PROTEIN

Sorry I did not blog yesterday.  Phillip has been sick and I just ran out of time in the day.  I think he is finally turning the corner, though.

Today I am including a link to a raw food website regarding frequently asked questions: http://www.living-foods.com/faq.html   Many of you have asked me about a raw food diet and expressed concern about lack of protein in my diet.  This website addresses the protein question toward the bottom of the page, but it also answers other questions you might be interested in reading.   In addition, it is worth noting that my doctors (a urologist and an endocrinologist) both separately recommended that I strictly limit or even eliminate animal protein in my diet, including milk, yogurt, and cheese.  The complexity of these proteins is extremely difficult for my body to break down.  Neither one of my doctors was concerned about my meeting daily protein requirements when I asked.  If it had not been for their concern about my SAD diet (Standard American Diet) I probably would not have ever even considered a raw diet.  Eating a raw diet has significantly changed my life for the better!  My attitude, my weight, my energy level, and positive health changes in my life are evident to everyone around me.  I appreciate all of your support on my journey!
