Raw Lau

When I say I’m a raw vegan to most omnivores, they expect that I eat unrecognizable eccentric foods. And lettuce. They always ask about lettuce. Most people don’t realize the array of raw foods that I eat. I actually think I eat a wider variety of foods now than when I was an omnivore myself. […]

The longer I’m a raw foodie, the less I crave cooked foods. I’ve soon regretted the few times I’ve had some heavier cooked foods, as my body was quick to remind me why I eat raw (i.e. food coma). But what I find interesting is that the longer I’m raw, the less raw gourmet foods […]

Back in my omnivorous (and newly vegetarian days) I had tons of kitchen gadgets. I have always enjoyed cooking, and I’ve always made everything from scratch. Now that I’m mostly raw vegan, and figured out how to make mostly everything I eat with just my blender and food processor, I don’t own many kitchen appliances […]

I started my day in the mood for Italian food, specifically the cool, fresh taste of a Caprese salad. You know the kind. Fresh slices of red, ripe tomatoes layered with Buffalo mozzarella and tons of fresh basil. I have plenty of tomatoes growing in my backyard garden as well as more fresh basil than […]

Celery is 95% water, extremely alkaline, and filled with fiber. It has blood pressure reducing properties, and it is considered to be a negative calorie food, meaning […]

When I’m not eating a completely raw diet, I choose to eat vegan. Meat is not healthy (as you’ll learn in the next few days), and chicken is ranked (by Men’s Health magazine) as the #1 food you should never eat due to its high rate of bacterial contamination. More than 99 percent of chickens […]

Day 9 and I’m feeling fine! I’m enjoying all this raw food and the research I’m doing because of it. I came across this today and love it! “The standard diet of a meat-eater is blood, flesh, veins, muscles, tendons, cow secretions, hen periods, and bee vomit. And once a year during a certain holiday in November, […]

I’m one week in, and I’m feeling awesome!   I hate to admit it, but even I asked, “But where do you get your protein?” when a friend informed me she had gone vegetarian four years ago. I just blurted the question out, without even considering vegetable protein. That’s how ingrained the FDA’s 5 Food […]
