Hey Adam, can I ask are there any other root vegetables that you would consider ok to eat raw in moderate quantities?

I have seen an amazing transformation of a girl who ate lots of carrots, so they are probably not too bad. If you currently love them, why not. Be open to change. :)

I have no source, but I've heard eating those sort of quantities can turn your skin orange (i'm not kidding!)

That's a lot of carrots. The beta carotene is pigment that gives you the orange colour. Orange poop as well!

Here is a link to beta carotene;

I wouldn't worry too much eating that much at once unless they provide the bulk of your calories.

I like carrots too but I find that they can loose their fresh sweet taste within a week or so, even when kept in the fridge. I particularly like grated carrots usually with apple (also zucchini) which adds sweetness.

I personally don't think I could chew through 2 kg of carrots.   To me, taking all the time to chew through 7 or 800 calories worth of carrots isn't worth it.   I know my jaw could not handle it.  I would say that carrots have fewer starches than other root vegetables, and they are more easily eaten raw.  I guess the big question is how do you feel after you eat that much?  Do you have any digestive issues?

Easier to get the sugar cals if you juice em. I prefer to drink 2kg than eat it.

Do whatever you enjoy the most and lets you bomb in the sugar so you can charge life hard.
