suz Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hi everyone, I'm not a body builder but i'm seriously into kickboxing and fitness and I've been vegan for just over 7 months now. I try to work out at least 4 times a week and I trail run when I have time. I've been working on transitioning to a raw diet and so far the results have been awesome. It's nice to see such a cool fitness based vegan forum. You seem like a good group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Yo, welcome to the site. What kinds of thing are you eating on the raw diet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suz Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 What kinds of thing are you eating on the raw diet? I'm still learning what to eat... But so far tons of fruit, like 6 servings a day. Salad with nuts, hemp seed, and raisins in 'it. Hummus is a staple. Also, I've just started making different tapenades including a broccoli and pine nut blend, an olive and nut blend, and a sun-dried tomato and garlic blend. I use the tapenades as dips for raw veggies. On non raw days the tapenades are awesome as vegan pizza and burrito sauces. I also have vega shakes a few times a week. I have to start doing research into what other raw foodists eat because right now I'm still at a bit of a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Welcome suz! Great to have you here. We have tons of people who are into raw foods and fitness in our group. I've been to North Vancouver many times, including just a couple of months ago. Right now I'm in Seattle with Brendan Brazier who is from North Van. Thanks for finding our forum and we look forward to reading more from you. All the best and welcome aboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, when I try to do raw, I generally just eat fruit or vegetables straight rather than prepare anything. That's quite a lot of interesting things I did used to soak brown rice to eat though, that was quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odidnetne Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Welcome suz. When eating raw (or cooked or whatever), just listen to your body, and trust that more than anything else, though getting ideas from other people is always a good idea too, for variety sake.

Barb Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hello, Suz. Glad you are here. I am going to check out the site right now. What have you noticed since going raw? I want to start eating mostly raw. I'm packing my food for work now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suz Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 You seem like a good group! What do you mean by saying "seem"? We are awsome! Yes, you guys are an AWESOME group. Hi Barb, thanks for checking out my site. What have I noticed since going raw? Well... maybe more energy than usual. On the evening of my second ever raw day I did 70 pushups out of nowhere (30 was my previous limit). I don't know if it was the raw diet... but it was strange. To be honest, the biggest change is that I have this extreme craving for raw vegetables and fruit all the time. It's like my body got a taste of it and now that's all it wants.
