all at once:

1 quart of warm reverse omosis water
that has 2 level teaspoons of celtic sea salt mixed in.

lay down on diferent sides and angles for a few min. at a time and the salt solution will works its way through.

in about 15 min. to 3/4 hour you will get the urge to use the toilet---as you clean out each day the time to feel the urge and go and frequency of your toilet visits will reduce


--
First time you may not get much or anything---by day 3-4 you will be on the toilet mimicing a garden hose .--about 4-5 times.

when you have this garden hose affect--you have illimanatted most of the crude
now you can start feeling much better after each flush
don't do this all the time.
use it to get over your cleansing crisis hump---about a week or 2.


if your cheating--eating ANY low qaulity food or acidic food---don't waste your time doing this.

the idea is to trigger your body to let go of toxins and acidity.
and the flush to get it out of there quick.

your body will not cleanse if you don't trigger it.

its the deep tissue cleansing from alkaline and fermented foods that is the real beniftial thing to shoot for.




get her done quick, and you won't lose resolve.

Re: I tried the 'raw food diet' to get healthy - Holy Crap!
i've tried all kinds of stuff and find it is more sustainable to change one or two things a month and keep doing the new things while next month you change more.

very sudden big changes all at once can send you into backslide.

also, if the detox is already intense, i would NOT suggest colonics or enemas or anything...you do NOT need to be eating hospital food.

detox should be taken very seriously and never more than you feel you can handle. too much too fast can send you straight to ER.

i do agree with what 115 said about fermented foods...i like to have a tablespoon of unpasteurised apple cider vinegar in a glass of water daily. i also use ume plum, ume plum vinegar, braggs liquid aminos and nutritional yeast on my foods. NOT brewer's yeast...nutritional yeast is high in b vitamins and the most easily assimilable food source of such, for humans.

Bullshit, megatoxic liver failure kills people, not coffee enemas. When people detox (which sounds exactly like OP is describing) the toxins get into the bloodstream and overload the liver, without glutathione S-transferase enzymes helping flush them out, the liver can go into failure. This is where coffee enemas come in handy, there are studies to back it up here:

4 days isn't very long, but you probably went into it too quickly.

Do about 50% raw for a while, and go from there if you wish.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9014106


What the man said.

Esp. if your body isn't producing enough bile and or other enzymes to break down the food (it takes a LOT to break down raw food, even if you supplant with natural enzymes), then you will get sick, because all of the undigested food will start getting eaten in your large intestine producing gas and possibly temporal leaky gut.

As such, start easily with only half raw first and don't go all gung ho on legumes and other veggies full of polysaccharides.

Go slow and listen to your body. Give it time to adjust. With adverse reactions, cut back a little and try again.

26 yrs old. Male, 5 feet 9 inches. Weight is about 156. Adrenal fatigue if you abuse caffeine, which I have. Also copper toxicity has a part to play in that.

Av. daily diet is 1-2 lbs of leafy greens, nuts and seeds for protein, flax and chia seeds twice a day. some berries with my greens. Also, I have kelp everyday, I just chew big pieces of it. I also like dulse and wakame.

I will be adding sprouts once I get the materials ready.

And really the adrenal fatigue goes away when I stop drinking yerba mate for like a week.

Zinc foods, seaweed, greens, algaes nuts and seeds are good for the caffeine detox.

and make this stuff yourself OP--its all on the net.



it is fermented foods that are loaded with probiotics, vitamins minerals and alkalizing to boot---which are needed at all times--and more so when you are cleansing/flushing.

and you get a bigger bang for your food dollar OP when you make fermented foods.
the fermentation process increases the vitamin content in the food.

and lets not forget mold and parasites---cultured food kicks the crap out of mold and parasites in your body.

the lack of cultured food in our society is the big reason people are sick and are spinning their wheels trying to fix it.

cultured foods is the way to go OP.
before, during, and after your cleanse.

the fermentation process increases the vitamin content in the food.

and lets not forget mold and parasites---cultured food kicks the crap out of mold and parasites in your body.

the lack of cultured food in our society is the big reason people are sick and are spinning their wheels trying to fix it.

cultured foods is the way to go OP.
before, during, and after your cleanse.
