    From looking at your food diary it doesn't quite look like detox. Detox truly sets in when your 100% raw. Keep fats like nuts, seeds and avocados for dinner and add in more fruit during breakfast and lunch. That will also help you keep more hydrated and help with proper digestion. Maybe even up your water intake as well. 3-4 liters helps with headaches. It's also good to keep in mind proper food combining. Fruits and fats shouldn't be combined.

    Hi I'm Kym and I like the term flexatarian to describe my transition from omnivore to almost vegan.
    We have our own happy chickens that provide our eggs! I joined to learn more about the vegan recipes and tips.
    I'm also very interested in raw foods.

    I'm new to the group and a relatively new raw vegan. I do a minimum of 80% raw vegan at the moment and am slowly transitioning to fully raw vegan (can't give up the coffee just yet!).

    I'm not sure if I can post it here so I will just ask... I have started a raw vegan blog if anyone is interested. It's still new but I am slowly adding more and more stuff to it!

    I don't eat totally raw or vegan, I'd say about 90%-ish of the time vegan and 50-75% raw depending on my schedule (and mood to be honest). Can I still come play? Would love to find new recipes and meet others whose food diaries aren't made up of processed meals and stuff.

    new here! I'm vegetarian, trending towards vegan and am very interested in a mostly whole-foods, plant-based diet, much of it raw. Would love to have friends/support/inspiration from others who aren't filling their diaries with processed junk. Not that i am above a junky treat, on occasion ;) lol

    Hey new to this group and new to the vegan lifestyle. I have been watching many youtube videos and have read a variety of articles, but I'm still not sure how to go about figuring out which fruits I should eat during the day or if I should save vegetables for the evening? Just a little overwhelmed. Help!

    Hello everyone :)

    This is my first post on MFP after being a long term on-again, off-again user. I am an 18 year old vegan, 5'4", 160 pounds, starting college in the fall and would love to meet some people I can talk to on here!

    HELLO ALL! I'm new.... Been dairy-free for a while now, and thinking about going raw! I live on Long Island and so there is really nothing but fast "food" places...

    I have a few cookbooks on raw uncooking. Looking forward. :laugh:

    Hi everyone. Looking forward to being part of your group and sharing recipe ideas and tips. I'm 80% raw, but occasionally do the odd week of raw / juicing fasts. Here is a lovely recipe which I'm in LOVE with at the moment. If there are any new ones you can share they would be very welcomed! Mindy
