Hey Guys! I'm new too this site - And so I'm going to post this exact same post in a few of the discussion forums (plz don't get pissed off!) I started a YT Channel just over a week ago where I call out flakey vegans, celebs who are not vegan, fitness "gurus" who promote low carb diets etc......and also discuss things such as eating disorders, veganism, life, FOOD etc

Fat free hummus

Anyone have any recipes for fat free hummus or at least low fat? Oil can be removed but tahini is packed with fat. Any advice will be helpful!

Are Harley and Freelee "Bullies"? - My Response to Cornelia Grimsmo

2016-02-26T01:06:12.000Z

What do you guys think of the "bullying" approach used by some Youtubers such as Freelee, Harley, Vegan Gains etc? Personally, I think its what is needed, and is the most effective way of spreading the vegan message. This is a response to the video posted yesterday by Youtuber Cornelia Grimsmo in which she criticises the vegan activists who "bully" and "shame" people for their dietary choices.....(I'm assuming that she's referring to Freelee, Harley, Vegan Gains etc.....)

SKIN BREAKOUTS...SICK OF THEM! HELP PLEEEEASE

2015-03-24T01:43:16.000Z

So lately my skin has been breaking out like crazy...not on my face or chest just on my back!? I haven't had "breakouts" since I was about 18-19, only the occasional pimple.

I would LOVE to know what everyone else does for clear skin, is it to do with food combining? too much of a certain fruit? not enough greens? too much fat/not enough? Is it detox?

I drink 3-4L of a water a day so it's definitely not that. I eat raw till 4 most days unless i'm out of fruit and have to eat something cooked for lunch. I avoid added salt, overt fats are kept to a minimum (2 times a week in the form of avocado usually)

It's to the point where i don't even want to wear tops/dresses that expose my back.

I'm 24 so I shouldn't be experiencing acne still I would have thought?

please help fruit bats :)

14 month raw vegan craving salt

2014-12-16T00:10:10.000Z

Hello Guys,

So I have been raw vegan, raw till 4 (one day a week) for 14 months now and I recently started going to the gym to lift weight and do a HIIT/Cross fit kind of workout. Lately i have been eating a lot of greens (kale, frozen peas, collards, celery) because my body craves it but today specially I have this craving to eat something salty. Just now i bought nutritional yeast (I kow it is not allowed here, but i rather have that instead of salt - 12 months ago I went on a two day fast to give up salt and I remember the pain)
What do you think? I guess i am lacking some minerals. Have you had any experience like mine?

Thanks for your response.

Winter's Coming...Strategies For Staying Carbed Up In Northern Hemisphere?

2014-11-05T12:01:39.000Z

So, yeah, I live in NYC and I can only grow like a 4x4 pallet of greens. The only thing that survives even this far into fall is my kale - and most of that is gone as I really like a kale smoothie at night - not a big fan of kale salad. I'd rather drink it!

What are you doing or what can you suggest for smashing it in during winter here in the colder part of the world? I can buy some decent organic fruit ... usually. But there are times when weather prevents deliveries and ... I don't know, I hate having my entire diet consist of stuff that's flown/trucked in.

My list:

Bananas

Apples

Pears

Dates/Dates/More Dates

Squash

Sweet potatoes

Carrots

Add to this list, please!!!!!!

Cheating

2014-09-20T07:15:29.000Z

Hello everyone!

Soo, I've been raw till 4 for about 1 month and feel super duper great. I have just one problem .. I keep on cheating once a week; 1 pack of oreos, chips, popcorn etc.
I really annoys me because I feel like it's preventing me from losing and even making gain weight ..
Last year I lost 10 kg and became under weight - I was also binging a lot. Now I've gained all the weight back, which is fine, even though I could use losing 1-2 kg.

I also think that my body is used to being "full full". Now even if I eat a lot I still feel light and fresh - so it's like my body needs to feel really full before it's satisfied.

A DAY:

BREAKFAST

I usually don't eat breakfast untill 9, because I'm still soooo full from the day before.

- 200 g of dates (650 cal)

LUNCH:

I'll eat a salad (200 cal) at about 12 pm or if I'm still not so hungry I'll eat ricecakes when I come home at 2-3 pm (700 cal)

DINNER:

The rest of the day my main goal is to eat eat eat, so I'll prepare dinner at 4 . Then I cook some corn pasta (700 cal) with some vegetables (250 cal). And then I'm sooo full untill next morning.

Hope you guys can help!

Need help with Raw Till 4, Lethargic after two days..

2014-09-03T11:51:42.000Z

I went on the raw till 4, for three days... I was consuming 2000 each day, and eating mono fruit meals till 4 and cooked rice/vegies/vegan veggie soups for tea :)

After day 3, I noticed my heart rate was raised and that my breathing on the 3rd day was really bad when I went for a small 5km jog... On the fourth day I decided to do the Raw till 4 transition a little slower and just start with cutting down to breakfast being my only mono fruit meal... then start doing breakfast and lunch as a fruit mono meal e.c.t....

I've been taking multi-vitamins and B12..

I've recently fallen really sick and I'm so unbelievably lethargic...I'm not too sure if it's just a really bad flu but I've been bed ridden all day. I've just gotten up and been able to walk...

Can anyone let me know if my symptoms are detox. Because if they are it doesn't feel right.. I've never been bed ridden in my life and so weak and in a lot of pain...I'm hoping I've gotten a bad flu or something because I was scared and went back to eating normally for a bit till I am better..

Best blender for blending dates?!?! HELP!

2014-07-09T22:13:55.000Z

I noticed on freelee's videos that her date-orade smoothies are always super creamy and yummy looking. But when I blend dates, they hardly break up and I'm stuck with eating a bunch of skin and not a yummy shake. :-( Does anyone have a blender they would recommend? It's really hard to get my dates in when I can't even blend them properly. Please help! thank you xox

What made you decide to go vegan/when did you start eating vegan?

2014-06-20T03:46:09.000Z

Hello!!!My name is Stephanie and I'm from the USA. I am 16 years old, going on 17 next month. I "tried" being vegan when I was 14 but I was really uneducated (about veganism and the affects that eating animals and their products has on them, our health, and our planet) and immature at the time, so I gave up within days. I started being a vegetarian at the end of February of this year. One day my sister (who is also vegan and is the person who encouraged me to be vegan) just came over to me and showed me a video of chicks being crushed in a factory farm. That was the first time I had heard of/knew of how the animals were treated, and as I learned more, I became more disgusted and remorseful of the animal products I continued to eat, so I made the change. I became vegan. I have been vegan since April of this year, and I have recently started doing raw till 4.

What helped/made you transition from eating meat to being vegan? And when/what age did you start?

Thank you :)

Hey I'm Heather!

2014-06-05T19:29:27.000Z

Hey everyone! I'm Heather from South Carolina and I love this lifestyle! I've lost 30 pounds already eating raw till 4. Before I found this lifestyle I had thought I was destined to keep the weight I had gained forever because nothing seemed to work and then this just clicked and worked easily. But I know it is not all about weight and now I am a voice for the animals and the planet. I want to do my part to help leave this world better than I found it and save all living beings. I also have more energy, much better sleep, and just overall feel better on this lifestyle! Since I don't personally know any other vegans much less HCRV, I am so thankful to be part of 30BAD! It is hard to eat healthy in this southern part of the world surrounded by fried this and fried that, but I want to show people that it can be done! I have had such a great journey and love this lifestyle so much that I want to share it with everyone! Freelee and Durianrider have really inspired me.

Detox Symptoms 5 months in 801010 rawtill4?

2014-05-30T11:34:59.000Z

I've been experiencing some unusual acne, specifically on my forehead which is normally the last place you'll ever find acne on my face. Also some bad breath which is strange because I only eat fruit, veggies and starches with minimal seasoning. I've also been having a bloated belly regularly.

Are these detox symptoms/has anyone experienced something similar 5 months in rather than initially when starting this lifestyle?
