I've been trying really hard to get back into raw foods. I can eat perfectly for breakfast but then it seems writhing a couple hours, I just lose motivation and for some reason staying clean and raw isn't a priority anymore. I'm even caring less about remaining vegan, and the funniest thing is it's dairy, and I think dairy is grose. I'm thinking of maybe allowing some overt fats, and just keepin

1. I slipped up in a big way from my raw diet. Looking back, it wasn't too bad really, but still I feel kinda gross. My stomach feels uncomfortably full and heavy. I will probably have a reaction because I ate grains, but I talked my self into it being okay because they were sprouted. Maybe they will be? Still not worth it for how I feel. I had a great raw morning and a salad bowl sized salad of

wow that restaurant sounds so amazing! I'm totally jealous! Have you been making foods remenescent of the restaurant or are you sticking to favourites? I'm going to have to try that calling ahead thing. I miss eating out, and i'd be fine even if I could just bring my own food, but the laws here don't allow outside food.

Yesterday I hung out at BFF's house, which was cool because we've both been super busy lately, but she made this "vegetable" soup, with vegetables but also potatoes, smelly, like really stinky smelly, chicken corpse broth, and a freaking ton of cream. Like heart attack in a bowl.
But it smelled so good. When it was done, not before, like I said, that chicken stank up

One thing I really love about lowfat raw food lifestyle is I get to eat all day without feeling guilty. Even as a lowfat vegan I always wanted snacks. Now I can snack all I want!
It is really hard to socialize because everything revolves around unhealthy fatty foods. Being around all the cooked fats and cheese it's like flipping a switch and I either need to get away or I'll be craving fatt

I've been bad at journalling, but pretty good in my raw vegan diet. I'm not perfect, but some days I can keep 100% raw. Some days I slip up and have some cooked foods (vegan spinach artichoke dip on veggie chips omg). I am always 100% cruelty free vegan.
I've been trying to eat mostly fresh raw fruits, and I am loving the healthy sugar energy. Bananas are amazing. I eat banan ice cream al

Lately I bought some quinoa to experiment with, but I'm not sure if it's the starch or the protein that's hurting my gut. Maybe just because I haven't been eating starch. I feel so stuffed and stopped up. It tasted good though, kale, Brussels sprouts, quinoa, sun dried raisins and tomatoes.

Ug. I've been so busy. It's not really busy, but I feel like I have less energy than the tasks at hand require. Maybe I shouldlook into meditation? I do yoga four days a week, sometimes more, but lately I haven't even wanted to get dressed. I love my yoga too.
I have been 95% or so raw HCLF and vegan. My meals are based around colorful, beautiful,organic fruits and vegetables, and they m

I was wondering if you still juice? Playing with BFF's has made me really want one, but I don't know if I would use it regularly enough to make that sort of investment. Hers was over $200.

Went to whole foods for some shopping with BFF. Eating raw wasn't too hard but I didn't do it 100%. We both had the kale salad (contains olive oil and dried cranberries and sugar). I added a ton of fresh veggies and fruits to mine (carrots, onions, and a fruit salad on the side). I added some almonds as well. BFF added blue cheese, and grilled asparagus. It was a bit of a fat fest for the b

I'm really hoping it's just a transition. I finally went fully raw to treat what might be IBS. I was frequently constipated before, as a vegan/occasional vegetarian, but when I went fully raw my motility just stopped. Could it be the reduced fiber from grains? I am allergic to grains apparently. I can't imagine I could eat more fiber though. But apparently I'm only taking in 24.4 grams

I've seen freeze dried coconut that claims to be raw. It's in a green bag. There's no restrictions on the legal use of raw labeling though, so who really knows.

What do you do for slow motility and constipation? Did anyone else experience this when they transitioned to raw? I'm worried it's halting my detox having all that crap stuck in my intestines.
I did senna tea for awhile but am tapering off to try to retrain my intestinal muscles. But the constipation returned.
I ate a lot of vegetables and nuts when I first went raw weeks ago, now I eat

Breakfast: six peaches
Lunch: cabbage salad with mango, cucumber, and summer squash
Dinner: almost a quart of mixed citrus juice (Orange, lime, grapefruit) and a glass of BBF's carrot, beet, and celery juice.
BFF let me experiment with her juicer. I think I want one. The juice is very good for her energy and sense of well being.

That was my menu from yesterday entered into Cronometer. I'm going to keep doing these, though formatting it in here too me forever, so I probably won't post many. I had no idea how much fat I was eating. No wonder I haven't lost weight. I really want to get to no overts, but just the one avo was really difficult, I was craving fatty foods all day! Its amazing how addictive fatty foods are.

It could just be a UTI. Better get a doctor to look at it than the Internet. If it is kidney stones, lemon juice can dissolve them.
It's funny and sort of sad that doctors would recommend cooked vegetables (probably only because most people don't think of raw veggies and fruits as anything but salad) but then also tell you to increase water and fiber. Two things few veggies and fruit have i

I fell off the wagon again this weekend. Why do I crave soymilk? I really need to learn to make raw but milks. It doesn't look that hard. I don't want to eat a lot of nuts (too fatty for the base of a diet), but if having some keeps me from processed boxed soy milk (vanilla flavor omg!) I did at least manage to find raw granola. It's made with sprouted buckwheat, so not too bad there. Just

Thanks for the links. I really like his philosophy on raw foods. It makes sense as opposed to religion. A few raw fooders are guilty of it, but paleo/crossfit is a crutch for its followers. I'm happy that it brings people a little health, but so many of them are still not actually experiencing the true vibrant health of raw vegan foods. Too many supplements to get through the day, too much s

Two hard things have come up for me since transitioning to a raw vegan lifestyle. I've mentioned my bff a couple times, and that she's on the paleo diet. She's usually okay about my way of eating, but she's still stuck in the low carb mentality. At least she's drinking veggie and fruit juice.
Last weekend when I was over at her house, there were a bunch of other people, and some of them wer

I haven't been updating, but other than finishing off the soymilk I've been pretty good about eating raw. I'm not going to worry too much over small things while I'm in transition. I'm loving this way of eating. I feel so alive and in keeping with my humanity.

Lunch: huge salad with kale, mango, celery, chia seeds, and puréed mango as a dressing. I Haven't perf
