I tried hard to be RAW for about 6 months, but during that time I would of had the odd (shock horror: srambled egg on toast every few nights, a meat pie once a week) as an evening meal just to keep my hunger intact. Overall though I would say I ate 70%-80% raw, and some days maybe up to 90%. I lost a lot of weight, 1 stone in 6 months which I believe is 14 pounds and for someone is isn't exactly big already that isn't good.

Now I've just recently decided to take a back step to being vegan, but still consume as much RAW fruit and veg (and veg juices) as before but have some cooked food in the evening to keep me more full and "satisfied", but strickly no meat and diary this time.

As for foods for vegans, you can get meat AND diary replacers, you can get vegan sausages, vegan ham-like slices and vegan burgers (the brand Quorn DOES contain egg so watch out for them).All the above you can add to a nice salad of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, peppers, onions etc.

I've also been eating recently potatoe waffles and potato hash browns, wholewheat pasta with this tomoto and herb sauce and made lentil pie last week which was lovely which contained red tentils, celery, leaks and carrots under a potato topping.

I was bulimic for four years and have been in remission for two. Do to a health crisis (not directly related to my bulimia) I have been on and off raw since November of 2004. Any kind of diet or fast is not going to "rid" you of bulimia. It is an emotional/psychological addiction that needs to be addressed for you to recover. Believe me, I've been getting help for 2 years, and still have some binge behaviors. Another thing, is to make sure your raw diet is balanced- or else you are likely to bing binge binge. Addictions are extremely hard to break unless you get down to the source. My advice is to uncover the reasons to became bulimic and work on changing them. I became bulimic because I never felt good about how I looked. Now I have learned to love myself- even though I have gained wieght since stopping my eating disorder, and even when things don't go my way. Bulimia is a disease of control---wanting to have control over yourself, the way you look, the way others percieve you. Let go of that control issue, learn to love yourself, to trust yourself, and your body. Don't deny your body food and don't use the raw diet as a way to control yourself...because in that manner you will be manifesting the bulimic energy and not confronting the issues behind it.
