redrockwolf Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Ok so I'm a total newbie, I've never posted to an internet board before, and I just became vegan, actually I just became a totally raw vegan dieter. I'm nervous about the whole thing actually but here we go. I'm a 32 year old male from Portland OR, I have been a meat eater, and anything else eater, my whole life until about two weeks ago when I did the Stanley Burroughs lemonade fast that has gained recent publicity. I have always worked out some way or the other and have maintained a fairly good physique. I am currently 6' 3" and weigh in about 185lbs. I have gotten to the point of weighing in at 230 and having only 7% body fat, but that was on a diet that I cannot even conceive now. So I guess i am just wanting to be that size again but in a cleaner way. I heard spirulina is the way to go for the best protein, but I have a ton of unanswered questions rolling in my head about this new life of fitness. Thanks for having a site like this, it takes some of the anxiety away from all of it. Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalBrada Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Welcome to the clan, Wolf!Spirulina is a great choice for raw protein as well as hemp. Lean and Green will probably be able to filter alot of your concerns re: spirulina as well as a raw diet.I wish you luck on getting back in the 200lbs+ range.

thendanisays Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Welcome! I also live in Portland Or with my boyfriend Lean and Green whom you will find all over this board. He's a raw foodist who's about 6-7 weeks out from a bodybuilding contest. PM him or myself and we'll get in touch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Welcome to VBB. LocalBrada and theDaniSays are right. LeanandGreen has so much knowledge of spirulina. He answered a lot of questions I had about it. After I tried it, I didn't like it. There are some people that like it and some that don't. I know that LeanandGreen is endorsing http://www.veganproteins.com/ right now. This is a product he uses for protein. I haven't tried it yet but I plan to. I really like Smoothie Infusion http://sequelnaturals.com/en/vega/products/whole-food-smoothie-infusion/features-benefits . I add it to my fruit smoothies daily. Its really good stuff. I know you will find some valuable information on this forum like I have. Hope to see you around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dropSoul Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Get in on the Vegan Deal 2 Spirulina at VeganProteins.com -- LeanandGreen is running that deal and it's fab! GREAT source of raw protein with micronutrients up the wazoo. I didn't know how awesome it was until he wrote about it on the site. Welcome to the site!
