I eat raw food not on a restriction but because it makes me feel better my body loves it truly listen to my body. I created my own recipe and all raw foods are great. Even non organic foods are great. Seasonal fruits, nuts, seeds, veggies foods are great. Enjoy raw foods not base on restrictions. Whatever is available are basically good for our body. It wholes the same benefit as others raw foods.
Thanks for sharing! I relate to your story - I live in a region of the United States where the winter season is very long and cold. Most of the raw vegan gurus live in warm climates. They don’t understand how difficult it is to eat cold food when it’s so cold outside 😭
u can still warm it but not over 45 c
If you take it out of the fridge long enough prior it shouldn’t be cold
,♥️♥️,%)😊
Exactly what i needed!
Thank you for your wisdom :)
Very inspiring! Thank you 😊
How great and refreshing to hear another have this mindset and perspective! Thank you for saying all of this for others to ponder on, you're awesome❤ Beautiful words, encouragement and truth. P.s I'm also just so happy for you! To know a fellow brother or sister have come to know themselves and continue to connect to themselves makes my heart smile! 💫💞🤗
It seems many develop disordered eating when they do anything in an extreme way (such as lengthy cleanses or guilt surrounding raw vs cooked).
Exactly, that's why I speak up about it
That was so well said!!!! Thank you so much.
I’ve been raw vegan for 5 years strict… and been through the extreme fasting… The past month I’ve been adding more root veggies/ fermentation/ more fat and my mental health/body feel amazing.
A part of my ego is still telling me that it’s wrong…It’s crazy that the guru’s get inside our heads.
Wow everything you said hit the spot so well. Even the fruit in the winter, I felt like crap sometimes… I look forward to experiencing cook food again when the time is right
The body has all the answers especially after we've gotten rid of junk food. We can trust our body. What helped me is aceppting that it's normal to feel lower in energy after a nourishing meal. Instead of thinking I always need to be 'high'
Hi Fabio! Nice share, my friend. I can relate so much to what you're saying. I share my healing journey on CZcams and find myself changing my outlook on so many things. I don't like labels on lifestyles or "diets" I have learned to just listen to my body as everyone should. What works for me may not work for another, we all have different weaknesses. Take care :0) Lis
Beautifully well said we r all different but the same. Thank u for ur truth.
Thanks so much for making this video. I totally agree! If I lived in a place like Bali, I think a raw vegan diet would resonate with me but as I live in a northern temperate climate (like yourself), finding foods that are in resonance with that environment and climate are the foods that resonate best with my body (because my body too, is in that environment and climate). Trusting our own experience always far outweighs the 'insights' of some guru who doesn't even necessarily know us, the environment and climate we live in, nor the stresses and anxieties that we might be dealing with. Your message of developing our bodily awareness and intuition is very sage advice.
Also, in reference to raw....humans evolved a great capacity / ability to digest amylases than other primates. Could our use of fire have triggered that adaptation? Also, just because something is natural doesn't mean it is better or good (if we digested raw meat or raw legumes, we would get sick).
Beautifully spoken.
Sounds balanced. I stick to raw foods only, because I expect LESS bodyfat to be stored on my body long term...
So true bro
@@humblerenell1015 *If you can handle the bitter taste of sprouted legumes ofc...
I eat High Raw Vegan, I don’t think we should be fully Raw but raw and cooked foods is a balanced. ❤
so glad i found your channel!❤
i find i better do on raw in cold climat then cooked. i am addicted to feeling good. any time i do some cooked i feel my confidence and energy says bye bye.
If you feel better that way, great!
I eat raw fruits, nuts, seeds, veggies in the colder climate feel so great more energized
Thanks so much for your common sense approach
You are so, Right, love, Diana Lipski, I am a 12 years Vegan Lady & I eat Cook Vegan and Raw Vegan and I enjoy it, I love your Videos ❤️
Thank you
Finally - a balanced approach. Finding one’s own truth !
Exactly ❤ I totally agree! Listen to all the gurus; and then be your own.
If we are not open to change, then we won't find whats best for us, I love that! So true! Our bodies are always changing too. I found that as I get older, my body cannot tolerate certain foods.
Hi, for winter raw eating, nuts and dried fruits are a must in my opinion, especially almonds and raisins. Salads that include starchy vegetables like carrot or beetroot are also filling and satiating. I respect your sincere view on this topic, unfortunately many so called ''raw vegan youtubers'' are promoting a fad to health seekers and are more interested in growing their channels.
Thanks! Yes I agree, dried fruits are great, nuts and seeds a must!
I live in a tropical country, where the winter is barely cold at all and has plenty of fruit and plants. So, for me, it is easier to be raw vegan. But yes, I can see that in countries that are colder it can be way harder. Your argument about the winter is on point. I believe that has also to do with the reason of why people in the "blue zones" live longer. These zones are closer to the tropical, where raw food is highly accessible.
Weren't coocked foods supposed to be drug-like amd thus even from the first meal you started listening to old addictions brought back as such? All that intuition telling you to eat better by using fire ? What species does that ? Raw is not idealistic. Coocked is a pleasure trap not a nutritional step up. No human should have ever left the area best fot for them to live with no need for clothes or shelter and plenty of natural foods = subtropical regions 😊 Your message is ok to help the compromisers compromise some more because you are missing the whole point of human life which. When any creature eats it does so because of its mission in Nature. We have divorced ourselves from that and Nature. Then we found reasons for why its even "better" 😂 Sure, guru's are to be avoided because of their obnoxious behavior. But natural logic should still tell you Nature needs you to eat raw fruits, plants and the poop that comes with that to complete the circle of life.
Ur spot on. Ur a true intelligent man
To all the nay sayers on veganism i saw look at john rose. hes been raw vegan for 35 years or so and hes in his 70s. very fit and bright man. I personally am vegetarian 7 years and high raw for one. I feel great. I think many in the raw community are too pure and restrictive , just eating fruit or fasting too much. I think we need stuff like sprouted buckwheat. Eating eggs or something every once and a while won't kill you, and might be a good way for people not to get deficient in omega 3. I eat a lot of flax seeds which have it. It seems everyone is different and not everyone does well on this diet. I don't think carnivore or low carb is the answer tho.
He doesn’t have all his teeth and he’s started to look emaciated. If that’s your definition of perfect health, by all means.
Im not vegan , i tried, listen to ur body. I agree with u 100%
Humans are designed to eat animal products in very small amounts. Our closest primate relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos, eat around 6% animal products, according to Jane Goodall. This is why vegans become deficient in omega-3s, B12, K2, etc. They also lose muscle mass and skin elasticity. We are designed to get these missing nutrients from an occasional meal of meat (and preferably fish due to the high omega-3s). Herbivores can extract protein from plants (with 4 stomachs, etc). We are less capable of doing this. How much meat do we need? Enough to be beneficial, and not detrimental (high cholesterol, hardened arteries, heart disease, cancer, etc). Probably around 5%. This is what The China Study uncovered. Animal products above 5% became detrimental in humans and cancer and heart disease increased. Below 5% and there were nutritional benefits without the dangers.
I get where you are coming from and it is a possibility. Most vegans probably hate me for this but I stand with my opinion. I do believe we can meet all of our needs as vegan or raw vegans, IF WE DO IT RIGHT! however there is a possibility that we can't meet all of our needs, who really knows? personally I feel great eating this way and don't feel I miss something. Right now we are all in a big experiment. The carnivores claim they know what's best, the vegan think they have the truth etc etc. We should always stay open minded no matter what we follow.
Amen brother. I'll be following your journey with interest. Have a good one.
I forgot to mention that I eat 95% high raw vegan and 5% animal products (mostly clean, wild caught fish and eggs for omega-3s, B12, K2, etc). I live in Virginia, and we also have cold winters and 4 distinct seasons, so I agree with you that we should eat seasonally and cook when needed. I think genetics could also play a role. I'm of mostly German heritage, like you, and for thousands of years (and probably hundreds of thousands) my ancestors ate some meat, especially in winter. To be safe however, I am keeping this down to 5% per the China Study. I eat 2 meals per day, so this is about 1 meal a week of fish and eggs. Anyway good chatting with you. Looking forward to your next post.
@@Jeremy_936 interesting, thanks for sharing!
keep evolving! There are still quite a couple of restrictions you are hanging on to. Sorry to say that, but often when we are young we are too extreme. It is okay, we try stuff out. But once you will be 40 you will look back and think, oh my god! what was i doing and thinking.
Be healthy first ❤
I love eating grass fed ribeye steaks seared on the outside and still MOOING on the inside ❤️
Mooing from the inside from a cow who was murdered and had its life taken away for your momentary addiction satisfaction?
@@BloodBathandCake
I only eat regenerative raised grass fed & grass finished beef.
The ONE ANIMAL
SACRIFICED that FED ME & MANY other HUMANS with its HIGHLY NUTRIENT DENSE MEAT & FAT CONTENT FOR OPTIMAL HUMAN HEALTH INCLUDING PROPER NERVE & BRAIN FUNCTIONING & REPAIR IS MOOING ...."THANK YOU"!!
FOR BREEDING & TAKING CARE of ALL of MY ANCESTORS INCLUDING MYSELF so that WE were ABLE to EXIST & LIVE PEACEFULLY & FOR ALL OF THE FARMERS & RANCHERS RAISING & PROTECTING US SO WE DID NOT BECOME VICTIMS/PREY or EXTINCT from COUGARS, WOLVES & OTHER PREDATORS or DISEASES!!
Well wishes...❤️
Raw is quite limited and over time can develop deficiencies.
explain what deficiencies
I tried Fruitarian and then vegan but the health problems kept on compounding. Eventually I tried carnivore just before surgery and meat fixed all my issues.
Now I eat 90% meat, it's been 5 years and I still feel great while I could only do fruit & veg for 2 years.
what surgery and what issues you had ?
@@incorectulpolitic The specialist wanted to remove some of my parathyroid glands, saying they were overactive.
The main thing that was wrong was edema in my legs but they could find nothing wrong with any organs, only low vitamin D and high calcium.
The health problems that I fixed with only eating meat are:
obesity, prediabetes, loose teeth, bleeding gums, sensitive teeth
cold sores, blocked sinuses, mouth breathing, left eye twitches (tetany)
heartburn, calf cramps, yellow stool, blood in stool
edema below the knees, painful feet when walking, sunburn is less
shoulder, back and neck pain after waking, lower back pain and stiffness
Raw food diet is easier to follow in a warmer climate, even then only a small percentage of people can follow this way of eating long term 😊
why do you think so?
@@FabioBellanova yes, because animal protein produces a thermal effect within the body thereby increasing heat so making the body warmer and this is why communities who live in a cold climate such as Siberia ( temperatures - 15 to 30 degrees Celsius ) which is extremely cold and way below zero all indigenous peoples live mainly on animals and cooked stews etc . If they ate a raw vegan diet in this freezing cold temperature they would be very cold and have to eat many times a day and require a substantial amount of calories just to survive...eating meat in sub zero freezing temperatures increases internal body heat thereby providing both a thermal effect and nutrition together. In a warm climate the body has less requirement for extra heat and so less requirement or need for meat and poultry etc...fruit and vegetables and salad may be more appropriate in warm weather countries...
@@Starchaser63 well of course. People who live in these extreme climates don't even have the raw foods available. But this is also not the majority of people.
@@FabioBellanova yeh true. Raw food diets and Vegan diet will always be on the fringe of society with just 1 or 2 percent if any population eating that way. I think vegans believe some day the majority if the world will be vegan hut it will never happen for obvious reasons. All adult vegans around today spent the first 15 or 20 years as a meat eating non Vegan. I dont know any adult human today who was raised vegan from birth. I dont know of any 2nd or 3rd generation families around who were all raised vegan from birth ...
BE your OWN guru.
I think humans are not supposed to live in a cold climate zones. We cant survive naturally as other animal species. We don't have thick fur. Also we need sunlight and its obvious we are more happy when its warm and sunny. As well in a warm climate zones there are different variety of fruits which grows all year long.
absolutely, we belong into the tropics or subtropical climate zones of the world.
I tried being a vegetarian for years and just became sicker and sicker. Went carnivore and doing so much better.
Body going through detoxify. Shouldn't have up.
Same here. On carnivore 1 year I've lost 50kg and started stacking on muscle.
Blood pressure has dropped 20 points from hypertension to normal range.
Because you quit eating processed food.
@@jean-chritophedesjarlais8435 I quit eating processed food on several other diets and didn't get the same results. According to lots of so called "studies" they tell us red meat IS processed food, but now I eat 80%+ red meat and all my health markers are miles better.
@@georgemoonman2830 I count bread as processed food btw. Even whole wheat has added sugar, gluten and oil.
I’d be surprised if anything could beat a totally unprocessed whole food vegan diet that’s mindful about keeping low blood sugar and calories.
Did you ever ask Dr Zoe Harcombe "should we be vegan"? 20 years of experience gives her thoughts some validity...
do the years of experience always give validity? veganism is considered the best choice by science. And you can make your own research.
@@davidiruya657 of course not but her story is still valid as is yours...have you shared it anywhere? Personally I see tons of "science" is clearly corrupted, so I prefer exploring alternative sources of info/knowledge and trying for myself (n=1). Do you trust Fauci? Klaus Schwab? Bill Gates? Lots of money out there producing "science" to confirm their claims 😲
Why can't we find any veggies in nature? If humans were made to eat veggies, why our digestive tract is not able to process plant base food? We have short colon like carnivores not long colon like herbivores.
I agree, most veggies do not appear in nature and are bread by humans, however this doesn't mean they are bad or not healthy. Maybe YOUR digestive tract is not able to digest them. Mine definitely is. Most people are simply not used to eating raw plants and their gut miceobiome needs to be rebuilt. Our digestive system is not that of a herbivore correct, but it's also not similar to that of a carnivore it is actually closest to that of frugivores, which we belong to as a species.
My body likes drugs …. They make my body feel good 😂😂😂😂. I’m gonna trust my body !! Lol you realize you can’t feel tumors growing or plaque build up …. So how your body “feels “ doesn’t really matter unless you have an allergy to a certain food …. Any ways seasonal whole food plant based eating is cool so 👍
Being bitter is also not good for our health 👍
@@FabioBellanova for sure
I’ll suggest that raw animal foods are best. ✌️
Not truly
@@humblerenell1015 wrong answer, but best of luck with your health.
Are u still vegan
I ate local bananas in Costa Rica and was raw for a long period. I didn’t feel great on them. Your argument, or any other vegans for that matter, isn’t sound. Fact is that everyone has specific needs. Certainly veganism is not natural and would never occur in nature for humans. I hope the vegan agenda ends.
Are you still vegan?
Yes 👍
raw vegans are king of farts...you need to eat meat based cooked and some rice sourdough bread for meals and fresh fruits and fresh fruit juices(in evening as snacks) and some cheese and kefir(a2 milk based)
Try meat...
Obviously you didn't know what you were doing as a raw vegan otherwise you would still be a raw vegan.
What should he know ?
Veganism will kill you one meal at a time. You're just lucky that you're young enough right now. Keep going and we'll see what happens. Being raw, vegan or even being vegan. You don't get enough protein. You have to take supplements. It's not a sustainable diet. I was vegan for six and a half years I I quit for health reasons and don't tell me I wasn't vegan hard enough
let's say you're right and I don't get enough protein. That would mean that I couldn't build any muscle right? Quite the opposite I would loose muscle, correct? Well since the beginning of 2023 I went from 67kg to 75kg. No change in body fat. Weird how that works... Please explain that with your logic.
There are 95yr old vegans healthier than you. Take several seats.
Carnism will kill you one meal at a time, its not a fantasy its reality in hospitals especialy.
@@ruthnne so true now. This is ridiculous now.
Boy when you start your comment with "xy diet kills you one meal at a time" you have zero credibility in bio chemistry
Be healthy - Don´t go vegan... Not optimal! Lacking!
are you a scientist? all your colleagues think the opposite.
@@davidiruya657 Not really No. Do some research then.
@@davidiruya657 I can mention a few for you Anthony Chaffee MD, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Shawn Baker.
Explain to us what's lacking on a vegan diet
@@FabioBellanova omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, iodine, and vitamins B12. You need that from supplements = Hence a lacking optimal diet. Not to mention the things you get from plants are not bioavailable, as much as from meat alone. And the most "plants" and fruits you eat are so cultivated it has nothing to do with "food" anymore. Try and eat a wild grown banana...
You still seem orthorexic to me.
