I'm 17 years old and ive been a vegetarian for 5 years and a vegan for 4 months now. I have a huge love for food and cooking and im very health conscious (maybe a teeny bit obsessed :/ ). I went raw last summer and i just loved it but i found myself craving warm food once winter set in so i started eating really badly and gained like 10 pounds. So in the new year i went vegan thinking I would feel better and i did but I still had a huge sugar addiction to deal with. So I just finished 14 days without sugar which seems to have helped a lot but not completely. Anyways summer is here again and I feel like eating more veggies and loads of fruit so I thought why not go raw... and i found this site again (i used some recipes before but i wasnt a member) and decided to sign up!
I'm really excited to get back into this and I cant wait to get started!
Some other things i love doing are gardening, biking, hiking, and yoga which i want to maybe teach one day.
I'm interested in meeting people from around here (Quebec) who are raw or who have some common interests and are close to my age.
Oh and i was wondering if anyone else takes Vega because i have just started and love the stuff. I was wondering if its raw.. I only started because i was craving meat which has never happened before so i thought maybe being vegan I was missing something in my food.
So im also a huge believer in eating instinctively and I do not want to eat meat even if im craving it so I think ill keep taking this stuff if it ends up helping even if its not raw.

Thanks for the replies! I just got my wisdom teeth out so i wasn't feeling great for the last while. So now im back but finding it hard to start off. I guess the wise thing would be to start adding more fruit and veggies to my diet and slowly transfer cause im not ready to jump in 100% this time.
Sexyraw99,I'm from Montreal too! Its rly impressive you stayed raw for so long, it motivates me to get going and hopefully to keep it up! My email is romantic.comedy@hotmail.com we should talk and maybe do some (un)cooking sometime.
Mikfizzle, I think its worth switching if you can afford it that is cause its sooo expensive. I take half the portion cause its like 90$ for 15 days if you dont which is just outrageous. However Ive heard hemp is also great but i like that Vega has maka and spirullina in it and alot of other things so if you do take the full dose you get 100% and more of your daily vitamins.
Hi Emmasoleil,
Good luck on your raw journey. I live in Gatineau, Quebec and I love to cook and I am very health conscious. I like to create new recipe. In Summer time I have more time to cook and create...
I've never tried Vega either but have heard good things about it.
Ciao,
