  • Honestly I don't think fighting to be raw is worth it at this point. Fruititarianism can be really great and many people thrive eating that way, but diet is only one piece of a helthy lifestyle, and I believe that in your situation at this point in time, insisting one 100% raw would do more damage to you're overall wellbeing. When I say this I don't mean phisicaly(although it could if you are unable to obtain enough produce to get adequate nutrition) my main concern is it could damage your relationship with your family if they don't support the diet. This could couse a lot of stress and tension. Also if it is to expencive that could also add to the stress. This is addressing points. 4 and5.
    It sounds like you are very lucky to have parent who care a lot about you and are respecting your decision to be vegan. Raw is good, but I believe you can be just as healthy on a cooked vegan diet.
    Perhaps you can could compromise by having a fruit smoothly are fruit meal for breakfast and incorporating cooked foods the rest of the day. Eat lots of fresh foods and make cooked meals whole foods like rice, beans vegetables, potatoes ect. These are still helthy.
    Also focuse on overall health emotionally, mentally spiritually as well as physically. Doug graham has an excellent list of components of helth in 801010 It includes: healthy food, water, sleep, clean air, appreciation of nature, friends community, music, relaxation, excircise, friends, family, mental stimulation, work, art, family, sexual expression, usefulness, recreation, spirituality, laughter
    This is my opinion bases of my experience fighting an eating disorder starting at 14, and becoming a raw vegan in high school. My parents allowed me to be fruitarian, and it has been difficult even with their support. It wouldn't have worked without them. I relapses into anorexia as I was transitioning to raw when I was 16. I nearly died again. I have not been underweight for the past 4 years, I am mostly raw and have been since for the past 3 years. I still struggle with disordered eating and am begging to understand that the perfect diet will not solve everything
