I don't see myself as a "Vegan elitist" in slightest bit.  I just decided one day that I wanted to eat healthier to be healthier.  Heart disease runs in my family and my father had problems when he was young.  I want to do whatever I can to take care of myself since no one else in my family really took good care of their health when it came to food and diet.  I want to live a long time to see my son grow up.  I want to be healthy when I am old and able to walk around and enjoy life instead of relying on a walker or wheelchair. 

I don't make fun of people that eat burgers and pizza.  I was once there.  Just because I changed to Raw Veganism doesn't mean that I started hating all of the foods that I loved.  I just want to eat and be healthy and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

what's your food consumption on an average day or 2 like? like types of foods and how much, etc? and how long have u been a raw vegan

---

On an average day, I'll eat something like 4-8 bananas and apples(either as is or in banana chocolate pudding), 1 or 2 large portions of guacamole (about 1.25 - 1.5 cups), some some hummus (either garbanzos or zucchini, but zucchini is my new fave) with a half of large cucumber (about 4" portion of 8"), couple handfuls of nuts, and some other whole fruits like watermelon, mango, kiwi, and other berries. 

I also eat dried fruits that were dehydrated at 118F degrees or less.  I consume anywhere from 1800-3000 calories a day depending on my level of activity. 

If I am juicing, I will go through about 8-12 pounds of produce in about 2-3 days.  I only purchase what I can carry home with me on my bike. 

I have been raw vegan for nearly 3 months.

cool. is it really expensive to afford lots of produce for juicing? does it depend on where you live? and of course i would think it would depend on whether you buy it at farmers markets or not

well, i find that i feel rather bone dry if eat just raw vegetables, which i do, all the time... (i mostly eat my salads without dressing too) i need meat, in order to have energy. i like a heavy a healthy metabolism too, with eating some fruit and drinking some H20 in the a little after i wake up, then eat some whole wheat cereal or maybe if lacking energy (i eat pretty light usually, in the morning) some bacon, eggs and potatoes. (this is when i really need an extra boost) (sometimes coffee will do, as well) then for lunch either a simply snack like a oatmeal bar, or some un-salted chips (i like them better) or maybe a sandwich but i sometimes stave off lunch and just stick to some fruit throughout the day until supper...

then i just eat whatever the fuck i want afterwards...

fully stocked.

go ask a vegan buffalo where he gets his b-12 from. then you might as well ask him how he got so big without protein. some of the coolest animals in nature are vegans. fast as hell, they grow cool ass horns and shit.
