One of my co-workers just asked me about where I get my protein. Man, when I was raw for that brief shinning moment a few years when I was a budding raw foodist…that was the question I got over and over and over. People just can’t accept that we’ve been fooled into overeating and that…
raw vegan
Lynda Carter, African American Raw Foodist
Finding the raw food community has been a spiritual experience. It has brought new life to my body, mind, and spirit. When you are sick you pray for a miracle or just give up and die. I was not about to give up.After being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 1985; and also pregnant the…
I’ve been here before but I won’t be here again.
I’m tired of fighting with the truth I know. Raw food works for me. I can’t speak for others, but raw food helps me keep my weight down, my blood sugar normal, and my monthly visits cramp free (you know what I’m saying). I’m tried of starting and stopping. I’m ready to commit. Even as…
Repetition is not a bad thing
I’ve been 80-100% Raw Vegan for the last month…give or take a weekend. The thing that most surprises me is that eating the same things all most every day is not that bad. A lil boring at times, but not a bad thing. Most days I eat some combination of the following: Smoothie: Some combo…

Still Raw, I don’t know what day I’m on
Well, I’ve been maintaining 80-100% raw food for the last week and a half. It’s been hard. I moved and that was stressful so I started eating chocolate again. Blame it on Halloween. Other than that and some bouts with salmon I’ve been at least 80% most days. I’ve had to really think about why…
Day 27: My 4th Day 100% Raw
Today will be my 4th 100% raw day in a row this week. I feel like a mental fog has lifted. The internal fight with my cravings has lessened. I just can’t believe how much of a fight Tuesday and Wed were. I was really crazy, but I made it. Had a big salad from…
Day 23
“I’ve got the power”, as that C & C Music Factory Song says. 180 pounds today. I’ve been more vegan than raw vegan the last 5 days. Today I’m back on the wagon. All raw (smoothie, box of raspberries, baby carrots…so far). My Mantra I’m not a victim of food The mind controls the body…

Day 5…beginning Day 6: Have back up? Check!
Yesterday was a good day. The only problem was that I forgot my after lunch snack (fruit) and was really hungry from around 3 till I got a chance to grab a banana at Au Bon Pain. That was a little rough. I have to remember to carry some back up food. I had some…
