If you listen to this over and over, you will start to understand this message, and you will begin to see what a fascinating human Dr Doug Graham is.

[@freedomisoutside]

Doug Graham is a GENIUS! That’s my whole comment. He will be remembered as one of the greats in this field one day. A guy who truly deserves his flowers.

[@jamesigo6324]

Doug is among that small group of us who have an understanding of Natural Hygiene.

I'm 20 minutes in and you couldn't pull me away. I'm so glad there's 2 hours of this amazing talk. Thank you Chef AJ, I love that you don't have a time constraint on your highly informative guests. I would love to see the results of a self experiment with raw! I would love to do it together! I'm going raw this year! Oh wait, how old is this video? I'm watching on January 30, 2023.

[@avifunnyfreerunning2618]

Hi I am inplementing more and more raw food. Ibfind it only difficult cause Inhave a 10 year old thatI cannot take into the boat. How is it going for you so far?

[@laurarauhauser2350]

How are you both doing with this? I am watching this on March 31, 2023. I am going to start 100% raw for the month of April. I can't wait to see how I feel!

[@Lonwolf.]

Raw is the best. I was on McDougall starch solution for eight years always had digestive issues, and I was always gassy. I would get constipated unless I drunk up to a gallon of water a day. after I would eat starches always felt tired and sluggish. The morning after I would feel dehydrated and tired. After I went raw l my digestion cleared up my energy increased. I didn’t have to drink so much water to be hydrated. I didn’t need as much sleep my inflammation in my joints went away. And I’m not even going to talk about weight loss. It’s next level on a raw diet. I agree with most of his advice, except for salt. If you’re eating lots of watery fruits and salads, which are mostly high water content. And you do a lot of exercise and sweating. If you’re craving something salty I think it’s very important to listen to your body. I tried eliminating all salt and it can get dangerous. If you’re consuming 150 or 200 mg of sodium my day and you’re highly active. Nana add a half a teaspoon of Redmond sea salt on my evening salad and it’s amazing fix is my salt craving and I don’t feel jittery and sluggish during my workouts

[@gracehardiman8134]

Thank you so much for your in-depth comment. I've been doing the starch solution, however, the more raw foods I eat, the more I feel better. So I am going to transition to the 80/10/10.

[@fruitascension5089]

I'm imagining what a wonderful raw food 80-10-10 chef, Chef AJ would make! AJ, please do it, and make a 80-10-10 raw recipe book! 🤩

[@vi3472]

He looks wonderful, young and vibrant! I like the 80/10/10 meal plan, which I have heard Dr T Colin Campbell cite as a desirable carb ratio. However, for me, I do not want to live on a 100% raw diet. I like cooked sweet and white potatoes and cooked vegetables. I love fruits except I get a lot of gas from apples and pears as they are high in FODMAPS and I have IBS. Anyway, I think “to each his own” when it comes to a raw diet. If he’s happy and it works, that’s great. But, not for me. It was very interesting, though. I like to hear different perspectives.

Sweet potatoes do not produce solanine, so if a sweet potato pushes up out of the ground and its tip turns green, there's no need to throw it away. The sweet potato does not have "eyes" or buds on its outer surface, and it is not started from "seed potatoes" the way regular potatoes are.

I used to get incredibly painful cramps in my inner thigh, so bad I'd be hobbling around crying. After 2 weeks of those smoothies no more cramps. I don't really understand why, I think it has as much to do with what your not eating as it does with what you are. While having the smoothies I wasn't eating junk/processed foods. I always felt full and couldn't fit the junk food in even if I wanted it! Unfortunately I've gone back to my bad habits and need to start eating healthy again.

That was a great video. If Chef AJ feels great, is able to keep her weight stable and has her health markers in check, nobody should say that she should quit eating potatoes.

[@vox.vera.vocalcoaching]

Thank you for this wonderful episode ❤️🙏 I like Dr. Graham's approach of eating fruits AND veggies. And regarding "mental problems" occurring in frutarians: even Dr. Morse, who is a proponent of the latter, admits that eating only fruits for a longer period of time, can detach you from the physical realm (because fruits have much higher frequencies than veggies). In order to be more grounded, one needs to add veggies.

Chef AJ I love you so I'm going to bring this up: You say "...but I don't prefer fruit, I prefer starch and vegetables", yet you said that all your life sweets were your go-to, your downfall, and you love making all those vegan sweets and desserts 🤔. Do you see the problem here? The problem is that you're not eating enough fruit. Sweet, juicy, ripe luscious fruits. I've been through this same predicament, and I've seen so many others do the same. Humans are frugivores. Add vegetables and tender greens and lettuces, and a very small amount of nuts and seeds.

[@jademusic1211]

I'm an ethical vegan and have considered eating this way on and off..but it's simply not practical if you're on a budget and live in colder climates. It's really a lifestyle for the privileged, imo. Many people can eat reasonably healthy and cheaply on starches no matter where they live. They can't do the same in the middle of winter when fruit is not in season, and organic produce is ridiculously expensive. If you move to places like Costa Rica, Hawaii or Florida, it makes more sense..but for those of us anywhere else who suffer through cold, frigid winters, it's not practical or cheap. In the summer it's easier to eat more fruit. There's a reason beans, potatoes and (steamed) veggies exist..for people like us!😂❤️

[@Magar6]

Completely agree. Doug does not mention this context and nuance, and it's an extremely important point. No way I am giving up my cheap rice, potatoes, beans, bread and oats. No, just no.

I love raw fruits and greens! But about the pleasure of eating it...After having had a couple of fruitbased meals, I always crave something else for dinner. Suddenly another fruit and veggie-meal isn't appealing anymore. It doesn't even taste good anymore. What's up with that?

[@cammieklund]

@Peter Rabbit i haven't had any issue meeting my calorie needs. Just use bananas as a staple. And dates/other dried fruits.

[@SSSyndrome214]

It's because a diet of fruit and greens isn't calorically dense enough to sustain you. There's nothing wrong with eating cooked starchy vegetables, grains, beans, etc. I see the other comments telling you to eat more fat or more simple carbohydrates, but it's the complex carbohydrates that satisfy us the most and the longest. Alan Goldhamer has some good talking points on this, but I suggest reading "Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human" by Richard Wrangham for the ultimate breakdown on this topic.

[@cammieklund]

@rawbirbella justthat It's a budget and accessibility issue for me. I live in the north of Sweden. It's expensive! I can't have a mono meal of mangoes that costs me 20 dollars.

@@SSSyndrome214 Yes, I know about that!😊 I don't believe that gently cooked foods are toxic at all! I don't feel my best on cooked grains and beans though so the cooked foods I include are potatoes, sweet potatoes and steamed veggies plus some mushrooms.

[@LuckyStarhun]

I really do not get this thing... if you only eat raw, there is à bunch of otherwise healthy foods you cannot eat ( mushrooms and eggplant and beans/legumes to name à few because these must be cooked otherwise they are toxic), that leads to à pretty restrictive diet and you miss out on some important nutrients. Anyway, cooking dates back to prehistoric men. Cavemen did not suffer from diabetes nor heart disease. Cooking is not the problem, food industry is the problem as in industrial plants foods are processed in à way that most nutrients are destroyed. That processing is not the same as home cooking. Eat whole, natural foods and you are good to go !

But I stopped and realized I would later eat half a papaya for my snack time. After I ate the papaya, I was happy again!! What I can do, is eat fruit morning and afternoon, and for dinner I’ll have my starch solution meal and my snack will be fruit before I go to bed. This is an experiment for myself and I’m really curious if my chronic tinnitus will some day alleviate. I’m getting this book 80 10 10! Thank you AJ!

Starch and fruit solution is the answer. Eat as much of both as you feel like. I hate being told to eat only starch and little or no fruit, and I hate being told to eat only fruit and very little or no starch. You should eat as much of either one as you feel like depending on how you feel.

Hows your tinnitus ? Im trying to figure out how to calm mine down. My body reacts to all starches so far so i have to eat lots of fruit for calories.

@@MsVivian4979 No one is talking about eating canned fruit which btw will be cooked as cans are sealed at high temps. Raw food is optimal. Humans ate cooked out of necessity as our ancestors migrated north of the equator.

@@MsVivian4979 The very assertion that people have been eating cooked food "forever" is false. We likely evolved large brains from the easy calories and phytonutrients in fruits. We would have needed big brains and fire to cook foods. And a lot of trial and error.

YES~Let’s do 10 days of raw together and perhaps on our own me can do one day at a time to a month of raw…just as an “experiment!” Let’s do this (just for fun)!!! It can’t hurt👍
