In general, I'm looking to add active friends with "dietary diversity"-vegan, vegetarian, raw, paleo, etc. Basically, those who like the 'wholesome food' approach all or most of the time.

I started looking into different "dietary lifestyles" (grocery shopping, prep methods, recipes) at the beginning of this year and would love to 'meet' more people with this interest.

    You're welcome to add me. My diary is open. I try to eat as much whole food as possible. It takes more planning than previously, but I have mostly gotten used to it. I enjoyed going to a farmer's market this morning to pick up some nom-noms. :) Fresh spinach, onions, orange cauliflower, and beets. All grown from the a co-op farm on the reservation near my neighborhood. I sampled a delicious onion bread with hummus spread from a lady who offers raw vegan cooking classes. I wish I had a million dollars and buckets of time to do all of those types of things (along with piano and dance classes!)...haha...

    I eat a plant-based diet with no eggs, dairy, or meat. I read labels fairly closely, but I don't obsess. I do enjoy starting the day with a protein shake and have switched over to Amazing Meal plant-based protein powder versus my previous whey protein powder. I also enjoy things like cereal and granola bars, but choose brands like Kashi that have many organic ingredients and also ingredients that I can pronounce and that make sense! I want to experiment with making from scratch things like that. I've seen a few interesting recipes for homemade larabars online... :)

    I follow an entirely vegan diet, I'm heavily into juicing and I'd say I eat 80% whole food :) Trying to make it 100!

    Hi! Feel free to add me :) I am mostly "plant strong" (occasional eggs and cheese and I know the wine I drink is not always strictly vegan). I am about 2/3 raw, especially in the warmer months, and try to stick to a whole foods, unprocessed diet. Recently I cut out all processed sugar and I can't believe how much better I look and feel.

    I'm planning on going back to school to study nutrition with an emphasis on healthy plant-based eating. In the meantime, I read all that I can and play with recipes every chance I get so that I can can help with healthy foods that are affordable and fit into a busy lifestyle.
