Answers: I am a RAW VEGAN. During the summer I did 100% Raw. Now that it is cooler I usually do 75-85% Raw..which is still considered a Raw Diet, lots of people do not know that fact.

Yep.
I dabble in raw (vegan) foods.
I was raw for 5 months, and felt awesome. Of course when the weather changes and it gets colder I crave warm foods. Now I go through phases of raw/cooked vegan. It's definitely a journey.
I find it interesting but it seems like a hard diet to follow. And, some foods are more nutritious cooked. It would be very hard to go out to eat and only eat raw foods unless you have a variety of raw food restaurants in your area. I'm vegan and it is tough enough to find vegan foods while dining out without them having to be raw too. I recently purchases a raw food cookbook and will add some raw foods to my diet but I doubt that I would want to go exclusively raw.
sometimes, but i couldn't be a raw vegan... i want a hot soy burger or some lentil soup every once in a while... Lol... i don't care if i don't live to 200 years old or not...
Like perhaps raw hotdogs or raw turkey? Yeah I love that stuff!
I went raw with my husband for about 30 days. His psoriasis almost totally cleared up. I planning on doing it again I'm just not sure if this is something I can do long term.
It's a lot of shopping to keep it up to keep all that fresh produce at hands reach.
I think its a wonderful idea. i wish it were easier to do.....I'm convinced that raw diets would cure a whole host of autoimmune diseases (severe allergies, arthritis, etc.) and a couple others. If I don't get some relief from this exclusion diet I'm on (for food allergies,) I'm going totally raw! :)
I was raw for about a month or so and I did really like it. I tried a lot of experimental recipes and only about half of them turned out okay. I definitely felt and saw a difference. It is definitely a new way of eating if you're used to a lot of cooked foods, especially for dinner. It presented some problems when I was away from home (could have been solved if I had planned better more often). I went back to eating some cooked foods, mostly beans and some rice, but then it was so easy to slip in some brown rice pasta, then my husband was really craving pizza...and then it was some cookies...then a Izze soda here and there...and of course how can you give up tortilla chips. Because these foods are so much better and healthier than what I was eating BEFORE I went raw it was easy to justify adding them back to my diet since they're still all natural and all. I'm now at about 75% raw most days. I try and eat raw fruit or a smoothie in the morning and make either lunch or dinner a big salad, but there are more days lately where I just make sure to have something raw with my meal. I'd like to go back to eating more raw. It takes discipline, but it's worth it.
I usually eat hamburger raw, it taste real good with salt on it
Yeah, I like to eat raw bloody meat!
i like raw clams and oysters too!!!
