Just add some lemon juice to the avocados and bananas and they wont brown nearly as quickly.

I am actually about to watch that video after watching this one, I saw the video title and was going to wonder your take on it. Now I know. :)

People have been telling her that cashews aren't raw for AGES and she still didn't get it.. Oh well

First Last yikes! Who hurt you?

It’s is good that she’s a “close enough” raw vegan. It could be even more restrictive.

Saltpork305 omg this made me giggle 😆

@Jessie Jay I don't know, but I'd take spinach over kale any day. It actually tastes like food, too

@Jessie Jay kale is higher in calcium and protein while spinach is higher in iron

Yeah, a little bit of kale goes a long way. I could not imagine eating anywhere near that much.

@@Food5Thought oh god, I once bought frozen kale and expected it to taste like spinach because it looked similar in that form and I was sooo disappointed 😂

Honestly, id watch it. I find her demeanor and reactions pretty entertaining and sometimes funny.

I'm on it... Wait, I have zero editing skills. Sorry.

Audrey Scanlon it’s ok! I don’t either. Luckily she has 175k subscribers so hopefully someone else can do it for us 🤣

I bet you can find way more than 10 minutes of footage

More like 10 hours

@joy yell she's raw vegan, big difference...

I believe Kristina is anti-sunscreen. She does spend a lot of time in the sun which can lead to premature aging.

Shes 29??? I honestly thought she was in her 40s and looking pretty good for 40

Lack of fat

She is 31 btw

Yeah when Kristina's video came out about that that part made me angry. I was suicidal for twenty years and even though I am not anymore, I did get onto her about not really knowing what it really is like to be suicidal and she asked me "but did you watch the video?" And I did. Twice.

I literally cackled at the question marks Swayze added. Like Kristina is such a mess that some shit she says doesn't even warrant a response.

I attempted suicide and survived. (I'm okay now ❤️😌) So being a person with severe depression that was pretty damn offensive...

@@humko3924 I don't think she meant it like an accusation. I never watched her videos, but she seems like a sweet person. I got it more like she thinks it's a crime because your life is precious, you are precious, and it's a "crime" to take a life? That's how I understood it. It certainly did not come across as an accusation - to me.

@@humko3924 And I want to say I am so happy you survived and feeling better. Take care and be kind to yourself. You're worth it.

Vegan Lifter it almost seems like some people have some sort of eating disorder 😩

Vegan Lifter you’ll never understand until you try it yourself, it’s pretty cool. I’ve tried it before just to see how I felt and I liked it. However I also feel great eating whole Foods Lol

n Dez Why would I take a step back in evolution to eating only raw foods? Makes no sense.

n Dez I tried it for 4 days and fucking hated it. I was freezing (ND gets down to -20*F) and couldn’t get enough food in me to save my life even though the volume I was eating made me look 10x worse that I did. Eating non-whole foods, 100+g of protein a day of tasty tasty mock meats and bread vegan diet is what works for me 👍🏼 (BTW I’ve lost 25lbs eating this way)

megan nice!!! So happy for you! I get that it can be hard, for me it was hard too but I’m a little extra and very hard on myself when it comes to discipline so I wanted to try it lol. I def eat lots of junk food lol

I agree. I have disliked some videos with people pushing that mushroom stuff.

It can't be raw but she's shillin' so doesn't care, just like she goes on about saving the oceans from plastic but hocks bottled water.

It’s a scam. There are all these things you can buy now in the supermarket for less than $5 a pound that used to be sold as miracle health foods for over $5 an ounce. It’s the same with these.

I tried a sample packet because they were on sale for a buck. It tasted like garbage >: (.

It's on non vegan channels too.

Ikr? It's winter, FFS!

IKR...Damn, no hot soup? Can she take a hot shower? Jeez...

@@Candiedcurlies35 looool! I honestly thought for a second about it - can she drink tea? Is boiling hot water forbidden, too? It all seems so insane, i dont know where rawfoodists draw their imaginery line

Kristina has quite a few soup recipes including warm ones.

@@clairesmithe HOT soup, not slightly warm.

Mary Grace Seagraves my bearded dragon eats it but he eats bugs. So everything tastes good to him I guess

Best comment ever ahahahah

My high speed blender still couldn't puree the stalks properly after I'd boiled the kale for over an hour in soup...Does being raw vegan give you superhuman teeth?!

I fucking love cooked kale but eating it raw wouldn’t ever cross my mind. My favourite way to cook it is by frying some onions, once they’re browned chuck the cut-up kale in there, add some water and put the lid on. Once the kale is soft dilute some mustard in water, add that as well as salt pepper and marjoram. I also like to add diced smoked tofu. The combination of kale, mustard and marjoram is perfect 👌🏻

KALE IS GREAT, YOU JUST NEED TO SOFTEN IT FOR SALADS AND IT'S GREAT IN SOUPS, IT'S TYPICALLY TO ROUGH AND HARD RAW

Why doesn't she have balsamic vinegar in her _balsamic_ dressing?

Also, wtf is "raw" apple cider vinegar? how do you have "raw" protein powder? like wtf

I did the same thing. I just try to have greens, a little fruit, and hit my protein intake. I also take vitamins.. And eat cooked. Its just better

eat your factory farmed chicken if you want to be ´normal`.

orangej I was the same, juice fasts, at home colonics, weird “superfoods” that cost me £££. I feel so much more balanced now I eat soy, beans, fats, oils, salt etc.

@@clairesmithe so a normal diet means eating chicken? And you assume we are eating that? Uhm okay. Dont care why you care or take the time to right that. I guess being vegan isn't enough for some pple who just need an excuse to be a judgmental jerk

​@@DoctorMommy24 ofcourse it does. most people eat chicken and normal means conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected. plant based is abnormal whether you follow the `nutrition facts` diet or the fully raw one. atleast the fully raw one could be considered normal in comparison with other species of animal where as the `nutrition facts` diet conforms with the carnist diet replacing the steak with a `vegan steak`. it is vegan aswell whereas the `nutrition facts` diet contains synthetic chemicals and herbicides etc. that do not conform to the definiton of veganism as wholesome foods. if we want to encourage normality then eating chicken is the obvious outcome and we have to discourage atypical diets like `nutrition facts` as being eating disorders indicative of mental illness. there must be an imbalance in your brain chemistry talking about micrwaved broccoli and cooking tomatoes with tofu burgers and taking vitamin d supplements etc. its orthorexia obsessing over `nutrition facts` counting calories and checking labels for animal products. fully raw is just the thin edge of the wedge they want you to stick to your `nutrition facts` diet and go carnist. they obviously realise the raw foodies are not going to take much notice but you lot will be worried about the stigma of being associated with crazy raw foodists and gulp down your lab meat and roast it on hot coals and then you definitely wont be vegan by any stretch of the imagination. like really do you even believe this bs about " TONS of salad and fruit at the end of the night and i was binging a ton on "raw chocolate" and coconut cream." really like a tonne of coconut cream and still starving hey. sounds really bad it must mean cooking the chocolate and coconut would really help to make it fill you up more. all those people who survived on coconuts must have been pullying the hair out trying to make a fire to cook their coconuts. maybe its even true but that would only suggest the cooking really does cause some serious issues.

You know in biz they have what they call a sweet spot for the amount of sugar in products, there's an exact amount, if under not sweet enough but if slightly over it turns people off eating the product. Adverts are like this also, a few is ok but once they go over a certain amount even those who may have bought are so annoyed they want to boycott...that's what they have done, everyone now rolls their eyes upon hearing their biz name. Big fail.

@@joan-lisa-smith Yeah, when I first started hearing about them on Rich Roll interviews, I was thinking it was a cool idea. Now every KZfaqr is sponsored by them, hahaha

and like now I'm all "NO THANKS FOUR SIGMATIC... pleas go away FOUR SIGMATICCCC ughhh" @@Food5Thought

Coffee fueled me this entire semester and will continue to throughout my entire PhD program.

Couldn't imagine life without it.

@@Haley_Wozniak that's an addiction lol

i will enjoy red wine until I die. Everything is bad for you

Aliluyah

Yeah, that's a problem, I hope she doesn't choose to keep that over her health :(

Yeah changing her brand would be very hard.

Christina right? Never having hot food sounds like the most depressing thing ever.

Yeah as a New England resident I could eat cold during summer but during the winter I want warm food cause snow is rough

Same here. Most raw food is cooling & may increase moisture in the body (which is a cause of disease in Ayurveda & TCM). Smoothies don't work for me.

Yeah, Georgia winters say no raw diet for me 🤣

I agree! Would make for a great video. :)

Second that! Even the vegan society recommends against relying on iodised salt for iodine :(

Salt all day son Long as you got your potassium up you are good. And get the good quality salt

Agree. I was very intrigued by your remark about sodium in the video. Could you explain what you meant? Thanks.

+

Yes that also enlighten me (but I never buy that stuff just high speed blender is already perfect)

ITS £600!!!!!

Yeah, there's a lot of silly stuff we see, I really like this lady pointing out some these ridiculous choices

@what ever your choosing to watch the video. Your allowing her to make money from you watching her video, even though you hate her content. You are literally supporting her by watching her content and commenting.

@what ever if this is her hobby then why would she need another one. Lol?

It makes it easier to consume more fruits at once. I, personally, don't like bananas. The only way I can eat them is in a smoothie. But Kitchenaid makes really good blenders for a pretty good price.

@@GIZMOmcabr I get that, but FRK has been using (adverising) this specific blender as it helps "retain more nutrients." It's a bullshit claim. Also, yes smoothies can be a great way to get more fruits/veggies in, and they can also be a great way to get excess calories in as well. If you don't like bananas, then you don't need to eat them.

I think we hadn't racked up enough generational loss of physiological integrity to require so much nutrition

Eh, I tend not to buy into that sort of thing. Like UV's recent video RE: vegan carbonara, people tell me some dish "isn't" that dish without meat, cheese, etc. So she's probably just using that word because it resembles a vinaigrette. Not advocating for a raw diet or anything. I eat cooked foods for like every meal. And oil very regularly.

@@kateliness2 I get what you're saying but vinaigrette is mostly oil. So there's no point calling it that if it's not gonna be _anything_ like it. There's still such a word as "dressing" right ?😂

@@dedoubecool That's true. Though balsamic vinaigrette sounds better than balsamic dressing haha.

The word "vinaigrette" is a diminutive of vinaigre(vin=wine, aigre=sour), which means vinegar in French. The most important ingredient is the vinegar. While a vinaigrette will *typically* have oil and seasonings, it can be made without oil I guess, although I wouldn't find that very satisfying taste-wise.

@@carolynhance5588 despite the name, the ratio or oil to vinegar is traditionally 3 to 1. Therefore oil is the main component.

And. Its so expensive

It actually tastes good. Not sure if its "magical" but the turmeric tea i bought was enjoyable

Serena Brann why aren’t olives raw??

I think the issue with olives is that they are packed in brine and salty which some raw vegans take issue with. I've heard some say they can't be considered raw because of that. I've watched many of Kristina's recipe/what I ate in a day videos and I've never seen her eat olives. I'm no expert on what is and isn't allowed on a raw vegan diet though.

Serena Brann she mentioned recently that she started incorporating salt into her diet, so maybe that’s why she’s eating olives...?

Is she eating raw or over night style oats?

Serena, she did at the top of the comments

mikandra kate she always refers to research primary, review, metareview etc. When you want to find something out search google and look for the most credible sources. The more informed you become the deeper you can get into the research it all comes from. PubMed, Google scholar and other specific research search engines are available when you’re ready

Click on her description, she cites her sources there

Of your binge eating a bunch of fruit, then your going to gain weight due to all of the sugar. It depends on what your eating. Thats also how they make some of these diets seem appealing "eat however much you want and never gain weight"

Binge eating isn't just physically unhealthy, it's mentally unhealthy. Eating tons of food and feeling like you have no control is not a good thing even if you don't gain weight. I think a raw diet actually promotes those behaviors instead of fixing them. This creates an unhealthy relationship with food.

@@ellioa3978 carbs is all sugar regardless if it is starch or fructose.

No, it's really not helpful. Coming from someone with BED, it's probably one of the worst things you can do.

Well, I realise that. I guess I frased it wrong, it's just that I noticed the correlation between raw foodists and binge eaters. Its a "perfect way" to "take care of the problem" without actually solving the mental issue.

Wait, I thought kale was good? Seems like depending on who you ask every single food on this earth is either bad or will kill you.

@@leggomyweavo sure it is "good for you" but that does not make it good to eat though.

Simyon Lashon I think he’s more talking about how kale makes some people feel, not necessarily the health effects of it :)

gas is part of life... grow up and deal with it. even if you don't eat anything you'll have gas...

i LOVEE the texture of kale personally! yum

Lol, ya and she kept posting it was America wide so "follow and like all my channels to win" to get her numbers up yet the rules on her website clearly stated it was only for residents of Texas.

Lol, i agree

Jesus! And all of them are health and biology experts too!! 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂

I don't think she meant it like "oh, she's eating too much", but for example if I wanted to do that diet and I only need 1800 calories a day I would either have to really overeat or fall short in a lot of essential minerals.

If your consistently not meeting your nutritional needs then your eventually going to be deficient. And there was more than one thing wrong with this diet. Plus She can only measure the nutrients based on what's in the videos that kristina makes, so if Kristina's eating a perfectly balanced diet everyday no one would know unless she made a video about it.

@@ellioa3978 yes, but the question is nit picking, do you think that everyone but Kristina have perfect diets? that Unnatural vegan herself has a perfect diet? She does look sick in camera... this is not an attack towards you a.i.c, you are right in what you say, it's just that you responded to the first comment that commented on Unnatural Vegan's nazi attitude. But I mean... come on! She got to the point to even criticize Kristina's app for not being available for android!! alluding that that was another thing that Kristina is doing wrong because people that use apple products are bad (because apple has a bad customer service ?!?!?! ). Maybe Unnatural vegan is 100% healthy and perfect in every aspect while Kristina is the worst thing that ever walked on earth... but my god, for someone so healthy and illuminated Unnatural has quite a petty and intolerant attitude towards everyone else.

@@angelap.8160 You seem to be the one nitpicking. Her saying that kristinas app is only supported on apple isn't against kristina, she point out that she doesn't like apple. She cant criticize that app because she hasn't used it, because she cant get the app because its only supported on apple device which she doesn't own.

@@angelap.8160 "Nazzi attitude" I dont understand what you mean by that. She made a video about a KZfaqr who does a raw diet properly and meets pretty much all of her nutritional needs.

@@angelap.8160 Also, a long time ago UV predicted that kristina would be moving away from her extreme diet and i think this is just keeping tabs on kristina. UV dislikes some of kristinas beliefs like it being unnecessary to supplement for b12 but she likes her as a person, shes practically said as much in other videos.

Why not just look on the channel then you'd know?

Too many. Can't come up with a video on your own?

That makes it even worse. I wouldnt be able to survive without hotfood😂

Remember last year when it got down to 18 f in Texas ?! Really makes you want some cold soup

@@ellioa3978 yeah, not arguing that. We're in fall. Which mean it will go from freezing to warm to freezing to HORRIBLE STORM!!!!!! Back to freezing. And yes some how it being kinda warm makings the freezing so much worse. More so when it's in the same day

@@rate2875 yeah, I was baking a lot. I like to bake when it's cold. Helps warm up your house and yummy food. My ovens on a lot when it's cold out. I never understood why people think it doesn't get cold here. I mean I know other places get colder. Like I know they go into the negatives. But that doesn't mean we aren't cold. I mean imagine going from like 110 to 20. It's a change

@@theluckypoptart2945 i think most people feel like the weather is more consistent through out the year there where as places like newyork get more extreme winter weather.

It just seems unnecessarily restrictive, and hard to stick with.

That's part of the reason why it can be considered fun. There are some people, like Kristina, who like challenges and pushing boundaries despite popular opinions. That also explains why she has been such a successful entrepreneur/business woman.

Yeah, I live in Canada and would hate life if I had to eat cold food in the fall and winter. Its cold from October/November till March/April, depending on when the weather changes

I tried fixing that with pills that were vegan sources of omegas and after years of having thinning hair and nails I could bend upwards that were transparent I started eating salmon, prob solved (hair back and white hard nails). Good luck tho.

She has a video on EPA and DHA if I remember right. Those are available in supplement form.

@@joan-lisa-smith Interesting. How much in the way of omegas were you getting? Did you consume flax?

@@jennoscura2381 Yes and made sure it was ground flax (the seeds just go thru you) and taking 6 of these, link below, a day for years as well (so 6,000 mg plus more in the flax sprinkled on every meal) . Everyones different and I guess I just don't absorb or use vegan sources. www.nowfoods.com/supplements/omega-3-6-9-1000-mg-softgels

Supplements like DHA and Omega 3 are expensive placebos - do NOT fall for them. I researched them because I have a Neurological Condition and I was looking for things I could add to my diet to help. Only the Omega 3s that are found in whole foods like FISH are beneficial. If you have issues with eating fish - you're better off eating clams or oysters. ** I did A LOT of research as I have seizures and really needed to make sure I was consuming the right things. I can't post the studies here (my links aren't posting) but I can tell you that in study after study - when they compared Fish to the supplements - the supplements were found to have little to no impact.

Cronometer

Abby as if android is any better😀

So she makes a video to say her diet has improved after saying it was awful before and people still complain? She calls out vegans who give horrible and dangerous advice but will also say so if that changes or if she was wrong so this update is not "trolling".

Son, why are you ruining this.

Наталка xx I quit following her when she featured that disgusting bigot John Rose. The jerk is a Holocaust denier. Also her channel was just all sales for the protein powder and all her kitchen appliances. She got to where every video was identical.

Then Not being able to eat hot food would suck a lot more.

Cold is relative

Primates spend 60% of their waking time JUST EATING - and they also sleep A LOT to give their bodies time to digest all the food. Realistically - no one has that kind of time to spend eating. That's why they blend. It makes eating a ton of food easier. I'm not a Vegan or Raw Foodist, but I make a lot of smoothies.

she is on antidepressants.

She's pregnant. She's probably just out of breath.

Your stomach begs to differ...

@@GIZMOmcabr I have eaten raw kale before and i have a huge stomach, i eat at least 4200kcal a day.
