Roger Haeske – Savory Veggie Stews
From: Roger Haeske
“The 48-Year-Old Teenager” South of Bullhead City Tuesday, 3:29 p.m. If you can answer yes to many of the above questions you’re not alone. In fact, for about 5 years I used to answer YES to each and every one of them.
I used to struggle mightily with trying to stay on a 100% Raw Food Diet made up only of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.
One of the biggest problems I had was that at dinnertime I wanted something savory and filling to eat. I needed something healthy and raw to balance out the sweetness from eating fruit during the day.
“Something that reminded me of cooked food.”
Soon enough I came to the conclusion (not the right conclusion) that the only way to get that feeling was to actually eat cooked food?
I figured if I wanted the health, happiness, energy, fitness and anti-aging benefits of the Raw Food Diet (I was going to have to sacrifice flavor.)
I basically (thought I had to give up food.) Or at least anything that had any kind of decent flavor. It really felt as if I was giving up eating — which happens to be one of my favorite things to do.
In short, I thought I’d never be satisfied with the flavor and texture of food the way I was in my cooked food days.
I believed I was going to have to SACRIFICE taste and quite frankly the happiness and joy of eating, if I wanted the benefits of going 100% raw.
I Failed At Least 30 Different Times In Trying To Go 100% Raw
In my early days of trying and failing at staying 100% raw (at least 30 times I might add) I didn’t have any hearty and filling raw dinner time meal recipes.
I didn’t have anything that reminded me of my favorite cooked foods. Something that would really hit the spot and satisfy my cooked food cravings and at the same time be healthy, quick and easy to prepare.
I had no idea how to make such raw food recipes. A couple of years later I learned about some “Gourmet Raw” or high-fat raw recipes from a fancy-smancy raw chef in San Francisco, that took about an hour or longer to prepare.
I’m talking about having to make dehydrated crackers loaded with fat and salt. “Gourmet Raw” recipes with 20 different ingredients in them and often having to refer to other “full recipes” on different pages to add to the current recipe.
Heck… it was so complicated I hardly made any recipes and just gave up. Back to the drawing board again.
All of this time, effort and unhealthy “raw food” just to satisfy my cravings for cooked food
Listen carefully… if you’ve found this website you probably know that a “High Fat” Raw Food Diet or any high fat diet can lead to many severe health problems. One of the most common problems that many raw foodists get is candida.
Here’s the story, candida albicans is an epidemic amongst raw foodists. I can’t tell you how many raw foodsits I’ve met or coached who had it. It’s shocking but I know why it’s happening because I got a severe case of it myself.
Here’s the great news candida overgrowth is not caused by eating fruit — even if you eat TONS of fruit daily.
In most cases, this can always be traced back to eating the “Hollywood Raw” or “Atkins Raw” kind of super high fat Raw Food Diet. A diet which shuns our ideal food fruit and yet people are still getting candida like crazy.
The problem is not eating fruit but eating fruit and combining it with a high fat diet. Or even just eating a super high fat diet with little or no fruit – regularly causes candida outbreaks.
That is a recipe for disaster and yet most raw foodists have no idea that they’re even eating a high fat raw diet nor that the excess fat in their bloodstream is actually blocking the ability of insulin to do it’s job in delivering sugar to the cells quickly.
“The Universal Problem Every New Raw Foodist Experiences”
I’ve found the same exact problem with virtually every single one of my Raw Food Coaching clients and I’ve had hundreds of them over the past 7 years.
Back in 2003, I created and lead meetings for the Raw Health and Happiness Society Support Group in NYC every Monday night. I did lots of telephone consultations and advised hundreds of students via my coaching website HowToGoRaw.com.
At every raw food meeting, talk or event I’ve ever gone to and with virtually everyone I coach (at least 99% of them if not 100%) they usually say they don’t have a problem staying raw during the daytime, but when dinnertime hits — for some strange reason they really start craving cooked food.
For most of these struggling raw foodists they can manage to stay raw for a few days, a week or maybe even a month or more, but if they don’t get the dinnertime cooked food cravings to go away, eventually they’ll give in and eat cooked food.
Then they’ll really be mad at themselves and feel like complete failures because they have tried to go 100% raw at least 5 times or more and they always end up going back to eating cooked food.
I’ve had students who went 100% raw for up to six months and then just went right back to cooked food.
Their problem almost always was that they were trying to stay raw with willpower only. They didn’t love what they were eating. And so eventually they went back to cooked food to fill in the void in their lives.
Even More Customer Experiences with Savory Veggie Stews
“Ask Yourself This Magic Question”
If you really loved and adored all of the raw food you ate wouldn’t it be pretty easy to stay 100% raw?
If your dinnertime meals really hit the spot and left you feeling satisfied, what need would you have to eat cooked food? You could just forget about cooked food and eat delicious raw foods.
And what if you found a way to make thick, hearty, quick, delicious, satiating and low-fat meals in less than 10-minutes.
Wouldn’t this be the ultimate solution to wanting to stay raw of your own free will? Without having to constantly struggle and force yourself to stay raw.
Shucks, if I didn’t love my food — I highly doubt I’d still be 100% raw after 8 years.
I’m a foodie type of person. I love to eat delicious and hearty foods. I love going out to all sorts of restaurants.
Yet we rarely go out to even raw food restaurants these days. After experimenting with several raw food restaurants my girlfriend Karmyn has realized that she prefers eating my recipes at home than the high fat stuff we had been getting at a variety of raw food restaurants in New York and New Jersey.
We went out and ate a number of raw restaurants. But afterward she kept on coming back to the same conclusion, “I’d much rather stay home and eat your recipes Roger.”
Karmyn actually preferred how my recipes tasted and felt great after eating them.
This was from a person who didn’t eat that much in the way of greens beforehand. It’s kind of tough to do when you’re trying to only eat mono-meals of greens.
To me that’s just WAY TOO BORING. Just sitting there and trying to make a meal out of a head of celery doesn’t exactly scream excitement to my taste buds.
Karmyn has at least doubled her intake of greens. And she did it because she loved the flavor of my “Top Secret Cooked Food Addiction Busting Recipe” not because she was forcing herself to eat her greens.
The great news is you don’t have to give up dinnertime cooked food flavor when you learn the secrets I’ve discovered in over 10 years of experimentation with my “Savory Veggie Stews – Idiot-Proof Recipe System.”
Another raw foodist friend of mine (wishes to keep her name anonymous so as not to hurt a friend of hers) made a point to tell me on two different occasions that her absolute all time favorite raw food recipe was my Savory Veggie Stew.
While other raw recipes tasted good initially (from Raw Restaurants and Raw Potlucks) — she never felt very good after eating them. And quite frankly she “preferred” the TASTE of Savory Veggie Stew over any other raw recipe she had ever tried.
But after eating Savory Veggie Stews she feels perfectly fine and energetic. No more of that bloated and lack of energy feeling after eating a high-fat gourmet raw type of recipe.
And of course, there’s just tons of flavor and kick to Savory Veggie Stews.
These aren’t your typical and might I add “boring” Natural Hygiene type of recipes.
While I don’t recommend the use of “salt or garlic” I do recommend using many other tasty herbs, spices and seasonings to really help you get the most amazing flavors imaginable.
Many thousands of people fail to stay raw because they’re trying to eat so simply and yet they’re not yet ready for eating mono meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Why end up quitting the Raw Food Diet by trying to be perfect (then going back to the dreaded Standard American Diet SAD) when you can get all of the miraculous benefits of eating 100% raw plus triple the flavor and excitement at dinnertime?
Fancy Shmancy Presentation of Savory Veggie Stew by Karmyn Malone Heck sometimes I make Savory Veggie Stews for lunch as well. You’re not limited to only eating them at dinner. They are quick to make after all — typical one takes me 7 to 8 minutes including chopping the toppings.
Let me tell you about all of the incredible things you’re going to get in my “Savory Veggie Stews – Idiot-Proof Recipe System.” |
