Well put. I think …
Well put. I think that if people stop thinking about what they can not have and what they can have from a raw food diet, they would be more likely to get on board! My hubby and I missed you at bonobos this year. When will you be back in Ny or near ny so we can come hear you speak? I think you have a great way of gettign the word out there! Kudos and Bravo to you for all that you are doing!
To your health!
wow thank you for …
wow thank you for your informative information i have never seen a raw foodiest like you i have tired not eating nuts and seeds and its made me weak any advice on how thats happening and what foods i should eat to make sure am being strong
Not when it comes …
Not when it comes to IGF-1 production. Yea, meat kills ya tough guy. lol
No they grew …
No they grew because of the amino acids. They couldn’t shop around for those amino acids like we can. So your point is useless.
He looks way …
He looks way healthier than any other 40 year old I have seen. And I am sure he has plenty of muscle, just because it is not HUGE muscle doesn’t mean it’s not there.
Um, i have seen 70 …
Um, i have seen 70 year olds who were raw vegans for 30 years and look way healthier/younger than anyone else their age. So I think you are a complete liar.
The significance of …
The significance of this isn’t that you shouldn’t exercise. He’s saying exercise isn’t what makes you faster or stronger or more in shape. Working out or exercising introduces a stress to your body, and with eating and resting intelligently, you adapt to these stresses. It just happens to be that eating intelligently is the most ethically and environmentally responsible and conscious. Meat/eggs/dairy steals energy. Raw vegan promotes energy.
WOW i learn a lot …
WOW i learn a lot from your videos, i had a vegetarian diet for 2 yrs, feel great but i want to go raw, your videos inspired me a lot
thank you so much =)
oh your not getting …
oh your not getting vitamin b12! shocking! how many vitamins do you think people miss out on on the standard american diet? LOTS!
I think I’ll try …
I think I’ll try going vegan for a week. I don’t know how I can part from raw human meat though. Crosing my fingers.
I’d invite anyone …
I’d invite anyone to show me where I lack vitamins in a raw food diet.
A vegetarian doctor …
A vegetarian doctor told my dad to tell me to drink milk because I lack in vitamins B12.
He is not …
He is not encouraging no exercise, KokonutIdiot1. Listen carefully. He encourages exersize in addition to rest. It’s just a teaser to make you think… what grows muscles? rest. What is needed before rest? exersize.
kokonutbaby1, you …
kokonutbaby1, you are racist. You know what happened to me during my child years? I was eating lots of meat, eggs, whey, and fish, and doing weight lifting. I didn’t gain weight and people told me I was white, very white.. Then I stopped eating meat and people told me I was white. Wow! No change. You are racist to white people.
@LierreKeith, shoot …
@LierreKeith, shoot your foul mouthed comments off to your mother’s inbox you rude verbose buffoon..dont direct your comments to me..I could careless what you think and not all the videos are grainy, this is one of many and his color is the same..i doubt you could assess your own back orifice.
“also notice their …
“also notice their skin color..its not a healthy pink but looks ashen, colorless”
It’s a youtube grainy video you idiot.
I know of people …
I know of people who’ve been in wheel chairs that eat meat. What’s your point?
This man is a …
This man is a nationalistic nutjob. Period.
I’m a vegan, have been for 7 years, and I’m a certified nutritionist in Saint Louis.
Most of what he argues is valid but he does not tell you that at the age of 56 he’ll be in a wheelchair because of various deficiencies. Nor does he tell you why.
He gives Americans a bad name.
Nutjob.
In any case, followers of his will find out for themselves. Painfully.
you sound like a …
you sound like a guy who goes from one extreme to another.
Wrong,dickhead! after 5 hour marathon you need rest and in three days when you recovered YOUR STRONGER AND FASTER !!! it makes us weak right after but in the long run makes us better…just promote healthy lifestyle..always raw food is not good and your a moron
its the vitamin d …
its the vitamin d in the summer
Eating enzymes, …
Eating enzymes, well most of it anyway, does not really do you the ‘good’ this guy keeps mentioning.
Most plant enzymes get broken down into peptides, just like any other protein, when we eat it.
Also, enzymes don’t do all the work. They need a substrate, something to mold or cleave to produce a product (be it glucose or any other thing). So even if enzymes did not denature, they still need something to work on. That’s where, ‘stressful’ foods come in.
Hmm.. I do have …
Hmm.. I do have more energy in summer. Must be all those summer BBQs that give me it. Mmm.. Bbq’d pork must be good for you in that case.
well he’s wrong …
well he’s wrong encouraging no exercise..for example..u sit around/lay around too much u get weak, ur muscles get stiff & ur tendons draw up causing foot drop & inability to walk..u also get short of breath cuz ur heart which is a muscle also needs exercising (which is shortening a muscle/then relaxing it) ..the heart muscles get relaxed which weakens it, u get a high pulse rate..& get congestive heart failure, poor circulation, etc. u exercise, ur heart rate lowers to normal healthy rate.
I agree w/you..im …
I agree w/you..im gonna stay an omnivore too..life is for enjoyment and purpose..I will add more raw to my diet but I dont wish to get too skinny & emaciated w/my eyes sunk back in my head like these folks..also notice their skin color..its not a healthy pink but looks ashen, colorless..they have no body fat true, its just skin over bone..we need some body fat, as it is storage for when its needed during illness & cold elements.
storyetime, in the …
storyetime, in the summer time I get the heck out of the heat & under some a/c asap..I live where its hot/humid & I just wait for it to pass..I dont think eating raw food has anything to do w/how people feel in summer…most people go swimming to keep cool, are more active cuz its not raining or cold or bad weather where u have to stay in so much bored stiff…people can & do eat salads & fruit in cold weather as well..
