I've been vegan for a about 3 years and learned about raw foods 2 years ago. I was dealing with digestive issues and trying to fully recover from a decade long struggle with an eating disorder. Eating raw foods definitely helped and had great energy at first, but was eating nuts and other high-fat foods in large qualities. My energy levels started crashing and my skin started to break out badly.
I started hanging out with a friend of mine that was also a raw vegan and he introduced me to 80 10 10 and gave me a copy of Dr. Graham's book. He also introduced me to Freelee's YouTube channel. I didn't read 80 10 10 for almost a year and watched Freelee's videos, but was skeptical that could have positive results. I was a little afraid of eating as many calories as was suggested on this lifestyle.
A few months ago, I discovered Sasha from rice and raw's youtube and tumblr account. Her message and story gave me the reassurance I needed to try a high carb low fat raw till 4 (about 1 time a week I'm fully raw) vegan lifestyle. Near the end of December, I decided to experiment and try eating this way. So far, I've gained some weight and just began losing some of it slowly, which doesn't bother me that much. My digestion, skin, and energy levels are significantly better than they were before. I also adore my fruit and always feel satisfied. I'm going to keep eating this way until it stops working for me.
