This isn't working!
I have heard this numerous times when it comes to a High Raw Vegan diet (raw till 4). Those of you not familiar with this lifestyle, here's the deal:
-vegan
-raw fruit and veggies until 4pm
-cooked low fat, high carb dinner
-no coffee, alcohol, or other stimulants
-80 10 10 caloric/nutrient breakdown
-low fat, no oil, low sodium
-high calorie intake no restricting
-fitness
This lifestyle is one if the best ways to thrive, lose weight, and get healthy! Stories of healing on this diet can be found all over YouTube and the blogosphere! Everything from diabetes, Crohns, Eating Disorders, Migraines, to psoriasis! Testimonials can be found from those thriving and more active than ever with boundless amounts of energy!
So why is it not working for you? Well, I can't say 100%, because I have not seen your food journal or your activity level! but I am confident enough to guess!
1.You are not exercising! A healthy body requires movement, especially when you want to improve digestion and increase lean muscle!
2. You are still consuming oils and too many fats! This is HUGE! If you won't remove oil from your cooking, you will struggle with weight loss and high energy. Oil is pure fat, stripped of all fiber and nutrients! It has no place in the human diet! Give it up already! Too many avocados, or nuts are also going to slow down progress. Remember this is a high carb lifestyle not a high fat one!
3. Not eating enough! Another important part of the lifestyle is not to fall back into the trap of 'dieting'!! This is about providing the body with consistent fuel, all day long! Learning how to eat massive amounts of fruit and raw veggies can be difficult, be patient and focus on one meal at a time. Sit and relax, eat slowly, and taste every bite!
4. Eating out too often! Restauants do not cook low fat, low sodium food, or at least most don't! Restaurants use oils, sugar and salt! If you are eating out more than you are eating at home....you will struggle! If you have no choice but to eat out, keep it simple! Order things like steamed veggies, steamed rice, baked potatoes, roasted veggies, plain pasta with marinara sauce, or salads!
5. You are not eating a plant based vegan diet! Adding in foods like dairy, honey, or meat will interfere in your health and weight loss journey! There are so many vegan options out there, you really have no excuse!
Take a close look at your diet and see if YOU aren't doing the work! This lifestyle works, it works for thousands maybe even millions of people, who are following the guidelines! If you are not willing to be consistent and do the work, you can't expect to see results!
Here are some pages to check out for motivation!

Helping people is my passion and my approach to long term health is a low fat, high carb vegan lifestyle. I believe we must provide the body with the best plant food out there. I love to stay fit and enjoy all sorts of exercise, hula hooping being one of my favorites! I am a Certified Natural Health Practitioner and a Personal Trainer, I don't promote calorie restricting or over exercising. The body must be fueled and exercise should be a joy and not a chore.
