Raw Food Makes You Less Ugly... Before and Afters

[Raptor Jesus]

I've got no idea what most of you look like, you could be horny as hell or ugly as s**t.

I started eating raw food a couple of years ago and noticed I was a lot better looking for it. I have since lapsed but Im thinking of going back to high raw.

[Ra187]

i do believe all the weight loss would be due to the diarrhea you would experience

[Raptor Jesus]

More transformations

http://www.rawfoodinfo.com/pictures/beforeafters_main.html

[Raptor Jesus]

Hehe Ra so how would that explain their better skin?

The fact is I think most people are not half as good looking/healthy as they could be...myself included

[anarch]

Raw unprocessed food. Very healthy for you. Clean meat unaltered by growth steroids or other chemicals also very good for you. Corn Syrup, Aspartame, and Bleached Sugar not that good for you at all and yet we in the US consume ALOT more than we should.

[anarch]

Supersize me... Good movie... should be shown in all public schools.

Yes there's actually a raw version called Supercharge me...

oh well. YOU'RE STILL GOING TO DIE.

Are you a pro-life non-smoker, as well?

[theeindiee]

Is this an infomercial, by the way?

[Raptor Jesus]

Yeah but it's about leading a decent life.... I ain't preaching, just thought I'll share these photos.

No and no. Your comments suck but thanks for bumping the thread.

[Raptor Jesus]

A raw forum, nice people in general

http://www.sunfoodpages.com/cgi-bin/forum/ultimatebb.cgi

[theeindiee]

Who's judging decent? And shall we say this much? Shall we say that studes have shown that anything one believes will truly make them into a better person somehow will most likely have some placebo effect on said person(s)? An all donut diet would probably have some success if people didn't already know about the effect of donuts as a whole.

May I reccomend to you Quantum Psychology by Robert Anton Wilson. He's spot on with his bad self. But he's ALSO dead now... so not evenquantum reality will save you from death and how pretty your rotten corpse is gunna look after your raw food diet eventually kills you like all DIEts do.

[theeindiee]

what the fuck is this, raptor jesus? brainwash people time? There were nice people at jonestown, too. 900 of them.

[Cogburn]

Raw meat? No thanks. Not unless I raised it, slaughtered it, and butchered it myself.

Raw vegetables? Fine with me, but you don't have to eat them raw. Eat more fruit, instead.

Furthermore, for as long as mankind has used fire we have cooked meat over it and ate it.

Furthermore, bread dates back to the Neolithic era, when hunter-gatherer societies first began to stop wandering around and started to plant the seeds they'd been collecting on their clothes. I mean, they did eat the plants as they wandered past them anyway, right? Twenty thousand years later: MTV, the Roman Catholic Church, nuclear weapons, apathetic Americans, instantaneous communications and travel to the moon.

Raw food? Only in moderation.

[Raptor Jesus]

I was talking more about Raw Veggies, Fruit + Superfoods like Wheatgrass, Goji berries + Maca root, it did a hell of a lot for my health a couple of years ago and I was thinking of switching back...

Fruit is great but too much can cause candida flare ups and sugar imbalances in some people...

I also eat meat sometimes and I wasn't pushing veganism.

I am not dogmatic about everything having to be raw, I think boiled carrots, ginger etc are better than the uncooked version, because they're softer and easier on the gut. A boiled stew of carrots, ginger, Spinach, Cassava, and other assorted veggies completely healed my digestion recently, so cooked food has medicinal value too.


Raw food? Only in moderation

I agree... For medicinal purposes I might switch to a 70 per cent raw diet for the next while...

There are arguments for and against but the photos speak for themselves.

Sorry I'm not sure what yr saying... Are you saying cooked food is a sign of an advanced, or degenerate society or neither?

[Cogburn]

Sorry I'm not sure what yr saying... Are you saying cooked food is a sign of an advanced, or degenerate society or neither?

I suppose it depends on what you consider as "advanced," "degenerate," or otherwise.

Somewhere back in time I heard a comedian tell a bit (ahhh... the 90's) about not eating foods that contain ingredients that you cannot pronounce, and therefore by such logic only those with a degree in chemistry should eat Velveeta.

I'm pretty sure that a "good" diet should probably just follow that advice and go with it.

Enjoy your butter and sugar.

[GeneralStriker]

Clean meat unaltered by growth steroids or other chemicals also very good for you.meat is bad. wasteful. cruel. period.

[Alessandra]

raptor, shoot me some recipes. Im pretty sure my parents wont buy the food, but I've got cash and can prolly ride my bike to the store to get it. Would love to try this. I need to drop 50 lbs soon (1. to get out of here as soon as I can, 2. For nonlisted purposes, and no getting laid is not it)

[Alessandra]

meat is bad. wasteful. cruel. period.
Meat is OK in moderation... red meat, though..

The good stuff is poultry, and fish.

Occasional steak for protein & iron (shut the fuck up, perverts. I'm not talking about tube steaks)

[MissA]

Talking head scientists will tell you on one hand that a raw food diet does nothing special for you (because it does nothing for the processed food industry) and then on the other they tell you to only lightly steam your food so you retain the appropriate enzymes.

I tried the raw food diet and I found that it did clear up my skin and I did lose weight and I did feel great..however, it is hard to keep to and I eventually broke at the movies and ate an entire tub of popcorn almost entirely by myself.

[Alessandra]

ew theatre popcorn is so nasty...I get sick every time I eat it.

Raptor Jesus, I would prefer to eat you instead of becoming a raw vegan.

I need my eggs, chicken, and steak (organic hormone free when I can afford it). I am already skinny as it is, and I need all the protein I can get my hands on.

[eris]

I learned alot from watching You Are What You Eat on BBC America back when I had cable. The woman is insane, but has a lot of good advice about how to get healthy through eating good food and exercise. I like her because she focuses on overall health rather than losing weight quickly, which can cause additional health problems. I know she's written some books as well.

There's some recipes and other info on this page.

I'm glad this thread has been useful for some people.

Alessandra, I lost nearly a kilo a week when I first went raw, I was stuffing my face with as much fruit and veg as I could find and I never went hungry. I'm not much of a raw chef, you might want to check out www.shazzie.com (http://www.shazzie.com) for some good recipes. I would just buy your favourite spices and make sure whatever you eat is lightly flavoured with something you like. My favourites are green tabasco sauce and limes. Secondly, I don't know what your particular body needs, just go to the market, use your intution + enjoy it. You can't go far wrong if you remember to include lots of veggies. Dark Green leafy vegetables are very healing.

David Wolfe, Shazzie, Matt Monarch, Gabriel Cousens and a ton of others are all Great Raw Foodists.

I never bought a book, there is so much free info on youtube alone, SexyBitcheslikeitraw have some good recipes.

Angela Stokes lost a ton of weight:

MissA, the below video is a good overview of the raw/anti-raw debate. Yes it's hard to stick to, everyone snaps and pigs out sometimes. When I first went raw I still drank beer and binged on mayonaise sandwiches and pizza, but because I stuck to it 70 per cent I felt the benefits.

Skunk,

Im not totally raw vegan... I eat meat sometimes... So this thread is only about emphasising how good raw veggies, fruits and superfoods are. Hemp seed and Avocados are great sources of protein.

Raw Diet Blog 1

I'll start writing about this online so I can make sure I stick to it. Last night I ate Raw pumpkin + seeds, broccoli, alfalfa. This morning I ate the same plus some galangal + a red apple. Juices: Carrot and Apple:... I felt better almost immediately. More vibrant, more positive, more energy. My body feels like it's healing itself, like I've introduced 10,000 nutrients it was crying out for...

David Wolfe: The Raw-Food Diet has finally come of age. I have been able to communicate with so many raw-foodists via e-mail, telephone, in person, in consultations, etc. that I finally discerned the essential factors of The Raw-Food Diet. I discovered that three food classes are essential to stay balanced on raw foods. These three classes of foods form the natural dietary character of the human body, which is represented in my book as The Sunfood Triangle. The Sunfood Triangle demystifies The Raw-Food Diet and provides the basic understanding necessary to achieve and stay balanced on a 100% raw-vegan diet. These three food classes are: 1. Green-leafy vegetables. 2. Sweet fruits. 3. Fats (such avocados, young coconuts, nuts, seeds, etc.) If any of these three food classes is missing in the diet for a long enough period of time, the person will be thrown off balance and experience less than optimal health. Each of these food classes represents a point on the triangle. The idea is to remain at the center of the triangle by balancing these three food classes against each other in the diet.
JEAA: What I find interesting in your book is that you explain how to use those 3 food classes for different issues or problems that raw-foodists face along the way. For example, if I want to gain weight and get bigger, what should I be eating according to your triangle?

[skunk]

Jesus, sorry for misinterpreting the point of your thread.

I agree raw foods are great for the body, I don't think its healthy to only eat raw, although I know people who have gotten away with it for a long time with no problems.

One of my friends from college actually did it for a few years, and gained muscle. I don't think he's still eating exclusively raw.

You don't typically see that happen with strict vegetarians.

Although, there was a poster here who swore by the vegetarian/vegan diet in terms of bodybuilding...

What the fuck was his name again?

[Raptor Jesus]

There's a few vegan/vegetarian bodybuilders out there Skunk... I'm googling for one now, I forgot his name.

EDIT: This is one of them, there are others.

http://www.living-foods.com/community/personal/Arlin.html

Some people can manage 100 per cent raw others can't, I'm just going to do what I feel like...

[captainkiwi]

Fucking great post Raptor J man your intuition is right on.
I was switched on to this twenty years ago when I contracted Hep C in 1980. I lived a completely raw diet for 10 years.
I am completely cured myself and to this day I credit the action I took for myself after being told by my Dr that Hep C would end my life and that there was nothing that could be done to help me recover.
As you can guess I was in shock that this could be my what ended my life specially as liver disease is not a pleasant way to die. And I was very ill at the time so ill that I couldn't even walk up steps without some help.
That is when a very good friend came to my aid and took me to see and Iridologist, I might add that this Iridologist had no idea what was wrong with me.
I was shocked to attention when she took a look into my eyes and looked at the souls of my feet as she examined me then exclaimed that I was suffering from some form of hepatitis.
Then she told me that if I wanted to get well I would need to follow her instructions to the letter. I had to give up all the foods I loved that was fucking hard but as time went on I grew to love raw foods nuts grains etc and lived that way as I said for 10 years hardcore untill I meet the mother of my son she was a veggie head and as she liked to cook slowly I left the hardcore raw behind.
I have had regular blood tests to keep an eye on the hep C for 29 years each test in the first ten years showed a steady improvement and got to point where the liver functions where as near normal as I felt I could expect.
And over the past few years it has become what most Dr's would not be concerned by the minor fluctuations.
Then five years ago I was having my regular tests and my results came back totally clear both to mine my Dr's amazement so he sent me back for more blood work just to check and guess what totally clear again and totally clear to this day.
My Dr still cant believe that I have no signs of ever having Hep C some much so that last time I had a clear test he recalled all of my medical records of the past 29 years and is as I type this he is trying to figure out how I could have cured my self so completely from this killer disease go figure, your health is in your hands it's a no miracle when we take charge of our own health we can cure many ill's that befall the human body.

[Hazelnut]

Wow Captain, that is one impressive testimonial.

I'm convinced. I wonder how hard it is to change your diet and stick with it. Temptation gets the better of me.

And you're cured miraculously. That is an amazing story Captainkiwi, you'd think the medical association would want to use you as a guinea pig to figure out why you are healed from an incurable disease. Their lack of understanding says more than anything about the agenda to keep us sick and dying.

I have never had much faith in Dr's after they killed my grandfather!

I do believe one's own actions are the only one's that count and the will to act in your own best interest is the only right action.
I believe totally in the power of of positive affirmation and action if you take control of a situation you will at least know that you took control and did your up most to make the best of whatever that situation my be good or bad.
You know where I'm coming from my own faith never failed in the belief that at the very least I did everything that I could do to tackle the issue head on and took charge of my life I am in charge of my life period.
No excuses no poor me everything happens for a reason I recon. Not always sure at the time what that is hahaha must be so as I can keep on laughing.

[skunk]

Wow, your body cured yourself of hep C due to a raw food diet?

Any other behaviors that you think contributed to beating the disease?

Exercise I'm assuming?

Plenty of :pound: ?

Your success story should be documented captain, that is quite extraordinary.

Ever thought of writing a book?

[Raptor Jesus]

Impressive Captain... there are tons of simlar stories. My health went from awful to amazing within 2 months when I first went raw.

Milk Thistle and Choy Sum (Chinese flowering cabbage) are both very good for the liver, as is hydrotherapy (jets of cold water on the afflicted area) and a Chinese Herbal remedy called 'Xiao Yao Wan', translates as "The Free and Happy Wanderer". There's another Bupleurum formula called Shu Gan San (Smooth the liver powder) which workd well too. ALl the above is from personal experience.

Read Richard Schulze for hydrotherapy. His writing's over the top but he's basically right on.

I never had Hep C but my liver was in bad shape and now it's cured.
