Anyone know of songs relating to veganism or raw veganism?
Here is one of my favourite vegan songs. It includes many references to raw as well:
No bones no blood -
The lyrics:
Yo man, I treat a vegan way you know..
Attitude and Jah Sun,
Yo man a Lutan Fyan, Jah Sun and a Ras Attidude
Tell 'em a Lutan..
Why you fi kill fi eat?
Real kill man.
Why dem say, swine a dem dinner.

I'm still alive. :b
Still living on and loving the fruits and veggies. I couldn't imagine not eating just fruits and veggies and seeds. It's not something I think about or talk about anymore. For me it's natural. To talk about it would be like talking about doing the laundry. It's not interesting anymore, but, I still love it.
My instinctive eating has been more precis

It sounds like you are turning this into a calorie game. If you are eating what your body asks you to eat why would you ask?
I ask because I've had an eating disorder in the past and from what you've written it sounds like you might fit the profile.
Obsessively thinking about food intake, calories, and weighing yourself every day?
I have no advice for you.

Hi Melissa,
I've been eating only whole raw fruits and veggies these days - no nuts or seeds whatsoever. I just had a complete blood profile done; CBC, CHOL, HEM, IRON, B12... and everything was fine.
A big theory in Bodybuildering is that you have to be in a positive nitrogen balance to gain strength and size. Whether this is true or not, I've been gaining muscle faster then I ever have an

I'm not feeling as lathargic as I was before. My skin now has a yellow/orange tint to it from eating too many carrots. It feels super smooth. Even my hands touching themselves feels smooth. Almost as if I had used hand cream, but not oil/wet in any way.

A little bit of sleep in my eyes this morning. Acne the same.
I fasted today because I wasn't hungry in the morning and my instinct told me that a fast would be good for the body... I didn't feel that hungry today and my energy level was the same. I'm hoping that my fasting glucose goes down. That concerns me.

I found excercising didn't do anything for weight loss for me. Infact, it just made me more hungry and I'd eat more. At most I broke even. I do believe that it might have some cardiovascular benefit, but have never seen it.
