Raw Vegan Transition: My First Three Months

Transition To Raw Vegan



What I Learned So Far

  • I worry less about proteins because I am getting the most nutrients, antioxidants, and enzymes I've ever received!
  • I can't overeat nuts for protein. Nuts are high in fat.
  • Rotate your greens; greens have protective qualities and can cause reactions.
  • Stop worrying about acquiring the next shiny "kitchen appliance." 

 Things I Have Yet To Do

  • Join a COOP or CSA for organic fruits and vegetables
  • Finish my container garden (I'm late!)
  • Buy "raw vegan" kitchen appliances  (knives, food processor, blender, juicers, dehydrator)
  • Start Juicing

New Things I've Tried

  • Green Smoothie (Arugula, Mango, Pineapple)
  • Medjool Dates
  • Papayas 
  • Nutmilks
  • Lots of Coconut Water
  • Soaked & Dried Nuts & Seeds (Almond, Pumpkin, Walnuts)

Docs I've Watched

  • Forks Over Knives
  • Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead
  • Reversing the Irreversible by Victoria Boutenko
  • Is Raw Food For You by Victoria Boutenko
