      UV, Have you done a video yet about unhealthy weight being encouraged by some of these gurus? It's really disturbing to me how thin they are, and how there's very little subcutaneous fat on their bodies.
      Young women are watching them, and I just think it's a terrible model to set.
      My niece brought up a good point - that our society focuses too much on how a person *looks* and not their actual health.
      You would really impact so many in a positive way if you did this. Young women and girls need to hear that a *healthy* body is most important. Not being a certain weight.

      I think eating such a low fat raw diet may make a lot of people feel better, because of the omega 3/ 6 ratio. After looking up vegan foods with high Omega 3 to Omega 6, I was surprised at the amount of fruits/ veggies that have a decently higher Omega 3 to 6, to almost equal amounts. So eating an abundance of mango, banana, spinach, and Chia pudding almonds sparingly, could contribute to feeling better.

  • @NoExitLoveNow
    @NoExitLoveNow 5 років тому +1088

    I personally think that raw food veganism is a kind of orthorexia. That said, you could emphasize raw foods and still cook the foods that would benefit from cooking, like beans etc.

      I will say for many people a raw food diet is definitely orthorexic behavior. However, I’ve seen Kate Flowers have a few non-raw things on her channel, and has even said that she isn’t as strict as most raw vegans. I think she just likes the way it makes her feel really.

    • @Doglife1977
      @Doglife1977 5 років тому +17

      No, buddy. A raw vegan diet is 75% of your food by weight raw. The 25% remaining CAN BE cooked and you will still be eating a raw diet BY DEFINITION. That was UV´s mistake, apparently. not realizing or poinitng that out. MAkes a a world of difference. I think maybe Fully Raw Kristina help spread this misconcept because she is the most famous raw vegan and she is, I think, 100% raw. But that´s her (kinda radical) aproach. There is also the high raw diet which is 50 to 74% raw food. So the idea you must eat 100% raw is kinda crazy, indeed, but it´s not by definition, what a raw vegan diet is. Check out Brenda Davis´ presentation on raw diet myths. Best regards.

I absolutely love her attitude and the fact that she has always said that she is raw because that’s just what feels best to her and isn’t what feels best to everyone. She actually has a “how to go vegan” ebook that she just released that has a ton of cooked food for people who want to make the jump to veganism, and she will eat cooked food every once in awhile. You and Kate have very different channels but I think both of you are excellent representations of what a healthy vegan diet can be.

Eating vegan is better for the environment and the main purpose is to prevent unnecessary animal suffering so what makes raw special?

The only reason I do this is because I feel so nice and light and energized. It works great for me. I get my blood work done annually and my doctor is always very happy. However, I would never tell anyone else how to eat. We all have different methods that work best for each of us. That’s the beauty of food!

      fallingtomydoom for various reasons it’s certainly not the easiest on the GI tract but a lot of people eat raw broccoli w/ out issue, esp in more typically seen/ eaten portion sizes. The video reference was in reference to the huge amount those on a raw diets often eat.

      I love raw broccoli. I eat it cooked occasionally, but prefer it raw. The stems are my favorite part. I have ulcerative colitis and it's actually one of the foods that I can eat without pain or problems. Everyone is different though. Can't eat anything with gluten without pain though. So I'm vegan and gluten free.

    Really cool video. I like Kate a lot and I appreciate your nutritional break downs because they take a lot of time! The only thing I'll say is I believe Kate is pretty light, between 100 and 110 pounds, so with the 0.8g/kg she would need 40g protein daily and her 63g is nearly 1.3g/kg (assuming Kate is 110lbs) which I would estimate is plenty even when considering the reduced bioavailability in raw foods. I'll admit we don't cover that much in my classes though.
    Also there is an upper limit for many of the B vitamins despite the fact that they are water soluble and exceeding that upper limit regularly can result in permanent nerve damage so b complex supplements can be concerning to me.

    I get my blood tested every 6 months. My results were almost exactly the same on a cooked vegan diet that I was on for three years, and a raw Vegan diet that I've been on for a little over a year now, however they have improved slightly. My hemoglobin is 13.8, cooked it was 12.2. Iron is 25.2 on cooked it was 20. 8. Transferrin was 2.3 on cooked which is on the low side and now is 3.2. My b12 is slightly higher also at 511.5 pmol/l when it was 480.5 pmol/l. I don't take supplements! So it all depends what works for you. Personally I prefer eating raw I feel way better. However it doesn't work for everyone so just do what feels good to your body.

    I was always curious about Kate watching those bars too. They are certified raw so if she just wants to go off of that label then eating it would comply with her version of a raw food diet. Kate is a lot not a strict raw vegan. Yes all her videos are for the most part raw but she’s not afraid to eat cooked food( she does talk about it a little in some of her videos). Kate does have pretty open minded approach to the raw vegan diet. A lot of her recipes are really good and I think they they are a good place to start when wanting to eat a plant based vegan diet. Kate’s way of eating seems a lot easier then Kristina’s because she does Include a lot of healthy fats, cutting down on the volume of food she needs to eat. When you eating 801010 you have to eat SOOO much food and it makes being raw kind of inconvenient. I really liked this video I think it shine a lot of light on the raw community and you have such an open minded approach when looking at the different groups with in the vegan community.

    2:17 You don't know what you're talking about. While the diet you describe may well be deficient in some nutrients, it won't be deficient in calcium. The main cause of calcium deficiencies in the majority of modern diets (not necessarily vegan) is that they heavily rely on grains (cereals) as primary staple, and cereals are very poor calcium sources. The more cereals you eat, the less calcium you 're going to end up taking:
    _"It is not yet clear whether the adoption of agriculture eased or increased human workloads; skeletal indicators of physical stress do not show definite trends at this stage of human experience (42, 70, 71). However, agriculturists did obtain less calcium from their diets (72) after grains (poor calcium sources) (Table 7) became major staples. For example, as maize became an important dietary constituent in prehistoric North America there were multiple temporally related adverse effects on health (73), including an increase in osteoporosis (72, 74; DA Nelson, unpublished observation, 1985). Nelson (unpublished observations, 1985) compared the bone mineral content and cortical thickness of Archaic hunter-gatherers (living 6000 y ago) with the corresponding characteristics of transitional maize agriculturists (~1250 AD) in Illinois and Michigan. The hunter-gatherers had denser, thicker bone and experienced less bone loss with age than did the agriculturists."_

    According to the following paper, the daily intake of typical pre-agricultural diets (excluding the Eskimo diet and the like), was about 1,600 mg Ca/day:

    diamondsindasky. com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Eaton-NEJM.pdf
    ncbi.nlm.nih. gov/pubmed/2981409
    This other paper draws similar values (1,500 mg Ca/day), but in it gives more information about other likely causes (in addition to higher calcium intakes it cites higher sodium intake and a higher P:Ca ratio as possible causes of negative calcium balance in most populations):
    • Eaton SB and Nelson DA. *”Calcium in evolutionary perspective.”* _Am J Clin Nutr (1991) vol. 54 (1 Suppl) pp. 281S-287S_

    And in this update of the above paper the value is even greater (1,960 mg Ca/day):

    ncbi.nlm.nih. gov/pubmed/9104571
    Most pre-agriculturalist "paleolithic" populations enjoyed high-calcium diets even though meats are poor calcium sources, and despite the fact they didn't consume any milk, dairy, or any calcium-fortified plant-based milk:
    _"The low calcium content of the meat regimen may be of lesser significance than its exceptionally high content of phosphorus. Adult animals and humans fed a high phosphorus diet, particularly one in which the calcium content is low, exhibit mild hypocalcemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism and an increased rate of bone resorption. It is of interest, therefore, that Mazess and Mather (1974:916-925) and Pawson (1974:369-380) observed an unusually high rate of aging bone loss among Eskimos of northern Alaska. Further, a high protein intake is known to produce calciuria. To what extent, if any, the accelerated rate of of bone resorption observed in aging Eskimos is attributable to their high protein, high phosphorus, low calcium diet is unknown."_

    jstor. org/stable/673842
    _"There was one hunter-gatherer population in whom the prevalence of osteoporosis was high, higher even than that observed in present-day Americans. Both male and female Inuit (Eskimos) developed bone mineral loss earlier than did industrialized Westerners and the loss occurred at a faster rate so that the severity of osteoporosis in older traditional Inuit was pronounced (75, 76). Like Natufians, Cro-Magnons, and Archaic Amerindians, the Inuit lifestyle required considerable physical exertion; furthermore, all these groups had diets that provided a great deal of protein and phosphorus. However, as opposed to the other population groups for whom high calcium consumption is likely, the calcium intake of aboriginal Inuit was probably low (77). Unlike Cro-Magnons living in Ice-Age Europe, Eskimos lived in high-latitude, circumpolar habitats and as a result their access to plant foods was severely restricted. Their calcium sources are postulated to have included seasonally available berries, moss, and buds, but came mainly from chewing small bones and eating the gastric and intestinal contents of game animals (78). The amount of calcium obtained from these sources is unknown, probably limited, and quite likely insufficient to maintain bone health in older Inuit despite their continuing high levels of physical activity."_

    If you have to eat all these supplements and protein powder etc. Isn’t that pretty clear sign this might not be the most natural diet? Veganism I get because of environmental and animal rights etc but does it have to get this complicated

    I love these videos! They're so helpful without being bitchy, and I find it helps me look at my own diet to pinpoint any missing elements. Would love if you could do a video on Ellen Fisher, since she's one of the "leading" vegan moms on youtube.
