WOO HOO! Over 100 responses!! Well Kevin I like your high energy it's uplifting! I am so gald Mango told me about your pod cast. Annmarie and you have not only guided me along this path but you both have always inspired. Rock on Mr. High Energy! I love those wild intros, it wakes me up, and gets the neurons thinking, along with generating an incredible smile! I have no idea how much fat I consume on a daily basis. So I will conduct an experiment as the notes left here by others reflect a large variance. I am an intuitive eater along with one being driven by what is fresh at the Farmers Markets. If I guessed I would think it is about 30 percent fat. Love, Light, & Peace, Cheryl in Peoria, AZ : ) Hi Kevin & Annmarie!

I was turning my volume up, up, up and then suddenly you yelled and hurt my ears - not good :( I'd really prefer a steady volume throughout but know from experience to turn you down until you've done the hyper bit LOL If you have to be loud (and I know you do!) *please* do it at the beginning.

(No chemical treatments, no dipping for shipment). These products are processed on site in sustainable vegan facility (yay!) in Thailand and frozen immediately. They are then shipped frozen to North America and stay frozen until they are bought. I bought some from their first shipment (all three products as I LOVE coconut) and can't believe the quality - unreal!! I have never had anything like it! I have coconut water every morning with my E3 live. I am sure they could arrange shipment direct to the USA. The company is called OrganicLives - they are all about sustainability and working with small farms too! I don't know if the products are up on their web site yet but you can email dylan@organiclives.org too. Here's their site: www.organiclives.org Yay coconuts with no chemicals!!

I tell my friends that you are a brash Yankee and to listen to what you say and not how you say it. Your efforts are appreciated. Fat percentage? I don't worry about it. Mostly raw, mostly vegan, at this level, fat is not a problem. I think this is the 99th response. Hope you break 100! Loud!

I would say 30-40%...?? How do you calculate that anyway??? I used to eat much less fat - mb 10-20%... but got quite thin... didn't bother me at all since I felt great! definitely had more energy than I do now... but I couldn't take everyone bothering me anymore, so I started eating more fat... and now I think I am addicted to it!? I am still thin per others standards... My wild guess is that my digestion is very off so I have more trouble digesting fats and assimilating food than I should... <3! lala sooo fats… I would say 30-40%…??

I shoot for 10% fat with just my avocado/flax oil blended salad dressing and snack of 7-8 almonds (yes, I have to count them or else I would unconsciously eat many more.) :) But I haven't been measuring the salad dressing, so I could possibly be at 15%. I noticed a variety of opinions regarding fat intake on this blog. Glad you are bringing it up, Kevin. My opinion is that there are different body shapes of people, and some people have a higher metabolism than others. Being a pear shape, I can only be at my ideal weight on a low fat diet. But that doesn't mean others can't thrive at a higher range. Even if I was a naturally thin person, I would be nervous eating at 40% fat. My mind is visualizing the hardening of the arteries and stomach churning at this thought. I think it would be more conservative to increase fruits (for the higher calories) if I had a higher metabolic requirement. It wasn't until I read Doug Graham's 80/10/10 book that I realized I had too much fat in my diet, and then after I changed, my excess weight came off and felt significantly more energy. I think all the fat made me fatigued. Have been enjoying your videos, Kevin. I think everyone responds to authenticity, so keep expressing your energy and passion for raw food!
