I love dried fruit. Usually, I used freeze dried fruits float to make drink. It is no sugar, natural sweet and definitely raw.

I'm also suffering from severe stomach discomfort, low mood when trying to eat cooked foods. I've been RAW for slightly over one year (to reverse autoimmune disease) and I'm trying to add a small amount of cooked foods but get so, so sick!!!! Would really like to learn how to be able to eat occasional/ small quantities of cooked foods. Any insight is greatly appreciated
Hi Claire,
Many thanks for your reply. Yes, I was wondering about upping the nuts and avocado because I don't think I've been eating enough calories as I'm hungry all the time. I will give this a go.
Thanks again,
Lili
Hi,
I'm a newbie to a raw vegan diet but only just started four days ago, having previously been an omnivore. I tried keto in a previous attempt to lose weight but felt terrible – not the keto flu, but had weird mental feelings that I called the "horrors". This stopped when I upped my carbs. I've started to get the horrors again on the raw vegan diet and this stopped when I added cooked sweet potatoes. My question is what dense carbs can I eat that aren't cooked? Or should I just carry on with the cooked addition until I've got used to being raw?
Thanks,
Lilib
Hello,
As if January 8th, would anyone care to join me on a mono-fruit (5 day challenge)? I could use the support lol.
I have little willpower and would love to record and share experiences with others.

Hello,
I have experienced a similar situation. What worked for me was applying lemon, coconut oil and mashed cucumber or avocado as a mask.
You would prepare this for an evening remedy as you don't want to expose your face in sunlight with the application of lemon.
As an alternative, macadamia or tee tree oil is also very helpful.
I wish you success with your treatment.
:)
Hello everyone,
I am new to this group. I was interested in doing a mono fruit detox and was wondering if anyone has any experience in this department?
I currently live in Thailand surrounded by amazing fruits.
I look forward to hearing about the types of mono fruit cleanses one has done and the duration.
Have a great day.

Hi,
this is my first time posting here but I've read this forum for a long time and appreciate it a lot. I've been raw for 3 months and one of the first things I noticed was that my periods got better. But now, 3 months in, I still have problems with much pain etc. I've read that some people have success with fasting to alleviate endometriosis, and am looking for more information on that approach. And I am also curious in anything else that may help! Does anyone have any experience? Also if you have any links or directions to other resources about this I would be very grateful.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post, looking forward to learning from your experiences.
I lnow your questiin was asked some time ago, but I am nee to this community. I am married to a vegan and I care for my mother who is not. Some days the temptation is truly there, so I feel your pain. I use to be an emotional binge eater, and I constantly would break from the healthy lifestyle I desired to have.
I have gastroparesis (my stomach processes food slowly, making it difficult to take meds, and often times my stomach hurt after meals. I would have distant bloating, I was a type 2 diabetic, high blood pressure and cholesterol and I am a cancer aurvivor of 2 years.
One day I just got tired of being sick. Fast forward to one month of clean eating and no cheating, the results have been phenomenal.
The Dr. Told me months ago I had growth in the area in which cancer had been removed. Imagine my fear. I refused to get biopsied and started my RAW Vegan journey. 3 months since being told of the growth and 1 month RAW the growth is gone, Im no longer diabetic, my blood preasure readings are normal, awaiting my next cholesterol check, I am now able to eat salads and more fruits/veggies (I could barely eat anything, a banana would make me full and make my tummy ache a little - it didnt take much), my appetite has actually increased and Im able to eat more.
Make sure you are filled up with what you need for self bedore cooking. The temptation will not be as great. If you are not able to drink a smoothie or munch on fresh fruit while cooking. It can be challenging, but IT CAN BE DONE. Always remember your WHY? Why did you start? NOTHING tastes as good as HEALTHY feels. Just remind yourself of this ALWAYS. You've got this. If you fell off by time you read this, start again. I'm rooting for you. We all need a cheerleader, Ill be that for you.
