There’s a CONTROVERSIAL debate still raging in the low fat raw world. There are many who believe that it’s impossible to gain weight on a low fat raw diet.
Yes it’s much harder to do so but it’s not IMPOSSIBLE.
I learned this lesson the HARD way.
My companion, Roger Haeske, wrote his thoughts on the topic on [...]

This past Wednesday I decided to do an experiment where I ate my normal 100% raw diet but excluding condiments like herbs, spices and honey. Apparently it’s believed that these substances cause water retention.
I was aware that SALT caused water retention but I didn’t know about the other condiments.
I decided to try it out for [...]
I get this question asked often by meat eaters:
If eating a plant based diet is so healthy then why are so many vegans still overweight?
It’s a GREAT question and it’s something I’ve noticed as well.
The reason why this happens is because most vegans substitute the VEGAN versions of the junk foods they used to eat [...]

You’ve GOT to watch this video:

This is the story of Echo, a woman who, due to an accident, must eat via a stomach tube.
She’s also unable to leave her house.
Despite this she eats a raw diet thanks to blending her food and putting it into her stomach tube.
Here’s her story (in her own words):

This morning I was packing Andrew’s lunch as he was going on an adventure with his new babysitter, Analida.
I was so impressed at how beautiful his lunch looked–it got me thinking of the lunches I ate when I was his age.
I was born in 1979 and so was the “Happy Meal.” Mickey Dees decided that [...]

I woke up at 4:15 this morning because I had to use the bathroom–perhaps this is a sign that I need to finish eating by 2pm, lol.
Oh well, despite this I still feel well rested and I lost another 1/4 inch off my waist!
Andrew woke up an [...]

This morning I woke up around 6:15 am (not because of my “alarm clock,” Andrew) because I had to go to the bathroom!
I think this was because I finished eating at 5:15pm yesterday instead of 4pm. Lesson learned!
Today I finished eating at 4pm with some nice cherry tomatoes.
I started the morning [...]

It is worth it!
It may seem a bit silly at first but once you realize just how important having a great night’s sleep is it really starts to make a lot more sense!
I mean if humans can go days without having any water, then we shouldn’t have any problems [...]

I fell asleep last night right before 10pm and I slept until 5:30am where Andrew, aka my “alarm clock” woke me up because he wanted to eat something.
I find that as long as I don’t have to get out of bed I can soothe him and go back to sleep.
Because I [...]
