    ForewordMy Journey to Raw Food

    My name is Scott Jackson and in December

    of 2005 I was a whopping 298 pounds. At 56 this

    meant I was morbidly obese. Migraine headaches,

    heartburn, pain in my joints, backache, dizziness,

    shortness of breath, and a host of other problemsplagued me daily. That was just my health. So-

    cially was another story all together. I felt like I was

    stared at constantly. I could imagine people talking

    about the really fat man.

    I worked with the public and I knew that mysize was hindering me in being able to perform my

    best. I am sure I wasnt taken seriously due to my

    size. I put on a good show to hide the bad feelings I

    was having about myself. I would make jokes about

    the fat man and hid behind jokes about myself and

    my weight. All the time I did this, I was hurting in-side and didnt feel like I was attractive or good

    enough. I was in a bad place in my life.

    My diet was the SAD diet. (Standard Ameri-

    can Diet). I ate all the wrong foods. I was a fried

    chicken and hot wing maniac. Even when I was inmy best shape before this change, I was not eating a

    very good diet. We are bombarded with advertising

    for processed foods and I fell right into this model.

    I loved to try the newest treat. The new pizza,

    chicken, candy, tv dinner you name it. I used food

    for comfort. The worse I felt the more I ate. This

    made me feel even worse so I would eat more to

    make me feel better but it didnt. I was unhappy

    in my career so I ate to make me feel better. I used

    any excuse to eat. I watched my size grow larger

    and larger.

    I tried the Atkins diet. I did lose some

    weight, but felt bad on it. I had constant I.B.S.

    (irritable bowel syndrome) on the diet. I tried manyother diets the flavor of the month with no real

    success. I would lose a little, but then I would gain

    back even more weight. I was not successful at

    these ways of eating. It was a yo-yo pattern that I

    was following and I knew that wasnt healthy. I

    knew that I was missing something. I knew therehad to be a real answer.

    How many of you have been in this situation?

    Struggling with your weight? Feeling bad about

    yourself but still eating to make yourself feel better.

    Going on diets that didnt work and feeling evenworse about yourself and turning to what you feel

    the most comfortable with food. It is there for

    you, an old friend that is at your fingertips. A fa-

    miliar friend that is always there for you. A friend

    that keeps you from living life the way you want it.

    Keeps you from being healthy, makes you evenmore tired, and makes you feel bad after you eat it.

    You know what I mean. Being fat is not a good

    place to be.

    In December 2005 I decided that I needed to

    take action. I was tired and fed up with how I

  • 7/30/2019 Raw Licious

    6/156

    6

    looked and felt. I didnt want to live like this any

    more. I came to a point in my life that I ready. I ac-

    cepted what I had done to myself and decided not to

    dwell on the past. What was done was done. I

    turned that frustration into energy. The drive that I

    needed to make this change. I changed my total out-

    look on my life. I felt a switch, a change, an ah hah!

    I worked with a nutritionist who helped mestart on my path. She suggested that I eat whole

    foods. Almost immediately, I began to feel better.

    It was a step in the right direction. It was not until I

    had read a magazine called Living Nutrition that I

    found what I was looking for. This magazine intro-

    duced me to the idea of Natural Hygiene. A phi-losophy of eating raw foods mainly fruits. This

    was very helpful information to me at the time I be-

    gan my search. I could not get enough information

    on the subject. My health was improving and I was

    dropping weight like crazy.

    Here is a photo (left) taken in December 2005 be-

    fore I made any changes to my eating habits. Onthe right is what I look like after going raw for 6

    months. Over 100 lbs of weight lost.

    Here is close up of my face in December and then

    July 2006.

    You can see how bloated I was then and how

    much healthier I looked after 6 months on raw

    food.

    Section OneDiscoveries

    I wanted more. I knew I was on something

    big. I was gaining energy, feeling better, thinking

    more clearly and feeling young again. This is

    what I had been looking for. My introduction to

    super-foods was when I began studying David

    Wolfe and his teachings about raw food. He

    opened my eyes to the amazing properties of

    food and what eating it in its natural state can do

    for the body.

    The first thing I learned was cooked food

    is addictive. Think of all the crazy things we doto get it. The cooking procedure changes the

    properties of the food and makes it damaging to

    your body. We are able to adapt to the cooked

    food that is one of the wonderful things about

    our bodies. Even eating things that arent good

    for us we manage to live on it. We get used toit. This is part of nature and the way of survival.

    That doesnt mean it is the best way to eat. Man

    can smoke, drink and consume other poisons and

    still survive.

    One of the other things I learned is that weare designed to be frugavores. This means that

    we are designed to primarily eat foods that come

    from flowering plants. Fruits, nuts, melons, cu-

    cumbers, etc. are the main stay. We also should

    consume a good amount of greens. Our digestive

    system is very similar to the great apes. They

    are the strongest mammal pound for poundand are 100% vegan raw foodists. They con-

    sume a very large amount of greens and fruits.

    On this raw diet they grow big and live long

    lives. They get all the protein, vitamins and

    minerals from their food.

    Here are some of the things I have

    learned on this amazing journey. Man was

    born to eat food in its natural living state pe-

    riod. Not cooked, not processed with artificial

    ingredients raw like every other living spe-

    cies on this planet does.

    We are the only species that cooks its

    food. Look at nature; do you see birds,

    chimps, bears, deer or any other creature in na-

    ture cooking its food?

    Robert Sussman from Man the

    Hunted talks about the process of human

    evolution. He says early man that lived be-

    tween 5 and 2 million years ago were very

    similar to modern man and were fruit and nut

    eaters. Early man was not designed to eatmeat so why would they? They wouldnt hunt

    for prey but search out fruits and nuts.

    Man could not eat large amounts of

    meat until he controlled fire. Evidence of fire

  • 7/30/2019 Raw Licious

    10/156

    10

    was found as early as 800,000 years ago and most

    paleontologists feel it was as recent as 60,000 years

    ago.

    That is a very short time in the total span of

    human history that humans controlled fire. Not long

    enough for us to completely adapt to food being

    cooked. Look at all the health problems that hu-

    mans (and pets that we are feeding cooked food to)are having with their health. Obesity, heart condi-

    tions, cancerthe list is long. These diseases have

    increased greatly since man has been eating more

    artificial and processed foods. There are many

    things that people call food but really arent. Do

    candies grow on trees? Can you find a cake, cookie,soda, instant TV dinner or any of the other proc-

    essed foods in nature? I dont think so! Nature cre-

    ated the best foods for us. Nature designed our bod-

    ies and the food to fuel it.

    Milk is another subject entirely. Look at na-ture again. Man is the only species that drinks milk

    or uses milk products after it has been weaned. We

    are also the only species that drinks another species

    milk. We were intended to drink mothers milk only

    while we were infants. Not as an adult. Many

    health conditions can be traced back to milk. It ismedia advertising and a strong milk lobby that per-

    petuates the myth that milk is good for you. I rec-

    ommend getting it out of your life. I have. You can

    get calcium from vegetables like broccoli, kale,

    chard and many leafy greens. They have more cal-

    cium than milk and are much better for you.

    Vitamin D only can be produced in your skin

    when you are exposed to natural sunlight, not from

    fortified milk as we are led to believe.

    Section Two - Getting Started

    Now, eating raw and natural doesnt meanyou have to give up some of your favorite recipes.

    Not by a long shot. In this book you will find a

    wide variety of recipes to help improve your eating

    habits. They are not only healthy for you, but quite

    tasty as well. You will be eating your food in a

    more natural state. I know that it will be very diffi-cult to erase years of unhealthy eating habits. Ad-

    vertising, culture, peer pressure and the many addic-

    tions to cooked foods are all good reasons to make

    and enjoy delicious recipes while you are switching

    over to a healthier lifestyle.

    Mind set

    The first thing that will need to work on is

    yourself. You have to look back at your life and see

    what events in your life trigger your eating habits.It would be helpful to get a pad and begin to write

    down some of your non-supporting beliefs. For in-

    stance:

    Dont be bad eat all your food, there are

    starving people in Africa

    Milk makes a person good

    You arent good enough

    Who could love someone like you

    More food is better - Super-size it

    I can never be good enough

  • 7/30/2019 Raw Licious

    13/156

    13

    The List can be long. They are different for each

    person and mean different things to each person.

    One of mine was I didnt feel like I was goodenough and for a long time I used food as a

    crutch to make myself feel better. It was a com-

    fort and I would get into a vicious cycle. Feel

    bad, eat food for comfort, feel bad from the food

    and then eat more to feel better. The feel better

    was very short and I was always hungry after Ijust ate.

    I found out later that was because I was not

    getting the minerals and nutrients that I needed

    and my body was crying out for it. I was so full

    that I could not eat another bite yet I would eatmore. This is a cycle for many people. Do you

    ever have those types of issues? Do you eat to

    make yourself feel better? Are you hungry right

    after eating and eat again? All these things come

    from non-supporting beliefs and food addiction.

    Once you have your list you can work on

    those non-supporting thoughts to turn them

    around. You can change these thoughts and be-

    liefs into positive ones. Reword these thoughts in

    a positive light. Take I am not good enough

    and a possible revision would be I am good per-

    son. Now you need to anchor that thought with

    something positive. A pleasurable memory, one

    from your past when you felt the best about your-

    self, one of great emotional power one that car-

    ries a lot of emotion for you.

  • 7/30/2019 Raw Licious

    14/156

    14

    Now put your new positive belief with that

    emotion and anchor the new belief. This can be

    done over and over again. You can also use aphysical anchor with it. Touch your inner elbow,

    make a special movement, tap a part of your

    body pick what works best for you and what

    you will remember. This will help anchor (a ba-

    sic NLP* technique) the thought and emotion

    with the movement and you can use it to bringback the feeling and positive belief associated

    with it. This is just one of many tools that you

    can use to support your new lifestyle change.

    Know that in your heart and soul that eat-

    ing the way Mother Nature intended will makeyou healthy. Eating this way will bring the

    change in your life that you have been wanting.

    Section Three Starting your

    raw food dietThere are many thoughts about how to get

    started. Some will recommend going 100% raw

    right away. Some will say start with a gradual

    change. I recommend the latter. Even though go-

    ing 100% will bring you the greatest results thefastest, your body is not used to eating all these

    good foods and fiber. You could have issues with

    digestion (gas, bloating, etc.) and feel very un-

    comfortable and might cause you to go back to

    what is the most comfortable and familiar.

    So starting with one meal a day 100% raw

    for 2 3 weeks is the way I recommend. I also

    feel that with your other meals you should add

    more raw foods. A large salad, raw tomatoes or

    some of the recipes in the book should be the

    large part of each meal and the rest should only

    be more like sides. After the first few weeks you

    can make another meal 100% raw and leave one

    meal with cooked foods. You can stay this way

    for a long time if you like. Just make sure that

    the majority of what you are eating is raw vegan

    food. But if you want the best diet you can eat

    you should take the next step and go 100% raw.

    It is what you leave out of your diet that is

    the most important. Here is a small list of things

    to remove as soon as you can:

  • 7/30/2019 Raw Licious

    16/156

    16

    Soda any kind

    Milk and milk productsCoffee and caffeinated beverages

    Meat, fish and chicken

    Processed foods

    Candy

    Regular table salt

    Sugar except natural raw honey, and/or rawagave nectar

    Breads

    Pasta

    Artificial anything

    Sports drinks

    Stop smoking I cant begin to cover all the

    reasons to quit

    I think you get the idea. Some can go right

    away, some will take longer. Substitute other foods

    for these foods. There is raw pasta for cooked pasta.There are other drinks you can make instead of cof-

    fee and soda lemonade, herbal teas, Kombucha to

    name a few. Celtic sea salts instead of table salt,

    fruits (grapes, berries, dates) instead of candy are a

    couple of examples of things you can substitute.

    Remember not to restrict yourself on most rawfoods. But I would watch it a bit with dates. They

    are calorie dense and can hold up your weight loss

    progress.

    One way to get used to the high fiber foods

    like greens is to do what David Wolfe and myself

  • 7/30/2019 Raw Licious

    17/156

    17

    recommend, drink fresh made green juice. I used a

    lot of green juice in the beginning and it did won-

    ders for me. I killed my appetite due the nutrient

    dense foods I was consuming. It was training my

    body to be able to digest the green foods. People

    who have been eating the SAD diet (Standard

    American Diet) are not used to eating foods that

    have high fiber content. They need to be recondi-

    tioned so that they can eat these foods again. If youeat a large amount of salad or greens without train-

    ing your digestive system to eat these foods it will

    wonder what youre putting in it. What most likely

    will happen is that it will pass through undigested

    looking about the same coming out as going in.

    This is an indication that you are not ready

    for large amounts of greens and fibrous foods. So

    try the juicing at first. Fresh green juices can act

    like liquid plumber and you can experience some in-

    testinal cleansing at first. This is normal and you

    should continue with the green juice.

    Food Balancing

    Foods should be balanced with carbohydrates,

    fats and proteins in this order. Our society has this

    love of protein and has been sold a large bill ofgoods over protein. Yes, protein is essential, but we

    dont need the amount that we have been led to be-

    lieve. Most of the raw foods in nature have the

    amount of protein that is needed to live and thrive.

    The great apes are the most similar to us and a lot

    larger and stronger. They get all the protein they

  • 7/30/2019 Raw Licious

    18/156

    18

    need from the leaves, shoots and plants they eat.

    They digest foods just like us and have the same nu-

    tritional requirements. Think of the animals that we

    eat for protein cattle, chicken, lamb, etc. Where

    do they get their protein from? Grasses, grains,

    plants and some vegetables are their primary source

    of nutrition. So Mother Nature makes its food in the

    correct balance. Man is always trying to improve

    on what nature intended. Look at many of thethings that he thought he could improve on but

    never lived up to or functioned the way it was in-

    tended.

    So basically if you eat a raw food diet you

    will get the nutrients that you require. Remembervariety, it will do the most for you. If you eat just

    one or two types of foods it will be hard to get all

    the nutrients that you need. Make a varied diet of

    foods. The more colorful your food choices are the

    better. A whole book could be written to give the

    benefits of all the foods available. You can just usethe recipes in this book to get a good varied diet.

    You can also create you own to mimic some of your

    favorite foods.

    Section Four -

    Detox and cleansingOne of the things you will experience on this

    diet is a detox. It can come in many forms. It is

    your bodys natural way of cleansing itself. Rashes,

    headaches, diarrhea, being tired, and anxiety are just

    a few things that could happen. This is good. Itmeans that your body is cleansing and should hap-

    pen. It is when it doesnt happen that you need to

    look at what your have been doing. You should

    modify your diet to more raw consumption to get

    some detox effects. If detox does not occur your

    body could be in a very toxic state and needs to bekicked up a notch and monitored closely. I experi-

    enced rashes and some intestinal distress as my de-

    tox symptoms.

    Detox may not happen right away. It can

    happen even several months later when on a rawdiet. Dont be afraid when it does happen. Embrace

    it and know that those toxins in your body that have

    been there for a lifetime are now coming out. Con-

    sume more water rich fruits and vegetables. Drink

    more filtered water. You want to help flush these

    toxins out. I still get detox symptoms even after be-ing raw for a while. I have heard accounts of old

    tastes coming out like drug addicts who used co-

    caine said that they could taste it even after being

    clean for years. Just remember this is a form of

    house cleaning and your body will need to be

    cleansed.

  • 7/30/2019 Raw Licious

    20/156

    20

    There are some different cleanses on the mar-

    ket and some are good and some not. Some folks

    recommend colonics to help with cleansing. I would

    not recommend doing any of these procedures until

    you have been raw for a while and your body has a

    chance to adjust to the new lifestyle.

    Your small intestine has a mucous plaque

    built up in it that protects the body from the cookedfood is consuming. This plaque also slows down the

    absorption of nutrients. The longer you stay on the

    raw food diet the more of this plaque will go away

    and you will absorb nutrients more readily. One

    thing that will happen that if you consume cooked

    foods after being on a raw diet for a while, you canfeel sick from it. That plaque is gone and the

    chemically change food do to cooking will seem

    like a foreign substance to your body and it will re-

    act negatively to it.

    So try avoiding all cooked foods after youhave gone 100% raw. This will not happen as much

    if you chose to keep some cooked foods in your

    diet. It is a trade off for the most health you can

    achieve or being able to eat some cooked foods. I

    would choose the first and get the most that you can

    out of your life and foods. But remember that anyamount of raw food in your diet is going to be a

    benefit to you. I just recommend as much as you

    can.

    Section Five Tools Needed in

    the KitchenIn this recipe book you will find many delicious and

    easy to make recipes. Here are a few suggested

    kitchen tools to make preparation a little easier.

    Food Processor to puree, chop, slice andmix many of the dishes. I recommend getting

    the best quality due to the amount of use this

    appliance will get.

    Blender to blend smoothies, fruit drinks,

    puree and mix recipes. Again you get whatyou pay for get a good one. Vitamix is the

    best. I use cheaper units and tend to kill one

    once in a while. They will work fine for most

    applications.

    Saladacco Spiral Slicer this little gem willmake it possible to make many of the

    pastas that are in this book. It will make

    vegetables into thin strips resembling pasta.

    It will cut and slice in a rapid fashion as well.

    Dehydrator this is used to make some ofthe breads and crackers. You can dry fruit

    and make granola, pizza, sandwiches and a

    variety of other delicious items. I recommend

    the Excalibur line. These dehydrators are

    very high quality units.

    Juicer For making healthy, delicious andnutritious juices. There are two types masti-

    cating and centrifugal. For most of your eve-

    ryday juicing the centrifugal ones will work

    just fine. For wheat grass and other leafy

    drinks you should get a masticating one.

    There are many high quality ones on the mar-

    ket.

    Water Filter for pure filtered water. I dontrecommend using tap water due to the impu-

    rities in it.

    A good set of knives Let me tell you howimportant these are. I bought a really good

    set and I thought I went to heaven! A good set

    will save you time and money in the kitchen.

    Sharp knives will make food cutting much

    faster, easy and more accurate. Dont skimp

    here!

    Serving Bowls A good set of serving bowlsare helpful and will make your presentation

    look better.

    Sprouting bags or jars Many recipes callfor sprouted seeds or nuts. You can use a

    sprouting bag to do this. They are available

    on the internet. I got mine on ebay with my

    dehydrator. Sprouting jars work as well as

    bags.

    23

    Rack to store fruits and vegetables some

    fruits and vegetables will keep well whenstored on a rack and some may need to ripen

    more and need to be set out on racks.

    Section Six - Ingredient choices

    When choosing ingredients you should gowith the freshest that you can find. Try to stay away

    from any canned or cooked ingredients. Frozen

    vegetables are ok but they lose about 30% of their

    nutrients and I think they can loose some life energy

    and enzymes as well. Once in a while use is fine.

    Next I would go with organic ingredients.

    Organic ingredients have about 5 time the amount of

    nutrients as standard produce and dont have the

    amount of pesticides and chemicals in them. You

    will support your local organic farmers if you buy

    from them. This helps the earth as well. Organicfarmers are kinder to the environment and there is

    not as much pollution put into the environment from

    trucking. There is the benefit of getting the nutri-

    ents that were intended for the area you are living

    in. The crops grown in your area are adapted to the

    climate and area concerns and will supply you with

    the nutrients you need to thrive in that environment.

    Some of the ingredients I call for are super

    foods and cant be purchased from local farmers. In

    this case go to your local health food store or health

    food super store (Wild oats, Whole foods) and get

    the ingredients called for. Some major food stores

    are now carrying organic produce and even Wal-

    mart (oh my!) is carrying some organic items.

    Again, stay away from processed foods even with

    an organic label. They are better than the usual

    products but are still cooked and processed. Stick

    with fresh produce and ingredients.

    Watch out for added sugar and sulfur on dried

    fruits and nuts. Often some dried fruits are coated

    with sugar and should be avoided. Sulfur is used in

    the processing of dried fruits and figs. If you cannot

    find what you need make your own! They will be

    fresher and you can control how they were made.

    Nuts should always be raw. Dont buy them

    roasted. Raw is how they were intended to be con-

    sumed. There is some controversy over cashews.

    They are not a true nut but a penduckle and some

    people feel they should be avoided. The outer shellon a cashew is poisonous and can sting to the touch.

    Cashew sometimes are called raw and really are not.

    They have been cooked some to remove the outer

    shell and are partially raw. I feel they can be in-

    cluded on a raw food diet but in moderation. Please

    check the source and make sure they are 100% raw.

    Section Seven Exercise and

    MeditationEven though this is a raw food recipe book, I

    feel that exercise can be one of the best cleansers

    and disciplines that can be done for health. I will

    cover some briefly. Modern society has made it so

    we dont get the activity level of our ancestors even the more recent ones. Life in the old time

    called for more physical activity and an exercise

    program wasnt needed. There are many wonderful

    exercise programs out there and you can choose

    from a variety of them.

    Having an extensive background in the mar-

    tial arts I tend to lean towards Tai Chi and other

    eastern martial disciplines for exercise. Yoga, pi-

    lates, Tai Bo, aerobics and others are wonderful

    choices. Walking should be included in a raw food

    lifestyle. Our ancestors walked to get to most

    places. It will increase your metabolism and help

    with your digestion of food. Thirty to forty minutes

    of walking daily would be great. More would be

    even better.

    Weight resistance training can help put mus-

    cle on and burn fat. A good routine can burn fat

    faster than an aerobics program can. As the body

    puts on muscle it will burn more calories even at

    rest and will increase your metabolism. This form

    of exercise will make it so you will not have that

    sunken or super skinny look that you may have seen

    in some vegetarians. They needed to add resistance

    to their lifestyle so they can keep themselves at a

    healthy body weight.

    Meditation is an important tool for your visu-

    alizations and to bring your body to a balanced

    state. Again there are guided meditations, silent

    meditations and a variety of moving ones (Tai Chifor one and Yoga) that incorporate meditation and

    exercise. These are again my recommendations.
