Where do you get your proteins?
There is a misconception that proteins create proteins in our bodies. Not only do you destroy half of the proteins contained in meat by cooking it, but your body has to work harder to break them down into their amino acids. Basically, you are wasting energy. Amino acids create proteins in our bodies, and not the other way around. The best source of amino acids is found in leafy green vegetables. Uncooked greens and sprouts are easily digested and assimilated and are rich in vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. By eating living, uncooked, and unprocessed foods, your body receives all the necessary nutrients.
Why can I eat as much as I want and still lose weight, without having to count calories?
Cooked fats are totally different from raw fats. Studies linking fats to high cancer rates, high cholesterol, heart attacks, kidney failure, high blood pressure…and the list goes on, have been conducted with cooked fats. Obesity is linked to a high, cooked fat diet!
Raw fats found in nuts, avocados, olives, and seeds contain antioxidants. They are healthy for your joints and bones, and are easily digested and assimilated by your body. Because their enzymes are unaltered, unlike cooked fats, they still contain lipase, which helps digest fats. When you transition to a living foods diet, you can eat as many avocados and nuts as you want, and you will still be losing weight 
And for your information, cholesterol is only found in animal products: meat, poultry, fish, dairy, cheese, eggs, and all products derived from these foods (think of cookies made with eggs, milk, butter!).
What is the difference between raw and living foods?
All raw and living foods are high in enzymes. Unsprouted nuts, seeds, and grains are raw, but their enzymes are dormant. When these foods are soaked or sprouted, their enzymes become active, and thus become living foods. It is important to always soak nuts, seeds, and grains before eating them, in order to release the enzyme inhibitors and make them more digestible.
How do I replace the craving for diet coke?
To begin, I would like to state a few reasons why you should stay away from sodas: they contain all kinds of chemicals, sugar, or even worse, aspartame. Therefore, they are highly toxic and destructive to your health:
A 12 ounce can of soda contains about 180 mg of aspartame. Studies have found that aspartame causes brain tumors in lab animals. Aspartame is a poison that affects the synapses in the brain. Some of the most commonly reported neurological symptoms due to the consumption of aspartame include: headaches, changes in behavior or mood, “fuzzy” thinking, seizures, and depression. Furthermore, a South African study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2008[xiii] reports that: excessive aspartame ingestion might be involved in the pathogenesis of certain mental disorders (DSM-IV-TR 2000) and also in compromised learning and emotional functioning.”
So, in response to this question, I suggest, as a transition drink, to try the “Organic Cola” found in Whole Foods stores. This is the closest you can find to coke or pepsi, but without the added chemicals. Of course, the best possible drinks are the non-processed drinks such as spring water, coconut water, fresh fruit juices, and even herbal teas. Personally, I make my own mint tea and add raw wildflower honey, and place it in the fridge. I also like to make my own fresh mint lemonade with raw honey in the blender. All raw, full of nutrients
