It's a great book especially for those interested in a raw food lifestyle.

[@tishdillard2609]

I have been on a cabbage soup roll, and I feel so much than I have in many years. This is along with raw vegetables/ fruits. Blood sugars are dropping daily. Brain fog is amazing

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

That's great to hear. Is your cabbage soup raw or cooked?

[@deva190]

I'm losing too much weight. Can't afford to lose anymore. For me, it is difficult to keep calories up on raw/low fat but not giving up.

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

How much fruit are you eating? What kind of fruits?

[@deva190]

@@MontgomeryHeartWellness I'm not eating any sweet fruits at all. Only lemons and tomatoes. Some berries once in a while. I thought the sweet fruits were too high in sugar.

[@liannramirez-cq3lr]

Fruit is good for you... Definitely eat more fruit... Get your banana green smoothies in with chia seeds and flax seeds 🥑

[@cherylcastillo7020]

Can you eat nuts? Try more fruits. ​@@deva190

Thank you Drs. Montgomery and Graham for the truth about grains. I ate grains last week for 4 days with my raw fruitarian diet and suffered terrible allergies 🤧 for 4 days. No more grains for me.

Cooked brown rice or cooked potatoes with nothing added to them is not tasteless. I will go so far and say there is a sweetness to their taste

Brilliant info🤗🤗🤗

Glad you liked it.

Sprouted Legumes liKe Lentils Are Great in Salads... When you sprout legumes it completely changes the molecular structure... Sprouted it is now amino acids that are Easily Digested👍

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

Great tip!

[@primrosecharles3020]

Can people with low blood pressure go with no salt ,doing raw food.thank you for caring

[@Birtee229]

How do you eat enough raw food and still have time to work? I’m raw this week for the first time. I was starving and spent massive time prepping the vegetables and eating each day.

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

Are you eating any fruit?

[@kash6175]

a question if you are lnsulin resistance a1c 6.7 can you still freely eat fruits?? Due to gout took out 90% of fruits.

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

Our patients who eat 100% raw fruits and vegetables tend to do very well eating fruit liberally. In fact, we regularly see patients being weaned off insulin eating fruit if they are eating 100% raw fruit and vegetables only.

[@nancyswanson3534]

Dr. Montgomery - do you have a recommendation for a certain ratio of fruit to vegetables or is the most important thing just to eat raw?

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

Primarily, just eat raw. Fruits for hydration. Green veggies for minerals, protein, etc.

[@liannramirez-cq3lr]

I would do Half Fruits & Half Greens ... Add the seeds to dressing or smoothies Having a juicer and a blender HELPS Tremendously❣️

[@audither]

WOULD A GREEN SMOOTHIE CONSTITUTE AS A RAW DIET?

[@hermanharper4594]

In his clinic they serve them as part of their raw detox for some people. Blended raw I would think so. I fallow Dr Brook Goldner and and that's part of her program a green smoothie Greens flax seeds fruit banana and water to the top drink everyday plus a salad everyday. Whole food plant based high fiber nutritional dense diet cover's everything. Plenty of water sleep exercise fasting detoxing everyday destress prayer and meditation if you like. Just sharing information I ran across seeking knowledge on this topic. Thanks to everyone on this journey. Awakening is happening slowly but surely for some of us. Keep sharing information. Much appreciated Dr. M.

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

That would depend on what you put in the green smoothie.

[@audither]

@@MontgomeryHeartWellness 3/4th power greens and berries for the last 1/4. Then added cinnamon, turmeric and chia seeds. Drank all 64 oz in 2 1/2 hours.

[@flattlandermontgomery1524]

When he said mutagen, I was thinking of mute meaning to diminish something. So I was thinking, mutagen means, the beginning of the end. LOL That might not be the correct translation, but it pretty much is what happens I guess.

[@liannramirez-cq3lr]

Okay Dr. Graham let's not call it DETOX but let's call it a Cleansing Reaction👍 I like both doctors but Dr Graham has to be a little bit on the fruity side... And as far as the acidosis that occurs when you eat fruits THAT is because the fruit is breaking up all the lining of the acidic undigested Foods in your system.... So just to take a fourth of teaspoon of baking soda in a little water do quickly buffer the acid residue of the fruit is cleansing and breaking through and you'll be fine. You'll get more ALKALINE. Continue with the program but eat a little bit more GREENS. Green's high content of chlorophyll has an extreme alkaline effect on your bloodstream 👍

[@Auntkekebaby]

My body talks to me every time I go off raw, even when I do a 2 minute sauté. I'm still cheating but I know that it's not the ideal way to eat. "Browning" or cooking is killing what you're trying to get from the food. Regarding 42:25 the mention of high fat/low insulin function is VERY interesting to me. I THOUGHT that I was eating healthy when I was on Keto. Lean body, moderate exercise. Zero sugar, bread, pasta, rice in my diet but I was pre-diabetic and low blood oxygen. Maybe, that's what happened. Idk.

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

Now you know why keto isn't healthy.

[@Auntkekebaby]

@@MontgomeryHeartWellness I figured and got off Keto immediately. Mostly raw vegan now. I saute veggies here and there.

Ezekiel 47:12 Fruit is for Meat, and the Leaves is for Medicine or healing. Revelation 22:2 The Leaves of the tree is for the healing of the nations.

[@sashanealand8315]

The other problem iis sedentary people cannot digest fruit and vegetables well, they can digest grains and cooked food. Yes atheletes can digest raw fruits and vegetables, you have to move in order to digest them though. We dont have an athletic society of people we have a sedentary one. Thats why if sedentary people eat raw fruit and vegetables they get indigestion and gas bloating.

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

We've seen many relatively sedentary patients benefit greatly from raw food.

[@sashanealand8315]

animals in the wild dont live as long as snimals in captivity. The main reason why wild snimals are healthier is because they are young.

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

Which animals are you speaking of?

[@gazisher2372]

Two hours is too long.

I wish it was longer! I can never hear enough of this
