HCLF Vegan Friends in Stockholm, Sweden

2017-01-22T12:20:06.000Z

Hi,

I'm looking for HCLF Vegan friends in Stockholm.

I've worked abroad for 5 years as a scuba instructor and when I returned to Sweden all my old friends had moved to cities far away or we didn't have anything in common any more after i became a non-partying vegan in 2015.

Would be great to hang out, support each other in the HCLF vegan lifestyle, go out in nature together, exploring vegan foods, work out together...

I don't drink alcohol and don't do any drugs or tobacco.

Please let me know if you'd like to meet up or just say hi :)

2016-02-13T06:40:23.000Z

Vegans in LA Interested in a Meet and Greet?

2016-01-24T02:35:21.000Z

Hey guys, I'd love to help in setting up a meet and greet for any vegans / vegetarians / or just people interested in learning more and exploring the plant based lifestyle. I've been vegan out here for 2 years and haven't met one other person yet, granted I do go out semi-often so maybe we really are rare? Lol. Anyways, if you're looking to connect with more vegans like I am, post a shout out and let's get this party rolling!

Losing Friends After Going Vegan

2015-07-23T23:23:35.000Z

Hey guys,

After I posted my "Does BBQ Cause Cancer" video on my personal facebook page I noticed my friend number starting to drop. Have you experienced the same thing after going vegan?

Making friends or getting skilled ? what's more important ?

2015-07-11T11:58:15.000Z

I find very hard to do both at the same time.

Right now I'm foccussing on getting skilled in android programming (with the distant goal of designing in-seasons meals and shopping list, and make the question "what
are we gonna eat tonight ?" become an old memory).

I've never been spending much time giving my point of view or defending the point of view of the people I agree with, not that I found that useless, but just that I
couldnt afford to spend time on this.

Now I end up with 2 problems :
1 - I've become nearly autistic. A few years of talking to a computer and you are not able anymore to make yourself understand.
2 - Because people don't really get what I'm doing, they don't give me support.

And this lead to the 3rd problem :
3 - If I don't get the support of people for my project, why I am doing it afterall ?

Those last days this question has been continuously in my head.
And you what's your opinion/experience about this ?

Would you start a project even if no-one support you ? or would you first look for support and only then start working ?

Support & Friends

2015-05-17T22:44:19.000Z

Hello there Fruit...bats? Yeah we'll go with that. lol

My first name is Taylor, I am 21, and I live in Springfield Oregon. I am looking for other people in this community, and near me who are either interested in this lifestyle or already cemented in it. I'd like to chat, and see how well we get along, and then maybe meet; because if I am going to do this and make these changes I will need at least one other buddy I can see for extra support and encouragement.

Is there any animal fat that is healthy?

2015-05-08T18:48:51.000Z

I don't think that there's one. In Spain, we have Jamón Serrano and people always say that is recommended to eat 100 grams a day. They say that is good for your cardiovascular health and that lowers cholesterol. I'm like what? It's full of sodium plus we all can healthy fats without killing animals.

Looking for like-minded fellow earthlings! :-)

2015-02-24T19:19:23.000Z

Hi!

I'm Lara. I'll give you a brief overview of... me! I currently live in the U.S.A. but I am actually from Germany. I have lived here for most of my life. (I am still fluent in German though!) I live in a rural small town with little diversity. I have no vegan friends and I am constantly on the look out for other people like me.

I absolutely adore traveling. Next year I plan on taking a backpack, shoving in a few necessities, and traveling across Europe. I'd love to talk to potential travel buddies! I also love everything about nature. I like to explore our Earth as often as I can. I am also intrigued by the spiritual aspects of life, and love learning more about it. I am terrible at describing myself but if you'd like to talk more and be friends, let me know!!

Vegans in Cape Town

2015-02-05T18:24:45.000Z

Hi lovelies, I live in Cape Town (only for a year now) and have been vegan for 6 months but I don't know anyone else that is vegan so if anyone is looking for some fellow HCLF raw till 4 vegan support reach out. Much love <3

I need friends :(

2014-10-26T01:36:20.000Z

lol! I have friends, but they aren't vegan and they don't really support the lifestyle. Today I got in a fight with them because they don't think fruit has fibre! Like, what? I just need someone to talk to that will support me and relate to me in veganism!

i need motivation!

2014-10-14T14:14:29.000Z

I am a surfer, skater, yogi, weight lifter, and lover of running in the sand at the beach. Lately though, I have gained some weight due to lack of self motivation to get out and run and lift. Anyone want a fruity buddy to keep them on track? Because I do! Especially during the college life school season, I always drift off a little bit.

Maybe we can do a texting or messaging like system. :]

Hope some of you are interested! I need the help and am happy to help motivate as well!

Oregon and Washington

2014-10-09T03:12:46.000Z

I'm currently on a road trip and my next stop is Oregon and then on to Washington. I love the pacific northwest but I've never been there vegan! The goal of this trip is to find a place to settle. Any tips or thoughts on good cities in the pacific northwest for vegans/hcv? As well, if any of you live out there, or know people who do, I'd love to meet you and make some new friends!!

New Here and Seeking Help!

2014-09-29T16:54:01.000Z

Hi, all. I am SO excited to be a part of this site. I started Raw til Four in May of this year (drinking my banana smoothie as we speak). Although, this lifestyle is new to me, I am 100% certain I have found my calling and will never go back to the extremely toxic lifestyle I was living. I am experiencing all of the incredible changes we have all experienced/read about with this lifestyle and my compassion for animals and nature has done a 180. Anyway, I am posting this because I am so new to this site and would like advice on where to begin? What groups are the most helpful for beginners? And another random question...does anyone have advice on the best way to purchase dates in bulk? I would love to meet like-minded people like myself and hear any tips you have on getting started with this site. Unfortunately, Boise, Idaho (USA) is a bit behind the times when it comes to progressive thinking and lifestyle, so I have little to no assistance available in my local community.
Blessings and love to all of you and, if you are on Facebook, here is a shameless plug for a Facebook page that I administer. :) www.facebook.com/mypositivegarden

Central Park FruitLuck on July 26th! Let's meet at Columbus Circle at 2pm!

2014-07-13T23:59:19.000Z

Hi all!

I wanted to invite you all to a FruitLuck in Central Park in NYC on July 26th. We will meet at Columbus Circle at 2pm with some tasty, ripe fruit! I decided to host this because what's more fun then getting together and eating fruit? But also, my birthday is July 16th and I'm moving to Vermont at the beginning of August so why not throw a big fruit party?

Here is the link to the invite on facebook:

Central Park FruitLuck Invite on Facebook

If you are coming, email me at apanettamusic@yahoo.com and I can give you my cell phone in case you can't find us!

Love,

Amy

Need someone to help guide and collaborate on my vegan diet!

2014-07-08T23:45:44.000Z

Hello everyone! I'm so excited to be here because i'm passionate about health and I'm so fortunate to have learned about the vegan diet starting about two years ago.

I've had trouble staying on it since my boyfriend is a vegetarian and loves cheese, but after learning so much on animal cruelty, I cannot look at animal products the same ever again.

Thanks to freelee she also help shed light on the egg industry, i'm so furious at the way they treat the little chicks that are just adorable, awwww, then smoosh. You just cant unlearn that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTfvdypnAgg

Anyways, i'm the only vegan in know, its sad. So that's why i'm here, Id love to talk about this with other people and share ideas. I'm slowly going from vegan to raw vegan, and eating mono meals of fruit for breakfast and lunch, just having trouble eating big quantities as recommended. Does this take time? I eat a normal vegan dinner, slightly processed (veggie burgers, daiya cheese, etc) with veggies and usually some sort of grain (rice, whole wheat).

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and meeting vegan people!

I can't deal with people who are undercarbed?

2014-05-28T13:23:27.000Z

The longer I stay on this lifestyle, the more irritated I get with people who starve themselves to "lose weight". they are always on edge and i feel as if i have to be careful with everything i say. i want to scream to them to just eat some good food, but they would probably never talk to me again. these people are my close friends and i understand what it is like to be in their situation, so i am not going to remove them from my life, but do any of you experience the same feeling?

thanks!

Anyone here from New Orleans?

2014-05-22T21:03:04.000Z

I am feeling really alone in this huge raw-less world. Especially now that people only hang out to do a crawfish boil. "oh you can just eat the potatoes" No, no I cant...

Hello from around the world !

2014-05-17T03:47:55.000Z

Hello everyone !

My name's Nathalie and I come from all over the place ! Anyways I'm raw till 4 and I'm just looking for people with whom I can share ideas, philosophy and just talk. Most of my friends think my lifestyle is weird and I just want to talk to someone who actually lives the same way :)

Food for Gatherings

2014-03-17T01:09:28.000Z

So yesterday i had my birthday party and i made tacos.. and still had to serve meat cuz none of my friends are vegan or vegetarian... so i was wondering what's something good that i can serve that people will eat that doesn't have meat or animal products in it??

Canada? Alberta? Edmonton?

2014-03-12T21:33:51.000Z

Hey All!

I am super excited about joining the 30 Bananas A Day site/community. I have been Vegan for ~ just over one year now. I fell of the wagon for a few months (EWW!)...and now I know why... Not enough carbs or calories! Thank goodness for Freelee, Youtube, and the internet or else I may have continued on my off the wagon path (ahhhh! scary). It just goes to show that when you are eating a SAD diet you truly do become sad and confused.

However I have been "carbing up" for the past week and a half and I have never felt better! I have so much energy and I just feel extremely clear headed and ready for life.

Does anyone here live in Canada? Better yet Edmonton, AB? Looking for locals to get together with and increase my vegan friend circle! (I currently eat HCRV till 4)

Looking for Raw Food / High Carb Enthusiats in Philadelphia Pennsylvania Area

2014-01-18T05:03:38.000Z

I know there have to be people in the city who are into this lifestyle, but I am having a hard time finding events or meetups where I can actually meet other high carb/raw vegans.

I'm looking to meet new friends, share ideas, and learn as much as I can about becoming a better individual. Would be fun to hear where people shop, what kind of activities they do for sport, how they've gotten to where they are now, etc.

Hi all!! Jackie from Northern Ireland here :D

2013-12-18T10:42:57.000Z

Hi all!!!

I would love to make friends within this lifestyle and find support. I'm a 22yr fine art sculpture student at University who has been vegan for 1 3/4 years now :D never felt better or happier :D however my happiness often gets questioned and bashed by my parents. They think I am 'stupid' 'doing myself harm' 'going to die' etc also that I'm being tricked by fakes yet when they see me happy and doing great they don't take notice.

I feel very alone in this but I do not want to fail because this is who we are and what we are meant to eat! I constantly get told by my mum "life isn't worth living if you're depriving yourself of nice things to eat and just eating fruit and veg" Then I get yelled at and bashed on when I reply with "you don't deprive yourself of anything if you don't miss it or need it. All my food is yummy...why else do you think I don't want to eat anything else plus I do not want to be apart of animal cruelty."

Anyways I could babble on more and more but I don't want to bore you all. I have been apart (a silent part) of this forum and site yet have not fully delved into the workings of it yet until now.

Please drop by and say hey :) I might start to upload my art works of animals to this? not too sure :P

Peace, free hugs, give a banana and suck a persimmon :D

Does anyone have a copy of 'Making friends with your food' (6 DVD program) that they would like to sell?

2013-12-17T11:27:58.000Z

Hi,

I am looking to buy 'Making friends with your food' (6 DVD program by Prof Rozalind Gruben & dr doug) and was wondering whether anyone may have a copy/set that they no longer need and may want to sell? It is quite expensive to buy brand new so I thought someone may no longer need it anymore.

If you do I would be ever so grateful if you can let me know and perhaps we could agree a fee?

Many many thanks,

CherrySweet

Any Lincoln Nebraska HCRV Out There?

2013-12-13T03:52:11.000Z

Hey everyone,

I am fairly new to this lifestyle and looking for people from my area to support one another! I would love to know if I am seriously the only person in this area who eats this way! Because I certainly get a lot of negative comments about what I eat, how much I eat... ect!

Anyhow, feel free to introduce yourself! (=

I'm afraid to tell my family/friends I'm eating HCRV…

2013-12-03T02:14:17.000Z

I started transitioning in to a HCRV diet only about a month ago. First couple weeks i just changed my breakfast. Just this week i started adding lunch. I've always been big on fruit and veggies, but my intake has drastically increased and i can tell that my family is noticing.

When i mentioned to my mother that i was reading a book about 80/10/10 diet she told me i sounded crazy, and that no one needs to eat that much fruit. Too much sugar and carbs. That most of my diet should be veggies/protein/healthy fats. She of course is on SAD and is extremely over weight. (My step-father is trying, and failing to be on a low carb diet his doctor recommended to him to recover from recent surgery.) I know better than to take her advice over my own knowledge and experience but i can't help but dread her inevitable criticism.

I know she might use my past eating issues against me (5+ years of under eating/over exercising), but i spent the last 12 months getting to a healthy weight and feel better than ever, and can't wait to start eating a 100% HCRV diet and feel even better. I don't know how to make her understand!

I even mentioned to my friend my new fruity habits and she called me "anorexic." Then when i explained how much i ate she just looked at me like i was nuts. She also thinks I'm crazy for tracking my calories, which seems essential when starting on a primarily fruit diet. Which is full of low calorie foods that in my opinion need to be monitored if i intent to maintain a healthy weight.

I'd basically just like some advice on how to open up to everyone about my new life style w/o the people closest to me thinking i have an eating disorder or I'm an extremist. T-T

Any raw vegans in Knoxville?

2013-10-20T16:07:33.000Z

I don't have any vegan friends in my area (much less raw vegan). I'd love to meet some like-minded people! :)

anyone from London ?

2013-09-10T21:57:07.000Z

I am moving to London on October 1st for a couple of months and I am super nervous about not having enough fruit and getting off track. It will be my first time moving away from home and not having the convience of my own kitchen/blender/juicer ! I was wondering if anyone on here is from London and could give me some advice about good spots to get fruit and how it is is London? Some friends wouldnt hurt either! ;)
