Feeling cold on a raw food diet
Вставка

- For many months I used to really suffer with the cold whilst on the low fat raw vegan diet. I used to shudder through to my bones! If you can keep off the fat, eat plenty of greens and stop cheating, then this does subside eventually. In most people their body is used to trying to deal with an unhealthy diet that causes them to overheat. When you become healthier, you are not as prone to overheating and your body takes time to readjust to running more efficiently. I now feel really comfortable even in subzero temperatures, with some decent clothing of course!
I also found that plenty of intense exercise helps your circulation and body temperature on these really cold days. This year, for the first time ever I've been taking vitamin D3 (5000iu), and B12. I've had none of the winter blues and not suffered with SAD. I've never felt better in all my life! I feel energised and overjoyed!
This morning, the thermometer outside our house on the wall read minus 11.5 degrees centigrade. In this video, I'm walking back from my allotment after filming another UA-cam video on 'harvesting winter greens', so please subscribe so that you don't miss it! I used my bare hands to uncover greens buried in up to one foot deep snow and took them home to eat for lunch. My hands were SO COLD after uncovering and picking all the subzero temperature produce, but within minutes they recovered, and I didn't even need cloves when walking home. I've not even shivered at all in this rather cold cold spell!
It was a really bright day and the white snow messed up my camera exposure, so please accept my apologies if it looks like a grey day.
It's been raining heavily every single day bar 2 for the last 3 weeks! November is notorious for it. Unusually, Saturday was beautiful - blue skies and sunny, I went out on my bike. Wish I'd taken a camera as the views were gorgeous, Next time the sun is out and I'm not working I'm going out with bike and camera! I heard that England was cold - but -11.5, that is breath-taking! It's certainly a good test for your diet and for your gardening skills.
Thanks. It's never been easier to film some great stuff. I'm not doing the all raw diet nowadays, I literally ran out of money! I do like the high carb low fat diet where possible though. I hope you are well. Maybe relaunch your channel too! (mine was eatmore raw, stuart porter in case you were wondering!... I am going through old comments). Sorry for bit of a late response! I'm back on UA-cam, with only occasional postings at moment, under my renamed channel. I'm mainly doing cycling stuff at moment.
I had hit a crux where I was feeling sorry for myself, incorporating a coffee a day for the past week or so because of this cold weather, so thank you for this video... I am back on it ! Love the honesty of everything.

What's the weather like in Italy at the moment. I'd love to see another video.
Here on Sunday 29th November 2010, in Durham, UK. It was minus 11.5 deg Centigrade on the morning of this video, the snow has been still falling and it's getting even colder now! Last year was the coldest winter in 31years, it looks like another cold one here in the UK! This is igloo making weather!!!
Thank you!
I'm just a regular guy who's decided to take responsibility for my own health and find out what makes me feel better. You might be interested in my blog, see link in description.

I needed this video. Thanks!
I just started a raw diet and am on day 5. I am cold and I thought I was in trouble.
Thanks! I hope your health quest is working out. Sorry for bit of a late response! I'm back on UA-cam, with only occasional postings at moment, under my renamed channel. I'm mainly doing cycling stuff at moment.

Checkout my 'harvesting winter greens' video. I dig out sub zero frozen produce from my allotment plot with my bare hands. I really used to get VERY cold. I attribute the following to helping me massively:
Zero overt fat intake.
Hardly ever eat any cooked food
Exercising and sweating loads.
A daily GIANT leafy green salad.
Eating plenty of calories mainly from fruit and not much else.
B12 and D3 (5000iu) supplements.
Time.
Hope that helps. Kind regards, Stuart

You are SO right! I have this ecstatic elation very regularly, pretty much every day at the moment! The harder I push myself then the more amazing it is! On my cycling video 1, once I reached the Hartside I was TOTALLY tripped out. The world could have ended and I would have still been happy!
Forget drugs. Do a really clean low fat raw diet. Build up long intense exercise and you can experience extreme joy that you never thought possible with no side effects! I may do a video on it!
Thank you Stuart!!!! You are amazing!
Thanks. I'm glad you think so! Sorry for bit of a late response! I'm back on UA-cam, with only occasional postings at moment, under my renamed channel. I'm mainly doing cycling stuff at moment.
Stuart Porter, are you still around?
I am now. I'm back on UA-cam after long absence, now with renamed channel :)
I watch a lot of these vegan/raw food videos and yours has strongly affected me--I like the way you keep repeating "no cheating;" thanks.
Thanks! It's still the best if you can afford it and stick to it. Sorry for bit of a late response! I'm back on UA-cam, with only occasional postings at moment, under my renamed channel. I'm mainly doing cycling stuff at moment.

Sorry to hear about the Raynaud's condition. I didn't know what it was, so I looked it up. I can see why this diet helps you so much. I don't think cooked carbs are that bad, but my hunger response is never satisfied on them, and they tend to make me overeat. Yes I agree cooked carbs without salt tastes very bland. Last time I had cooked carbs with salt I could hardly get out of bed and my eyes puffed up like I'd been in a fight! I'm thriving without any of that stuff now.
Good video Stuart. Beautiful scenery.
Thanks. It's a beautiful place around Durham :). Sorry for bit of a late response! I'm back on UA-cam, with only occasional postings at moment, under my renamed channel. I'm mainly doing cycling stuff at moment.

I heard one weather forecast that said some areas in the UK will reach minus 20 degress centigrade!!!! That will be a good test of this diet, as long as I can actually go and buy the food. ..... Help!!!!
Why am I not getting sound on this vid?
Sorry you're having sound issues. I just checked the video in incognito mode, and the sound does work. Perhaps try this and investigate further... right click your desktop, select display settings, sound (that's how you get there on windows 10). All the best with it.
you have to eat nuts n seeds vegan cheese tofu-alternatives, or you'll hit the floor-well I would.
Thanks. I didn't do to well on nuts and seeds. I'm on a high carb diet now, including cooked. Sorry for bit of a late response! I'm back on UA-cam, with only occasional postings at moment, under my renamed channel. I'm mainly doing cycling stuff at moment.
Lower iron can cause vegans to feel cold.
Good comment, thanks. Sorry for bit of a late response! I'm back on UA-cam, with only occasional postings at moment, under my renamed channel. I'm mainly doing cycling stuff at moment.
Nuts and seeds irritate my stomach and intestines, than my kidneys get soar.
I don't think that nuts and seeds are a heath food. Cooked food is better. Sorry for bit of a late response! I'm back on UA-cam, with only occasional postings at moment, under my renamed channel. I'm mainly doing cycling stuff at moment.
