I've been adding many more raw fruits and veggies into my diet and feel just amazing- anyone else tried this over long term? I can't even tell u how good I feel XD
RAW Vegan...

It's a lot of work to get the habit ingrained, but those that I know who have managed to hold steady have all had the same reaction. The only risk is taking to the extreme and having the opposite effect.
Knew a girl who declared she won't eat any vegetable that kills the plant. (ex. Carrot) but will now only eat fruits or veg in which the " mother" survives (ex. Apple from a tree ). This, or her attempt, became too nutritionally limiting and started creating some real issues. However, a well researched and balanced Raw Vegan diet can be amazing.
PS. When I questioned the girl about the surviving mother plant, I suggested that meant she was a serial baby killer. Don't know where she is anymore, guess she didn't share my sense of humour.

I heard the long time effect especially for men. If you eat like a rabbit, you will fuck like a rabbit...lol
Without joking, yes it has amazing benefits. I eat lots of fresh fruit and veggie too. Go girl!!!!
Hi LexiRose.. Hope you remember me saw you a few times last year.
I been eating a lots of raw fruits and raw veggie..since jan 5, 2015. It awesome feeling I trying to go totally a raw fruit & Veggie diet. That mean no processes food and meat & diary. Just fruit & veggie & nuts. Going raw have lots of health benefits..plus it make your cum very sweet also.
I am pretty sure a sp in this board can vouch for my cum taste. You should watch this three documentary in netflix: 1) Fat, sick, & nearly dead 2) Fork over knives and 3) Food matter.

I ate strict raw vegan for a 6-month period last year. Like you, I felt amazing, my skin and hair glowed, and I had so much energy. I simply had a hard time maintaining the diet due to my student lifestyle. It can be very time consuming - sourcing every ingredient you use, making food for the entire week, sprouting, dehydrating, etc. Or it can be expensive, if you choose to buy prepared raw foods from stores such as Live Organic Raw. If you've got the time and/or food budget, go for it! You'll never look back.
I've recently been consuming bubba burgers and yeasterday had some beef salami.
I can't healp but notice the amount of hardened fat left in the pan when it cools and think that it ends up inside of your arteries.
There are off course cleaner sources of animal proteins available though.
I used to think a purely vegan diet was both virtuous and healthy.
I did the whole no gluten/allergen foods, no meats and eggs etc last year and lost considerable weight.
Yes I felt good, but started losing muscle mass as well as skin collagen etc.
I'm back on gluten, eggs,dairy, peanuts etc and try to be more moderate in my consumption rather than cutting things out totally.
Man has evolved as an omnivore for a reason though, as their bodies need stuff from animal flesh like protein and vitamin B12.
Lots of fruits and vegetables is good but adequate protein IMO is necessary.
As one gets older, the greater muscle mass you have the more adaptive ato the challenges you are.
Your body needs proteins and their derivative amino acids for many processes.
If your protein source which usually includes animal products is limited, your body will break down your own muscles and cartilage to satisfy the need.
Just my opinion and something to think about.

I beg to differ. While eating plant-based, if one pays close attention to the nutrition of the food they ingest, and work hard to successfully pair foods so nutrition is readily bio-available, they will be able to maintain their muscle mass and collagen levels. There are also many plant-based methods (many of which include eating whole foods) of ensuring your vitamin b12 and iron levels will stay in a healthy range. Also, many people don't realize this, but many vegetables have a ridiculously high protein content.
If you found that you couldn't maintain the diet healthfully, I suggest that you should have spoken to a naturopath or holistic nutritionist instead of "giving up".
I went through something similar - I didn't go completely vegan or vegetarian but cut back on dairy and meat. I used to eat a hard-boiled egg almost every day and cut back on them dramatically.
I lost weight but also lost muscle mass. My doctor told me I went too far and am now back on a higher protein diet and taking B-vitamin supplements. B1 (thiamin) is crucial for your muscles. A blood test showed that my iron levels were low so I am now eating liver a couple times a week. (It's a good thing I like liver) And back on my hard-boiled eggs.
I also have tiny little bones so dairy is crucial for me. I require a lot of calcium.
I have a friend who was vegan for about a decade and he has recently started eating meat again. It was hard on his body at his first but now he says he feels great.
Lots of veggies are great but be careful about too much fruit. A lot of fruits are very high in sugar. I tend to stick with avocados, bananas and an apple a day.
Berries are low sugar but cherries, mangos, and grapes are high in sugar.Also, raw is good but some foods release more of their good stuff when heated. Cooked carrots are more nutritious than raw carrots. Tomatoes release more lycopene when cooked in a sauce or something.
