Yeah I forgot to mention I've been eating those. Not in huge amounts but I make seed cheese out of pumpkin and sunflower seeds a couple times a week, and I make dressings and sauces with cashews.
I agree with what you said, I want to do this the right way.

The grams was 20 something... below what I'd think was recommended. That was after stuffing myself with green smoothies, fruit, and two huge salads with lots of kale and what not. When I eat til the point I can't eat anymore and only take in 20 something grams of protein it makes me discouraged about how I'm going to be able to do this raw vegan thing.
I mean, what more can I eat? I'm an athl

I want to know too... I didn't worry about it for awhile but now that I'm trying to go all vegan I am concerned. Whenever I put my info in those calorie count sites it tells me I have wayyyyyy over the recommended carbs and hardly any protein.
Their "carb recommendation" for my body height and weight was so low that ONE morning smoothie put me over the limit. How can that be correct

Well I guess I was thinking of people who eat lfrv, lots of bananas and then maybe some green salad for dinner. Just trying to figure how they are getting enough protein, since I know they don't eat many nuts and what not.

It's so true about coffee triggering other bad choices... it seemed like every day I had coffee I'd end up binging on something unhealthy later..
But I'm proud to say this is day 3 without coffee and also day 3 ALL vegan! I used to be high raw mostly vegan but I was still eating a small serving of animal foods per day.
For breakfast this morning I had a green smoothie, two bananas and a cup

Cool article. According to the kg thing, I would need about 50 grams of protein per day. But I am athletic so I will shoot for a little more. I put a typical day's food into cronometer this morning and it said I was getting about 60 grams a day. I'm still eating a lot of beans though. I don't understand how people make that number with all raw greens! :\ I feel like I'm eating tons of kale and ot

I think one of the first people who majorly influenced me was Tonya Kay... I found videos of her dancing and what not and then linked to videos of her talking about being a raw vegan. I could relate to her struggle with depression in the past and skin issues as well, so it got my mind working.

It makes me sick. I have no idea why but I get big nasty breakouts on my face that last for weeks whenever I've drank it, not to mention other weird symptoms like tingling skin, itching, etc.
I'm allergic to gluten and a lot of other stuff but I can't figure out what it is in these drinks I'm reacting to. I've tried the plain, other flavors, etc and the reaction is always the same so eventual

Oops I forgot, we also add a little raw apple cider vinegar as well.
I've experienced noticeable improvements in digestion since I've made kimchi a part of my life.

Not all store bought kimchi has shrimp in it. Kings Kimchi is raw, vegan and very good. I talked to their customer service and they assured me it was vegan, raw, gluten free, etc. That is the only brand I've ever seen in the stores...
It is a rip off though. I think Wal Mart supercenters carry it for $4 a bottle, but we started making our own (we used the juices from the store one as a starte

I imagine low iodine intake causes SAD eaters many problems as well.

See it's weird, because I tried dulse and still had a nasty reaction (really bad breakouts on skin). I haven't really tried other sea vegetables. Now I'm wondering if I'm reacting to something else about the dulse and not the iodine.

Awesome. But I'm a girl! I wonder if it helps my pheremones as well? It helps my body either way. I drink celery juice most days. And use the pulp in my soups.

I've been taking a drop of lugols iodine a few times a week and it's making me feel so much better. I used to not be able to take it because it would send me into such detox I would be too sick to function. After some extended juice fasting, I can take it now without any detox! Iodine seems to be incredibly important to have in our systems.

Oh my. lol... well I certainly could be wrong, it's not like I've felt his energy in person. I don't really find him attractive in the sense that I'd personally want to be with him, his look isnt my type in that sense. But I do find him attractive the way I'd find a pretty flower attractive, lol.

DW looks the best of the three in that vid, in my opinion. Not necessarily because he's the healthiest, he's just a hottie.

Hey banana. I'm done now, but I did a lot of different juices. I had celery in all of them because I've found celery juice seems to keep me really balanced while fasting. So there was usually celery in there, but also a lot of different combinations of stuff like watermelon, lemon, pears, carrot, a lot of different greens like kale, lettuce, spinach, etc. My favorite juice overall though was prob

What does the blue mean, wheatgrass? I've always had pale skin and very visible bright blue/green veins... even when I was a SAD eater I was that way, but I have noticed they stick out more and are brighter since eating raw and becoming a dancer. Does this mean my blood is healthier now?

It's hard. This happened to me a lot last winter when we got snowed in all the time (it would sort of be fun if food wasn't a stress!). Honestly? I couldn't sustain it. Not in a healthy way. I still had my sprouting seeds going so there was living food to be had, and I still had some nuts and what not, but I wasn't going to eat only that stuff and you simply can't stock up on lettuce and other fr

Everyone is different. I tend to do best on some fruit in the morning, then more veggies and fats throughout the day. My favorite staples are avocado, banana, kale, romaine (I CRAVE romaine), kimchi (I consider this essential now), fermented vegan nut/seed cheese, a variety of yummy raw dressings, and of course SPROUTS!

I can't speak for everyone but the people I know of avoid it because they react. I know the difference between a cleansing reaction and my autoimmune disease getting triggered, especially after living with this condition for years and doing juice fasts and other cleanses in the process. For me, a wheat or gluten reaction is very specific and recognizable and yes I've gotten it from those wheatgra

I was thinking about trying to do this by grinding fresh lentil sprouts into a paste and adding a little olive oil and spices. Haven't tried it yet since I need to grow a lot of the sprouts first, but I think it might turn out good!

I realize people always say wheatgrass is fine for celiacs, but in my experience most celiacs that I have spoken to about it are avoiding it.
^Interesting little discussion on this topic...

I lost a little weight from raw food but I also look better than ever. There have been times in my life I was skinny. Like... sickly looking skinny. But now, I'm thin yet fit and shapely in all the right places. It feels like raw food takes your body to it's absolute best. Before I'd put weight on my stomach and be all bloated looking whenever I gained. Now I have a sexy hourglass figure, while s

Interesting. I need to read up on that, because I seem to recall reading on the celiac boards a long time ago that many celiacs are also sensitive to salicylates... thanks for the heads up, I'm going to research it now. Because even after cutting out everything that seemed to cause me reactions I still am having reactions once in awhile and I'm not sure why!
