No. You will see benefits from just from being more raw than you are now. Say you eat 90% cooked food and only 10% raw right now in each meal. (By weight, not by volume.) If you increase the raw so you are eating 50% raw and 50% cooked in each meal, you would see big benefits! However, the cooked food you are eating shouldn’t be candy bars, soda, chocolate, fried chicken, etc. Try to cut out the especially unhealthy cooked foods.

You get what you "pay" for. If you follow the program 100%, you get maximum benefits; if you do it partially, some benefits will accrue, depending on what you do. It's far better to do even a small part of it than to do nothing at all.

I might one day, who knows. For now, I want to focus on making Raw foodism, in general, a lifetime commitment. For myself, going 75% raw and allowing myself 25% cooked, means that I will be able to maintain this commitment to my health for the rest of my life. I feel good at 75% raw, 25% cooked. It might not always be that way, and so I will respond accordingly. What works for me, might not for you; and vice versa.

You may have gathered from the book, raw is not the only key to cellular renewal -- ease of digestion and maximum elimination are! Therefore, "Quick Exit" is more important than "Raw." So, I do include some steamed veggies and sweet potatoes (and up until fairly recently the occasional fresh fish meal) in my diet. But I would say I do cooked food less than 4 X/month and only as an evening meal if I do.

For some time this may seem true, because it is such a radical improvement for the body. But in order to be really healthy you should also do some kind of exercise regularly. This helps to keep you in shape, strong, younger, and in better health. Also, you should make sure to sweat while doing at least some of your exercises. Sweating is a necessary function of the body and allows the lymph systems to clean out.

There are so many benefits, we can’t even list them all. But for starters: people feel more energetic, more awake and healthier on raw. Most people lose excess weight, look and feel younger and more vibrant. Digestive problems like ulcers and acid reflux decrease and disappear. Skin conditions like acne tend to clear up. Body odor decreases. People get far fewer illnesses.

Yes, just remember that Florida State law requires all raw milk to be labeled for pet consumption only.

Additional benefits are payable if a veteran is housebound, needs the aid and attendance of another person, or suffers profound injuries. These benefits are called “Special Monthly Compensation”. More Questions on this topic? Ask it here http://www.hadit.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1491

A stable body mass index; clear skin; more energy; and minimising a range of common illnesses, from the flu to obesity-related illnesses. Raw foods contain bacteria and other micro-organisms that stimulate the immune system and enhance digestion by populating the digestive tract with beneficial flora. If you choose to eat fresh raw, whole foods, then you get adequate nutrition and enough enzymes to digest your foods properly.

Yes. Dr. Ben Kim's Greens is a 100 percent raw, vegan product, made out of the highest quality organic and wildcrafted ingredients available.

There are many benefits associated with the raw food diet. Here is a brief list of the most commonly observed: Some pets stop reacting to food and environmental allergies and become more comfortable and symptom free. Lethargic pets often gain much more energy and personality due to the nutrient dense food and enjoyment they get from eating it.

Sometimes things go wrong. What about utter failure? How have you failed when shooting a show? Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.

That depends on the person. I believe life should not be about 100% raw food, but about 100% health. You can be "unhealthy" and eat 100% raw food, if you are not eating the correct raw foods. In addition, the stress that can be caused by "screwing up" or "falling off the wagon" can be worse than eating a high percentage raw food diet, with "better" cooked alternatives. I personally aim to eat 70% raw foods.

No. Many of our participants do not eat all raw food. We support everyone, wherever they are on their dietary path.

For some people who are lactose intolerant the raw milk is much easier to digest. It also contains naturally active pro-biotics and all the original natural vitamins (which are normally lost in the pasteurizing process, and then added back).

The only unrefined sugar available to the average consumer seems to be Sucanat ™, an evaporated sugar cane syrup. Raw beet sugar is reputed to be unsavory. It may be possible in some markets to get other raw sugars. In Hawaii, pineapple sugar may sometimes be found.

Raw honey is honey that has not been over-heated or over-strained. Excess heating, such as used to produce liquid honey, destroys the natural enzymes that the bees have added, including the substance producing hydrogen peroxide that gives honey part of its antibacterial activity. The usage of honey as a medicine is referred to in the most ancient written records. Honey was prescribed by the physicians of many ancient races of people for a wide variety of ailments.

Raw food is food which has never been heated nor treated with chemicals so it retains the enzymes and nutrients of its natural state. As soon as a food is cooked or has added chemicals, the vitamins, nutrients, enzymes, and other healthy compounds start to change or become destroyed and the food no longer has the life and health-giving properties it should.
