Alcohol has lost it's appeal

So, I know 30BAD doesn't condone alcohol consumption, but I wanted to bring this up. Many of us have drank alcohol at some point in our lives at least so I think it makes sense and it's based off a…Continue

worried about weight even on LFRV

So, I have lost 10 lbs. on this lifestyle and reached my ultimate goal weight. However, sometimes my weight still does fluctuate a little and it really does my brain in sometimes. I came to this lifestyle because it really does make me feel my best and I want to be healthy, but I also came to it because, as someone with an eating disorder/body dysmorphic history, I loved the idea of being able to eat unlimited fruits & veggies without any guilt. Problem is, I still feel guilt sometimes if I…See More

Profile Information

Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to 30BaD. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member). We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.: I have been a vegetarian for at least 5 years now, although I've lost track of exactly how long it has been. It decided to take it a step further back in February 2011 and went vegan. I went vegan for animal rights reasons, health, & for the environment. My reasons were three-fold, although the main one was because I didn't want to contribute to animal cruelty. I felt amazing as a vegan. I believe it has helped me quit smoking, which I did in April 2o11. I truly believe this healthy lifestyle helped me to conquer my addiction. It feels great to be doing what I know is right and also be reaping the health benefits. I got very interested in natural health as a result of this and as I studied information on the topic, I started coming across info. on raw foods. I flirted with the idea of trying raw foods but wasn't ready yet. Then at the beginning of October 2011, I just knew it was the time. I felt completely comfortable in my vegan lifestyle and my intuition was telling to take it a step further. The first week of October I started a raw vegan cleanse. It was to be an experiment, as I was curious how eating only raw foods would effect me. I also wanted to cleanse my body. After a week on raw foods, I felt so incredible I didn't want to forfeit the benefits. I extended my raw food diet to go throughout the month of October. However, over the holidays I went back to just eating a regular vegan diet, although I continued to eat more fruits than I had before. Now that it's summer again, amidst trying to lose a little weight I naturally gravitated back toward raw foods subconsciously. I have been feeling great once again and have decided to adopt a high raw vegan lifestyle. I may not be 100% raw but these days I'd say about 80%. I am still pretty new to eating raw, though, and very interested in learning more about this lifestyle and finding more ways to make it work in my life without coming across to others as a total weirdo. Raw vegan foods make me feel alive!

Lowest Weight in 2 Years

Posted on March 18, 2013 at 9:41am 5 Comments 0 Likes

So...I am now at a lower weight than I have been at in 2 years! I know that this is from following a low-fat raw vegan lifestyle and being active. I am starting to feel SO much better, and I'm not even done yet. I'm going to keep on working at it and improving. My BMI is now at 19.0 and I'm working to get it to 18.5. The raw food experience really is rewarding!

The Best Diet EVER!

Posted on June 24, 2012 at 6:12am 3 Comments 3 Likes

I hesitate to use the word "diet" here since it has such negative connotations connected with it, but right now I'm using it in the context as being "a way of eating." That being said, high carb raw vegan is the best diet EVER!

The main thing that is bringing this to my attention now is the fact that yesterday I ate a lot of food and I didn't gain any weight at all from it! Perhaps a part of me is still somewhat used to feeling guilty after eating what seems like too much, which has…

So, I have now been completely LFRV for about a week and a half now and I don't think I will ever go back. It is becoming abundantly clear to me that this is the best way to live. The taste of no cooked food could compare to the incredible feeling of living on raw foods, especially fruits. I keep feeling in a good mood for no apparent reason and my energy is awesome. My skin looks great, too, and my body weight seems to be starting to stabilize. I feel more attractive than before. I feel…
