10 bananas is healthy?! (Reacting to when I ate raw)

  • Reacting to one of my old videos from 2010 called "That's too much fruit on a low fat raw vegan diet?" Obviously this was when I was still eating a "fully raw" diet (low fat, high carb, lots of fruit 80/10/10 style). Sometimes it's good to see how far we've come. Sometimes it's terribly awkward and embarrassing and WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY HAIR?!

    • @UnnaturalVegan
      @UnnaturalVegan  7 років тому +366

      Two things, perhaps. First, raw food never quite became part of my identity, although it was a big part of my life and I did make money promoting it. I always considered myself primarily a skeptic/rational person and eventually I learned raw didn't fit with that. It was either stay raw and essentially follow a religion, or give it up (same thing happened with objectivism/libertarianism). Second, I never idolized Graham or any of the other cult leaders. This made it not only easier to them for what they were, but more importantly, to accept it.

    Amen to the always feeling cold thing!!! I was eating Raw Til 4 with probably less than 5% fat (no overt fats such as nuts, seeds, etc. even oatmeal had too much fat for me. 🙄) during the summer last year and was stick thin, so I didn't think the heat not bothering me was anything serious. Then, as soon as it hit 60 degrees, I was shivering 24/7 and no amount of blankets could keep me warm. My hands were always chapped, cracked, and bleeding. I had two jobs during the fall and winter, and would eat my "lunch" (two large carrots) in my car between jobs, shivering so bad I thought I was going to pass out.
    I finally started eating more starches and fats earlier this year, and a hell of a lot more protein. I hardly even eat fruit anymore and I feel so much better. Eat your fats!!!!!!!!!

    I totally agree with your statement about the sustainability or rather unsustainably of the raw and fruit diet. This is something that the raw people refuse to understand. Fruit is the most wasteful of all the plant foods per calorie. You can't run civilization off of bananas and organic kale. Grains and other staples are grown for a reason.

      A raw vegan diet is much too expensive because one would have to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables to be full also one has to go to the supermarket quite often and carry a lot and heavy stuff. We are a family of four (soon 5) and getting everyone full just with fruit and vegetables would be far too expensive, we make a green smoothie everyday and eat also a lot of fruit and vegetables but it's easier and cheaper to have a satisfying meal with starches (potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, pasta) and for example legumes once a day

      Claire lol
      It’s funny but it’s very true just about every single female UA-cam person - no matter the genre - always apologizes for their hair or says something like “oh I don’t look good today because I didn’t sleep/eat/I have a cold/etc.“ and nine times out of 10 I cannot tell a difference 🤷🏻‍♀️

    I eat raw broccoli, carrots and other heavy vegetables all the time... it has never bugged me either. Tbh I didn't know that was a thing.

I don't think I have seen this kind of video from anybody else...pretty much critising solely yourself in a good way though cause now you know better 🙂

    I came across your videos a couple weeks ago and I am hooked. I don’t have any plant based friends and all of your videos feel like I’m sitting down with a friend and listening. I appreciate how “raw” you are ha! That was lame, but I truly enjoy your videos ☺️

    • @zragonal189

      As soon as they (bananas) get even a few spots, they immediately go into the freezer to be turned into banana-bread.

      brightsausage I think it is just self honesty. When I look at my graduation photo from law school from seven years ago, I looked ten years older than I do now and I say this frequently. I was Vegan, but ate so much cooked and junk Vegan food to nurse the stress of law school while working full time. I cringe looking at those old photos of myself and I do not think this is self hate. It is like looking at our high school hairstyles and thinking, "What was I thinking".

  • @meganb7634

    Could you do a video on coconut oil and the recent claims? I was a big fan of it, but am not so sure anymore. I love how you approach these subjects so straightforward, and are able to filter out of all the crap you can come across when trying to research something on the internet. Thanks for always dropping the knowledge ;)

    Thoughts as I'm watching this:
    I don't think the layerd hair is bad, but I do like your hair better now.
    Love your cat.
    Can you eat spinach or snow peas?
    The granola bars still look yummy.
    I probably couldn't eat more than 1 banana. Maybe in a smoothie I could eat more.
    Low fat doesn't really mean much if you're doing high sugar.
    My problem with knowing I'm full (i.e. not hungry anymore) is that I eat too fast. If I slow down my eating I recognize that point much easier. But, it's not easy for me to eat slowly. I still have to watch the clock to slow down my eating.
    Iodized salt ftw! Why is seaweed discouraged?
    I don't think I could live without tea. I'm a tea drinker, not a coffee drinker.
    Thanks for sharing!

    I once watched a youtube video (from a sweets maker in the US - the sweet was banana shaped) about bananas which said that growing bananas is so difficult, that we won't have any bananas in the near future anymore. Also wild bananas (from way before) looked completely different. If that is true, how would you compensate this loss? Me am really curious!

    Not really a vegan topic from what I understand but do you have any opinions on the rise in use of cbd oil because I live in the south and it seems to be becoming a bit of an mlm situation and a lot of people I know are swearing by it and I kinda want an outside opinion if that makes sense seeing as from what I know there aren’t many regulations/ testing of benefits and such

    It's funny how I used to see your videos and scoff at them because I was so caught up in and blinded by the raw till 4/fully raw bullshit. I couldn't see sense at all. Then, I ended up gaining 50 pounds, being undernourished and nutrient deficient, and nearly went literally crazy. Now, I've truly realized the error of my way and I love your videos. So rational and makes so much sense.
