• I don't get tied up in recipes. Fruit smoothies or just plain fruit is good enough for me. I don't crave anything sweet after eating lots of fruit, and usually get a good boost of energy.

• Just tell people you are vegan, and don't use the word raw. They might pay less attention to the fact the food is raw, and plus just saying your vegan is way over people's heads. Who else is vegan?? Maybe mention some of these people: http://www.veg…

• Don't forget the most important: Sun and Exercise to build bones. Resistance training builds bone density and Vitamin D has a lot to do with building bones as well.

• Yes it is ok to eat as many as you want. To lose weight you eat less calories than you require. I believe the formula is 10 cals/ lbs of body weight to lose, 15 to maintain and 20 to gain. So if a person weights 150lbs they should consume 1500 cals …
