Is anyone on a raw food diet/lifestyle?
Hello. I am very interested in taking up a raw food diet / lifestyle because of all of the health benefits. However, I am unsure of exactly what to eat for breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack in order to get the sufficiant amount of nutrients and calories. There has to be raw food dieters out there on Yahoo Answers. If so, can you give me a sample menu with stuff that I can find at a local grocery store on the east coast. Thanks a million,

Im a vegan but without even realizing
i eat 60% raw
lol go figure
We are starting to do about 60% raw food right now. We are vegan as of now but we just know the benefits, like you, of a raw diet.
The difference between a vegan and raw food is your are not cooking the nutrients our of your food so it really does mimic a vegan diet just with no cooking involved.
The thing about the raw food diet is you have to prepare ahead so you get your beans/grains/ nuts soaked and sprouted and ready to go. But you can see how beans/grains/ and nuts will supply a lot of your calories past vegetables.
I don’t have menus laid out yet although I do have tortillas on the dehydrator right now. We’re going to through some avacodo/salsa in there later.
There’s a ton of great info at the link below though on raw food and recipes. Plus there’s tons of books out there that show you how to get all your nutrition in.
Goneraw.com is a really good site for getting recipies, I use it a lot, youtube is great, just look up raw vegan and BAM! you have like 500 things.
Best of luck to you, I feel so much better when I’m raw.
