No, I break in/school young horses as a hobby, which takes comparable amount of energy. So I'm quite interested in vegan approaches to diet while training, having only recently become vegan myself.
Strictly speaking the latter is not true - at the moment I'm following somewhat okinawian diet: once a month non-vegan food (fish/seafood mostly), and for the rest of the month vegan. But im plannin

Some people love to discuss miserable things, to the extent that they pretend to see misery where there is none! On internet forums it's easy, you can tell such threads by their titles, and so they are easily avoided. I share the dislike towards such miserable people, but don't find myself tempted to read their threads. I simply press "Mark all messages as read" at the bottom of the pag

94. Re: Newbie
My suggestion is quite the opposite: drink plenty of clean water in the morning, mixed with a drop of lemon juice if you like it. Apart from essential hydration after a night-long fast, water helps to clean our bodies, this is where the drop of lemon juice is particularly useful.
So plenty of water in the morning, and then once you feel genuinely hungry, eat nice breakfast made out of leafy g

Thats nice to know about silica! I too noticed my calcium consumption being low in cronometer, together with zinc so I got the supplements for those two promptly. About calcium in food, it appears there are differences in levels of bioavailability there too. For example, both broccoli and spinach are rich in calcium, but our body can absorb about half of the calcium present in broccoli, and only

Have decided to try and see if I can cook my lunch at work for a while. The reason is, it takes too long to prepare it in the morning, which means that we have to wake up earlier. Also it is really nice to eat the food freshly cut/blended, with maximum nutrients in it rather than let it oxidise for some time!
I already have a knife and a cutting board in the office, but the problem is lunch i

Reading it now, and it's pretty good so far! It is not about raw diet as such, but about vegan diet and training, which is also a nutritional challenge.

I have to say the pie above was very tasty, especially with strawberry banana ice-cream. However, i didnt feel it created it's own taste.
What I mean is it felt like eating an energy bar and an apple; whereas for example a broccoli soup does not feel like eating a broccoli and a courgette. It is tasty but it acquires it's own taste after the ingredients have been combined. And apple pie lacke

Do you mean that in real life the protein from raw sources is not being "absorbed" to the extent that it shows on paper?

108. Re: Black Garlic?
Just googled it, and this sentence is not promising for those striving to be 100%: "it is made by fermenting whole bulbs of garlic at high temperature, a process that results in black cloves."
Ooh just read further, perhaps you have in mind something different? "It is unrelated to a genetically unique six-clove garlic also called black garlic and used in countries such as Korea.

It's interesting about the protein. When I said it is difficult to get fat on a raw diet, I was thinking about carbs, mainly starch. Since starch is covered by protective cellulose it is difficult for our body to digest it, unless the veg is cooked as a result of which cellulose becomes broken. Which means that on a raw veggie diet less carbs are absorbed by the body as energy - some will get abs

111. Oxalic acid table
Just thought I post it here, maybe you guys have already come across it but I just found it and it's useful!
I have decided to eat veggies with high oxalic acid only occasionally, about once a week or so? It is upsetting about parsley, but it can be substituted by coriander most of the times. And I was surprised about carrots! Anyway here's the table (I wanted to copy it here but not sure how

I think its possible to be fat on a raw vegan diet, just difficult. But i suppose if someone eats nuts all day long or other fatty foods, lots of sugar etc, or generally tons of food, and don't move much then why not!
The question would it be healthy though. From what i've been reading so far it seems being thin, even being very thin is the healthiest way, providing of course that the person

It's strange about potassium, I find it so easy to satisfy I even worry about overdoing it (lots of watermelons as its summer now, then your ordinary bananas, and coconut water, in addition to veggie sources)
IMO when we start a new diet it is important to keep check on those things which are essential for your body - which means writing it down whatever you eat and drink and see how it transl

Yep that's the one. Unfortunately, the meter will not differentiate between good minerals and bad stuff in the water, because for it's purposes it is all dissolved solids. In my case living in a city I'm sure there is more bad stuff in the water than good, so I'm happy to filter it all.
It's definitely good to have a mineral rich water, though i think not essential as we can get those minerals

Pine nuts in shell remind me of childhood, when my dad used to bring whole cones full of nuts. It was super exciting extracting nuts from the cone, and them from the shell. I imagined I was a squirrel
I should have a look whether cones are available to buy these days. I forgotten about them, with pine nuts available already shelled!

118. Re: Awesome Rawsome
I wouldn't be concerned about calories, unless it's a concern that you are getting too much of them (in which case you wouldn't lose weight!) Instead, I'd check the essential nutrients, whether say over a week you are getting enough vitamins, minerals, amino acids and so on. So that there is no deficiency in anything vital. As for calories, it is actually believed that lesser is good, so don't wo

Lol you don't measure it with a ppm, ppm refers to parts per million. You can measure it with a TDS meter, which measures total dissolved solids in ppm.
You can buy this meter for peanuts on eBay, or any store which sells RO water filters.

So what, it is still a choice of that person, and to that extent qua choice it is no different from you choosing a raw diet. In order to understand each other, as people capable of making different choices, and in order to be able to live with each other as a consequence, we need to appreciate that at this fundamental level we are the same, and no one is special.
