Raw Vegan Power!

This is my very 1st announcement on this topic, but I am happy to proclaim that I've happily switched from being mostly-vegan to being raw. It was around late-August 2007 that I began the transition and it has been a super enlightening journey for my digestion and my power!

What does a typical day look like for a raw-foodist like myself you ask? It's more or less the same number of meals. One thing that strays from conventional eating wisdom is the lack of snacking - amongst other things. On most days, it goes like this:

• Morning: (after some activity like yoga and/or a commute to school) fresh ripe fruit! Either blended, sliced/chopped, whole, or whatever I have time for. And maybe some dried fruit thrown in.
  
• Noon/Afternoon: more fresh ripe fruit!
  
• Later Afternoon: still more fresh ripe fruit!
  
• Evening: vegetables with perhaps some nuts or seeds for a dressing. Either as a salad, pasta, chopped, whole or whatever suits me.
  

It's a remarkably simple affair. I have 20 - 30 items it choose from at the produce section at the grocery. Gone is the hassle of scanning through all those isles!

Does this look familiar? It might, because it's based on 80/10/10 aka 811rv. My food intake is low on fat, gives me plenty of calories and is super high on macro & micro nutrients.

Look for future postings with recipes, pictures, and personal stories as I find my way deeper into raw!
