Raw vegan dies Zhanna D’Art #rawvegan

I did not know @rawveganfoodchef and while no one currently knows the cause of death... it is very obvious one of the factors was her mental health.

I have never suffered from anorexia or bulimia but I can see that this beautiful soul was suffering.

An eating disorder is NOT the same as a raw food diet.

An eating disorder is a mental illness that needs to be treated before it’s too late 😞

The raw food diet did not kill this young woman. An eating disorder did.

If she wasn’t promoting a raw vegan diet, no headline would be written about her because the TRUTH is - people die EVERY SINGLE DAY from eating disorders.

The news doesn’t cover every person tho.... Why?

Their life doesn’t create controversial headlines enough for anyone to write about it... 😞

Over 10,000 people die from an eating disorder each year. More than one person dies every hour, and eating disorders have the highest mortality rate out of all mental illnesses.

About 26% of people with eating disorders attempt suicide.

If you know someone that might be suffering... please reach out... let them know you care and that they don’t need to face this alone.

The raw food diet is NOT an eating disorder.

An eating disorder is an eating disorder and it should not be taken lightly.

If you are reading this and are suffering please please please call Anorexia Nervosa & Associated Disorders (ANAD) free Helpline at 1-888-375-7767 🙏🏼❤️

I can only imagine how impossible it might feel to break free. Yes it’s going to be hard. But YOU can do hard things my boo 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️

She was on a raw vegan starvation diet.

She also had an eating disorder background and a virus She got from Bali and couldnt get rid of it.
Also She was not mentally balanced.
Easier to understand what happened when one understands Russian as She was Russian.
Her mother explained what really happened- mental unstability which caused eating disorder plus an illness She got from Bali.

I’m glad you are saying this. It’s so obvious that she was restricting herself. This is so sad for anyone…I hope she rests in peace. ♥️

She was eating a raw vegan diet and the damage was done long term. Your body can do okay for a few years raw vegan but the longer you eat that way, the more deficient you get. Especially if you’re not constantly eating huge amounts of fruits to get the calories in. I was mostly raw vegan, constantly eating, and dropped to underweight very fast. Yet, I was so brainwashed I thought I was so much more healthier than those telling me I should eat a more balance diet. It took years, but I’m so glad I’m out of that. Would never recommend this diet to anyone.

I'm getting some very dark energy from her final photos

She was on a fruit diet. I knew a guy who did this and he was a mess mentally and physically.

This woman had an eating disorder. I got on her page after I heard about her passing and there was one video where she has a machete and She’s cutting open a coconut. OK that’s fine. but then the caption reads that she has not drank water in six years. She has not had water in six years. She was only drinking like carrot juice, coconut water that’s it. And then she said she was only eating just the fruit. This was not a vegan lifestyle. This was anorexia.

Thank you for raising awareness about this topic -mental health. 🙏

[Appplecidder]

Everyone also we need to Remember majority of people that goes raw are dealing with health issues. She could have been battling a serious disease and trying to fast it out and did too much too soon. Just because your raw doesn’t always equate to being healthy

[van]

how do you think she developed what ever disorder in the first place. Her brain needed nutrients and suffered to the point where rational thinking shut down. Happens routinely when essential nutrients are not included from a true VEGAN DIET.

[JelqtronZero]

Eating any one thing will make you deplete somekind of essential amino acid. You have to be very careful on a strict diet to make sure you are supplementing what you are missing. People should have intervened when she started looking grave.

That's not starving. I was on a raw vegan diet, not starving, eating a lot and enough, and lost a lot of weight and became almost as skinny as she was. Body needs warm food. Fast or slowly, raw eating kills. Period.

[kurlykaitlyn]

I remember reading sometime back she wouldn’t drink water and that screams a red flag. Everyone needs water regardless of whatever foods you do or don’t eat.

[elicemcohen]

It broke my heart to hear about her. But the media. Why shall we even try to explain ourselves. Have you ever heard how many people died of a heart attack following a low carb diet? No. You will never hear that.

[ralomicron]

You are wrong. It is clear that she was eating as she slowly lost the fresh on her body

[taasch]

I won't ever go Vegan because my concern isn't for the animals tbh. But I do eat 70% plant based. Mostly veggies (the bulk being legumes like pintos, black beans, and chicken peas) and fruit. I sometimes eat Quinoa, Millet, Barley, or Rice. But I also eat a lot of Sweet Potatoes and some Red Potatoes. But I also eat beef twice a month and I get a lot of my protein from seafood and poultry. If i do full vegan I can't stop eating. There's just not enough to satiate and hold me over.

[eatnplaytoday]

The ironic thing is many vegans themselves turned to veganism because they already have an undiagnosed or diagnosed eating disorder. Veganism restricts certain food categories and that thought of restriction and perfection is attractive

[stevangelical]

Thank you for covering this. The bloody Times of India publication pounced on this tragic news and slammed veganism in general. Did they ever report on Anne Osborne, Caryn Calabrese, Annette Larkin or the multitude of raw vegans that clearly thrive on raw foods?

[User-vzxm]

She slowly depleted her body nutrition storage by eating raw vegan, that’s why she look quite ok from old photos.

You cannot help if they don't want the help. And for most cases they will not accept the help.
