“Have You Ever Wondered Why Many on the Raw Food Diet are STILL Unhealthy?”

If you feel confused about health and diet, read this.

By Frederic Patenaude

On a beautiful late afternoon in 1998, I was walking down a hill in sunny San Diego, California.

I had been a 100% raw-foodist for over two years, and thought I was on the best diet in the world, one that would bring me optimal health and longevity.

Yet that fateful day, as pretty as it was, a mysterious ailment struck me and left me crippled in bed for a month.

All of a sudden and without warning, all of my energy was drained out of my body. I felt so weak that I could barely walk a few steps without feeling exhausted. On top of that, my blood sugar was completely out of control.

Before this day, I never told the story of what really happened and how I almost destroyed my health on the raw food diet. Now I am ready to reveal it all and expose some of the most well-kept secrets of the raw-food movement that other raw-food leaders don’t want you to know.

This mysterious illness lasted a few months and included many other frightening symptoms.

Even when it was all over with, I still did not feel the benefits that were promised to me by the raw food gurus. I was looking for better health, less sleep, more energy and vitality… and yet I needed more sleep, had less energy and was increasingly worried about my long-term health.

I thought 100% raw was the only answer… yet my health was still in obvious decline, and I was only 22 years old!

Yet, a few years later, I was still not doing any better. To add insult to injury, I eventually developed almost 40 cavities after a few years of strict raw-foodism.

The story I’m about to tell will not only expose all of the lies, misconceptions and controversies about the raw food diet, but also reveal in details the truth that many other raw-foodists try to hide… which is that the raw-food diet, when done improperly, can lead to horrible health problems.

But after nearly destroying my health following the wrong advice, and having seen hundreds of others do the same, I’m ready to break my 14-year silence and expose the lies and debunk the most damaging myths that are spread in the raw-food movement in a way that has never been done before.

Who Is This Man, and How Can What He Says Be True?

After 20 years of experience, I’m ready to reveal the truth other raw food gurus don’t want you to know.

In 1997, I was an unknown 21 year-old French Canadian with a passion for health and raw-foodism, who decided to move to California to learn with the best of the best about the raw food lifestyle.

I did not just passively do this diet on my own, but rather I worked with the top raw-food leaders, such as David Wolfe, Gabriel Cousens, Juliano, David Jubb, and many others.

I was truly behind the scenes of the raw-food movement, and over the years have had the chance to witness the dramatic difference between the ideal of raw-foodism and the reality.

Often people ask me, “Fred, maybe you just had a bad experience… everybody is different. Maybe what didn’t work for you works for other people.”

To that I say: Yes! But what doesn’t work doesn’t work in general. It’s just that some people are slow to show symptoms and negative results.

What About You?

Maybe you’re new to the raw food diet, or maybe you’ve been playing with the concept for many years.

In either case, you probably find the variety of approaches too confusing.

Some suggest juicing, others suggest blending. Some suggest that fruit is best, others say to stay away from fruit. Some say to eat no fat at all, while others say we should have a lot of healthy fats. Some recommend a vegan diet, while others say we can’t be healthy unless we eat some animal products.

It’s like looking at the signpost at an intersection that says “Health” and 20 signs are pointing in all different directions!

With all the confusion in the raw food world, it may seem impossible to find the truth.

Fortunately, today you can for the first time hear the candid revelations of a raw-foodist who has been there and done everything, and debunks the biggest myths and controversies.

After publishing a number of interviews and articles on this website presenting the raw vegan diet in a more balanced perspective, I got hundreds of e-mails of people thanking me for this information. Many said that this information freed them, but now they’re still wondering what to eat.

If you’re reading this, you probably already know about the raw food diet. So before I tell you about my program, and before I go into more details about how you can do this practically in the real world, I want you to review the top 6 reasons you might NOT think that this diet is for you, or that you think you already know enough about it on your own.

The reason I’m doing this upfront is because I want to get your resistance out of the way so you don’t self-sabotage yourself by not taking action now. So based on my surveys and experience, here are the 6 most common reasons for this confusion.

Confusion Reason #1:

“I don’t know if I can get enough nutrients and protein with just raw foods.”

Frederic’s Response: You can get not only ENOUGH protein on the raw food diet, but by eating raw foods you’ll get the best quality amino acids (the building blocks of protein).In my book “The Raw Secrets” I discuss how you will actually get MORE nutrients on the raw food diet, and give you specific guidelines on what foods to eat to get the best nutrition. I also tell you about the TWO important nutrients you have to watch for… no matter what diet you’re on.

Confusion Reason #2:

“I don’t want to limit my diet to just raw foods.”

Frederic’s Response: You don’t have to limit yourself to just raw foods in order to get the benefits! Many people eat only 50% raw foods and receive tremendous benefits. As long as you know which are the most important foods to eat, and the ones you should avoid, and you learn how to do this diet properly, you will succeed no matter how much raw foods you want to incorporate in your diet.

Confusion Reason #3:

“I cannot seem to avoid cravings for bread and chocolate, or other cooked foods.”

Frederic’s Response: Cravings are a big issue and it seems most people cannot avoid cravings for foods such as bread, chocolate, pasta, etc., when they go on a diet. The truth is that if your diet is balanced and contains enough calories and nutrients, you will not crave cooked foods or junked foods. If you follow a raw food diet and have cravings, you’re doing something wrong!

Confusion Reason #4:

“I don’t know how I could have a social life on this diet.”

Frederic’s Response: You don’t have to be an outcast in order to be healthy! You can still go out for dinner, enjoy the company of your friends and enjoy delicious foods, while at the same time reaping all the benefits from the raw food diet.

Confusion Reason #5:

“I’m not sure how I can get enough energy just eating raw foods.”

Frederic’s Response: The most important benefit that the raw food diet can give you is increased energy. However, you have to know certain important concepts in order to experience this benefit.

A Health Survey

Please answer the following questions truthfully. Check the marks if you answer “yes”.

 You have amazing energy. You wake up in the morning ready to go, and you rarely feel ups an downs in your energy during the day. Your skin looks great. People often comment how clear your skin is. You’re at your ideal weight. Your friends envy you and ask you what kind of diet you follow. You don’t feel deprived when eating. You can eat as much as you want and not gain weight. You fall asleep easily. You rarely suffer from insomnia. Your sleep is deep and sound. You have regular bowel movement and rarely experience constipation or indigestion. You look younger than most people of your age. You have greater than average fitness even when you don’t exercise regularly. Your eyes are clear and bright. People often comment on how bright your eyes are. You feel happy for no reason. You don’t need coffee to stimulate you or alcohol to make you laugh. You are never depressed. You can easily focus and concentrate for long hours without feeling tired. You are in touch with your intuition. You “instinctively” know when something is good for you.What is your score? How many boxes did you check? 

How to Get a Perfect Score

Let’s be honest. Chances are that if you’re reading this, you did not check all 12 boxes. In fact, you may be wondering if it’s actually possible to experience all these benefits.

So what does all this mean?

I created this list because those are the most common benefits people experience when they eat raw and living foods.

A word from the author, Frederic Patenaude

Dear friend,

There are times when trying to prove the value of something isn’t even necessary, because the product in question has already proved itself.

This is the case with my book, The Raw Secrets— one of the rare books in the raw-food movements people absolutely rave about.

Here’s, for example, a letter I received recently:

Dear Frederic,

I wanted to thank you for changing my life.

I started on the raw food path (or so I thought) in September 2004. I decided it was the right choice for me after experiencing acne and hyperpigmented skin patches over 30% of my body.

For six month, I was combining all the wrong foods and seeing little results. Then I stumbled onto your site and read “The Raw Secrets”; I was instantly relieved and overjoyed.

Today, I am a totally renewed person. I look better than ever and feel amazing. I can’t wait for “Instant Raw Sensations.”

I have tried every recipe in your “Raw Soups” book and I love most of them. I have two green smoothies each day and I can’t live without these.

The more I learn from you, the more inspired I am to live my best life! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Peace be with you,

G. R.

Starter Kit Component #3:

“Recipe Book: Instant Raw Sensations!”

As you already know, most recipe books eventually become relics in the kitchen. Why? The recipes are too complicated, long to prepare and contain ingredients you don’t have or don’t know where to find! Raw-food recipe books also often require several expensive kitchen appliances. And what about that huge mess you have to make in the kitchen, slaving for hours just to prepare that one dish?

Enter: Instant Raw Sensations. Finally a book with recipes that are easy to prepare and ingredients you can easily find. Most recipes can be prepared in less than 10 minutes with a simple cutting board and blender. And guess what? They taste amazing too!

What’s different with this book?

• The recipes are time-tested and are the kinds you’ll find yourself making over and over again. This is a recipe book you’ll want to keep forever!
• The recipes are easy to prepare! Effortlessly, you’ll be putting together the best raw-food recipes in a flash.
• The recipes are clearly explained and use ingredients that are easy to find, not some sort of weird seasonings from China. There’s no jumping from page-to-page to make that special sauce that you need for that one recipe!
• Most recipes can be made in 10 minutes or less, some in 5 minutes or less!
• To make almost every recipe, you only need a cutting board and a blender! No dehydrator or special equipment required.
• The recipes in Instant Raw Sensations are healthy and easy to digest! I follow proper food combining in almost every recipe. They are designed with my expertise as a raw chef and my knowledge as a health educator combined.

What’s in the Book?

Here’s an overview of the book:

• Smoothies & Shakes Revisited — In this section you’ll find creative ideas for your smoothies. I guarantee that those creative recipes are some “never-seen-before” stuff that will surprise you!

• Dressings You Never Thought Were Possible — Finally, easy dressings that are healthy for you! None of my dressing recipes contain oil, yet they are all super delicious, satisfying and easy to prepare.
• Dips, Pâtés & Side Dishes (When you want something substantial) — Those are some creative recipes for dips and pâtés. Fresh and easy to digest, those were my rules when designing those recipes.
• Let’s Get Fancy (or Not) — This is a fun section with creative recipes such as the “Take-No-Prisoners Submarine Rolls”! Yet, they follow the same rigorous guidelines of quality as everything else in the book.

My Book: “The Raw Vegan Coach”

“Answers to your questions on the Low Fat Raw Food Diet”

When I said that there’s a state of mass confusion in the raw food movement, I was not exaggerating.

You have some authors who will tell you that fruit is bad for you and should be avoided, while others will praise fruit as the ultimate food and tell you that’s all you should be eating.
