10 YEAR RAW VEGAN Matt Bennett Q&A 

Thanks again for the discussion Gillian! You’re an amazing host and i appreciate the opportunity to share my experience with your audience 🙏❤️

This was great to hear- I'm 75-have been vegetarian most of my life- vegan for the last five and purely organic vegan for over a year. Did a Pure Body Extra zeolite heavy metal detox a year and a half ago and I guess my kidneys couldn't handle all the toxins, my body had welts on most areas of my skin. Challenging and shocking and painful at the time- Larry Cook the guy who sold it to me said he'd never heard of that happening. So I just stopped it and waited it out. What I AM please with is I got to see what all the pesticides, fungicides, herbicides were doing to my organs and it shocked me so that I went totally organic. Really glad I did. Recently really eating way more fruit and by the way- I soak dates over nite and blend with a bit of the soaking water to make date paste- use it for all my sweetening- perfect. Thanks for the video.

This is so true. During the week I'm raw till dinner and feel great physically and mentally, my body temp is cooler, but when I eat bad, I'm uncomfortable and hot. I can actually feel my body trying to process those bad foods. For me it's the late-night snacking and weekends and I want to treat myself with bad food thinking, that I can't seem to get past.

The spiritual connection is the most noticeable change I've experienced. Before going raw I didn't have this connection, especially since I was avoiding fruit at all costs because of my GI doctor and other advice on reversing SIBO. Ironically, eating no fat and eating more raw fruits and veg healed my SIBO. But yeah, the connection to God is there where it wasn't before.

Wow, 10 years? I have been vegan for going on about 2.5 years! That is amazing!

Another great interview! Matt is such a knowledgeable, humble person and wonderful to listen to.

This is a great one Gillian. Matt is so down to earth and real. He is a great teacher. I appreciate his openness and helpful answers.

I am looking forward to the video How To Do A Raw Food Diet in A Cold Climate. Perfect for me in the Pacific Northwest USA

This was a great interview! Thank you! I do believe a lot of this lifestyle is about a mental shift that many don’t talk about enough. We focus on the food so much which is good but it’s really about a total shift first in the mind.

Another very inspirational interview Gillian - thank you so much for your dedication! 👍💖

Another great interview. Thank you for your informative content.

WOW, awesome interview!

I like that Matt touched on the playful, kid-like feeling that comes back with this lifestyle 🤸🏼‍♀️🛝

Matt looks great and seems happy, and you look amazing, Gillian. Thanks so much for this channel! I wish my kids would try raw vegan!

Another great interview!!!! Yeap, eat juicy fruits when you have some cravings of food you do not want to eat :)

Excellent, thank you.

Love Matt, he's amazing 🥰

He's an interesting guy. Enjoyed the interview

Thank you for spreading the serious truth of animal liberation. Animal liberation is now!

Oh yes Matt, Mindset Is Everything

Thanks to Matt I now eat av5 star salad almost every night. Some days I have to settle for just a salad when eating out. I am transitioning and I'm almost there. Sometimes I eat cooked veggies with my salad.

he makes a lot of sense!!!!

Hunger plus stress leads me to think about wanting a bad former goodie . I do try to eat something healthy when that happens to take hunger out of the equation . Then I can resist wanting the goodie .

I listen to your channel because of the positiveness and high vibration of the guests! The men are so handsome and their faces are super clear and bright! I often wondered, with exception of a few of your male guests that have girlfriends and wives, how their sexual desire has changed? Do they feel as lustful as before or do they feel in control maybe to the point of not really feeling a great need for a woman due to their spiritual connection to God or the universe?! Inquiring minds want to know!😂 I know for me as a woman, I have a healthy desire for sex so the more healthy I become because I'm eating clean, I maybe a maniac!😂 ( well not that bad but in a healthy way!😉) Great video!😍

To view donuts as non foods, YES, this does it for me. Because in my past, after gorging on donuts cakes cookies, I’d feel incredibly non-human, not myself, someone and something else. It was awful. Him saying he doesn’t even see those things as foods went really far for me. So true though. Those things transform everything about you, and slowly destroy you. While fruits and raw foods do the opposite. 🌟

Jillian I just discovered your channel not too long ago. I am a vegan for the animals but I almost have no energy most of the time even though I teach Yoga there’s a lot behind that I’ve been like this since I was a child due to a lot of abuse and there’s still a lot of ongoing horrible things but I was given a lot of sugar as a child to shut me up & starchy sweets which are hard for me to break away from I’ve been eating a lot of maple syrup and I’m getting off of wheat I’ve been through menopause so I have that ooey- gooey belly which I didn’t have after having four children when I was in my 20s I bought a very expensive juicer a few years ago and I sent it back because I just didn’t like all the waste and I didn’t have any place to compost the fiber and skin, I prefer to just do smoothies and salads, I’m little by little getting over my cravings for chocolate and starchy sweets but I’m not completely raw and every time I eat anything that’s cooked I feel really sleepy. I was diagnosed with MS but I’m not even sure if that’s the reason for some of my symptoms because I’ve been like this throughout my life not as sleepy though I’m sure my hormonal drop has contributed to that too. I would like it if you would show how to eat in cold climates as I am going to be moving back to Maine. I’m learning so much from your channel You are helping me and so many, Thank you for your compassion and beauty 🙏🌈💚🌱🌍🌞

thank you

Great interview, very positive content. One thing that I think is suboptimal: 10 bananas for breakfast? Eating too much causes inefficiencies that actually make you require more food. 1400 calories of just raw juicy fruit and lettuce is my maintenance calorie intake at 160lbs 5'11" (72kg 189cm). Also skipping breakfast. Typical day for me is 700cals watermelon for lunch 700 cals papaya or salad (lettuce, tomato, red bell pepper, one avocado) for dinner. That's it. No change when exercising, other than maybe 100-200 calories extra if I feel like it. Sticking to a 6:18 feeding window also helps with efficiency.

Good interview, Gillian! I have a question, though. In all of your interviews, have you come across anyone that has taken a lot of antibiotics at some point in their life, and then succeeded as a long term raw vegan? Just curious.

Some salad dressing ideas?

What's interesting is that someone could go so long with not supplementing b vitamins or b12 and not have symptoms. When I'm low, fairly soon i have weird symptoms ..like tingly legs ...feet...or painful cracked corners of the mouth. ..And supplementing b vitamins or b12 really helps. Although I do have celiac so I wonder if that's why I notice it sooner.

What kind of lentils legumes grains you eat? Sprouted Green moong Horse gram Black chickpeas Chickpeas Adzuki Alfalfa Did i miss anything?

Hi i love these interviews. But maybe it will sound wierd i hope not. Can i suggest asking about passing stools frequency for example. I love raw food and 2 of my 3 meals are raw now since im healing liver issues. Much regards from chile.

Hi Matt,May I ask please,are all your fruits and vegetables organic?

What is your proportion of your macros? 60 carbs: 25 protein:20 fat? Gillian

I can’t stand the taste of nutritional yeast. Can I just leave it out or will it effect the consistency?

Gillian did I see that you are 40?!?!?!? I don’t believe it. Also, do you do any fillers or Botox? You look 25. Absolutely beautiful

When I’m eating mostly raw I tend to eat a lot of fat. I think it’s a satiating thing. Not saying it’s a good thing though.

I try going raw but I keep having dizzy spells what should I do?

He needs to do a parasite cleanse and then his hair will grow back! I’ve done it… twice!!!!

You both need Torah. In fact, we all need Torah.
