There was an internet report on a bunch of overweight, out of control diabetics that were “locked” into a yenemsveldt retreat in the wilds of Arizona, and fed only raw fruits and vegetables for two weeks, with some hiking exercise. Besides some weight loss, all presented better glucose numbers, and some were able to go insulin free. A main point you pick up in any writing on raw food diets, is that if fruits and vegetables dont fill you up, it is because you are not eating enough of them. If you have a breakfast of 3 banana, two large tomatoes, a cup of sprouts and four cucumbers, you should feel “full”
Mod 80, while green beans are delicious raw, there is a caveat: Raw beans contain a cyanide to protect the seeds from being eaten. This is mostly for the mature beans, such as soaked dry beans that are soft enough to eat, and somewhat so for fresh uncooked green beans. The cyanide is driven off as a gas after 5 minutes cooking.
