Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 80-10-10 raw vegan lifestyle?
Living on raw food means that your food was not altered in a way that modifies the structure of your food. For example if you heat your food beyond a certain temperature the bonds of the molecules will change and it has different effects on our bodies.
What do you eat as a raw vegan?
I eat raw fruits and vegetables (especially leafy greens) and now and then a small amounts nuts and seeds (if they're raw).
Don't you need warm food, especially in winter?
The "cold" food (actually it's not cold, it's usually at room temperature or warmer) has never been a problem for me since I'm eating "raw"...
Don't you eat extremely one-sided?
I eat, spread over the year, hundreds of different kinds of fruits and vegetables, depending on what is in season. In my view that's much more variety than most people have in their diet.
How long have I been vegan and how long raw?
I've started eating raw vegan in the middle of 2011. Before that I was vegetarian for five years.
I can't eat raw foods, I immediately get stomach issues
This problem is often caused by what has been in the stomach or bowl earlier and creates a blockade for the easy to digest fruits or leafy greens, which causes fermentation.
