There is so many health kicks these days how do you know whats best i WAS WATCHING a program on tele the other night about nutrition and diet and it explained that fruit and veg have lost a lot of their nutrients and 5 a day is not enough that you would nearly have to take a least 15 portions of fruit and veg a day how the hell could you fit in 15 portions of fruit and veg a day????????????

Do you eat any fat? Fat soluble vitamins need fat to be absorbed
yes absolutely, I use olive oil or coconut oil to stir fry my veg or on my salads and I eat the oats & fruit with greek yoghurt, I'd have milk too and sometimes but a small knob of butter on my veg if I've steamed them. Other snacks include nuts / nut butter / humus. I would hope I cover all the good food groups, or at least I try too. Water consumption (too little) is my big downfall, along with chocolate (too much)

DR eats loads of rice, potatoes, other cooked carbs in his evening meals like Thai, Indian and other Asian dishes, also vegan pizzas, burritos, and I've seen him eat vegan treats like cup cakes and apple turnover type deserts every now and then.
He doesn't just eat fruit and veg. 0 -

He doesn't. But he like to pretend that he does. Which is much worse imo.0 -

He's proudly posted himself eating 3 pizzas in one sitting, and shows himself eating humungous amounts of rice dishes when he's out with Freelee. I've watched the videos. He does so to give Rawtill4 wider appeal-showing that followers can have pizza, Asian dishes and other popular dishes if they want to eat out especially. It's to show precisely that you don't have to limit yourself to fruits and veg. on that lifestyle. Maybe you're thinking of years ago when they were fully raw 80/10/10?
I eat modified rawtill4 myself and I certainly don't eat only fruit and veg. 0 -

The be honest the first and only time I came across him, he posted a "typical day", where he ate 4000-5000 cals of fruit and veg and made all sort of nonsense claims. Was a really bad, even dangerous, diet to suggest. If he's mellowed out that's good. But based on his initial "knowledge", he will never be someone id look to for diet advice.
I don't think he's "mellowed" in any way, but himself and Freelee are no longer raw fruitarians eating mainly raw fruits and veg. if that's what you mean, and haven't been for a number of years. They've come up with Raw Till 4 to appeal to a wider audience and that's how they eat.
Rawtill4 is a long term lifestyle, not a diet and it's impossible to accurately assess it based on one video alone.
I don't know what sort of nonsense claims or dangerous dietary advise you heard, but I certainly don't follow any by him or any other diet or lifestyle guru for that matter.
The central tenets of raw till 4 are Sleep, Water, Sugar (i.e. carbs), eat a plant based diet consisting ~ 80/10/10 caloric nutrient ratio, no calorie restriction, and moderate exercise.
Get 8 to 10 hours sleep a night (with preferably naps during the day), stay well hydrated, eat a diet consisting of about 80% healthy carbs from fruits and veg, rice, legumes, starches like potatoes and corn, plus plant fats and proteins, eat as much as I like of this type of food (It works for a lot of people who have the patience and desire to lose weight long term as long as they exercise also, but I'm not on it for that reason as I'm fortunate to never put on weight. I simply love the food and the ethics of eating that way, and find eating high carbs work very well for my health, fitness and lifestyle).
There's more to it than that but those are the basic tenets.
He tells people if you want to look like a distance Kenyan or Ethiopian runner then you have to eat like one. Again I see nothing wrong there if that's the aesthetic you're aiming for. Their traditional diet typically happens to fall into that high carb. 80/10/10 ratio anyway and they get huge amounts of sleep and they keep well hydrated. Lots of tea even when they run as well as water, but I love tea so am not about to drop that from my diet no matter what DR or anyone else advises. I won't be challenging Tirunesh Dibaba any time soon for medals (too damn old for a start) but at least I can maximise my own potential as a runner by eating like her and sleeping like her, even if I don't want to train as much as her
For me all that is sensible advise, nothing dangerous there.
I ignore any advise I don't think is healthy or will work for me- I don't follow his example of sometimes pouring refined sugar on smoothies for example, I'm not 100% vegan-I eat fish and seafood occasionally, I don't abstain from caffeine, I don't abstain completely from alcohol or cooking oils, nor do I eat mostly fruitarian in winter like they do as it's simply impossible to get enough quality fruit here so I tend towards Starch Solution in winter to suit our climate. Oh and I add a little salt to my food too otherwise I find some dishes too bland, unlike DR and Freelee.
I pick and choose what will work for me, simple as. I imagine most people have (or should have) the good sense to do likewise and not to blindly and uncritically follow to the letter what someone with no health or nutrition qualifications says.
Ok, this has gone off topic, sorry OP.0 -
