Low Fat Raw Vegans

I do know where to get protein from, I was on Atkins for six months (vegetarian) Ate 150 grams of protein and felt horrible. Protein is overrated, I think. There are raw vegans athletes. (iron man, fitness comp, cycling, ultra marathoners, etc.)
If I'm aiming for 10% of my 2000 calories to come from protein, A few cups of broccoli will meet my goal by itself.
However, at 2g per cup, I think you may want to re-evaluate the last statement. Try 25 cups.0 -
Really wanted to do Raw. I really wish that I could, but I tried it for a week and constantly felt like I was about to pass out.0

You really do need protein in your diet. 50g is fine for the ordinary person that doesn't work out hard, so that's fine. But where are you going to get it from? Do some serious research on this. In case you're not aware you'll probably need to supplement Vitamin B12 as well.
Do your research. For now, stick to what you know in vegetarianism.0 -
Not sure how the vegan low-fat diet would work but feel free to add me if you want. I'm just a plain ole vegan.0

I'm curious, is this for health reasons?0

Sounds funny but I was just looking into this. I'm not a fan of the 811/ 30 bananas a day thing personally but the idea of raw is interesting. I am working on a more 40/20/20 vegan thing working toward raw and that diet is balanced by all standards. You need fat to function and all fat on a veggie diet is beneficial and no one should purposely drop below 15% protein for an extended period of time.0

Yup, because calories, just like other measures like, oh I don't know, pounds for example, are variable like that.
Everyone knows a pound bricks weights way more than a pound of foam.
I'm curious though, name one Iron Man athlete that eats like that, 10% proteins, 10% fat ?
Again, not really looking to argue the fact that you eat like that, because I don't really care. I do care however about the healthy claims The Twinkie diet worked pretty well for one guy, but he didn't claim he could finish Kona though, that's the difference.0 -
I live with someone who is gluten-casein-nut-meat - free...and eats mostly fruits,vegetables and fish -- pescatarian is the term I guess, and even with fish, a diet so limited is such a pain in the *kitten*. food choices are so limited and boring. but then again, people on restricted diets are often one step away from an eating disorder. and some people with eating disorders mask their ED with diets that have a name and severe restrictions.
but, good luck. I hear it is somewhat healthy. just so ... boring.0 -
I am vegan and so is my wife. We are both perfectly heathly and normal weight. Someone says they are vegan and people think that is free reign to attack? Veganism is not any less healthy than vegetarianism. Saying you are vegan is pretentious? Haha what a bunch of *kitten*.0

I think the OP is doing a great job defending his position without you stepping in and calling people *kitten*.0 -

uh, not really sure if you're mocking me or not here, what I mean is people can eat many more calories from fruits and veggies than they can from other foods. I am not sure why, but it's a well documented fact.0 -

Why such an abyssmal amount of protein? Why not go for a diet that's a bit more balanced than 80/10/100
