Elsophe commented on Deborah's blog post Trying to get back on the wagon

"Hi Deborah, if you're having trouble going 100% 811, maybe trying to go 100% vegan first (/high raw vegan, whatever) might be easier?I tried going very quickly from omnivore to 811 and I crashed and burned just like you and ended up questioning…"

Elsophe commented on Moiraine Damodred's group GLBT/GSA Society

"Oh cool, I'm glad this group exists because I get a super heteronormative vibe from 811 circles."

GLBT/GSA Society

I think some of us forget that not everyone is heterosexual! I refuse to categorize myself in any sexuality, because I find it way too limiting, but I just wanted to throw this group out there, and not only for the GLBTs! ;P Join for support!!

Elsophe replied to Kates&dates's discussion Weight gain... please help

"Hi Greg, I agree - a calorie is not just a calorie. The source does matter. I also agree that the body utilises different foods in different ways. The point I was making is that, in a large excess of calories, the body will store fat. It might…"

Elsophe replied to Alexandra R.'s discussion Calorie content of mangoes?

Elsophe replied to nemmie's discussion Going Vegan for the first time, what was your experience?

"Hi, if you're just starting out with veganism then I wouldn't recommend going 100% raw to begin with. Just focus on being vegan for now :)"

Elsophe replied to Sunny Garcia's discussion Im New, Help!

We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.: I'm am Australian vegan who would like to join a raw vegan community to help me transition to raw foods. When I first went vegan and was doing a lot of research, I would often stumble across 30BAD and Durianrider's videos. Now, from both my research and my own personal experiences with food, I believe that a low fat raw vegan lifestyle is the best and most healthful lifestyle for humans. I'm hoping to experiencing better health and better life on LFRV and am keen to enter into discussions and debates with fellow vegans as well as benefit from the forum's shared media, knowledge, experience and resources.
