I love this. I feel like you and Nate are the only raw vegans in the world that aren't fruit-based LOL. But I like that you're different from everyone!
i was a raw vegan years ago when I was in high school, and I only ate thousands of calories of fruit. if I were to do this lifestyle again, I agree with you that I would take a balanced approach with all food groups. I think there is a lot of unfortunate fear mongering in the raw community surrounding science and mainstream advice. I think many dietetic associations promote a diet which could be done raw if you just replace things with raw alternatives (nutritionally speaking). At my everyday person's primary care's office in rural Massachusetts, they don't even have a regular food pyramid or myplate on the wall, they have a plant-based food pyramid and that is their recommendation to people. And the evidence based omnivorous recommendations aren't even far off to what many vegans eat already anyway, just replace with vegan substitute.
Great video. I am happy to hear veggies so affirmed because I love my big salads. I find fruits very supportive too, a pleasure to eat and they help get me my ration of daily calories. One big smoothie and I'm already almost halfway there. I gotta say, bananas are sacred.
I do try to have greens/ vegetables with every meal whether it be a green smoothie or a salad because if you’re trying to get 1-2 pounds of greens in, then you kinda have to. If you don’t, then your dinner salad of 1-2 pounds of greens would be ginormous and nearly impossible (for me) to finish.
Thank you. I'm still very much trying to coax my body to eat more veg. I have a whole head of lettuce plus 2-3 cups of other veg , plus a bulky dressing . It's a huge bowl. But I'm hungry again an hour later… (fruit fills me up more , but it was ruining me teeth…)
Thank you Lissa, for the information you relay. I recent purchased the vegan bundles, and was so impressed by your soups, I brought several books. I have decided to go fully raw, and appreciate the time and effort of uploading. Many thanks, and blessings to you.

I'm fruit til 4pm then afterwards I introduce my big salad around 6-7pm. I'm in the UK and it's winter now so it's easier to get salads in
Thanks Lisa, I totally agree with you. I very much enjoy two huge raw salads every day and
Fruit to supplement

Totally agree about eating more vegetables
I am the same.. I haven't been wrong but I am finding that I like savory I really am not eating the fruit I'm buying as much as the salads.
