A little bit of a back ground :I went raw vegan a little over a year ago and was 100% for 3/4 months and got very skinny and looked anorexic even though I exercised regularly as well. I started to cave because of worry/cravings and ate simple cooked foods that were still vegan and slowly gained weight back while being roughly 60-80% raw since then.

Last month I joined the 30 day raw challenge and have been 100% raw since, but Im worrying Ill get too skinny again, Im 6'2" roughly 152 pounds and 16 years old, which my lowest weight last time was 140 and I do not wish to be there again! I would like to safely be in the 170 range eventually but of muscle mass and not fat. I just got back from a two week spring break today, and at school a lot of my friends said I looked a little thinner but also a lot happier at the same time(I am so much happier full raw, I hate how I feel with cooked foods like most here would say). Ive read that guys are more prone to getting skinnier on 100% raw in the beginning and then rebuild up healthy fats after a while. Anyone had experience with this? Also as a teenager I worry about family members/friends worrying about me and trying to convert me back to cooked foods if I get too thin in the process. Is the answer to not getting too thin just exercise more to build muscle? Ive been trying to load up on lots of nuts/seeds, avocados, and coconut to keep up good fat intake as well.

So if anyone has advice I would LOVE to hear it, even if I already know it I just need clarification! :)
