I have gone through many different experiments trying to find the best way for me, and ultimately for everyone, if that is possible. I was just doing what I thought was best at the time. I wish health and happiness for everyone.
There have been its ups and downs though. Due to many days of eating little and fasting throughout the past year, I have felt the onset of deficiencies, lack of energy, depression, and further teeth and bone problems, as well as a spacey mental feeling. So while cooked diets have their cancers, diabetes, and other issues, raw diets can have their problems too if it's not done right. With so many different diets out there, it is hard to know what "the right way" is.
I still believe in the raw diet 100% and I want it to work for me long-term. The more the world changes, the more the raw vegan diet makes sense for us, the animals, and the planet. I just have to be smart about it from now on.
So I do vow to eat better in my raw diet and be smarter from now on.
Every day now includes greens in a green juice or green smoothie, as well as the occasional vegetable juice, and a variety of fruits. A few avocadoes each month, not each day. No nuts or seeds. Trying to eat more sweet fruit, more calories, and adding bananas or dates helps. Paying attention to ratios. Also supplementing B12.
I feel so much better now. I can finally breathe again and awake refreshed. I feel that euphoric and vibrant way I felt when I first started raw. Where I want to smile at everyone and love the world so much.
I just don't want all my health, happiness and identity to depend on being raw. I don't want to obsess. I just want to be me.
