Couture547 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I'm just freakin out if I cut out soy beacuse it can't be eaten raw, that I wont get enough protein and wont grow but on raw foods I feel much more energetic If you eat enough food you'll get enough protein...I wouldn't worry about that too much...I'd be more worried about your fats and b12. B12 is the only thing that's hard to get , but it's the same as with any Vegan diet where your not eatting processed foods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcina Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hemp protein can come in raw. I have some. It tastes like crap and it doesn't mix so it's like drinking sand, but my muscles love it. I mix it in with juice usually and chug a lug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaserHUN Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'm just freakin out if I cut out soy beacuse it can't be eaten raw, that I wont get enough protein and wont grow but on raw foods I feel much more energetic You should worry about protein if your eatting raw. If you eat enough calories and a variety of foods it's about impossible to be low on protein. I get over 150 grams of protein every day. If i wanted i could double that. Hemp, Spirulina, Chorella are some of my favorites. Would you post up an example of your daily diet? I'm interested in seeing it. breakfast, vegetables(carrot, beet, lettuce, I put apple in it too), I put on the vegetables some lemon and olive oil, and eat it with whole grain/spelt bread and with tofu, than a hangdful of seeds, and a half cup of oats(usually cocoa, karob and coconut raspings in it), I found this good for breakfast2-3 hours later a veggie burger( salad, paprika, cucumber, and tofu in it)another 2-3 hours fruits, usually apples and raisins in schoollunch at home, today I ate greens, broccoli, spinach, sorrel, lettuce, cucumber and 2 soy donno what, It's big as a card about, I ate ususally 6 or 7 of theese in on meal, but than I slowed down as hell, than handful of seeds and nuts and a half cup of oatsbefore workout, a kiwi, orange, and a banana, after workout a big plate of oats with bread and tofu and maybe 2 "cards" of soy and almonds and nuts, and later for dinner 1 or 2 "card(s)" of soy and some grains, everything that I can foundoats: I put it in soy-rice milkso this is now my plan, I think it's about 90-95% raw now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaserHUN Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 and maybe I'm gonna get some more lentils in my diet, so what do you think about what I wrote above, and B-12 is from kombucha, and the soy-rice milk I buy has sea-weeds in it and that contains B-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im Your Man Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I think this is pretty good, you should get everything you need on this diet. How come you don't know what's the "soy cards" thing, it must come in a package or something ? Anyway if you feel you lack of a certain nutriment check here to find which food could help. http://veganbodybuilding.com/?page=article_commonfoods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im Your Man Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 yeah it's big ! Must be a mix of soy and gluten, maybe fortified with vitamins and minerals? Always look at the ingredients and nutrition facts. If this is the 10% cook/processed food you're eating it's ok because anyway you're still eating 90% raw and natural.

ChaserHUN Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 and what do you think that putting in soy milk some spelt flour, and whole grain flour etc, and eat it as a mush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im Your Man Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I guess it would be ok but it's certainly not the best thing to do and it wouldn't taste really good unless you want to make pancakes by adding some oil ! Grains should be sprouted, it increases its digestibility and multiply all the nutrients. Then you can crush them if you want to, it's gonna be a better food than eating flour that's for sure.

ChaserHUN Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Soybeans. From Liener [1994], soybeans contain some heat-labile protease inhibitors and hemagglutinins. ("Heat-labile" means those susceptible to changes by heat; a hemagglutinin is something that causes red blood cells to clump together.) Soy also contains factors that are relatively heat-stable, though of lesser significance, such as: source:http://www.beyondveg.com/tu-j-l/raw-cooked/raw-cooked-1g.shtml#beans whats the opinion about this?

ChaserHUN Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 I red somewhere that soy granulate can be eaten raw? whats done with them that I can eat it whit out cooking it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im Your Man Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 soy granulates, soy curls, texturized soy protein, and the soy products like veggiedogs and veggieburgers, yeah you can eat them without boiling them into water or cooking them first, but it won't be raw anyway!! It has been already processed at very high temperatures, and it's not good to eat too much of those because it's a very processed product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaserHUN Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 and whitout eating soy and greains(like bread etc.) can I get all ESSENTIAL amino acids? I red that goji berryes conatin all 8 essential aminoc acids but I can't get those maybe I'll buy some grains to sprout them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im Your Man Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 concerning proteins/amino acids, you're gonna be fine with raw foods, yeah there's goji berries, but also : Fruits: Bananas, tomatoes, cucumbers. Avocado and olives are really good for proteins too. 
Vegetables: Potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, corn, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, okra, peas, summer squash and kale It's not even that important to get all essential amino acids at same time, but to get a variety of amino acids throughout the day.
