Congratulations! Keep up the good work.

That was exactly the point I was trying to make in my post, so we are in complete agreement. By "considerable leeway", I only meant that there are certain situations where a vegan alternative to an...

The term "vegan" is a relatively modern invention. It was coined here in England by Donald Watson and a group of his fellow "non-dairy vegetarians" in 1944, when they established the Vegan Society....

Here in the UK we call them broad beans. I grow them in my garden, and eat them ready-picked, with the pod and the outer skin removed, just as they are. My favourite food, and I've always eaten them...

Hi Fuggles

It's not really a scam, Tesco just don't know any better. No they're not raw, as to get the shells off they are boiled (like brazil nuts). You can get really raw cashew nuts that are...

Yes, this is a detox symptom.

I tried ear candles some time ago, and concluded that they do not help with ear wax problems. There are plenty of websites debunking them, here's an example:...

I discovered raw at the London Vegan Festival in 2006, where Shazzie did a talk. When I got home I did some googling, came across this site, and the rest is history!

Yes, on the whole, I would...

I have some great news. I have a family history of heart disease, and therefore a higher than average risk. I've had my cholesterol tested both before going raw, and just last week, after being raw...

I am an ethical vegan, and ate cooked vegan food for 10 years before going raw. I have had weight issues all my life, and when I converted from lacto-vegatarian to vegan, sure enough I quickly lost...

Congratulations, and happy birthday!

Pete

You're so right. I was already a vegan for 10 years before going raw, and a lacto-vegetarian for 20 years before that. Going cooked vegan was definitely a step in the right direction - it cured my...

Superb results - very well done!

I saw some sweet onions in Waitrose the other day. I use ordinary onions and/or shallots when I make onion bread.

Cheers

Pete

Thank you everyone so much for your kind comments. I'll be back with more pictures when (not if!) I reach my goal, although I'm finding it really difficult to find "before" examples as I used to hate...

Thanks Subbacultcha, Beppa, Eva.

Keep up the good work, everyone.

Pete

Me too. I need to eat much less now that I'm a raw vegan. Cooked food seemed to never satisfy me.

Pete

RawSweetie, RawMistress, Crystalzgoneraw, thank you! And thanks to Alissa. This forum is my daily inspiration, and your Blueberry Pie has defeated my cravings many, many times.

Crystal, I love my...

Thank you rawstrength, Shell, Rasiaca.

Rasiaca (Anna Banana) this has been second time around for me. I originally went raw back in September 2006. I immediately felt much better, but soon forgot...

I know how much you folks love before and after pictures, so here you are. I went raw on 19th August 2007 at 224 pounds, and I'm currently 175 pounds. I'd like to be about 150 pounds, and at this...

Good to see that there are other raw foodies in Surrey - I'm in Carshalton.

Thanks for all the information, and also for addressing me as "Dude"! I'm very English, and now I feel like I'm in a Hollywood movie (in a good way).

Regards and thanks again

Pete

I'm from the UK, and I may be visiting Nashville TN, this May. I've been there several times before, but not as a raw foodist. I managed OK as a vegan, but the vegetarian restaurant (I can't remember...
