Pro. They have discovered and given the vegan community a heap of dessert recipes that don't rely on dairy.

“It can be hard to stop losing weight”.


You just convinced me to go raw.

The cost, and unavailability of consistently ripe and enjoyable fruit to eat ruins the raw diet for me.

I'm so glad that steamed broccoli isn't the devil.
I was worried a little... especially last night, in the dark, when I opened my fridge and the broccoli was just staring at me...

This is the first time I see one of these videos that talk about how most people get on a raw diet to cure their diseases and once that is healed your body will start pulling you towards cooked foods(or if you're undercarbed of course). I eat mostly raw, like 99.9999% and I laughed at the part where you pointed out how my fall back plan is mashed potatoes with steamed broccoli. But that's because I'm sick....I was alot sicker like 6 months ago, I thought I was going to die. I lost all muscles, my but was like a skin pocket lol I wasn't absorbing nutrients, I dropped out of college...life was hell. The only thing that made me feel better was fruits. Only when I ate fruits I didn't feel sick in my stomach and I would get out of bed, clean the room and feel like my normal self. Long story short, I'm happy you pointed out hoe raw veganism can come out of necessity. And now that I'm doing so much better, I have more muscle mass than I've ever had, I still eat raw. I've loosed up a bit where I would eat a bit of cooked veggies if invited out or something but I might end up eating raw for the rest of my life unless I feel like I really want potatoes(just yesterday I was at a dinner and I really didn't want the starchy foods, looking at them took me back to constipation and bloated days). I don't know why but I think some people are more sensitive than others. My boyfriend has a digestive system like a grain grinder, and I can't eat bread. People are different. I just wish people would stop bashing raw vegans and raw vegans would stop trying to convert regular vegans. Nobody converted me, I found raw veganism because I needed it.

Went raw for 6 days last week - felt like a hydrated God.
Rice brought me back to mortality.

Model Kim Alexis spoke about discovering the raw vegan diet and how much it helped her. She said all the models run around smoking to curb their appetite. She wished they would all discover the raw food diet and choose to stay slim that way. I’m 62 and vegan for 7 years. Just started my raw food journey 2 months ago. My goal is to get back down to my college weight of 120 pounds. But I plan on remaining on this diet because it is so easy to control my blood pressure and I feel great. I take no medications and have perfect bloodwork.

I was drinking a fruit smoothie as I was watching this so I went and grabbed a straw! hahaha, thanks mate! Been vegan for a week and I feel awesome :)

[hayliegrayson]

Could you possibly do a video on how to effectively wash produce to remove as many toxins/pesticides as possible? Great video, thank you for the work you do.

As a raw vegan, I appreciate your fair, non-biased presentation here.

I've been taking meds for high BP for over 10 years. Just 3 days on nothing but fruits and my BP went from 145/95 to 113/77! This works!

[sleeplessmax]

I am also not against raw, but I'm not raw. I just want people to be vegan

[MrCAHRLIE]

i cant go raw because i actually dont eat any processed foods, my meals consist of whole grain brown rice, beans or lentils, mixed vegetables and fruits. thats basically what i eat 3 times a day everyday.

I know I'm being a bit of a stickler mentioning this, but Annette Larkin's husband is actually almost a decade older than her. I'm not at all trying to bash raw eating. I mean, she still looks amazing and he looks very unhealthy, but part of the reason that her husband looks so much older is that...he is older.

[NicklasKingo]

I can't believe you don't have way more subscribers; your videos are frigging awesome. Keep it up mate!

"For the average American going on a raw diet it becomes very difficult to overconsume calories." Challenge accepted!

[fruitfulliving]

Awesome! I appreciate the unbiased perspective! Often hard to find that on YouTube!

[TheBobbysPerspective]

I absolutely have no problem to get my calories in on a raw diet (as you can see on my channel) and especially now, as I just discovered RAW CAKES, CRACKERS, ICE-CREAM, CHOCOLATE etc.. I am 100% convinced that you can be a FAT RAW VEGAN.
PEACE
