Raw Food Questions from a newbie

Hi everyone! I have had a lot of GI issues the last year and a half and am considering going Raw Vegan...but I have some questions.

I follow the eat right for your type diet and since I am blood type O my diet recommends a carnivore diet, so mostly lean protein. I have followed this way of eating for a while and am very lean and muscular. But I started to get GI issues and found out I have acidic blood. Along with that came a lot of food allergies, constipation, fatigue, bloating, and gas. I think that the raw food diet would be good for me, but will it make me lose my muscle and leaness? Also how does it provide energy for exercise? I am extremely fit, I run marathons, weight lift, and do triathlons....will I have enough protein and energy with this way of living? I have some friends that are vegetarians and they are overweight, is that possible on this kind of diet?

Thanks for all your help!

  • Thanks everyone for your help. My last question is where can I get some great resources to help me go raw vegan? I read one forum on here on what some people eat and some people say they only eat fruit all day...that is way too much sugar for me and I can't see that being balanced and healthy. I want some guidance on how to get enough of everything without overdoing it.

    Thanks!
