Do you consider deep-frozen fruits (that are frozen on the field where they harvest them within 2-3 hours of harvesting) to be raw? We freeze or banana ourselves for the ice cream, but we often buy frozen strawberry, blueberry etc from the local supermarket. - Regarding points 6) and 7). Do you consider these kind of processed, but never cooked/baked/boiled/etc products to be raw? - I did not put it down as a separate point, but we also sometimes prepare food with nutritional yeast. Do you consider that to be raw? Occasionally (once or twice a week) we also eat non-raw vegan food (I estimate these to make up approx 15% of all of our food intake) such as: 8) Rice or potato-based warm dishes 9) Steamed food such as steamed cauliflower of corn on the cob 10) Vegan pasta-based warm dishes 11) Soya/almond/rice milk, soya cheese 12) Chickpeas hummus 13) Roasted nuts 14) Non-raw salad dressings 15) Vegan bread or "taco-bread" 16) (Quite rarely) Pre-made vegan soups that you can buy in the supermarket In the last 6 months we experimented with raw vegan diet twice, each time for approx 3 weeks. After 3 weeks or so we both felt some (gradually intensifying) craving for hot/spicy/cooked-or-baked-or-steamed food so we gave up both times and reverted to "regular vegan" diet. During those weeks or raw vegan diet, after approx 10 or so days I felt a bit more energy, although it wasn't a huge difference compared to "regular vegan diet". My wife didn't really feel any difference. We are pondering on soon going 100% raw vegan again, this time for a longer period of time. But first we are curious about a few things. I read many articles which state that raw vegan diet is so good for your body and loads of articles telling about people's experience, especially that they felt a huge increase in energy, that they felt more "spiritual" etc. Well, I would be curious about YOUR opinion and experience before going raw-vegan for months. So if you were (or are) a 100% raw vegan for longer periods of times (at least for a few months), here are some questions please: - Did you feel any increased energy level? How soon after changing to raw vegan did you feel it? - Did you sleep more or less as a raw vegan compared to "regular vegan"? - Did you notice anything like "it's easier to focus on something" or "meditation is easier for me now" etc? - Did you perform better or worse physically (e.g. when you jog/cycle/swim/play tennis, squash or similar/do gym exercises stb.)? - Some say they "just could not eat enough" and "lost weight although did not want that" and "were constantly hungry". Anything like that? - Anything other, any difference, that you experienced? - How much do you spend on your raw vegan diet? (Based on the 6 weeks experience it costed us approx £300 ($500 or €360) per person per month, approx 10% more than our regular vegan food spending which is approx £270 ($450 or €330) per person per month. (We buy organic or "fairtrade" whatever/whenever we can.)) - Plus: do you think that we gave up too soon before (2x 3 weeks) and that's why we didn't feel significantly more energised? Huh, lots of questions :-) Any opinion, experience, idea, info, advice is welcome. If you have answer only to one question, that's fine, please don't be shy and share it! Tell us your experience, thoughts etc. Thank you very much in advance!!]]> Vegetarian & Vegan ZetaReticuli https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/lifestyle-vegetarian-vegan/100-raw-vegan-diet-benefits-experiences/ https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/lifestyle-vegetarian-vegan/killed-for-me-eating-pheasant/ Tue, 04 Feb 2014 13:11:37 +0000 Vegetarian & Vegan Anne Mary https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/lifestyle-vegetarian-vegan/killed-for-me-eating-pheasant/ https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/lifestyle-vegetarian-vegan/vegan-snack-deal/ Wed, 06 Nov 2013 11:21:41 +0000 Vegetarian & Vegan VeggieR https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/lifestyle-vegetarian-vegan/vegan-snack-deal/ https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/lifestyle-vegetarian-vegan/convincing-a-friend/ Thu, 31 Oct 2013 18:33:29 +0000 Vegetarian & Vegan susananne https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/lifestyle-vegetarian-vegan/convincing-a-friend/ https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/lifestyle-vegetarian-vegan/quorn-2/ Tue, 03 Sep 2013 11:10:20 +0000 Vegetarian & Vegan CrystalCat https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/lifestyle-vegetarian-vegan/quorn-2/ https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/lifestyle-vegetarian-vegan/child-of-compassion/ Sun, 23 Jun 2013 11:28:13 +0000 Vegetarian & Vegan Mountaineer https://www.healthypages.co.uk/community/lifestyle-vegetarian-vegan/child-of-compassion/
