Date: September 27, 2016 10:49PM Hey everyone, I desperately need some tips on getting enough calories on a raw diet as I am trying to heal some health problems..
I have a hard time eating more than 1200 cals in a day on raw and usually feel stuffed around 400-500 cals in a fresh fruit meal. I'm a female in my early 20s, 5"1 in height. I lift weights and cardio 3+ times a week. Any help would really be appreciated. Re: Tips to get enough calories eating raw?

Sprouted seed yogurts. Problem solved! Sprout seeds such as sunflower kernels or sesame and soak in grain rejuvalic and blend for 30 seconds and drink the milk. Use 1.5 cups of seeds. Fermenting and sprouting the seeds will take away the rich sickly taste of the seeds and lower the fat content so they are much easier to consume. Also sprout chia seeds and blend in rejuvalic. If you do weights these types of foods will put on muscle easily. Also do green sprouted juices and you are home and hosed. Doesn't seem like many can get the calories on fruit...too much hard work IMO. Also soak pre soaked almonds in rejuvalic and make almond yogurt. Use 1.5 cups. Nice filling foods that can make the raw vegan diet much easier to do and sustain. www.thesproutarian.com Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/27/2016 11:53PM by The Sproutarian Man.

Date: September 30, 2016 12:14AM Thank you for the responses.  I may have to experiment and try those recipes.
I do lift weights several days a week so that might be helpful. I've never sprouted before. What's the best way to do that? Fresh, you think around 1200c is enough for a day? I lift weights and some mild cardio. I want to have enough energy to not feel sluggish. I normally feel alright but a few days ago, I had a day where I had zero energy and felt dizzy/very light headed like i would feint. I don't feel completely "alert" most days if that makes sense. That being said, I felt even worse on cooked vegan. No energy whatsoever and it was making me sick so that's not an option. Re: Tips to get enough calories eating raw?

You are very small. You don't want to eat if you're not hungry And force calories in. Eating more is not necessarily going to help. During transition resting may be more important than exercising heavily. It is certainly possible that you had low blood sugar but that's easily solved if it's just an occasional thing by drinking juice. Or eating a bit of fruit. Blending greens with fruit is good way to get in some good nutrition if you're having trouble with that. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
