Raw Lau

Day 9 and I’m feeling fine! I’m enjoying all this raw food and the research I’m doing because of it. I came across this today and love it! “The standard diet of a meat-eater is blood, flesh, veins, muscles, tendons, cow secretions, hen periods, and bee vomit. And once a year during a certain holiday in November, […]

After protein, another popular concern of the omnivore community is the amount of calcium vegans consume. Let me start by saying that milk actually causes bone loss. All this time you’ve been drinking milk because you were told it’s good for your bones. However, Osteoporosis is most common in cultures that consume the most animal […]

I’m one week in, and I’m feeling awesome!   I hate to admit it, but even I asked, “But where do you get your protein?” when a friend informed me she had gone vegetarian four years ago. I just blurted the question out, without even considering vegetable protein. That’s how ingrained the FDA’s 5 Food […]

I’m feeling great today. I woke up feeling refreshed after about an hour less sleep than I normally get. This is exceptionally rare for me. I like my sleep, and I typically like a lot of it. I’m surprised I haven’t had any cooked food cravings. When I first went vegetarian, I had meat cravings […]

When will all this new energy start to kick in? I’ve been exhausted all day! This detoxing thing is wearing on me. I’m looking forward to going to bed and hopefully waking up refreshed tomorrow! Jason and I spent our afternoon grocery shopping. (He’s also sleepy today, and he’s feeling a bit un-satiated – poor […]

I woke up with a twinge of a sore throat, and I think I’m starting to detox. The toxins from all those soft pretzels and knishes I ate when I was home in NY (among other bad-for-you foods) are beginning to leave my body, and the raw food is starting to cleanse my system. Detoxification […]

Happy Australia Day! Australia Day is essentially the 4th of July – BBQs, parades, fireworks, etc. They’re celebrating the raising of the British flag  in Sydney Cove in 1788. This established the British colony of New South Wales and the site of the city of Sydney. (Thanks Google.) Today we spent the day on the […]

It’s a common complaint of people new to the raw diet that they continuously feel hungry. (I’ve heard it today from my partner, Jason!) One solution to curbing appetite is getting enough healthy fats such as avocado, coconut, nuts, seeds, and plant oils. These fats decrease the risk of heart disease and some cancers, help […]

Good morning! I’m starting my day with a blended green drink, or a Sludge Smoothie. Drinking vegetables gives my body a greater concentration of instantly usable vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, and chlorophyll than if I was to chew my veggies because my body can absorb them more easily and quickly when they are broken down. […]

I normally eat healthier than the average person – as you’ll see by my breakfast tomorrow. I am a vegetarian, and I haven’t eaten meat in almost four years. I always read the ingredients listed on the back of packages at the grocery store, and I try not to eat ingredients I can’t pronounce. I […]
