Is whey protien safe on raw food diet?

Are there any negative side effects from whey protien? I am starting a raw food diet and concerned about my son not having enough protien.Is whey protien safe on raw food diet?
It should be fine, make sure to include fats in diet. Don't have whey protein without fats. (I'd suggest not having anything without fats, vitamins %26amp; minerals aren't bioavailable without fats.)



I would suggest adding to a raw food diet - Chia Seeds, Almonds, Coconut oil %26amp; Avocado



Chia seeds sound so expensive but 1# will make 10# food - Amazon.com has couple lbs. for $16 shipped to you. I buy in bulk (24#) from getchia.com for $6# with free shipping.



Chia seeds - 3.5 oz is nearly 500 calories, half calories from fat (high in Omega3 fatty acids) 38g fiber 151%DV %26amp; 16grams of COMPLETE protein for 6grams carbs %26amp; 63% DV Calcium - 95% Phosphorus - 23% Zinc - 9% Copper - 108% Manganese.



Faux tapioca - 2 cups of water, 5 scoops of low carb whey protein powder, stir together %26amp; add cup of chia seeds, after they have started to absorb the water, add in 2 cans of coconut milk (or cream and added water) %26amp; sweetener if you like and mix it all in. Can be eaten after an hour but will be better tomorrow. Cream a pkg. of cream cheese into a can of pumpkin and add to the faux tapioca for an even more nutritious pumpkin pie pudding.



Almonds- 3.5oz - 575 cal - 72% calories from fat for 10gram carb %26amp; 26% DV Calcium - 48% Phosphorus - 21% Zinc - 50% Copper - 114% Manganese - 4% Selenium - 67% Magnesium - 21% Iron - 14% Thiamin - 60% B2 Riboflavin - 17% B3 Niacin - 7% Vit.B6 - 12% Folate - 5% Vit.B5.- 131% Vit.E - Potassium 20%



Raw nuts are living and full of the energy of life and should be capable of building a tree. Roasted nuts are dead %26amp; they may still provide some nutrients, but none can compare to the nutrients and enzymes from a live food.



Unfortunately, raw does not necessarily mean living.



For example - Commercially sold almonds are now required to be pasteurized turning a live food into a dead one. You can not sprout an almond that has been irradiated. I buy my almonds direct from growers off ebay. I get 20# for less than $3# including shipping.



April 6, 2007 - Small-scale farmers, retailers, and consumers are outraged over a new federal regulation that will require all almonds grown in California to be sterilized with various “pasteurization” techniques. The rule, which the USDA quietly developed in response to outbreaks of Salmonella in 2001 and 2004, traced to raw almonds, mandates that all almonds undergo a sterilization process that includes chemical and/or high-temperature treatments.



The only exemption to these new regulations will be ... small-scale growers who can sell truly raw almonds but only direct to the public
