Sometimes I forget that some people really just don't know about the cruelty of factory farming

So I was talking to some co-workers today (All of whom are very good friends of mine) and they said, "so really you don't even eat cheese?" And I'm like, "no, no animal products." And they said, "but…Continue

Okay so for some reason I just can't get enough of oranges right now. I'm craving them. I've been trying the raw vegan diet for almost a month (unfortunately I've had a few slip ups, and have eaten…Continue

Celeste replied to Kelin's discussion What's the most annoying thing anyone has said to you about your diet?

"Be careful because fruit is just a lot of sugar. It's natural sugar, but the body handles it the same way as regular sugar. (I've heard this one from just about every person whose asked me about my diet.)"

Fruit Variety??

Sooo I'm really loving this lifestyle, though I've only been on it for a little over two months(and definitely not 100% GRRR But I try! And I'm ALWAYS Vegan bc: animal products? yuck!) But anyway, I am really enjoying it, but I noticed that when I look back over what I've eaten in any given week, there isn't much variety. Which is okay with me personally, but I don't know how good that is for nutrition? Or digestion maybe?I eat almost exclusively:BananasFrozen Berries (for smoothies)ORANGES (my…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'm Celeste and I was brought to 30BaD because after learning about the LFRV life from my sister, I did some googling and found Loving-it-Raw, RawFitBitch, and then, of course, 30BaD. I am very very new to this, although for the past two years I've been on and off vegan. Never fully committing because I hated the idea of complicated recipes and using ingredients that I had never heard of to pull together these vegan meals. (Though they all looked AMAZING, I just cannot cook AT ALL, and anything that verges on "complicated" sends me running the other way.) But two years ago when I first learned of the devastating truth behind factory farming and the dair industry I just never felt at ease or comfortable with the SAD. But lack of knowledge and skill always led me back there after a month or so of eating foods that were unhealthy and processed, but technically "vegan". So these two years I've been struggling to align my ethics and my eating in a way that leaves me still feeling satisfied and energetic. My sister was looking for this as well and stumbled upon the LFRV community! I was IMMEDIATELY intrigued because it did not seem complicated. Fruits and vegetables are easily available, and already prepared! So I've been eating this was for a week and a half, but I just don't know enough to get the full benefits. I know this site can help me stick with this and learn what I need to really grow and thrive living LFRV. :)

What is your gender? PLEASE NOTE: To enhance the community experience, profile pics of yourself are *REQUIRED* to gain membership. Membership will be declined otherwise.: female

Please tell us about your dietary inclinations:: I really want to be HCRV and just need some guidance

Reading "The 80-10-10 Diet" by Dr Doug Graham is vital for succeeding on this lifestyle. Please acquire this book as soon as possible.: I will read the book

Are you Connected?: no single

My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are....: Oh I LOVE movies. Movies are my passion. My favorite movie of all time is Titanic. But the Lord of The Rings Trilogy, Amadeus, and anything by Tim Burton are all tied for second. Pride and Prejudice (2005) is gorgeous as well. Also movie scores are something I love, so instead of favorite authors I have favorite composers. (I know I need to read more and watch less movies but I can't help it! lol) But I love John Williams, Hanz Zimmer, Alexandre Desplat, Patrick Doyle, Howard Shore, And James Horner is a GENIUS for the Titanic score. Right now my past times are mostly blogging, and unfortunately going out on the weekends, as in drinking alcohol. I am really really wanting to get away from this but the pull of the social scene is strong. :(

Durianrider & Freelee started this site to bring together high carb, raw vegan lifestylists' across the Globe! 30bad is a high standard and high performance team! We're here to help you make our team! Let us know what HCRV assistance do you need?: I need reassurance mainly. Having struggled with eating and being vegan and even disorded eating, I need to be reassured that Yes, I really CAN eat whatever fruit I want and a lot of it! Because I get very boggled down thinking that I need to make sure I have enough of a variety and then I get worried that I am eating too much of a certain fruit (Oranges) and that I am doing this all wrong.

30bad is a HCRV (high carb, raw vegan) internet community which promotes a high carb raw lifestyle free of any animal products. Our forum does not tolerate encouragement of anything contrary to HCRV. Nor do we allow endorsement of non-vegan items or practises which involve the imprisonment, exploitation, abuse or murder of sentient beings. We also require our members to post with proper netiquette. Therefore, please indicate your intention:: I will comply because I like totally agree with all this

The filmmakers clearly put a lot of love and care in the around 4 hr miniseries. Allows even more time for character development.

Check out our Welcome Wagon for an overview of some of the best that our site has to offer.

BTW, P and P was my fave film of 2005 too. Have you ever seen the full scale BBC version with Colin Firth?
