im starting raw tomorrow. Ive got a great food processer to make dips and spreads and salsas and stuff and some great recipes. but im not going to eat 100% raw. I have a big appetite and a fast metabolism and have problems keeping my weight up. the last time I tried eating raw I lost way too much weight, so this time i'm introducing a lot of extra cold pressed oils and extra carbs to my recipes along with fruits , vegetables , nuts and legumes to help keep my weight up. I know this is a vegan board (atleast i think so) but im going to eat sashimi, different types, and oysters on the half shell a lot. I found a great place where you can buy sashimi grade seafood by the pound cheap. Im going to eat about a 4000 calorie a day diet and about 3400 of those calories will be raw. Everything is 100% raw except 3 servings of black beans per day and the fish oil supplement that i take which is steamed at some point in the processing. Im real excited. I cant wait for my digestive problems to go away. later. happy holidays. :)
