New To Raw

[Traceyraw]

Hello All,
I was a vegetarian for 3 years then vegan for 1 but I always found ways to get the junk food in. I recently decided to go raw I have been about 65-75% for about 5 days. I have been doing lots of green juices. The first couple of days I felt like I had the flu very tired. BUt yesterday I noticed in the evening my energy level was still up and good. I have lost 3 lbs so today is my 1st day 100% raw. I have decided to just go for it. But I have questions.

Does anybody eat RAw Cheese??? Or Recommend it.

this is a raw vegan board, so we don't discuss those types of things here. if you wish to consume them, only you and your body can decide if that is what is best for you. welcome to RFT, and it is a wonderful experience you are going to endure.

There are cheese made from Nuts like Cashews, Thai Coconuts etc. Do a "SEARCH" at the top of this page. There is a Post around with several cheeses on it.

Maybe not the raw that your thinking of but raw foodist do make nut and seed cheeses...just don't do anything made from animals. Do you have Alissa's book and DVD yet? You will love them, they REALLY explain everything about going raw and will be of great benefit to you. It has some cheese recipes in it also. One that is really good is the fetticuni allfredo and I think the DVD even shows her making that particular recipe. Good Luck.

Nah, skip the raw cheese- raw vegan is definitely the healthiest way to go!! If it's seed cheese or nut cheese then that's cool!

Welcome to the group, it's very nice to meet ya!!:D

Try green smoothies if you haven't already- they're filling and so good for you. Your green juices sound delish!!

I second the recommendation for Alissa's book & dvd- they're incredible! After 6 months raw, I still don't need any other books. This one rawks!!

Best wishes in your raw adventure!:D
