Vegan Girl's Raw Food Resources

I went vegan in the winter of 1995, almost entirely for ethical reasons, but I was happy about the incidental health benefits that went along with it. Over the years, vegan food has become so popular that vegan junk food companies have popped up left and right, making it easier than ever to be sick on a vegan diet.

In 2003, I suddenly developed allergies to wheat and gluten, and discovered that I was afflicted with candida (yeast in the blood) that drained me of my health and energy. Long story short, I found raw food, and I'm healthier than I've ever been.

Learn About the Raw Food Diet

• Raw Food MeetUp Group - Nothing is better for learning about raw food than meeting people who will support you, educate you, and inspire you. Try to find a Raw Food MeetUp Group in your area. If there isn't one already, start one. I guarantee you, people will join.
• Raw Guru I find myself on this site fairly often. It's full of great information and simple delicious recipes.
• Raw School - This site exists solely to help you go raw. It's full of free resources and information to help you get started.
• Raw for 30 Days Movie Trailer - Think diabetes is an unavoidable fact of life? You can cure it.

Where to Buy Raw Food

If you live in a metropolitan area, chances are, there's a restaurant or health food store selling some raw vegan meals and snacks. No matter where you live, you can order anything you want online, from truly raw nuts to "Raweo" cookies. There are hundreds of great sites out there, but the ones I use are:

• Raw Vegan Source - Hands down, my favorite place to by raw food. You pay a very small membership fee and you get the best prices on the net on most items.
• Sunfood Nutrition - If it's out there, Sunfood Nutrition probably has it. This is David Wolfe's company - a popular raw food expert speaker. This site has tons of whole raw foods, specialty raw treats, and lots of books, events, and other resources.
• Ebay - search for raw food - You'll be surprised at what you'll find. I bought organic raw vanilla beans there once for a fraction of the normal cost. Don't assume it's cheaper just because it's on ebay. Do your homework first.

Been Thinking About Going Raw?

Stop thinking and just do it. You don't have to go 100% raw all at once. Add whatever raw food you can to your diet. Go at your own pace. But keep moving forward. There is no time like now to improve your health and add to your life the joy that comes with a clean, efficient, healthy body. Your excuses aren't making you any thinner, healthier, younger, or happier.
