Thank you so much!

But the truth is, my skin wasn’t always so clear and smooth…

How I Went From Chicken Skin and Acne to Clear & Smooth Skin

I forgot to mention that I also struggled with dry and oily skin (depending upon the time of year). I never could have bangs because the oil and sweat (yes, I used sweat A LOT too) would just weigh them down.

As you can see, this is no longer an issue for me. I love my bangs!

Here is something I read and this is the type of thing that makes me scared of the raw food world:

http://www.webmd.com/diet/guide/raw-food-diet?page=2

Don’t be scared, Anne! The claims in the link you provided—It’s a WebMd article titled “Is the Raw Food Diet Healthy?”—are easily debunked.

Here, I’ll show you…

Vitamin B12 Deficiency

Researchers who studied the impact of a raw food diet found that participants had low cholesterol and triglycerides. They also had a vitamin B12 deficiency. This finding is consistent with another study of raw foodists in Finland.

B12 is found naturally only in animal products. It is critical to nerve and red blood cell development. Deficiencies can lead to anemia and neurological impairment.

Obviously low cholesterol and triglycerides is a good thing. But low B12? Not so good.

The thing is, vitamin B12 isn’t just associated with raw food vegans.

In one study analyzing the blood tests of 3,000 men and women, it was found that 39% of participants had low B12. And according to the researchers, most of these participants were meat-eaters.

For more vitamin B12 myths, click here.

Low Lycopene Levels

A German study of long-term raw foodists showed that they had healthy levels of vitamin A and dietary carotenoids, which comes from vegetables, fruits and nuts and protect against chronic disease. Yet the study participants had lower than average plasma lycopene levels, which are thought to play a role in disease prevention.

They are found in deep-red fruits like tomatoes. Lycopene content is highest, however, when tomatoes are cooked.

Healthy levels of vitamin A and dietary carotenoids, another great thing. But what about low plasma lycopene levels?

From the American Cancer Society:

Since tomatoes also contain vitamins, potassium, and other carotenoids and antioxidants, it may be that other compounds in tomatoes may account for some of the protective effects first thought to be due to lycopene.

These compounds may act alone or along with lycopene. When researchers look at large population groups with different lifestyles and habits, it is also possible that their findings can be explained by other factors that were not examined.

And despite what you hear on the news, science does not point conclusively to lycopene alone as a cancer-fighting substance. Several studies have been done on lycopene and cancer with mixed results.

If you’re worried about your lycopene levels, stop worrying. Eating fresh fruits and veggies as your mainstay will provide plenty of lycopene, along with all the other cancer-fighting phytonutrients your body needs.

If you’re still worried, eat some tomatoes. Watermelon, pink guava, grapefruit and gac (if you can get it) are also good sources.

Low Bone Mass

Low bone mass in the lumbar spine and hip may be another risk for raw foodists, who tend to be slim. Researchers concluded, however, that the raw foodists studied had “good bone quality.”

That’s because rapid weight loss at the beginning of the diet may have caused the decrease in bone mass.

As with many things in life, less (or lower) is more. We want lower cholesterol, lower triglycerides, lower blood pressure, lower body fat. All of these have been associated with vegan and raw vegan diets.

It seems that low bone mass is no exception. It’s all about quality, not quantity.

Menstruation

Finally, another study showed that a raw food diet can interrupt the menstrual cycle, again because of drastic weight loss.

Female menstruation is a touchy subject within the raw vegan movement. Some believe that blood loss is unnatural, while others believe that bleeding is natural.

What is unanimous, though, is that periods should not be painful, should not be heavy, and should not last for more than a few days.

If you’ve lost your period on a raw vegan diet and it’s keeping you up at nights, visit your doctor and get some blood work done.

Deficiencies

The raw food diet is rich in nutrients. It’s full of fiber and it’s low in fat and sugars.

But raw foodists, along with vegans, need to make sure they’re getting enough vitamin B12, calcium, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, most of which are found naturally in animal products.

Everyone needs to make sure they’re getting enough B12, calcium, iron, and omega 3s. Not just raw vegans.

And the truth is, it’s very easy to meet your nutritional needs on raw foods. As long as you eat a healthy raw food diet based on fresh fruits and greens, you will receive plenty of nutrients, including calcium, iron, and omega 3s.

Vitamin B12 is another story, but it is still very easy to obtain enough on a vegan diet.

Protein

Raw foodists typically get the same amount of protein as nonvegetarians through plant foods eaten throughout the day. But because plant protein is less digestible, the ADA also recommends eating plenty of soy and bean products.

Ah, the dreaded protein issue.

The funny thing is, protein really isn’t an issue at all. As I show here, it’s so incredibly easy to get plenty of protein (and even EXCEED the RDA) on a raw vegan diet.

Calcium

Nutritionists at the ADA also recommend that raw foods and vegans increase their calcium intake. That’s because their diets are high in sulfur-containing amino acids – nuts and grains, for example — which can increase bone calcium loss.

First, this article is assuming that all raw vegans consume lots of nuts and grains.

This couldn’t be further from the truth. Those consuming a HEALTHY raw food diet actually consume little to no grains at all and very small amounts (like 1 ounce a day) of nuts.

Second, vegans do not need more calcium.

As I spoke about here, healthy vegans actually need LESS. And it’s possible that raw vegans who consume little to no grains and legumes and small amounts of nuts and seeds need even less than that.

Zinc

Zinc is better absorbed by the body through meat. The ADA recommends soaking and sprouting beans, grains, and seeds. Doing this may help the body better absorb the nutrients from these foods.

According to the World Health Organization, the average adult male needs between 4-14 mg of zinc everyday, while the average adult female needs 3-10 mg/day (depending upon the bioavailability of the zinc being consumed).

It is very easy to meet this requirement on a diet of fruits, veggies, and limited amounts of nuts and seeds, as I show below…

• Breakfast: 5 medium bananas
• Lunch: 4 mangoes
• Mid-Afternoon: 8 peaches
• Dinner: Salad of 1 bunch spinach, 1 cucumber, 4 med. tomatoes, and 1 ounce brazil nuts

This made-up meal plan contains only 1995 calories, yet provides 8.2 mg of zinc. For someone eating a healthy raw vegan diet devoid of high-phytate foods like grains, this is plenty.

As far as soaking is concerned, read my article here.

Vitamin D

Finally, people who do not eat meat or dairy products should be vigilant about their vitamin D intake — especially for people who live in northern climates. Low levels of vitamin D can lead to weaker bones.

The ADA recommends vitamin-D fortified foods, including some brands of soy milk and rice milk, some breakfast cereals and margarines. You also may want to take a vitamin D supplement.

It’s estimated that 40-60% of the entire United States population is deficient in vitamin D. Is 40-60% of the US population vegan or even vegetarian? Of course not!

My point is that vitamin D deficiency is not just a vegan or vegetarian issue. Unless you live close to the equator and get plenty of sunshine, you’re at risk no matter what you eat.

Don’t Fear the Raw!

There’s no need to fear adopting a raw vegan diet. You just need to be smart about it.

Contrary to what most raw gurus will tell you, you can’t just eat whatever you want that’s raw and expect to meet all your nutritional needs, lose all your excess weight, have tons of energy, and be perfectly healthy.

There is a right way to go raw and a wrong way to go raw. Luckily the right way is pretty simple: eat fresh fruit, get in your greens, and limit your fat intake.

10 Benefits of a Raw Food Diet

Are you really eager to go raw, but just can’t seem to muster up the courage to get started?

These are some of the top 10 benefits of the raw food diet that most every raw foodist has experienced. If this doesn’t convince you to go raw, I just don’t know what will!

#1: Improved Digestion

If I had to give you my top raw food benefit, improved digestion would be it. It is the one result that almost every single person who attempts a healthy raw diet experiences.

Not only that, but it usually occurs very quickly. Many indigestion symptoms go away in just a few short days, if not less.  Whether you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome or just the occasional upset tummy, you will see major improvements after going raw.

However, if you continue to abuse the #1 food combining rule, then your results will not be as great. No amount of raw food can undo the effects of the sugar-fat combo.

#2: Permanent Weight Loss

Hmmmm…maybe permanent weight loss should be the top benefit?

I don’t think it’s going too far to say that close to 99.9999999% of people struggle with their weight at some point in their lives. Many of us go on diet after diet after diet, hoping that we will see *some* kind of positive change in our weight.

Unfortunately, the only change that most of us witness is a higher number on the scale. And if we do happen to lose weight, it’s usually at the expense of our health (i.e. calorie restriction, dangerous diet pills, frozen food programs, etc.) and typically comes back to haunt us sooner or later.

On the other hand, eating a healthy raw food diet allows you to lose weight *permanently* while improving your health substantially. Plus, you get to eat *pounds* of food on a daily basis, without any gain or the guilt!

#3: More Energy

Unlike what you read/hear from many well-known raw foodists, raw foods do *not* give you energy.  Nothing you eat does, whether it’s a burger or a banana.  Eating food of any kind *requires* energy, just as everything else that you do during the day requires energy.

What makes following a healthy raw vegan diet truly special is that it requires less energy to process inside your body. 2 pounds of grapes literally takes *minutes* to be fully digested by the body. This is opposed to cooked foods, or even a complicated fatty raw dish, which take hours to be digested.

The one *true* energy provider is sleep, which brings me to benefit #4…

#4: Better Sleep

Since I’ve been raw, I rarely ever feel tired when I get into bed. Even after being raw for so long, I still get ready for bed sometimes and think, “Gee, I’m not going to be able to fall asleep right now. Maybe I should just stay up for a little longer.”

However, I convince myself to get into bed and the moment my head hits the pillow, I feel so relaxed. Within minutes, I’m out.

The best part? When I wake up, I feel completely awake and ready to begin my day. No more groggy mornings for me!

This is a far cry from my bedtime routine from two years ago.

My daily routine was this: feel absolutely exhausted by 4pm. Try not to fall asleep at the wheel on the way to a client’s house. Feel a little better after a 30-minute nap. Feel exhausted again by 7pm. Get into bed still exhausted by 10pm. Remain awake for an hour. Wake up at 7am groggy and grouchy. Repeat.

Yikes, that makes me tired just writing it!

#5: Mental Clarity

I’m sure that many non-raw foodists will disagree with this one. Raw foodists are supposed to be tree-hugging, hippie nut jobs, right?

On a raw food diet, because you are no longer weighing your body down with hard-to-digest cooked foods, you have more energy to use your brain!

Of course, this has a lot to do with sleep as discussed previously.

Because you spend less energy digesting your foods, you sleep more soundly. This means that you have more energy during the day, meaning your thoughts are generally much more clear and your focus greatly improved. You are more mentally, and even emotionally stable.

It’s really a cycle, isn’t it? The more raw foods you eat, the better you sleep. The better you sleep, the more energy you have. The more energy you have, the more mentally stable you are. The more mentally stable, the easier it is to stay raw.

And the longer you stay raw, the healthier you become!

#6: Soft, Smooth, & Clear Skin

To be honest, I’ve always had pretty good skin. I’ve had maybe three blemishes in my entire life. In fact, the worst my skin has ever been was for the first few months *after* I gave up salt! But that’s for another article…

I’m not trying to brag. I just want to be honest. I’m not here to make up crazy transition stories about how going raw made me grow 5 inches taller and gave me the power of flight.

Anyway, I’m sure that many of you struggle with skin problems, whether it’s a blotchy skin tone, dry skin, oily skin, visible pores, blemishes, etc.

You *do not* need an expensive, chemical-laden skin treatment routine that only serves to further irritate your already abused skin. All you need is a good heapin’ helping of water-rich raw fruits and veggies.

And some sunshine couldn’t hurt either.

SIDE NOTE: I did have one skin problem prior to raw: keratosis pilaris (aka chicken skin). Click here to see how I bested it.

#7: Thick, Healthy, & Shiny Hair

I’ve always had really thick hair, but it was very dry and hard to manage before I went raw. The worst part was that I would shed like crazy!

My Mom was always pulling handfuls of my long locks out of the rollers of the vacuum. Yuck!

Now that I eat plenty of nourishing, water-rich foods, my hair is silky and soft. And I’m no longer a shedding machine!

#8: Healthy Teeth & Gums

But aren’t your teeth supposed to rot out of your head when you go raw?

NO! The fact that so many long-term raw foodists have suffered tooth decay is simply a testament to the fact that the mainstream raw food diet *does not work*.

On a healthy raw food diet full of sweet fruit, vegetables and little fat, you will not experience teeth problems. In fact, the condition of your teeth and gums is likely to improve!

The real key is to have a solid dental care system in place and not to make dehydrated foods the base of your diet.

#9: No More Aches, Pains, or Minor Illnesses

How many of you have struggled with “everyday” illnesses and pains such as headaches, migraines, colds, flus, tummy aches, joint pains, muscle cramps, allergies, etc.?

We all have at some point!

Personally, I used to struggle with…

• anemia
• restless leg syndrome
• muscle and joint pains in my legs and feet
• seasonal colds about 3-4 times a year (pretty much whenever the weather changed)
• the flu every couple of years
• headaches
• heavy menstrual flows and horrible cramps in my abdomen and lower back that left me in tears

And of course there were the seemingly random and unexplained aches and pains that would crop up every once in a while.

Every one of these has been *completely eradicated* since I went raw. No more headaches. No more colds. Perhaps best of all, no more heavy periods and gut-wrenching cramps!

Sorry guys, but that really is a big one for the ladies.

#10: Save Some Green

When you decide to take your health into your own hands and go raw, you can expect to save some dough in the process.

No more money wasted on unnecessary drugs, supplements or “superfoods.” No more expensive doctor’s fees. No more high insurance rates.

You can finally focus on *you* and spend that extra time and money on the things that actually make you more…well, you!

Still Waiting to Go Raw?

What are you waiting for? Each day that you remain a slave to your aching back, your extra fat, or even your trip to the local pharmacy, is a day that you could be living raw and loving it!

UPDATE

It’s been over two years and these are still my top raw food benefits. But what about you? Which raw results have you enjoyed the most?

P.S. A raw food diet not giving you the radical health results you’ve been longing for? Click here to see what you’re doing wrong.

What’s pseudo-thinking?

Rather than define it, I’ll show you what I mean with a personal example…

Recently, Fit On Raw reader Mark left a critical comment on an article of mine about salt. In the article I wrote:

What we don’t need is sodium chloride (NaCl). Both minerals in this compound are completely useless to the body. They cannot be broken down, which means they go into the body as NaCl, pass through the body as NaCl, and exit the body as NaCl.

And Mark replied:

Absolutely wrong. I enjoy your site, and I promise I’m not trying to knock your info, but it’s just not true. Every single basic chemistry course goes over ionic interactions (like NaCl), and in an aqueous solution (like in our body) they dissociate (ie. Na+ and Cl- become separate, detached ions that are free to float around).

D’oh!

Mark’s absolutely right and I’m absolutely wrong. Everyone knows (or should know) that NaCl is soluble, i.e. it is able to be dissolved. When salt is placed into water (or your body, which is mostly water), the two ions sodium and chloride separate from each other.

What can I say, chemistry was never my best subject.

In all seriousness, I never should have wrote that sodium chloride “can’t be broken down” by the body. It was just something I had heard and held on to, without even thinking about it.

I knew the dangers of eating salt from Dr. Fuhrman’s book Eat To Live, from Natural Hygiene, and from my own experiences with and without it. The “salt can’t be processed by the body” statement was just another reason not to eat the stuff.

This is pseudo-thinking to the core. I wasn’t truly thinking at all, but merely reciting what I had heard/read in the past.

And unfortunately, I’m not the only person guilty of pseudo-thinking, especially when it comes to health. Most people know next to nothing about nutrition and regurgitate pseudo-thoughts all the time in an attempt to defend their tasty-but-unhealthy eating habits.

Since you’re perusing Fit On Raw, a site dedicated to raw food and fitness, I think it’s safe to assume that you know a bit more than the average Joe Schmoe about human nutrition.

However, you may still be holding on to some pseudo-thoughts that discouraging you from adopting a healthy raw food diet and achieving optimal health.

So today, let’s take a look at the 3 most common cases of pseudo-thinking that may be keeping you from going raw and getting fit:

#1: A Raw Food Diet Doesn’t Provide Enough Protein

Ah, the protein issue.

This was definitely one I struggled with when I first went raw. Like most people, I thought we needed lots of protein to be healthy and the only way to get it was by eating meat, beans, or soy products.

Yet if you or anyone else had asked me a few simple questions like these…

• What is protein’s function(s) in the body?
• How much protein do you eat?
• How much protein do we need?

…I wouldn’t have been able to answer a single one. I only thought I needed lots of protein because “gotta get in your protein” was just something I had heard since birth.

The truth is, while protein is absolutely necessary for everyday growth and repair,  we really don’t need much at all. 5% of total calories (that’s only 100 calories on a 2,000 calorie diet) is plenty of protein.

And as I show here, you can easily get that much on nothing but fresh fruit, veggies, nuts and seeds.

#2: A Raw Food Diet Doesn’t Provide Enough Nutrients

So you’re weary of raw foods because you think they can’t possibly provide enough vitamins and minerals necessary for growth and maintenance?

I felt the same way a few years ago.

I mean, where else are you going to get enough of vitamins B12 and D if you don’t eat meat or ingest fortified dairy and grain products?

The truth is, a raw vegan diet is KING when it comes to vitamins and minerals. As I show here, fresh fruit, greens, nuts and seeds are high in everything from vitamin C to calcium (unlike meat and grains, which are poor sources of vitamins A, C, and calcium).

As long as you eat enough calories and variety, you’ll get plenty of the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals that you need.

So what about vitamins D and B12?

Vitamin D should come from the sun, not your food, and B12 deficiency affects everyone from vegans to meat-eaters. The following is from Could It Be B12? by Sally M. Pacholok, R.N. and Jeffrey J. Stuart, D.O.

While [B12] deficiency often occurs in vegans or vegetarians who fail to take supplements, the majority of B12-deficient people eat plentiful amounts of the vitamin – it’s just that their bodies can’t absorb or use it.

Why? Because to get from your mouth into your bloodstream, vitamin B12 must follow a complex pathway, and a roadblock in any part of that pathway can cause your B12 levels to plummet.

No matter what you eat, it’s a good idea to get tested regularly for vitamin D and B12 deficiency. Otherwise, raw foods have got you covered.

#3: A Raw Food Diet Doesn’t Provide Enough Variety

I know, I know. A raw food diet consists of only uncooked fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds so it must be lacking in variety, right?

Wrong-o.

The truth is, it’s the typical Western diet that lacks variety. This is a diet made up of meat, grains, dairy, and very few fresh fruits or vegetables.

Sure, there are different kinds of meat, but most Americans primarily eat cooked chicken, turkey, beef, or pork. There are lots of different grains, but most Americans focus on refined wheat, corn, and rice. And for 99% of people in the US, the only milk they ever drink is pasteurized cow’s milk.

On the other hand, as a raw foodist I eat tons of different fruits every year…

• bananas
• oranges
• apples
• dates
• mangoes
• grapes
• peaches
• cantaloupe
• watermelons
• avocado
• blueberries
• strawberries
• tomatoes
• cucumber
• etc.

…lots of different greens and other vegetables…

• romaine
• spinach
• bib
• red leaf
• parsley
• basil
• cabbage
• carrots
• peas
• etc.

…and quite a few nuts and seeds

• pistachios
• hazelnuts
• Brazil nuts
• peanuts
• sunflower seeds
• etc.

If you really want variety AND health, a raw food diet is where it’s at.

Your Thoughts?

Have you been holding onto any of the above pseudo-thoughts and let them negatively impact your health?

Maybe you’re guilty of some others, like “Oils are a health food” or “Gourmet raw recipes are good for you” or “Medicinal herbs are magically healing“.

Don’t be afraid to air it all out in the comments below!

Go raw, use your brain, and be fit,

Swayze

P.S. Still think that a raw food diet isn’t optimal? I didn’t either, especially after giving the unhealthy mainstream raw food diet a go.

That is, until I read this book…

The Raw Secrets

The Raw Food Diet in the Real World

Click Here!

And the rest, as they say, is history.

So if you’d like to dramatically improve your health with raw foods like I have, check out the book that convinced me to go raw at the link below:

==> http://tinyurl.com/lrm4c4

According to the RDA, the average adult needs about 400 micrograms of folate everyday. And if you’re a pregnant or lactating female, you need an additional 200-400 mcg.

Not that I usually agree with the RDA numbers, which are often highly skewed to accommodate the normal unhealthy American who lives on meat, dairy, and processed grains and contain a rather large margin of safety.

Regardless, it’s very easy to get enough folate. And you don’t need to eat braised calf liver or cooked beans (foods high in folate), nor do you need to take folic acid supplements (which have been linked to breast cancer, colorectal cancer, childhood asthma, and narrowing of the arteries and even artery closure) in order to get in your folate.

Pregnant or not, here’s what you should do to fill up on folate:

#1: Eat Lots of Raw Produce

Folate is one nutrient particularly sensitive to cooking, especially the bioavailable folate found in fruits and vegetables.

For instance, one study showed that spinach lost 51% of its folate when boiled while boiled broccoli lost 56% of folate.

If you want to get in your folate, you need to eat lots of RAW fruits and veggies.

#2: Eat Enough Calories

Even if you are eating raw foods, you may not be eating enough. Not only will this cause massive cravings that could (and probably will) lead you back to cooked foods, you’ll also risk nutrient deficiencies including folate.

But as long as you’re eating enough calories from raw fruits and veggies, with your focus on sweet fruit, you’ll get plenty of folate.

For instance, one banana contains 23.6 mcg of folate. Doesn’t sound like much, does it?

But one banana is only about 100 calories. If you eat 7 bananas for breakfast (about 700 calories), you’ll get just over 165 mcg.

That’s over one-third of the 400 mcg recommendation already by breakfast! If you were to have another fruit meal for lunch, let’s say 6 medium mangoes, you’d take in another 174 mcg.

Throw in another fruit meal and a super salad and you’ll be full of folate!

Speaking of super salads…

#3: Eat Lots of Greens

Besides being excellent sources of zinc, iron, and vitamins A, E, and K, many tender ‘n tasty greens are full of folate.

Spinach is well-known for its folate content. Just one ounce of Popeye’s favorite food contains 54.3 mcg! So if you were to eat a super salad containing 10 ounces of spinach you would take in a whopping 551 mcg of natural, bioavailable folate!

Here’s another example: romaine. One ounce of romaine contains 38.1 mcg of folate. A super salad of 16 ounces of romaine contains over 600 mcg of folate!

And that doesn’t include the folate in other fresh foods like cucumber, tomatoes, and celery that typically go in a salad.

Okay, I’m totally reading your mind right now. You’re trying to imagine eating an entire 10-ounce package of spinach or a whole pound of romaine lettuce and you just can’t do it.

I mean, you COULD do it…if it were smothered in fatty and salty dressings. And you know THAT isn’t the healthy way to go!

The solution?
