I’m really digging “raw uncooking” and “raw foods right now.  I just made some raw nut tacos that put the local Mexican joint to shame. Raw food is not only really good for you, but it’s also a lot more tasty than I imagined.  It’s all about the techniques, combinations and assembly.  I think I’ve been eating more unprocessed fruits and vegetables than ever, because  every single dish requires them. There is no doubt in my mind, especially for fatties, that raw food diets/menus will really improve your fruit and vegetable intake, which is something all doctors recommend of course!  When I get my fruits and veggies, more than 6 servings a day, I have less headaches, and weight seems to melt a bit quicker. Â
But there is a darker side to “raw.” Isn’t there a “darkside” to everything, anyhow? The pharmaceutical companies make drugs that kill people.  Scam artists make up stories that their “special raw gobblydegook”  is going to “heal your cancer”.. nevermind that a a vast number of cancers just go into remission on their own when someone does absolutely nothing at all, this is nothing new.  Worst case scenario is someone giving up their cancer treatments for a snake oil cure and I certainly would not want to encourage that here on the site. What I am interested in are sensible ideas, products, foods, etc. that are helpful in staying to the path to losing weight.
Yesterday I was watching a really good raw show on YouTube, the recipes were great, the demonstrations great, the fact that people had lost weight, fantastic. Everyone was also very healthy looking, albeit a bit on the “earthy crunchy” side, lol. Â Everything was going along fine until the BS of “how raw foods cured someone’s cancer” raised its’ ugly head.
