nspanky Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hi, my name is Nicole and i have been following a raw food vegan diet for about 3 weeks now. I am eating raw about 70%of the time. I feel great, also! My fitness goals for summer are to just maintain what muscle i have, we go to the lake alot and just hang out. I figure our summers are too short to be cooped up in the gym everyday! In the winter, i go hard lifting weights and i hate cardio, do it maybe 3x a week!! So far i've found making seperate meals for me and my family to be a challenge, i make alot of stuff ahead of time and freeze or make it in big batches. So i am here to get ideas, recipes and chat with others who follow this lifestyle AND stay very ACTIVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkleinman Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Eating raw does take a lot of prep. Or that's the excuse I use when it falls to a small % of my diet. Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flanders77 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Welcome Nicole! Eating raw does take a lot of prep.

nspanky Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 You say it takes little time to prep a raw meal, i think i may be trying to make too many gourmet raw food meals, so to speak. I love cooking and trying new recipes, i can't just eat the same old salads everyday, so i spend alot of time looking for new things. Can anyone recommend a site or book that has some tasty but simple raw recipes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
