Eason Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I've been on a raw vegan diet for a while and i find this the best for my cardio conditioning. I've been reling on hemp seeds for most of my calories and protein, but i notice it causes digestion problems to me. Even if i eat a little it causes problems. So what raw food can i eat to get like 100 grams of protein and alot of calories? Another problem i have is if i get alot of protein for seeds and nuts i get to much fat. Give me a list of foods with alot of protein in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eason Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 ya thats the problem. i would eat beans but their cooked. I need all raw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashnburn Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Beans cannot be and should not be consumed raw. When we would eat raw lentil pieces as kids our elders would scold us ..and tell us we'd have stomach problems. This is ancient knowledge. One other way is soaking and sprouting the legumes / lentil items you want to eat without COOKING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 What's wrong with cooking them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 if cooked, they wouldn't fit in with a raw diet.hmmm... that's a tough onevega bars have 10grams of protein.

Kathryn Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 vega bars have 10grams of protein. But they are hemp-based, so if hemp is the problem, that won't solve it. The only RAW protein powders I am aware of are all hemp-based, or contain some hemp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 if cooked, they wouldn't fit in with a raw diet. Yeah I know they're not raw. I was just wondering why people don't want to eat cooked food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eason Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 because it destroys my conditioning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 because it destroys my conditioning What do you mean? I'm not trying to argue or anything, I was just curious why people go raw and hoping someone will explain the basics to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashnburn Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 because it destroys my conditioning What about SPROUTS? My mom used to feed me green sprouts all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eason Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 how do you go about making sprouts? don't you just soak seeds and nuts? the reason i don't want to eat cooked foods is i want to keep my PH very high and if i eat cooked foods it lowers it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my mom used to soak legumes/lentils in a big bowl and then tie them up into a wafer thin cloth. I could ask her for the exact thing if you cant find a procedure. I dont know about seeds and nuts.. if they can sprout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Eason. I have a four layered-plastic type pan at home that is perfect for creating sprouts. I just place the 'germ' inside the pan and pour water over it. I do this ca. 4-5 times a day for two -three days, and on the third or fourth day you have a slew of sprouts. They taste really good. I'm currently living in Europe and received it as a gift here. I do not know what the "layered-pot" is called. But do a google search. ANd check out the website below. It's a start.

CollegeB Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I think they will sprout if left in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
