Just watched this documentary. I want to incorporate more into my life!

I Like It RAW is a documentary based on the premise that food is medicine. Join documentary filmmaker Dana Giesbrecht as she follows 5 meat-eating Albertans ...

Check out the link in the article that has a HUGE list of companies that are vegan :)

Lest anyone not think the animals suffer, they would be sadly mistaken. I'll spare the reader the graphic...

I am wondering right now, how much of this has been brought about by companies like Monsanto? "Genetic diversity is the hedge between us and global famine." Wow. WE REALLY NEED TO PAY ATTENTION HERE!!

I made this for dinner two nights ago, and I must say it was off the hook good! I love Russell James' recipes....so far the best I have found. This one is REALLY easy and you don't need a dehydrator. So if you love mushrooms, this is a great marinade!!

[New Recipe] Jerk Spiced Portobellos, Coconut Cauliflower Rice, Mango Salsa.

In love with these Jamaican spice combos. This cauliflower rice with coconut oil, clove and thyme is a keeper.

Really informative website on starting a raw vegan lifestyle and putting a check on your nutrition. I am really starting to pay more attention to this. Also, I am looking more into food combining, which aids in healthy digestion.

Where does a raw foodist gets his raw food nutrition (protein, iron, calcium)? Here's an overview and nutrition chart. Plus tips to check for yourself how you're doing plus a resource list.

Try this Asian Chopped Salad from The Raw Chef and if you want more quick, easy and simple top raw food recipes like this, check out Weekday Raw.

After doing endless searches for recipes, I have found that I LOVE Russell James, the Raw Vegan Chef's recipes the best. www.therawchef.com He's got a few freebies out there, but way too expensive for me to join his online classes.....maybe someday.

Okay, so its been two weeks since I created this page, and about a good solid 1 1/2 weeks that I have been fully raw vegan. I have learned a lot in this short time. I have discovered what is not really raw and I have been eating. I will continue to finish these items as I can't see wasting food, I will just do it on a very limited basis....such as cashews and cacao. I have lost 6 pounds and feel a ton lighter....no more bloat. I know I need to eat more, but raw tends to be more dense and filling....maybe that is why a lot of hard core raw people drink smoothies made from 100% of a fruit, such as pears or peaches. I can say that the cravings for carbs still exist and there has been some "fight" back from others that I prepare food for not liking it so much....so there needs to be a compromise. I haven't figured out what that will be yet. Possibly doing a Raw til 4 plan. There are so many more awesome food ideas I haven't even begun to try on the raw vegan diet and I am excited to continue my journey and keeping up. I have not started my workout plan yet, as I wanted to give myself a chance to acclimate to the diet before putting additional stress on my body (good excuse huh? lol) I need to change my sleeping habits!!! I've always been a night owl :) To be continued
