telling my parents i went raw

Posted by Beatriz Alvarez on May 14, 2013 at 2:24am

do you guys have any tips on how to tell my parents i am a raw vegan now? i made the change while in college and i am going home next week and they dont know about this change. i have a feeling they will be a bit worried when i tell them and wonder if i am getting all the nutrients i need and such. they will be worried bc they care about my health after all.

have u guys gone through this? do u have any tips on how to explain this to my parents?

thank u!

    thank u! i am in the same boat bc last time i was with my parents i was a meat eater and now i am a raw vegan and i think it will come as a shock. i have also only been a raw vegan for almost 2 months so is not like i have a lot of experience to explain everything about this lifestyle to them. hopefully they will se how well i am and accept it :]

    Just give it to them straight.  I basically told my parents I feel much better eating like this and it's hard for them to disagree.  Nothing digests more easily and gives you better energy than fruit.
