Diets Tonight

Jason asked:


Since I became a vegetarian around 2 years ago my blood pressure went down, my brain tumor shrunk .. according to the neurosurgeon and latest ct scans, I’ve only been depressed 1 time, I have more energy, and my good cholesterol went up.
All this happened after I became a vegetarian not before. There has to be some sorta correlation.

Furthermore, its been proven that non-vegetarian diets do cause high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart problems. So naturally the opposite would occur, unless you are genetically predisposed to those things, if one eats vegetarian.

Lastly, consumption of meat, mostly red meat, has been linked to heart disease and cancer. That happens because meat consumption increases levels of Homocysteine in the blood.

My neurosurgeon did nothing, nothing at all, but periodic brain scans and evaluations of the films from those scans. I cannot thank my neurosurgeon for the brain tumor being shrunk.

According to David Wolfe, a raw food specialist, you cannot over eat on a raw food diet. His claim is that because of the form as well as types of food you will eat, naturally you will regulate yourself.

In my experience I find this to be true. In fact I feel satiated more than I ever did as an omnivore, vegetarian & or vegan.
Bill, in this instance, no.
Cecil J. Tal…, I think you do not understand what a raw food diet is. Sarcasm is often a defense mechanism used by people to ridicule what they do not understand.
iltmaemc, the question implies without harmful consequence.
Stephanie S, right on, I agree.
Tall-angel, and that I will, but in a manner that best for myself, and the world.
schenzy, thank you for your support and the links you have provided. Blessings : )
AndyB, I challenge you to try it and see. When I eat raw I truly feel so full I eat suprising less than when I eat a non raw food diet.
beth inside, raw does not mean not heated, just not above 119 degree.

Someone else mentioned raw food in relation to another question earlier and I just wondered what people on a diet like that eat? Obviously raw food, but what sorts of meals do they have? Is it filling? I think I’d struggle on a diet when I didn’t cook anything.
I’m not personally going to start this diet but I was just interested in what was eaten. It’s not really for me but just curious what people eat. Thanks for the info and links.

My husband and I are both obese and need to lose 80-100 pounds each. A friend recommended a raw food diet, where you eat as much as you want without having to cook. Does anyone know where I can get info on how to begin, any supplements/vitamins that would be necessary (or how to get everything our bodies need from this type of eating), without me having to order a book?

Does anyone have any good websites where I can find like a sample menu to get some ideas, or does any vegetarians out there have anything special they like to eat as part of their diet.

V.gain asked:


I don’t want to have to construct my own diet (it seems like a lot of trouble), so where can I find a sample diet that will get me all of the nutrients/proteins I need to stay healthy? I just want something I can follow exactly without having to worry myself about if I’m getting everything I need.
