Now, into Conquer Cravings to Make Raw Food Sustainable and Fun
We shared tips on how to make raw food sustainable, satisfying, and fun. From experimenting with new recipes to finding creative ways to prepare meals, the possibilities are endless. The key is to approach raw veganism with an open mind and a willingness to try new flavors and textures.
Common Questions About Raw Veganism
During the interview, we addressed several common questions about raw veganism. For instance, we discussed whether hot water is considered raw and how to determine if dried herbs are raw. Generally, raw foodists focus on foods that are not heated above 118°F (48°C), but some flexibility is allowed for practicality and to bring focus on the aspects of the diet that have the biggest health impact.
Eating Enough on a Raw Vegan Diet
One of the biggest challenges people face on a raw vegan diet is ensuring they eat enough calories. I emphasized the importance of simplifying your approach by focusing on high-calorie fruits and being sure to eat enough greens and vegetables over the long term. For example, if you’re eating primarily juicy fruits like watermelon, you might need a large quantity to meet your caloric needs, whereas denser fruits like bananas provide more calories per pound.
Addressing Nutritional Concerns
We also touched on nutritional concerns, such as iron absorption. I shared that fruits like oranges and figs are high in iron, and pairing greens with vitamin C-rich foods can enhance iron absorption. Additionally, I mentioned that my partner was able to improve her iron levels significantly through dietary changes.
Sprouting and Raw Veganism
I discussed my experience with sprouting, noting that while it can add variety to your diet, it’s not essential for a raw vegan lifestyle. I enjoy sprouting chickpeas and lentils, which can be used in delicious curries.
Protein and Muscle Building
We talked about protein and muscle building on a raw vegan diet. I shared my experience of gaining significant muscle mass while following a low-protein diet, emphasizing that it’s easy to get enough protein if you’re eating enough calories from whole foods.
