Re: Kristina no longer eating what she recommends in the book. She just uploaded "What I eat when I'm sick" where she makes a "soup" containing 3/4 cup of cashews AND 2 heaping tbsp tahini! And garlic, salt, and even onion! So clearly, very different from what she recommends in the book. Also, she calls the soup "light" even though the cashews and tahini alone are over 700 calories. And she says the salt adds extra flavor, even though in the book she says salt is "redundant" because veggies taste so salty lol
Veggies tasting salty is a clear sign of malnutrition!!
I think she should speak on this because she obviously did change it up and she should take a stance on it. Profiting from the book still is kind of crappy to do and she should take it down.
I have a question. Is eating meat in your opinion unnatural or is it because you have the resources and the ability not consume animal products the reason you are vegan?
Personally I am a vegetarian because I dont agree with many farming practices, but I dont have problem with the use of animal products if they are produced in a non wasteful manner. Also as a studying Forestry major I am more concerned about what the long term sustainable diet is and maintaining balance in our ecosystem. So if that means eating a vegan diet I'm cool with that but if people have the option to eat meat I'm cool with that as well.
Eh, still a notch up from her low fat 80/10/10 approach--she's eating more fat and protein, which is a step in a positive direction!
I just feel bad that raw vegans don’t eat roasted veggies. Deadass nothing better than some roasted sweet potato fries or some roasted cauliflower and broccoli.
Rachel Phelps roasted cauliflower is lit the best
The people addicted/"habituated" to a high sodium intake (or to hot spicy foods) say that same sort of things about those who never eat salt-added foods (or spicy foods).
I hated roasted vegetables. Prefer them *rawwww* !
Rachel Phelps roasted broccoli with a lil nutritional yeast 🤤
Or roasted zucchini and tomatoes
I’m a college student in an anthropology class, and know her claim that raw food is “natural” for humans is factually incorrect. When you look at human evolution, our ancestors become more and more gracile once they begin the use of fire to cook their foods. Fire results in a softer diet, which contributes to smaller teeth, smaller jaws, and different digestive tracts...all of the traits that we see in the emergence of Homo sapiens around 200kya. We literally evolved as a species dependent upon cooking food and using tools, and to say otherwise is antithetical to the entirety of known human evolution.
yeah exactly! In fact, our brain evolution was only possible due to a reduction in out gut, which was only possible because we started cooking and eating higher fat and protein diets. Our intestines aren't the same as the ones of our ancestors anymore, we're not carb-burning machines. Our large intestine and our ability to cleave amylose (so starch basically) is not as good as the ones of monkeys. Our intestines can't handle that many (raw) carbs, starches, let alone fiber. It's not how this works. :'D
That's very interesting, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have a good friend who always tells me humans should only being eating fruit, that that's the best diet for us. I've never fully agreed, but not spoken my opinion.
@@risuhana I'm not sure where you have been educated but much of what you have said is not true. For one, our microbiota are able to break down fibre, and two our species has evolved to digest starches much better than other non-primates. Our species has evolved away from chimpanzee physiology in favour of cooked foods which are safer and more easily digestible.
Molly that’s true but there’s much more behind all of that. If we would have the same digestive system as chimpanzees we would still be chimpanzees :) but we are not! We are able to digest fiber with our body’s microorganisms, yes, but the starch needs to be cleaved by enzymes which we are producing but not enough to break down if the majority of our food sources are starches. It’s limited, so the rest of the starches will pass through your colon and cause digestive issues as the microorganisms eat the rest of the starches and produce acids, gas and other products within their own digestion. And that’s uncomfortable for us, can cause digestive issues and also a weak gut barrere which can then cause the microorganisms and other things to get into our blood and do a lot of harm. Our gut is similar to the ones of our primate ancestors, yes, but it’s not the same! Our brain evolved on fat and protein, not on starches. Starches and raw carbohydrates are hard to break down and take a lot of energy in form of ATP, which is needed to give us energy. So if we keep only eating that, we need to eat a huge amount of food to give us enough energy, which isn’t practical or good for our digestion. For some people it may work, but for the majority it doesn’t. Fat is easier to use for brain evolution as it gives us more easy available energy. And protein is needed for tissue repair, muscle building and more.
@@risuhana Hana S our bodies have physiological adaptation to be able to digest starch much better than non-human primates such as chimpanzees. Our use of fire chronologically coincides with our increase in brain size (which runs on glucose, not fats). Starch consumption probably increased dramatically around this time as cooked starches are incredibly dense sources of glucose. The human genus saw increases in copy numbers of the amylose genes which we can track back through time to show this gene expansion occurred around the same time we started using cooking around 1-2 million years ago. Amylose is an enzyme which turns cooked starch into smaller sugars, and specialised enzymes in our small intestine turn them into glucose where they are absorbed. This is much more developed than chimpanzees which did not innovate cooking. Protein and fat are important sources of nutrition, but cooking likely increased the variety of food sources humans could eat: legumes, tubers, grains. Having more copies of amylase has been shown to affect how much energy you can extract from starch, proving to be an evolutionary advantage.
Your other point about starches being indigestible and causing "acids and gases" to form thanks to bacterial fermentation is actually a good thing. Starch unable to be digested is fermented by good bacteria which convert it into short chain fatty acids which have main roles such as cancer prevention, appetite regulation, insulin signalling, and helping protect against bad bacteria. Finally, starch is an excellent source of energy which is dense and easily digestible. I don't think raw diets have a place in human species nowadays since cooking has allowed us to obtain a lot of energy from starch rich foods. Our brains run on glucose, every cell in our body preferentially runs of glucose given the choice. To say we have evolved to use fat is not taking into consideration our history and physiology. It's harder to extract energy from protein, and fat burning is a less efficient process compared to straight up glucose. We have a whole organ dedicated to producing insulin, which shuttles glucose in and out of our cells. Moreover, to suggest billions of humans are actually physiologically adapted to burning fat for energy is hilarious considering starch constitutes 50+% of daily energy worldwide

vegans need all the help they can get when it comes to digestion
I live in middle Europe and the idea that I would be supposed to eat only (mostly tropical) fruits seems bizzare. Not only woulf it be ridiculously expensive to eat anything but apples and maybe pears or tangerines, but it doesnt even feel 'natural'. I mean, for the last few thousand years my ancestors have been eating fruits and vegetables native to Europe and all of sudden Im supposed to start eating tons of tropical fruit ship halfway across the world? hmm..
also it's not environmentally friendly with all the CO2 produced to ship and trasport the fruits etc. I'm glad this scam diet phenomenon it's not so big in European countries
Yeah, a "natural" diet would depend on where someone is located geographically. I'm Brazilian, and it still doesn't feel natural to me to eat all that fruit xD As much as these foods are cheaper here, even the natives on this land don't eat like that.
A raw diet doesn't have to rely heavily on fruits (in fact, it's even unadvisable). I was eating raw for years and during that time the only fruit I consumed everyday were apples and tomatoes. There are lots of vegetables more nutritious than fruit and that can be consumed raw (e.g., broccoli, cabbage, kale, arugula, cauliflower, spinach, chard, corn salad/mache, escarole, parsley, coriander, summer and winter squashes, cucumber, pumpkin, flaxseeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, hazelnuts, garlic, leeks, onion, turnip, carrots, _Capsicum_ peppers).
@ my stomach hurts just at the thought
Same in Canada. We can get tropical fruits in the summer sometimes but they're very expensive. If I were raw vegan my only options would be tree fruits (apples, pears, plums, etc.) carrots, and greenhouse-grown tomatoes and cucumbers. But that's it.
I don't want to sound like an asshole but Fully Raw sounds like... an eating disorder??? The obsession with getting to eat huge amounts of food is so reminiscent to me of binge eating disorder language and the preoccupation with 'zero cal' foods. I don't know how someone can look at this eating style and find it psychologically healthy.
Also there's some anthropological evidence that cooking foods is what allowed human beings to develop our brains and become the dominant intelligent species we are today. Or at least this is what I learned in a physiological psychology course when discussing brain growth over our species evolution timeline. So it's funny to me that Kristina would point out that no other species cooks food when no other species has the level of intelligence that humans have.
When I was in high school I was vegan but was also dealing with an eating disorder and I can definitely attest to this. I wasn’t fully raw or fruitarian but I was eating a ton of fruit and boy oh boy, I got SO MANY CAVITIES. SO. MANY.
Sorry PWAS...I posted my comment before I read yours...I agree this way of eating smells like BED.
I have binge eating disorder and I agree completely about the language. The part where she wrote about being able to eat 6 cups of chili is something that reminds me a lot of the language used in support groups. I'm working on recovering and not gonna lie I find her language kinda triggering.
I think it's more orthorexia than binge eating disorder.
@@morganwaas4868 I use to have super disordered eating (clinically I didn't qualify for anorexia due to my weight at the time, but, you know, the mindset and behavior was there) and I use to frequent a looooot of 'proana' online groups and everything Swayze was saying just brought me right back to that head space. I don't even necessarily think that Kristina realizes what she's saying or suggesting. But yeah. She uses pretty triggering language/ideas- especially if you've ever suffered from an ED.
Also sending you lots of positive vibes in recovery from BED.
"Banana nicecream tastes like ice cream"
- "Maybe, if you never had ice cream before" THIS. 😂 Preach, lol.
I mean I love banana nicecream but for sure it ain't ice cream :d
I like banana ice cream, but...yeah.
Aw I love nicecream even if it isn't ice cream
I only time I've made banana nicecream just as good as ice cream was with chocolate hemp milk and chocolate peanut butter. It was so fatty and delicious
Nicecream, even without anything extra added, like cocoa powder or raspberries, is better than any of the vegan ice-creams available to me. :/
My biggest WTF with her diet plan was to eat an enormous plate of fruit WHILE making your dinner salad. Just what I want to do when I have a belly full of oranges: eat 2 heads of kale drenched in a dressing made from even more oranges.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A+ comment
The last thing I would want when it was dinner time on this diet was even more fruit. I thought there was something wrong with me for finding this expectation that you would start dinner with fruit, to be impossible to follow. It was only later that I found that pretty much everyone felt this way.
Dear Lord. Reading that sentence gave me an uncomfortable feeling in my belly
😂😂
I'm still traumatized at the thought of giant watery, no salt, no fat salads that I got so tired of chewing on.. As a result I can't eat salads as a full meal anymore, only as a side.
No salt no oils ...wtf..
Thanks for the video - I'm glad some people enjoy a raw food diet but omg I can't imagine eating this way lol

When my anorexia was at its worst I used mostly fully raw recepies. If that doesn't tell you something I don't know what will.
Me too! Glad we're out of that now!! X
Same. when I was modelling this raw diet was very common among us, bc it's like a hydrating way to slowly starve oneself, and the high beta carotene gives your skin a nice glow. But after awhile you become deficient in iron and B-12 and feel like you're dying. That happened to all of the models who stuck with this for any amount of time
Me too. I've struggled with anorexia for 12 years now. Eveytime I slip into a relapse, raw veggies are the only thing I will consume
@Kale Ling lol get some vegetables to chew on
You're supposed to eat 2000 cal a day according to Fully Raw Kristina. I hope you feel better because dieting is not the way to go. I totally understand where you're coming from.

Yes! Where I live it easily gets to below ten degrees Celsius in winter. Fuck eating cold food every day through that.

A raw vegan day for me is when depression kicks my ass and I can't be arsed to cook and eat fruit and veggies all day...
See? Raw veganism helps with depression. Proven. /s. I think everyone here understands that. Sometimes you just wanna eat and don't care if it actually tastes good or anything, just need that nourishment.
@@sarabeth641 🤣🤣🤣 truth. Like, nah fam, your diet enables mental health issues
Same af
Exactly how I feel!! I try to eat vegan, or at least vegetarian, as much as I can but if I'm eating nothing but raw fruits and veggies it's probably because I'm in a rut and can't bring myself to cook (honestly my favourite hobby). I'm blessed with my flatmates who recognise that's as unhealthy behaviour in me these days and they will call me out!!!
Me as hell
I got a horrible case of candida from eating a raw vegan diet. It screwed up my digestion, I had chronic diarrhea for weeks (and still today don’t have strong stools), and had so much gas and indigestion that some days I couldn’t even leave the house. I thought that it would eventually smooth out, but I had to quit the diet because it was ruining my life. While I do advocate for more veggies and fruits in your diet, please don’t ever try to rely just on raw produce alone. It could really mess your shit up (literally)
Ayuveda says this and it's anceint raw weakens digestion in excess. Its for detoxing only!
@@YogaBlissDance Hun theres no such thing as "detoxing". your organs do that for you and if they arn't then you don't need a raw diet you need a doctor.
Same j got a terrible fungal infection on my mouth, angular chelitis and bloating and gas so bad I had to take some days of school off put of the.. Smell reason. It mostly was when I tried to make a raw pumpkin pie though. Never ever eat raw pumpkin because omg. I had to leave class

I tried a raw food diet for a brief period of time and it was basically like having another part-time job!
Omg so relatable
Me too. It was hugely expensive too.

I'm so tired of this raw/restrictive/pseudoscience bull. I got lured into the cult as a strong headed 12 year old trying to get healthy, and ended up screwing myself over before my life had even begun. Thanks to people like free lee, Kristina, and social media influencers in general, I have juvenile osteoporosis(fractured 7 vertebra in my spine-calcium and vitamin d deficiency), depression, reminence of an eating disorder, and body dis morphia. I can't blame all my problems on them, but they sure are good a manipulating young individuals. luckily, i'm still very young, and have learned a lot more about nutrition in my own research. I hope to build the muscle ive lost back, and build strong bones before my time is up. its been a bitch to deal with, but if i can be determined enough to dig myself a grave, i can be determined enough to climb out. at least it has made me more independent and actually interested in learning about the body and dietetics. OK, sorry for the rant, i just needed to let off some steam.

Veganism appealed to me in the first place because I don't respond well with animal products, but the only info I could find about it at the time were cheese puffs like Kristina and freelee, ect. they triggered my ED and obsessive behavior. Luckily, i got out and began doing what actually felt good and was sustainable. i just didnt get out soon enough.

@@Darswar4 :'D for real. Kristina once claimed she studied ''Health science, raw food and fasting'' at Rice University. Someone called them and they said the Uni doesn't offer a programmme like that and that they don't even approve of raw vegan diets. So, that much about raw science..
Why do these people on extreme “clean” and “sanctimonious” diets (well according to them), look so unhealthy and prematurely aged?
they dont believe in sunscreen either, which is the best topical anti aging treatment.
They don't consume enough fats, calories, or collagen-building foods.
Cooking food is a *natural* unique behavioural adaptation humans developed that increases our chances of survival.
The fact that an adaptation is unique to a particular species doesn’t make it any less natural.
It doesnt mean raw food isnt healthier either. Ever heard of digestive leukocytosis?
Exactly. Cooking is a form of outside digestion. Primates and herbivores have huge guts and spend 95% of their time eating.
I hate the "no other animal does this so humans must be wrong" logic. Humans do almost everything that no other animal does: architecture, transportation, medicine, surgery, agriculture etc. She could not eat this way without agriculture, that human-only endeavor. Besides, I read an article once that said that cooking food was the single most important discovery in the evolution of humans, because it allowed us to get more calories and nutrients, and grow bigger and better brains.
You’re right that argument by analogy is flawed. However you just made your own argument by analogy, which is also flawed. What does human transportation have to do with human digestion? Saying that “it might represent a problem that humans are the only animals that eat cooked food”, is a valid argument if you accept the premise that the human digestive system is probably similar to at least some animals. To disprove this idea conclusively you must prove that the human digestive system is different from all other animals in precisely the way required to benefit more from cooked foods than raw foods. I don’t know of any such proof. But I do know that the gut microbiome is very sensitive. In a world where we eat meat most of our lives and are treated routinely with antibiotics, I can totally see people having gastrointestinal distress when attempting to eat purely raw foods. But I’m not sure if that means humans are incapable of doing so in general. We may very well be under the right circumstances.
I remember peeing every 15 minutes at work because of those stupid 40 ounce banana smoothies I used to drink for breakfast. 🤦 Can't believe I ever drank smoothies that large. Now I get full on a 8 ounce 1 banana smoothie.
Banana or Banana smoothies in the morning gave me to worst stomach ache of all time. I would spend half the morning at work, doubled over in pain and constantly in the restroom.
The worst thing about banana smoothies were that they made me hungry. 10 minutes after I drank it I craved something hearty. So I can just agree that this is the dumbest thing ever 🤦🏻♀️
@@ummesalmatahir6745 In the Caribbean you are actually warned against having bananas first thing in the morning!
Haley Omg so right 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Cleo Emerald the fact that I was hungry after a ten banana smoothie is ridiculous. Like I had over 1000 kcal and I craved eating something like some whole meal crisp bread
I know an anorexic girl who uses “raw vegan” recipes to get away with not meeting her needed calorie intake. Her family thinks “omg it’s so healthy look how HUGE that salad is!” But in reality she’s only eating about 400 calories a day and weighs 80 pounds
that's so sad :/
I think many of us just see fruits and veggies and think "omg so healthy" because we're always told to eat more fruit and veggies (and yes a lot of people could do with more produce and fiber in their diet). But that's directed at people who already meet or even exceed their needs for calories, protein, fats etc. Like the people who defend those youtube health vloggers who feed their kids nothing but fruit smoothies, salads, rice and potatoes who don't seem to understand that colour and produce doesn't equal healthy/adequate :/
Yes. This is what I mean by "eating healthy food isn't automatically a healthy diet".
That is so sad, their family needs to be informed! Plus salad isn't the only way of being healthy ;/ like there are so many things the body needs to function well
Yeah... I once suggested that Kristina go on a normal person's budget, living paycheck to paycheck and show in real time how to eat her diet on that money. I did make a comment about it was nice she's always had her family's money. (I do realize she has some income of her own now, but I know she didn't always, and her family has money). Well she got so angry and said "yeah its my money and I support my family and when I was in college I ate fully raw on a budget of thirty dollars a week." and there is obviously so many lies in that statement of hers.
Oh wow. FRK responded in anger back to you..lol....I always wondered how much her budget was I food
I mean I eat normally one raw meal a day but like. Not because it’s a raw meal. Like who doesn’t love a salad or a smoothie? I just can’t imagine how you would get enough protein. I live off tofu stir fry and black beans.
God I LOVE black beans. I can't imagine not having black beans in my life
I live off of peanut butter toast and veggie burgers but I can never pass up a bomb salad 🤤
They think protein is bad because it’s “acidic” 🙄. I can’t even fathom thinking that way.
Y Viscariello I have stomach acid problems(I have way to much and a poor coating on my pipes) and he’s animal protein affected it a lot. That’s what originally made me stope eating meat (then I found out all the other reasons why meat is so bad) but I’ve never had an issue with beans, tofu, etc ever giving me acid issues.
@@yviscariello5755 I can't either! It makes no sense and plus when I only eat fruit for a meal I get super shakey and feel awful. I dunno how they do it 🤷♀️
I would not be even a little bit surprised if Kristina ate cooked food. She's built her brand around being raw, virtually guaranteeing she can never admit to eating cooked food, which is really too bad.
Oh yeah she's definitely been off the diet. Remember when she gained a bunch of weight a while ago? Yeah, that kind of weight gain is very unlikely on a raw diet...
I was going to say the same thing. I wish someone could catch her out like Rawvana being seen on video eating fish.
After gojiman video, I also doubt that she eats that way, she looks healthy and what she claims she eats is not.
Something doesn't add up with what she eats in combination with the exercise she claims to do...running 7-8miles or intense cardio in addition to an active day. Most people who ate what she does would be quite slim without any exercise, but then add in the exercise and it seems to be a thermodynamic miracle that she remains at a healthy weight.
I commented the exact same thing. I agree that she's eating cooked food and is simply building her brand as "fully raw." It's nonsense. Technically a raw food diet can be like 70% raw - there's no reason for anyone to eat 100% raw. There's certainly no reason for anyone to restrict salt. I don't believe Kristina eats the way she claims. There's not enough time in the day to chew that much food unless you're able to eat nonstop and you don't have a job or want to do anything except shop, wash, chop and chew. I do think that adding whole foods and eating up to 1 meal raw per day can be great, but 100% raw for over 1 week will cause most people's health to deteriorate.
I somehow managed to eat a raw food diet for 6 straight months back in 2012. I'm not joking, toward the end I would dream of cooked food every single night. Especially bean burritos. I finally came to my senses; if I'm dreaming about bean burritos and garlicky green beans, I should probably just make them and eat them. Six months is still a long time, but I'm glad that was the end for me.
Bean burritos and garlicky green beans sounds so good 😍
I ate a raw food diet for years and I don't think yours was any great feat, frankly. I didn't even try that diet on purpose, I simply was cooking less and less often until I wasn't cooking at all for months in a raw. And I stopped cooking regularly because at that time I was putting on weight so not cooking meals was an easy way to eat less food, and also because of laziness since in my case cooking required more effort and time than eating all the food raw (convenience foods and other processed foods have been out of my plate since the early 1990s). Likewise, I gave up baking bread. When people like Swayze Foster claim how hard, time-consuming and expensive for them it was to stay on a raw diet I'm not sure whether they're lying through their teeth or they were doing something terribly wrong (such as living on exotic fruits, sprouting all sort of seeds or gorging on kombucha and smoothies).
@ If you were eating this diet for weight loss, then not meeting caloric needs for a time was okay for you. For people already at a healthy weight, being on a diet that causes you to lose weight indefinitely is very unhealthy. Swayze is saying that if you want to meet the recommended caloric intake and ingest all the nutrients you need, it's very difficult and expensive on a raw food diet. The fact that you lost weight with so little effort supports her point that eating a ton of food on a raw diet will still result in lower calories ingested and shows that you probably had a very calorie-restricted diet.
@@monkiram: _"For people already at a healthy weight, being on a diet that causes you to lose weight indefinitely is very unhealthy."_
- I didn't say I was losing weight. In fact, for a while I even gained a few kilograms of weight on a 100% raw diet but probably not as quick as otherwise. I didn't lose any significant weight over the period I was on a 100% raw diet, I already had a similar weight before. To lose weight I had to eat less food.
*Momera:* _"Swayze is saying that if you want to meet the recommended caloric intake and ingest all the nutrients you need, it's very difficult and expensive on a raw food diet."_
- As I said above, either Swayze doesn't know what she's talking about or she's lying through her teeth. And it's false that a raw diet has to be expensive. In fact, it's much cheaper than any diet heavily based on meat, fish/seafood, eggs, cheese and other dairy (i.e., the standard Western diet). Granted, a diet based on cooked potatoes, boiled rice and pasta, cooked legumes (beans, lentils, peas, chickpeas), sliced bread, onions and canned tomato would be even cheaper but also less healthy, less enjoyable and less satisfying (I find relaxing chewing tough foods, if all the foods in a meal are soft I get anxious). Living on animal products is actually quite expensive (except for perhaps cow's milk). Most people compensate that expense by complementing their animal foods with the cheapest foods available such as potatoes, bread, flour, pasta, sugar, vegetable oil and some canned or frozen vegetables.
*Momera:* _"… shows that you probably had a very calorie-restricted diet."_
- The only foods I missed were cooked legumes (I'm not fond of sprouting seeds) including soy products, cooked cereals (rice, barley, oat, rye, corn), some grain-like seeds (buckwheat, quinoa), baked artichokes, summer squashes and eggplant, and baked sweet potatoes, and that's it. That's why nowadays now and then I still cook some food (usually legumes with something else) or buy some food already cooked (mostly soy milk and tofu). Instead of on 100% raw diet over the last couple of years I may have been on a 80 or 90% raw diet (what is still considered as a "raw" diet by dieticians).

The volume of food some raw vegans eat in one sitting is just ridiculous. It seems like people don't know you can die if you eat too much.
It has nothing to do with veganism but what scarred me forever was a picture of a bulimic girl lying next to the toilet after she had died from ruptured stomach cause she ate too much :(
Stretching your stomach to fit more raw food can end badly
When I read your first to sentence I had to think about that girl immediately! It was devastating to see her like that but it's the reality of what overeating can do.
Count me in as someone who didn't know that was a thing! YIKES
Wait what?!
Hi guys, I am a final year medical student: please keep in mind that this bulimic girl almost definitely was inducing vomiting when this happened. Vomiting greatly increases the pressure in the stomach and esophagus; stretching the stomach just by eating too much would NOT cause a rupture. It's also incredibly rare for vomiting to cause the stomach to rupture.
There are many cases of bulimics and alcoholics developing esophageal tears (called Mallory-Weiss tears) from *recurrent* and *frequent* episodes of vomiting. These are tears to the surface of the esophagus and not a full rupture. Much less common is Boerhaave syndrome which is a rupture of the esophagus and has the same causes as Mallory-Weiss tears (frequent vomiting). Again, this is very rare. Neither of these conditions would result from vomiting once or twice due to illness, so don't be worried. You only need to be worried if you induce vomiting frequently or are an alcoholic who vomits frequently.

The only people I heard of who can literally eat till the stomach explodes.
Their full/stop satiation signal doesn`t work, no sensation of pain when overeating - always hungry no matter how much they eat - to explain it simply
A horrible genetic disorder.
Thank you for calling out unhealthy vegans BEFORE their inevitable "veganism almost killed me (totally not clickbait)" video.
I mean you can kill yourself just eating crisps (chips) on a vegan or vegetarian or whatever diet. You can kill yourself eating dumb in lots of ways, I really dislike how people don't take that into account.
I have been vegan for 26 years - BTW I am raw vegan 🌱
@@heather6264 how long have you been raw vegan?
@@1MSubsNovideos Most of the time I guess, wasn't counting.
There is no way she follows her own plan. She would have no time for blogging, and would be bloated for half of the day from digesting 5 lbs. of salad.
"5 lbs. of salad" is 4.65 lb water. Try again.
@ 4.65 pounds of water is neither natural nor healthy.
Once youre used the lifestyle your body wont bloat so much! I used to bloat big time and couldnt eat enough since i wasnt used to such fiber rich raw food, but its gotten better in time. Now cooked foods are to blame when i bloat since im not used to added salts and such lol. Fruits and veggies aren't to blame-- if you bloat a lot its just a sign that your body is chronically dehydrated (most people are and i mean no offense when i say that. Fruits hydrate even more than plain water bc the simple sugars and vitamins help with absorption so once you become hydrated enough, the bloating will become less and less of an occurrence)
Kristina makes GORGEOUS meals. Visually stunning. Her desert recipes are very good, and I like how they don't use added sugars.
I sprinkle her recipes in with more traditional meals for my family. The bright colors are very appealing people like my father in law with dementia. With that said, I don't think that a raw only diet is sustainable due quantities and it's no going to hit all nutritional bases.
Cronometer says different...have you tried it?

its kinda weird how people can publish books with misinformation about diets which directly affect our health without any consequences. Like Freele for example
Or like this very video.
@ true loll
This is an insane diet. Sounds like an eating disorder :(
Bianka Toth how is that an eating disorder if your still eating?
@@yvette3970 Um what. Everyone eats or else they would die. People with anorexia, bulimia, orthorexia or binge eating disorder eat too. The point of an ED is, your eating is disordered.
The main reason I can't do "fully raw"?
Left to my own devices, I can and have eaten pineapple until there are sores in my mouth. For real. I would think of a way to justify eating pineapple until that enzyme in it had digested my face away.
I have burnt my aesophagus with too much pineapple on more than one occasion 😂
I actually like when you talk about "When [you] Were Raw" A lot of ex vegans are now talking about how eating that way is likely what destroyed their digestion and still is affecting them years after they stopped eating that way. I wonder how you made it out with your digestion intact if this is the case! Ha! I went vegan 14 years ago and have never done raw because...I need beans and wheat!
She talked about that a little bit in her response to Bonny Rebecca and how her digestion was terrible for a pretty long time until she took some digestive enzymes.
Right! I have actually started on veganism on rt4 (how dumb that was). And my bloating was absolutely terrible. I have developed a bunch of other issues, including hairloss too. Now all of the issues are gone , but bloating is still there :(
Yeah as the previous poster said she apparently used Bean-o or Beanzyme for quite a while to help her digestion! Maybe using those enzymes gave her microbiome the chance to repopulate and rebalance itself.
Everyone reacts differently to food, the high fibre, various compounds and acidity of raw veg can irritate the digestive tract of many people. The gut biome can have profound effects on how well food is absorbed and how it makes you feel, dietary changes affect the populations of bacteria that help us process food. Partly why its common for new vegans to complain about bloating, gas, irregularity. Another thing that wipes out a lot of vegans is chronic deficiencies in key nutrients, things like B12, K2 and D are too low in most vegitarians and worse in vegans due to ignorance and food philosophy. The 'all natural' fruitarians and raw vegans would have an inbuilt aversion to supplementation because its like artificial/refined and sold by pharmaceutical companies; who are evil by default. Its way worse in raw vegans because their food is so nutrient sparse and harder to digest to begin with, about the only way to fit the volume needed down is blending which can further irritate digestive problems. If you were to forgo that measure and chew it all you would ruin your teeth very quickly. Finally many raw vegans being highly ideological could be intolerant to the plants they eat but continue to eat them out of faith and denial of the effects. There are many ways a diet can leave you with serious problems.
I dont eat fully raw, just vegan. but beans and grains can be sprouted, and it's actually healthy and better for digestion. But we dont leave in the 19th century and all have root cellars so it's not practical for everyone to keep beans and grains in a dark damp jar for a week. There are actually a lot of foods that we all normally cook, that can still be eaten "raw", it's just that they are sprouted and soaked.
Even beans dont need to be cooked, you can just soak them for a few days. I cook my stuff, but just an fyi for anyone interested.
I went into a RAGE when I took biochemistry and in lab, we created a buffer system and I learned about the blood's buffer system. I straight believed the lies vegans told me about acidic and alkaline foods, but you cannot fight the FACTS like chemistry! THANK YOU SWAYZE
Thank you for talking about this. I developed an eating disorder from the restriction associated with this 80 10 10 garbage. I tried so hard to be like those skinny raw people that I almost killed myself. I followed her for a year and all I gained was mental illness and the runs. You’re right, people who are not registered dietitians should not be telling people how to eat.
I'll sit here patiently waiting for your book. I honestly feel like a book from your perspective will help normalizing veganism and make it easier for those who toy with the idea take that leap. Your voice can change everything.
But she is all for not selling diets/diet advise/books if you're not a certified nutritionist ;)
Yeah but it's not only nutrition it's the perspective of a person who normalizes veganism.
@@brittpower She should honestly complete a nutrition degree. She probably already has taught herself most things, she might as well get a title out of it
It is also scary to me that she and others offer retreats. ( for alot of money! ) She isn't qualified to do so and it is a scary thought that people trust a random influencer.
I serious cringe when she makes anything "alfredo". Nothing you have put in this goddamn sauce is even near the flavour of alfredo sauce.

Mister Sarcastic, I just read the article you posted a link to and it is filled with a lot of misinformation. I am a medical student, and though this website appears to be run by a doctor, to say that she is heavily cherry picking of research would be a huge understatement. She discounts the large volumes of research that show diets with more vegetables are healthier and that red meat contributes to disease on the grounds that dietary research as a whole is lacking, but then goes on to give no evidence for her own theory that more meat and less vegetables is healthy. You will be very very hard-pressed to find a doctor that will tell you that vegetables are unhealthy and this lady appears to be very much in the minority. A lot of the theory behind what she says is true, but the conclusions she comes to are completely and wildly far-fetched as well as her interpretation and explanation of the literature.
Lol SAME 😆
Just thinking about eating 5 mangos for lunch makes me sick, I can't imagine eating this way.
I have a weird feeling that Fully Raw Kristina might secretly already be eating cooked food. It wouldn’t shock me if we had a reveal like Rawvana eating fish (where Kristina is in some pic eating, gasp, cooked lentils or something.)
She’d probably just make a response video about how the cooked lentils cured her of a medical emergency. Like when she claimed she recovered from a black widow spider bite by eating only watermelon.
@@kristinfrey8088 yeah but in this case cooked lentils may actually legit be a cure to a medical emergency
You mean like Freelee secretly getting face work, while preaching an all natural, no "beauty duty" lifestyle to her female followers?
When I was single and childless, I tried doing a raw vegan diet for a few months. It was so expensive, for just me, it was about $400 a month. We area family of 4 and spend $400 a month for all of us a month
Freudian slip at 20:13 - accidentally said “LIE” instead of “DIET” 😂
Seems more like li (... festyle), than lie...
Legend has it that kale is best in a mysterious kale seitan recipe that has been lost to the ages....
She gave the recipe kinda in either a what I ate today or q&a a few months ago. Check out the Kale Seitan recipe UA-cam- the channel petitioned forever and finally got to make it and rest after FOR FREAKING EVER. 😂
I think it’s funny because human evolution took off after food was being more routinely cooked.
700 dollars a month for food? oh my god, thats my entire monthly budget, apartment rent and all bills lol

You can also check out Kristina’s book at the library for free! That’s how I checked it out. All I got from it were different smoothie combo ideas, I can’t remember the rest cause it was too impractical.
Jesus, $700?! My best friend feeds her husband (who works in the plants and is a hungry man), her 4 kids (3 of which are boys), and herself on like $500 a month.
And still thats a on the higher financial side. Eating healthy is not that cheap but its not 20 bucks a day lol
Yeah, it’s living in Lala Land.

I feel like only rich people with a lot of time can do a fully raw diet. Eating this way would probably cost at least a 1000 where I live.
mona floma ikr! I’m yet to see/meet anyone (youtuber or otherwise) who eats this way and holds down a standard, commuter, 30-40hr/wk, full time job. It’s as though the diet becomes the profession, and not in a good (qualified) way 🤨

@@oceana3070, the same goes for vegan diets. How many vegans with "a standard, commuter, 30-40hr/wk, full time job" post videos on UA-cam about their diets?

Zephyr López Cervilla because UA-cam is their career, not just vegans, almost all bigger you tubers do that
@@elliemurphy5505 Yes. I think so many vegans I watch on here make most of their money from youtube and sponsors. One lady has a bf on here who does videos with her and he also works part time for Vegan Cuts....but they seem privileged and rich...her parents are also vegan and live in Los Angeles. None of these vegan youtubers are poor.
Just posting a coment to help the UA-cam algorithm to promote you, as you are the most reasonable vegan youtuber that provides very useful information.
I had my mother, who is a dietitian, watch through some of the "What I eat in a day" videos from the fully raw group of youtubes. She got about 2 minutes into most of them and the first thing out of her mouth was about the complete dissregard of the "size" of the meal(s). I think her exact words were "Holy $**t thats a lot of liquid for breakfast," quickly followed by a "Ain't nobody got time for all that food prep."
Buying fresh fruit in bulk, how could you consume it all before it rots. Especially since you can't preserve anything.
I really enjoy half a watermelon for breakfast during the warmer months or an acai bowl, but that's as far as I go with RAW. I love LOVE potatoes, rice, quinoa, millet, and oats way to much !
You can eat oats in a raw diet
I want to see someone eat $2 of rice in one meal
Here it could be 6 pounds . Plus beans could be as cheap as 3 cans for a dollar . I can’t imagine making all that quantity for just one person.
@@MariaRodriguez-hb4ix So I did the maths and it would be ~10000 kcal. Now, that is for sure the 10000 kcal challenge taken to a whole new level...
Valeria Vagapova I won’t even dare . I could cook all that rice ( with 3 cans of beans ) only for a family reunion. Even when we were 7 at home ( my parents, 4 siblings and me ) . I made about 1 1/2 pounds of rice per meal . And one can of beans with some added veggies.
Are you aware that most of the rice sold in the market is highly "polluted" with arsenic? No wonder it's so cheap.
BTW, corn is actually much more productive and affordable to grow (and not so polluted). That's why corn is the main staple in numerous African countries (unlike rice). The main reason people grow and consume rice instead of corn is because they like it better or they're just used to eat rice.
Nah she used to use protein powder when she was sponsored by sun warrior. Just like in one video she said that she does not drink teas but a month later was promoting mushroom tea. It’s money related with her
yeah her new video she claims that the mushroom tea made her sinus infection all better. My best friend/roommate gets horrible sinus infections, and though he does drink teas and uses neti pots, it takes something MUCH stronger to even touch his sinus infections. But Kristina said that her huge sinus infection was cured in one day by using the teas.... then she gives us her code for a discount off of them.
My birthday was a few days ago (you dropped a video that same day), and I am convinced you are spoiling us with so many videos for my birthday! haha

Im not a vegan and i do not think its for me but i love how fact based, responsible, down to earth and relatable you are!

I feel like your hair has more volume lately? It looks really good! Tell us your secrets! :)
She had a baby- usually your hair gets really good or really bad when you're pregnant, so it looks like she got the better of the two options! From what I understand it comes down to your hormones and the prenatal vitamins.
Raw foods
@@samanthaliggio8979 Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait and hope my hair gets thicker in a few years if I have kids then XD :'(
@Magda.L Hey, don't stress. Start with making sure you're not deficient in any vitamins/minerals/fats in your diet, and supplement if you are. Moderate exercise can help, and if you really have issues see if your doctor would recommend testing your hormones to see if anything is out of whack. Thin hair can also be a side effect of certain illnesses or medications, so that might be something to look into.
Past that, it comes down to genetics, and there's really nothing more that you can do. If your hair is healthy I wouldn't worry too much about volume, it can be completely normal to have a less than Herbal Essences commercial head of hair. A good style and confidence go very far in noone caring about it. 😊
Magda.L warning, the higher estrogen levels during pregnancy keep your hair in a growing/resting phase and most women 4-6months post partum have a massive hair loss when estrogen goes back to normal. Then you have this lovey regrowth crown of whispy hair... ahhh fun.
You should read Creating Healthy Children by Karen Ranzi. I bought it because I was feeling really lost about raising a healthy vegan kid, and Ellen Fisher reccomended it.
Its awful and its genuinely terrify the amount of "testimonies" are even worse.

I couldn't even eat 2 cups of chili in one sitting.
Same. 👋
I could, but I guess because I'm a guy and we eat a little more. Still, I think I'd be pretty stuffed since chili (the not-raw kind I eat, with beans, etc.) is really filling. SIX cups?! No way, I'm queasy just thinking about consuming that amount of any food in one sitting, raw or cooked.
@@petrap9214 i couldn't eat chilli, I can't handle spicey foods
Right? My chili is very hearty. I eat maybe 1 cup in a sitting (including the beans on the side) and with it a piece of garlic bread. And that fills me up for hours 😂
It's weird, because at a glance it seems like a really diverse diet. But it's really just revolving poses of fruits and vegetables. It must be mind numbing (not to mention mandible numbing) to eat the same food, in the same style, over and over.
I think you're rather describing the Standard American Diet. It revolves over the same few ingredients: meat, cow's dairy, sugar, hen eggs, vegetable oil or lard, cereal or cereal flour, tomato, onion, potato, ethanol (e.g., in beer), salt, artificial flavoring and/or spices.
@ someone has some issues
You can make oatmeal by soaking steel cut oats. You can then mix that with berries (and maybe some nuts and seeds) - which is delicious. I wonder why this is not highlighted by raw vegans as it would increase the ease with which they get protein and calories.
But then, why not cook the oats - or for that matter some beans or potatoes?
We spend around 600 dollars in 2-3 months... and we’re a family of three so kristina spending so much money just for herself in a month is shocking
Nooo..this was her "affordable"version of raw food...she spends way more money

I bet Kristina eats T-bone steaks in her kitchen at 3am when she thinks no one is looking 👀🥩
Yeh, but I bet they are raw
Nah but I think she eats cooked food already.. Since she's heating up her soups on camera (in the blender, I doubt it gets warmer than 30°C but still). I think she misses the cooked food and who wouldn't after 10 years lol

Quick question. Do you know about Kidney stones and oxalates? I wonder what this diet would do to those people? Yikes so scary. My Fiance has to watch his Oxalates which means no spinach, No almonds, and many other high Oxalate products. Much love from Maui!
Mara N I’m wondering about phytate too because a lot of the foods she is suggesting people consume in high amounts won’t allow people to absorb nutrients because they are blocked by oxalate or phytate or both!

@@lizcarr6329: _"I don’t know where Kristina gets off thinking she can talk nutrition when she clearly has had no formal education"_
- More or less, like you. Phytate/phytic acid is of no nutritional concern. It binds to a portion of the mineral content already present in that same plant food, so if you never consume those foods you won't lose them either. On the other hand, the consumption of phytic acid is beneficial/healthy since it contributes to the regulation of cell proliferation. It should be considered an essential nutrient if it isn't already.
I would love to see a debate between Swayze and Kristina. I have a feeling it would end in tears.

I could never do raw--I would very quickly miss eating warm food!
Dieticians and researchers refer to a diet as raw when >75% by weight of the consumed food is uncooked (i.e., not exposed to temperatures >118ºF/48ºC). So it's perfectly compatible to follow a raw diet and consume some warm foods and drinks. Granted, Swayze won't inform you about that. Some references:

Do many long term vegans end up with SIBO, or just ex UA-cam ex vegans?
Just because you see these “big” vegan youtubers getting sibo, doesn’t mean this represents the vegan community. It doesn’t represent it in the slightest

I just wanna know what went wrong in their diets that they got such horrific digestive issues.
Medhavi Sandhani a majority of them had gut issues before going vegan and hoped veganism (usually high raw and high fruit) would solve their problems, but it was just a temporary fix to a long-term problem.

Where I live in Europe you cannot buy fruits and vegetables in bulk (or in a case) because we have just regular supermarkets where you are supposed to buy "normal" amounts of stuff for a household.

I really do appreciate you making videos like these. Thank you.
Can you review Oh She Glows cookbook? I love it and I think you would too!
Thank you for realistically addressing the issue of cost. It really raises my hackles when health gurus spout the old chestnut of: 'but you'll save so much money in the long run so of course you can afford it!' Yeah, but some people don't have money at the outset to invest in any kind of long run! Then said gurus turn around and accuse anyone who doesn't live their culty lifestyle of: 'wasting money on takeaways, bingo, and superfluous possessions' like anyone who isn't in a position of privilege MUST by default be frittering away all that excess cash on junk. Heaven forbid those people are actually counting every penny and buying whatever food fits into their tight budget in order to survive and keep a roof over their head and the lights on and their clothes clean, which is what most people of limited means are doing. And if you want to talk about superfluous junk, how about all those $200 supplements from China that these gurus are peddling at a 500% mark-up cost? Or their $475 unaccredited online 'courses', or their $5000 unregulated/unqualified health retreats? But hey, who needs to pay rent or car insurance or dental bills, when a $200 bottle of powdered deer antler and a crate of raw papaya will make you immortal?
Most of the time Kristina makes me feel like I’m reading a high school students essay. Especially that appendix on raw science was the icing on the cake (or should I say, the nicing). You’re really going to disregard millions of years of scientific evidence and call it a “cooked-food perspective”? Please get in touch with reality asap. Anyways, I’ve really been enjoying your content in the past few weeks Swayze. Thanks for calling these people out on their bullshit.

Swayze is also full of shit. You're just too ignorant to notice it.
