There is a difference between the percentage of calories from protein and the percentage protein. Scroll down the nutritiondata page: the amount of protein in 110g of celery is 0.8, less than 1 percent.

17% is not too bad!
Love your recipes and the way that you teach them! Your pictures would make anyone willing to give it a try.
Thank you for your hard work. My family has changed their minds about raw food possibilities because of recipes like yours and others (and a few of my own)

Out of the many protein sources out there, hemp protein is the ultimate. It comes from nutrition. Go to http://www.hempproteinguide.net/ for great information.

I agree that the statements have been researched - but there is lots of dodgy research out there.
She has just regurgitated statements found almost everywhere but that does not make them true or useful. I think Rita lacks experience in one of both areas: exercise and raw-foodism!
Yes, I love eating oats for energy levels, but they there are a couple of books out there (by doctors) who show you that they impact negatively on teeth.

I was also disappointed that this article did not address micronutrients. Perhaps that is why it seems so superficial to me.

Hi Makeda,

Thanks for posting, I value your opinion.

I'm going to see Brendan this week so I'm excited to hear him speak as I've read his books.

Which, "first statement" are you referring to that is 100% wrong?

The first statement is...

"If youâ€™ve been thinking of starting up on a raw food diet, itâ€™s important that you carefully plan out this diet approach in accordance with your workouts."

Pretty sure that's sound advice.

Or were you referring to..

"You donâ€™t want to take a blind approach here as the consequences can be high levels of fatigue, muscle mass loss, decreased strength and muscular endurance, as well as poor sports performance if you happen to be involved in athletic events."

A blind approach to nutrition in any cuisine, cooked or raw, could lead to any of those things. She's not saying that eating raw automatically causes those things, just an unplanned approach.

Hope that helps.

Hi, I love the recipes on the blog, Keep up the good work Russel :)
About this article…..I disagree with most of it.
If you just check out the performances of Brendan Brazier for instance (Ironman triathlete on a raw diet) you would understand that the first statement is 100% wrong….
It's completely the opposite: actually you gain in strength, you lose fat (yes) but not muscle mass if you train properly, and your performances do improve a LOT.
Many others athletes “involved in athletic events” would confirm it too….
You can find some forums about raw vegan athletes to have some ideas about what to eat…
