Hello Raw Community:

This Way Of Life Seems So Right For Me. However, I Think I Over Indulge On The Almonds And Other Nuts. But, The Ease And Convenience Of Eating Raw Can Not Be Over Emphasized.

Right Now I Just Eat A Lot Of Raw Fruit And Dehydrated Fruit. Salads, Nuts, Seeds. Not Particularly Organic However, If There Is An Immediate Choice I Do Purchase Organic.

It Is Winter Time And By The Way (my Birthday 1/20) 51 Years Old, I Do Want Warm Foods Into A Raw Diet? Is It Possible? What About Teas And Coffee Are Those Things Allowed. I Really Need Direction because My Digestive System Just Loves This Way Of Eating. I Don't Know If I Will Lose Weight. I Know I Need To Lose Weight. But If I Could Just Get A Handle Of The Lifestyle I Know The Benefits Will Show In My Level Of Energy And Feeling Well.

Hi Mandella,

On the issue of warm food in a live food diet the key issue is how much you warm it. Over 37'c (i think that's about 110'f) Enzymes are destryoed and you have to draw on your life force to produce Enzymes which leads to aging. In the winter time I sometimes have warmed soups and oat groat porridge.
As far as tea and coffee is concened I warm water to the point I can still put my finger in without feeling uncomfortable. I personally don't touch caffine (over stimulating and attacks the central nervous system) and so I only use herbs for tea.

Oh by the way, you can do what you want. Eating live food is not a competition. Enjoy it, and from personal experience I would say that after a few years of live foods, the idea of eating cooked food becomes quite weird.

Love and Light
