RE: Living of only vegetables, greens and nuts!? And no heating?! - My Raw vegan journey
Oh you are not alone @fiesoerensen! And well done on making such a radical lifestyle change at your young age. You are an inspiration! While I am no longer raw vegan I thrived when I was. I also had a raw vegan health restaurant which was able to feed and educate many others. Why don't you join the #fruitsandveggiesmonday fun? You'll meet some amazing people there. The lovely lady behind the challenge is @lenasveganliving. But there are also a number of raw foodies you'll "meet". I'm delighted to have found you through the special feature by @pennsif
Thank you!
Sounds exciting. I'll be sure to check it out :)
May I ask: What led you to be Raw in the first place and why did you let the lifestyle go? Considering you say you thrived on it. :)
How I began was inevitable as I'm already what my family (affectionately I hope) call a health nut. I use only natural remedies and cut out refined flour, sugar etc around the time I finished high school. Raw was simply the next step. Why I let it go was a bit more complicated. When I married my husband was willing to eat a major part raw but not altogether. Our parents live with us (in their own homes on the smallholding) and we often make large meals for big family time. I refuse to eat any meat that we do not raise naturally and with love here on the homestead (meat industry is cruel, unhealthy and disgusting) My autistic stepson is on a strict diet plus very sensory orientated. I am already making different dishes for him, different for father-in-law so it's easy making various big salads but doing the whole shebang is too much for them all to swallow (pun intended ;)
