Kevin: And with the weight gain, how did you manage to gain the weight back? Did you add anything else into your diet?

Matt: No, it was just the natural process. The weight loss was just the natural process of the body cleansing itself of old stuff and then the weight gain was just a rebuilding, using the good materials. From the time I lost the weight till I gained it back I hadn't done anything particularly different. It was just a matter of a certain amount of time that the body needed to get out with the old and in with the new. It was pretty telling to me though because here I was eating a "low protein" diet and I gained 15 pounds of good weight on that kind of food.

Kevin: It's almost like laughing in the face, right?

Matt: Yeah, exactly. It was a nice little retribution in some way because it's like, yeah, I had to go through that period looking terrible and losing weight, but then it's like ah, I gained it all back, on vegetables. Take that.

Kevin: [laughs] I want to move into some of the food prep questions. We got a ton of food prep questions and there are a lot of good ones here. So I'm just going to kind of rattle them off and you can just answer them as long or as short as you want.

The first one is this: In your opinion, what do you think are the most nutritious foods?

Matt: Greens, as a general, or a broad, category. I would say greens are the most nutritious food. They have the most protein, the most minerals. To get specific I guess I really like celery as a food. I really like any of the dark, leafy greens. Anything really, kale, a lot of people are, "Kale's the most nutritious green." No, they're all good.

Kevin: Salads, smoothies, juice, all three?

Matt: I think salad is the...you can't live without salad. It's interesting because I think there's two sort of processes that happen when you get into raw food. You start eating a lot of salads and then you say, "I'm tired of having salads" and you want to get into some of the gourmet stuff. Then after a while you realize the beauty of a simple salad. I've kind of gone back to that and I make sure to have a huge salad at least once a day. But the more greens you can get in, in any way, is great. I think the green smoothies that Victoria Boutenko promotes are a really great way to get more greens in, which everyone seems to need to do.
