Hi, I just finished my first week LFRV and I wanted to share my daily intake and hopefully get some feedback. I know I am not eating ideal 811 yet, but working in that direction. Also, I will give up…Continue

"Bella, thank you for sharing. I think my kids are often dehydrated but they refuse to drink anything, especially my three year old. My three girls are the same ages as your kids. I noticed you didn't say anything about greens or veggies other…"

"How about avocado? Warm banana 'chai'? Also FYI, you don't need to use processed oats. You can soak the whole raw oat groats overnight, then blend with cinnamon and homemade almond milk or apples in the morning. Add raisins, too!"

"I'm going to be introducing solids to my baby soon. Anyone have suggestions for first fruits? Is Mango too sugary? I've already let her suck on a mango once and she went bonkers for it and started crying immediately when I took it away. I…"

"Hi Krystal, I hope your pregnancy is going well. I ate terrible for the first few months of my last pregnancy, but had some success with the garden diet (all raw, vegan) for the second trimester. I had a 8.7lb healthy baby girl on Feb 3rd 2012. She…"

"Gabe, I'm the same way. I can't comment on whether it is horrible or not; all I know is that it has kept me on 811 for several weeks and it feels good! I also have a huge salad for dinner and sometimes snack on berries or have a few…"

"Try to eat un-toasted if you can. Emerald Cove makes un-toasted nori and Eden does too. I will sometimes mix lettuce with a little avocado and wrap it in nori. My kids like to eat it straight out of the bag."

Sydney replied to RawMomInCA's discussion Why did my bananas ripen overnight?!

"I've had that happen to me on trips before, too. Where'd you store your bananas? I put mine in a cupboard, so I guess all the ethylene was super concentrated. Do you have a fridge/cooler? I'd recommend cooling the bananas down, or at…"

Why did my bananas ripen overnight?!

So I packed for a week-long trip up the state of CA yesterday. I packed a case of unripe bananas in our camper and after an 8 hour drive, they are all ripe - like ready to eat TODAY. I am freaking out because they were supposed to last me all week! What happened? It it the change in air pressure or what? I guess I'll have to ask my sister to store them in her freezer!See More

suggestions for protein, zinc?

Hi,I am into week two of 811 diet. Before that, I did one week of a transitional diet (all raw, mostly fruit, but some condiments and more fat). I have been vegan for several years and on/off raw. So far, I feel great and I've worked through a few issues with breakouts, bloating, gas, etc. I am reaping the rewards of sticking with it and I plan to continue! I do have a few questions after analyzing my dietary intake on cronometer:1) I am having a hard time getting protein above 5%. I am…See More

"I'm feeling good at about 5-7% fat, but it's still really early so I'm playing it by ear. Some days I do a few brazil nuts (I know, not really raw, but good for selenium), oil-free pesto made with walnuts, or hemp seeds. I really love…"

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 was first introduced to the Raw Food lifestyle about 2 years ago. I spent my 20's as a 'junk food' vegetarian and became vegan at 29. My sole reasons for adopting a vegetarian and later a vegan diet were ethical. I did not become interested in the health aspects until my first daughter was born in 2007. I now have 3 daughters, ages 4 mos., 3 years and 4 years. My husband became vegan in 2009 and we are raising our daughters as vegans. The world of raw foods opened up an entirely new chapter in my life and I have embraced it as my goal to provide healthful raw food meals for my family and encourage them in this way of life. We currently eat fruit plates every morning, often making intricate 'fruit art' and my kids are always in the kitchen helping me with some new dish. I became curious about the fruitarian diet and began reading about it after the birth of my last daughter. I had some digestive issues after my last pregnancy and I began to question the health of all the nuts, seeds and oils I was consuming. I tend to crave fatty foods over sweet, so I always made the excuse that they were good for me. I bought Freelee's book "Go FRUIT yourself" and became more inspired. I've been keeping a food journal and trying to eat as much fresh, ripe fruit as possible to satiate my hunger as a nursing mom! It's not easy to eat so much VOLUME at this point, so I find myself eating all day. I'm excited to be a part of this community and learn from the experiences of others as well as provide insight from my experience as a breastfeeding mom of 3 kids on a fruitarian diet. So far, so good!! My husband says my skin is glowing and my energy level is way up. I am lovin' the DateOrade!

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?: yes married

My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are....: I love to read! Creating Healthy Children through attachment parenting and raw food (Karen Ranzi) is great; Baby Greens (raw food for babys and toddlers), Gabriel Cousens, World Peace Diet by Will Tuttle, Women Who Run with Wolves, Peaceable Kingdom (Animal documentary by Tribe of Heart)...I also love anything by Leo Tolstoy. I enjoy hiking (although it's on the backburner for now with three young babes), camping and solitary outdoor experiences.

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'm hoping to find support for my unique situation as a breastfeeding mom. I've had three pregnancies, 3 c/sections and been nursing for five consecutive years and since I have not been a HCRV during that time, I am sure I have some deficiencies and heavy detox coming up. I am not getting a lot of sleep with the baby, so that is an issue as well. I also don't know how many more calories I need to consume or if I should add a little more fat? Lastly, I live in a house with cooked vegan food and will be preparing some for my husband and kids (I am pioneering the HCRV diet on my own for now!) so I am worried about temptations. Any advice on these topics is greatly appreciated!

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

Now she's almost 16, 5'9" and we still all pile in sometimes, it is very wonderful but very crowded! LOL! :)

So excellent, I'm sure it is going to be a wonderful adventure for you all!

I feel sad sometimes that I didn't "get it" until my daughter was older, I wish I had the energy I do now, back when she was a little turbo bean zipping all over the place. But better late than never! I hope that this will be an excellent chapter for you in your raw journey. :)
