Re: Raw vegetable diet resources

Sounds like you're basically attempting a raw version of Dr. Fuhrman's diet.

May I ask why you're doing it this way and for how long? Why no fruits???

I was basically eating your way (mostly salads) for about a month after coming off a week-long veggie fast that cured my worst health condition and wanted to start eating more plant-based, but I started to lose weight rapidly until and researched more and found out there's just not enough calories in only vegetables to sustain you for very long. I had to start adding in grains, tubers, and fruit to get the calories I needed. Now I'm eating more towards fruitarian.

For any long-term raw lifestyle, I would recommend high-fruit/low fat such as the 80-10-10 diet from sites like these:
