This is one of our favorite spots in the cities.It is very quaint compared to the bustling raw vegan restaurants we are accustomed to in Los Angeles. The servers are all very kind and eager to share recipes and new information. We like to come here after exams and long school days spent in lecture halls. Posted by Xena Bianca et Amy Ilana at

Vegan, pronounced ‘vee-gehn’ means you don’t eat any animal products. Thus includes meat (of course), milk, eggs, cheese, butter, often honey. It further suggests you don’t use any animal products like wool, leather or silk. That is not my deal. I do use wool and silk, and a couple of pairs of shoes I own have leather in them.On to the real question: What do we eat? Well, there are many elaborate recipes to be found in books (I have many many vegan and raw vegan cookbooks), but the reality is that most vegans live largely on the vegan stir-fry. This is essentially a stir fry of whatever vegetables we have lying around, or went and purchased at the market. Staples include garlic, onions, peppers, summer squashes, mushrooms, and various nuts and beans (I like chick peas.) Additions include tofu, tempeh, seitan, polenta, coconut milk based curry sauces, spices and herbs (like turmeric.) Traditionally, the generic vegan stir-fry is served on a bed of rice (BROWN, please.)The trick to being a healthy vegan is to eat a lot of food. You aren’t likely to get very fat on a vegan diet, you are likely to speed up your metabolism and up your fiber intake. This all adds up to more calories needed. Plus, the only way you’ll get the protein an active vegan ought to get is by eating a lot of food. Sure you could simply chow down on tofu, but let’s face it, that’s pretty cliché, and unless you’ve got a dehydrator and want to take the time to de-sog your tofu, its pretty squishy too. Plus not much in the flavor department.As a [healthy] vegan of 9 years now, I have come to appreciate making foods from scratch. This is key for a vegan on a budget. However, I do like to order vegan desserts when they are available (and you should too), in the hopes of encouraging restaurants to continue to have a vegan dessert.

While many experts claim that stretch marks are genetic and unavoidable, others swear by their raw,vegan diet or their natural remedies and have an unblemished stomach post-pregnancy to prove it.

Nobody wants to go through life marred with permanent stretch marks and scars as a result of pregnancy. They also do not want to go through the painful surgical process of getting rid of

Another food challenge, Raw Vegan Bento boxes. I would love to see some cute bento boxes, emboding the Japenese aesthetic of beautiful, simple presentation of food…done raw vegan style. These above are made by Yayloi Brown and are neither raw or vegan but whimsical and inspiring they are.

I have suffered the great disappointment of having to delete some links I had proudly added to my blogroll here. Unfortunately, I discovered that
I had links that do not advocate a raw food lifestyle, and I do not wish to support that kind of link here
. If you saw a link here, and it is now gone, that is why.

The 90% being the raw portion. So I have out for the remotest molecule a 90% raw vegan for the prior almost four years. So Exactly How Weird Am I? I became a raw vegan with some reluctance. It will be four years in January. Posted by samanta at 2:02 PM

So Exactly How Weird Am I?
So I have been for the most part a 90% raw vegan for the past almost four years. It will be four years in January. The 90% being the raw portion. I became a raw vegan with some reluctance. I was rather forced into it because of my health and sudden realization that man’s way of dealing with my health issues was only making me a drug addict and NOT fixing my problems. I called out to God for an answer and…well, this was His answer FOR ME.

I’m really powering this week with my nutrition! My analysis for the last 5 days reveals over 100% of all vitamins and minerals with the exception of potassium which is 93% but that’s really good for me. I often struggle to get that above 80% but with all the coconuts, leafy greens and fruit and veg in general I’m reaching my goals with no effort at all.
I think my body likes my current lifestyle and diet approach much better than that of the previous week – the raw vegan diet. While I did feel quite pure and light with the raw vegan diet, by the end of the week I was beginning to become aware of signs of a too low protein intake, which I mostly feel as weakness in my leg muscles when I walk up the stairs or as low immunity. I also think I overdid the fruit and was craving sugars and feeling ungrounded in my awareness starting on about day 5.
