Dearest Veggie Lovers,
If your a fan on the Facebook page you know we are counting down to March 1st, when Blackveganlove.com and I will be hosting a 7 Day Raw Fast. The challenge is completely FREE all you need to do is like the Facebook page and stay tuned to the blog for new updates, recipes, and inspiration to make it through the fast. Spring is just around the corner, so this is a great way to get your all natural glow on, or jumpstart your health goals.
Just in case you are a complete newbie to raw foods, here’s a brief summary by my buddy Aiya of blackveganlove.com:
Raw Food = uncooked, unheated, enzyme active, nutritionally dense, goodness straight from Mother Nature herself. So whether it’s fresh fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, pseudo grains, sprouts etc. none of them are prepared on a stove, in the oven, or heated beyond the 105-120 degree F range in a dehydrator. Vegan Raw Foodists create their dishes by blending, mixing, dehydrating, cutting, juicing, freezing, pureeing and chopping their food to come up with dishes that are both tasty and nutritious.
Hopefully you will be inspired to join in with us! If so, make sure you start planning your grocery list now and start stocking up on fresh organic fare before Saturday. -XoXo Raw Girl
Hi, love your blog! This looks great and I would love to join, but what are your thoughts on breastfeeding women joining in the healthy raw fun? Thank you!
Hi Thanks so much, I knew nothing about this so I did some research for you. I really respect this source, love this guys show, watch the video from around 2 minutes and 50 seconds on http://renegadehealth.com/blog/2009/10/01/is-it-safe-to-switch-to-raw-foods-while-breastfeeding Utimately, it’s your decision in tandem with your doctor, but it sounds to me like you would not put yourself in danger as long as you are consuming enough calories. In fact, you would decrease the amount of toxicity in your breast milk. -XoXo Raw Girl
Also if for some reason you start to feel weak off of animal protein (because I do not believe vegan is for everyone) consider high raw with some vegetarian sources like eggs and dairy. -XoXo Raw Girl
