I just made a commitment to raw vegan, and today is Day #3. I was just telling my hubby about how I am feeling GREAT! Very light! I actually feel like running and jumping!! I was just telling him how amazed I am that I felt the difference on Day 2 already. I didn't expect to feel it that fast!
For me, raw vegan is something I've wanted to do for 29 years, but it was very difficult to pull off. But now, I am blown away by the many dozens, maybe even hundreds, of amazing live foods recipe books! There are even many upscale raw foods restaurants popping up in big cities, so it's really getting trendy.
I won't make raw vegan a strict commitment like I personally do with not eating animals, but to me, it's fun and invigorating, and I am actually enjoying it! Instead of feeling deprived, I am actually feeling excited about all the new and amazing recipes I get to try!
Last week, I posted a pic of the delicious fruit pie we had for breakfast. Since then, I've made savory veggie stews, nutty herb flatbread, cashew apple cookies served with fresh cinnamon applesauce (a meal in itself), and other interesting and amazingly delicious dishes. I am having fun and feeling great! My hubby, now 100% vegetarian, is coming along for the ride (well mostly!).
We plan to make zucchini pasta with creamy primavera sauce this weekend. ALL these dishes are RAW and just teeming with life energy! Nothing died. I absolutely FEEL that their life force is merging with mine. It's difficult to describe, the vitality I am feeling when I eat raw!
This might convey what I'm describing. This video is a bit over the top, evangelical even, but, hey, it's for a good cause! I found it inspiring and timely.
