There are few questions that were asked my many and I would like to address it for everyone...
Questions on the Raw Vegan Diet:
PS: Im not a dietitianIm just another regular person like anyone of you Iv tried to answer the
questions in the best way possible based on my experience over the last year, but I would encourage
everyone to google and research further when your doing the diet
PS: Again, please dont mind the length of this post
1. CAN I HAVE DAIRY PRODUCTS LIKE MILK, CURD, ETC.? HOW DO I GET MY DAILY CALCIUM
NEEDS? WHAT ABOUT ALL OTHER VITAMINS OUR BODY NEEDS? IS THIS DIET SAFE?
Since vegan is a complete plant based diet its best to avoid dairy altogether during the entire detox
period like milk, curd, paneer, butter, cheese, etc... Once your done with the detox you can go back
to consuming dairy as usual.
But till then all your calcium needs will easily be met with the green leaves/veggies and what I call
The Calcium Super Food CHIA SEED. Chia is an EXCELLENT source of calcium and
magnesium If you have kids who are lactose intolerant this seed is the best source of calcium for
them too.
Infact Vegan diet gives a balanced supply of all the vitamins and mineral our body needs. So its a
very safe and healthy way to get back inshape unlike crash diets.
VERY IMPORTANT POINT Please try and get atleast 10-15 minutes of direct sunlight everyday
(preferably between 9-12 noon) for your vitamin D requirement which will also help your body to
properly absorb calcium and all the nutrition from the food.
2. CAN I DO THIS DIET WHILE BREASTFEEDING? WILL MY MILK FLOW REDUCE?
I found this diet after I had stopped breastfeeding so I dont have direct experience. But Im sure that
the nutrition you will pass to the baby through the milk while on the diet will be extremely beneficial.
Do get ORGANIC SEEDS , NUTS AND PULSES for your diet Also do have organic dates
everyday.the leaves/fruits/veggies can be washed in the vinegar and baking soda solution even if
they are not organic
For all breast feeding moms I would suggest you take the diet one step at a time You can start off
the first week with the green juice in the morning and by snacking on seeds, nuts and fruits during
the day with regular food for lunch and dinner. After a week you can then introduce salad and pulses
(1 cup of pulse since your nursing) for dinner and then gradually move to the diet at a comfortable
pace. Keep a check on the milk flow during the whole time If you feel that you are not comfortable
with raw vegan diet while breastfeeding then wait it out till you stop breastfeeding.
But please do not stop breastfeeding inorder to start the diet. Breast milk is the most important thing
any mom can give her baby apart from her love.
3. CAN I HAVE TEA OR COFFEE WHILE ON DIET?
Its best not to have tea or coffee during the detox period. I would highly recommend Green Tea with
Honey and Lemon once or twice a day because its very effective in weight loss.
4. IM ON SUGAR/BP/CHOLESTROL/THYROID/PCOD MEDICATION. CAN I DO THE DIET?
Yes, this detox diet will help you reduce each of the above ailments and get you back to good health.
I would suggest taking it step by step because there is medication involved You can start off the
first week with the green juice in the morning and by snacking on seeds, nuts and fruits during the
day along with apple cider vinegar and regular food for lunch and dinner. After a week you can then
introduce salad and pulses for dinner and then move to the diet completely at a comfortable pace.
However, please please do check with the doctor after a week or two into the diet if the
medicine/dosage needs to be reduced based on the test results. For example, its not safe to still
continue taking a high dose sugar medication once the sugar level starts dropping down to normal.
Nor is glucophage required by a PCOD girl once her periods are back to normal.
5. HOW LONG DO I NEED TO DETOX FOR? WHAT DO I DO AFTER THE DETOX TO MAINTAIN
MYSELF? HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO LOSE 1-2 KGS EACH MONTH AFTER GETTING BACK TO
REGULAR FOOD?
I would suggest a minimum of one month for the diet to show its effects. But its completely upto you
on how long you would like to continue it you could continue it for 2-3 months if there is any
occasion coming up, you could do it till u reach your ideal weight or even decide to do it for life.
If you choose to get back to regular food, what I had done was mix the diet with my regular food. I
would have the morning green juice or salad atleast 3-4 times a week along with regular food and
went for walks whenever possible.
One of the biggest thing that helps you to lose weight in a steady pace is that the portion size will
reduce most of the time the problem we face is because of the portion size we consume in one
go.. this diet is about eating a healthy portion through the day
6. I LOVE TO GYM. CAN I DO THIS DIET WHILE I STILL CONTINUE TO GYM? / YOU
MENTIONED HOUR WALK EVERYDAY CAN I DO ANY OTHER FORM OF EXERCISE?
Yes you can. I havent researched a lot about VEGAN BODY BUILDERS.. but yes they do exist and
yes these girls/guys do look hot! I would suggest researching into it. My only input would be to
increase the quantity of cooked pulses because they are a great source of protein. This is a site
worth looking at www.veganbodybuilding.com.
I have mentioned hour walk because walking is one of the best exercise next to yoga and some
minimal form of exercise is good during detox But u can do any other forms of exercise too and it
will help greatly.
7. WILL I EXPERIENCE TIREDNESS AND FATIGUE AFTER STARTING THE DIET? THERE ARE
NO CARBS LIKE RICE AND BREAD DURING THE DETOX PERIOD.
Few could experience body pain in the first 1-2 days of the diet because the detox will start flushing
toxins out of the blood and help improve blood circulation. If you still feel tired increase the quantity of
nuts and also consume dates everyday. There is no consumption of breads/rotis, rice and pasta
during detox. You can receive your carbs from bananas, beans and lentils... But trust me, after a
point youll have no idea what to do with the sudden increase in energy level youll experience so
please be ready to handle yourself! smile emoticon
8. THE GREEN JUICE IS DIFFICULT TO DRINK BECAUSE OF ITS TASTE. CAN I IMPROVE IT?
Hahahaha! I know exaaaactly what you mean. I remember sitting and staring at my very first glass of
green juice wondering what to do with it! But don't worry, it will be a little difficult at first and as the
days go by it will become a lot easier to drink. Adding any fruit like apple, grapes, kiwi, blueberries or
others will help make it a little sweeter and better. The juice once blend will look like a thick
smoothie... You can add or remove any green leaf of your choice to this if youd like to. But make
sure you have coriander leaf along with cucumber, tomato, ginger, garlic and lemon juice in every
juice because its super amazing for a total detox!
9. CAN I ADD SALT TO THE JUICE OR SALAD?
Its best to keep salt at the minimum during the detox period You could add a pinch of salt in the
salad but I wouldnt recommend salt in the morning juice. What I did was have salted nuts to balance
my salt needs for the day.
However, if you have low BP please do go ahead and add salt as needed in the juice and salads too.
10. DO I NEED TO FOLLOW THE SAME DIET PLAN EVERYDAY?
No, the plan iv posted above is just a guideline to get you started. You can find many more recipes
online if you google RAW VEGAN RECEPIES for salads and juices. As long as it is raw and of
healthy ingredients it can definitely be incorporated to the diet.
The websites http://www.thisrawsomeveganlife.com/p/raw-food-basics.html
and http://www.fullyraw.com/ are really worth a look not only for recipes but also to get a complete
picture about the raw vegan diet.
11. HOW MUCH NUTS, SEEDS AND FRUITS CAN I CONSUME IN A DAY? HOW SHOULD I EAT
THE SEEDS? CAN I EAT SEEDS APART FROM THE ONES MENTIONED IN THE PLAN?
You can have two handful of mixed nuts and about 2 table spoons of mixed seeds a day. Fruits are
practically unlimited unless you have a high sugar problem. Even high carb fruits like banana,
mangos, etc. are good to have.
There is a lot of information on the net about how healthy seeds are for us. So go ahead and add
any seed you would like to into the seeds mix. I ate the mixed seeds as it is but Ive read that you
could also add it into juices as well.
Its best to eat the seeds raw without any roasting or heating because the nutrition level will reduce to
a great extent once the seeds are cooked. I used to eat it as it is just like eating nuts.
12. WHAT DO I NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM DURING DETOX?
Please please please stay away from alcohol, cigarettes, fast food, aerated drinks/soft drinks (even
the zero cal ones) during the detox period and as much as possible after the detox too. During detox
the body will flush out toxins from the body and will start absorbing all the nutrition from your food
and having any of the above will suddenly effect the body in a highly negative way.
13. IM A CHOCOLATE ADDICT. HOW DO I DO THIS WITHOUT CHOCOLATE EVERYDAY?
There is extremely good news for every chocoholics out there! Raw cocoa powder is an extremely
healthy ingredient for our body. Its only when its processed with sugar to make the commercial
chocolates that it becomes unhealthy.
There are many HEAVENLY RAW VEGAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE recipes on the net with
ingredients like cocoa powder, dates, nuts, rasins, coconut powder, a dash of orange juice, cinnamon
powder, etc. Its insane! And you can eat it with zero guilt!!
I guess I was able to cover most of the points. So this is once again, Cheeeeeers to a younger,
sexier and healthier you!!!
