I am really trying to go fully raw this year. Of course I am going about this slowly since I do love my pasta, oatmeal and cereal. lol. I was wondering if there are any people here that eat fully raw or vegan? I want to get food ideas and motivation.
I currently eat at least 50% raw each day. I am pushing myself to go raw at least 5 days a week starting next week.

I am also thinking about doing Insanity again while going to the gym (I love to swim and I don't want to stop that while doing Insanity). I love Insanity. It really helped me stay motivated. Anyone else doing it?
Good luck to everyone :)

    I switched cold turkey to a vegan diet August 2013 and have not looked back. I feel great and it really helped me get off the weight loss plateau that I had been on for several months. Roughly one third of my daily food is raw, and would like to get that up to 50%. I also juice mostly vegetables on a fairly regular basis, with a quarterly juice detox that lasts 5 days.

    You might want to check out books by Brendan Brazier, who writes about vegan diet for sports performance. It might be good if you want to do the Insanity thingie :-)

    There are plenty of great raw food recipes in Pinterest and in the web in general. I also have couple of cookbooks (though it's not really cooking :-)) but since I don't eat that way myself (I'm just curious about food) I can't really recommend any. But I would recommend the book by Brazier called Thrive.
