Fully Raw Kristina shares Encouraging Words to Keep Us Going Strong

At the same Health Summit in Houston, I had the sweet pleasure of meeting Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram, creator of the popular YouTube channel Fully Raw Kristina. I had the opportunity to hear her tell her story of changing her poor health into the vibrant and busy life she lives today. I have a whole new level of respect for this woman and her journey. She is truly cool. If you ever have a chance to listen to her speak live, don't miss it.

Just ordered O M Gee Good on Amazon. Turns out, they have a program called Kindle Matchbook. Order the paper version, get the Kindle version free. Woot!

Hi Jill! I was just eating all raw food and that is how I got so thin. My body just couldn't digest all that raw food. It was a popular idea some years ago, maybe 30 or so years ago. Anne Wigmore and the Hippocrates Institute were advocating all raw foods because of the enzymes in raw foods and spouts. Growing grass and making grass juice was a hot topic. There are always so many pop diets that show up. I follow the plant based diet now and am still a bit conflicted about the oil issue. I think the " not one drop of oil" is wrong Some doctors in this plant based diet even suggest not eating nuts. Dr. Greger seems pretty balanced. It is so easy to go off the rails. And, even though I followed the plant based diet, a year ago, I still needed a heart bypass operation. No diet is perfect. I think all of us must be very careful not to become radical with our eating. I am 75 years young.

How do you clean the lid of your instapot?

Hey Kristina, I just wonder, when one goes fullyraw, from what sources s/he can get amino acids (proteins). You can't eat SOYbean, bean and peas raw, right? then what's the source of protein?

Many years ago I tried the raw food diet. I was on it for about 3 years and at the end, I almost died. Please be careful. I was no able to digest so much raw food. At the end, I had lost about 40# and was down to about 100#. My daughter's friend ( they were about 13 at the time) said to her, "your mother is dying" I was so weak and thin.

Purely selfish reasons for not wanting you to go fully raw. I would miss your I POT recipes!
