Profile Information
- About Me:
- I experimented with being a raw vegan August of 2008 and was yo-yoing between cooked vegan and raw vegan for 4 months. This year, I gave myself 30 days to be completely 100% raw vegan to test out how I'd feel about the social pressures, the time it takes, and how much focus I'd need in thinking about being raw. Well, on day 31 I ate cooked food for 2 days and I felt awful! So I decided to commit to another 30 days of being raw and I'm so glad I did. I love all the benefits I started to see with being raw, most importantly the health benefits and clear, smooth skin. I expect to go on for the remainder of this year and I don't see myself ever going back to cooked vegan food again, at least not as a lifestyle choice.
- How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
- It's still hard to be in my cooked food social community, especially when most of my friends prefer to hang out by going out to restaurants. I'd prepare by eating beforehand and just getting a small salad at most places. This does limit me to only restaurants that serve salad, which eliminates Chinese, Indian, Mexican, and Japanese (only raw fish, no salad). I'd like to meet cool people with the same eating habits through this site.
- Relationship Status:
- Single
- Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?

- Interests (outside of Raw Food):

Same. Past girlfriends tell me I smell like fruit. Can't imagine why...
recently i have come to believe i may (not fully sure) have candida. mainly for the following reasons: after any cooked meal that is high in startches like say risotto the next day my head is so fuzzy and i think it may be even hungover or drunk. ...
I'm sorry I eat cooked food...lol. I just come here for nutrition info and the company of you wonderful people!
PARSLEY!!!! MINT!!!!!
This is what my mom recommends too. The thing is I live in a high-rise building in NYC, so I'm definetely not "grounded".
The grounding bed technology makes sense, but it doesn't feel natural to me. Has anyone tried it? Did you notice any changes...
So here is the deal... I have been running since Jan 2009 and doing this 8/1/1 thing (trying to be 100% but not yet) I am running in the California International Marathon Dec 6th and training is going fine running 2 to 4 times off and on a week fo...

Without fruit:
Bell pepper juice (very colorful and festive... red, orange, yellow)
Jicama juice (sweet milky)
Carrot juice with pumpkin pie spice
Cashew nutmilk with pumpkin pie spice
With fruit:
spinach and pineapple
spinach and coconut water
Would soaking them help? I've read that nuts in general has alot of anti-nutrients & soaking is always suggested.
Does anyone make raw recipes for their pets? Do you think it's healthy for dogs to not eat meat?
I LOVE this post. you have nailed on the head so many things that I think, about religion, food, dogma, etc.
It's true that so many legalistic people do not realize that what they're doing may come off badly to others; just trying to find what is...
No I haven't heard of it, I'll look into it thanks!
I'm trying to see the humor in the situation lol.
Hi,
Sorry to disappoint u, but you should never eat raw chestnuts. They're poisonous! They contain tannin a toxic substance. I used to let my dog play around with them until I learned about the tannin. It's highly toxic for animals (they can die f...

My situation is up in the air, or I would surely host you and your friends.
Are you going to beach? mountains? San Jose?
I suggest couchsurfing.com for finding free places to stay.
Feel free to send me a personal message and I can give you my phone and e-mail so that you I can give you as much advice as you want :-)
Yes, that would be cool. I enjoy giving advice and showing people around. The best thing about Costa Rica is how cheap and plentiful fruits and vegetables, especially fruits, are!
