for the last 6 months i want to be a high car low fat vegan, but my parents and even my dietician would not alowed me and here are some of my parents reason
1. carb makes you fat
2.sugar makes you fat
3. all those other people that do that must be doing exercise 24/7
4. we by the food wait till you old enough to get your own place
5. it cost lot of money
6. you being brainwashed
7. do what your dietician say she's the expert she study in these for over 12 years

okay 1st, yeah i did gain weight coz i try it for a month before my parents made m stop. i do cardio 5 days a week and weight training 6 days a week, im already vegan why cant i be high carb low fat vegan. even my dietician would allow me to do that. im 16 150cm (short for my age haha-4.9 foot) 55 kg.

Organic Cane Sugar?

2014-06-28T17:28:41.000Z

Hi, lately i've been struggling getting my calories in the day time. At night I will eat a high carb startch, but even then I don't reach 2500 cals. Lately i'e been adding Organic Cane Sugar in my banana smoothies for an easy way to add an extra 200 cals. Is this a good idea to add sugar to every banana smoothie? Will the packaged sugar cause long term weight gain or weigt loss? Thank you <3

Help :( 3 months in a considering going off this lifestyle

2014-05-21T14:13:58.000Z

Hi guys,

This is my first post on 30 bananas a day. I just feel at loss at what to do. I began eating vegan in February and slowly converted to 80/10/10 cooked vegan. I eliminated coffee, soda, salt, processed foods, and try to eat mostly pure simple foods.

However, I've found that I have almost reached my heaviest weight when I am eating the healthiest of my life. I even cut out drinking alcohol for one month and ran 3 times a week with no results.

I'm coming to you because I'm so confused. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the healthiest lifestyle, but I can never feel happy because I don't feel myself in my body. I don't want to restrict my calories because that is what led me to this lifestyle in the first place!

Here are my ideas for what I will do and please let me know which you think is best or what has worked for you:

Current plan I'm starting:

- Eliminate all non-homemade from scratch sauces and condiments.

- Eliminate totally all non-fresh foods/GMOs/Processed crackers, chips, granola, cereal

- Eliminate salt

- Eat smaller portions, don't eat until stuffed/full (for cooked foods only)

- Eat only pure natural foods- steamed or roasted (no oil)

- Eat raw bfast and dinner with cooked lunch (I find that I am less hungry this way)

- No overt fats - (avocados/guac/hummus/chickpeas)

- Less white rice, less white potatoes. More cooked veggies and minimal sweet potatos & brown rice.

- No bread, pitas, pasta, etc.

- 1 alcoholic drink max when in social situations

- Always eat raw when possible

- Exercise 3x a week and train hard

- Stretch/yoga everyday

- Water!!!

No these are all things that I've been kinda doing all these 3 months, the only difference really will me sticking to it 100% and eating less calories.

Please let me know your thoughts and your experience with weight gain/loss!

mostly raw vegan

Less awkward

2014-02-16T16:39:15.000Z

Does anyone who has come to a high carb low fat vegan diet from and average vegan diet feel that, despite cutting out even more food, that this is so much less awkward than before?

When staying at my friends' uni house in Leeds I found it very difficult to find decent food as there was just a Sainsburys local and a CO-OP nearby. I'd end up with a jar of peanut butter, a small packet of fruit (too much sugar was a definite no for me back then,) some crackers, maybe some microwave rice (I'd only eat half the packet mind) or some salty tomato soup. I'd always take a few scoops of my pea protein shake too.

Now that fruit is my dietary staple though, it's easy to eat anywhere! I don't have any concerns about going abroad or anything as I'm always going to be able to get a hold of fruit, rice and potatoes; even in a lot of restaurants.

So yeah, I'd probably conclude that if you're going to go vegan, then restricting calories/ carbs and worrying too much about protein is what makes it awkward. Eat like an actual herbivore and you're good to go! Relying on tofu/ other soy based meat substitutes, is going to cast you out.

How do you cook things that stick to the pan without butter or oil?

2014-02-09T22:16:37.000Z

I have been vegan for like 10 months so i wouldnt consume butter bleck or oil cause its not healthy. That being said, if I have a vegan pancake mix and substitute apple sauce for oil, rice milk for milk on the directions and egg replacer for egg, i can make a tasty pancake. However most of the time, it ends up sticking to the pan and making a mess. I have cheap ass pans. Anyone have any secrets to keep stuff from not sticking without adding unnecessary fat stores to my body?

Rice makes me feel anxious and slightly depressed!

2014-01-17T08:32:55.000Z

Been on the HCV lifestyle for a few months now, and it's incredible how responsive your body becomes. I've eaten rice all my life, and after transitioning to this lifestyle I cut it out, along with other cooked foods, for the first month entirely. Did awesome. Now 2 weeks ago I ate a bowl of rice for the first time in a while, and the morning after I woke up feeling down, and even angsty about pure nonsense, my thoughts were racing like crazy. I thought then if maybe the rice caused this? but I stopped thinking about it until yesterday when I had an urge to have rice so I did, and bam, the today I felt the same way I did 2 weeks ago. What. The. Fruit.

I don't ever feel like that since doing 811 so I'm very surprised rice makes me feel that way!

I've had problems with depression and anxiety in the past and I would've never thought one of the culprits could be the rice. Maybe there are other causes I'm not aware of, but these symptoms are DEF noticeable after I eat rice.

It made me wonder... does anyone feel similarly? Or has anyone got any cooked food in particular that gives you anxiety or depression symptoms?

Cooked and Raw

2014-01-16T18:35:09.000Z

Hello, friends. So, because I am a college student, I cannot afford to eat fruit all of the time (several thousand dollars in the minus, lol). My staples do include bananas, rice, corn noodles, rice noodles, A LOT OF RICE, more rice, rice, rice, and rice. Now, my usual meals of the day look like this:

breakfast: smoothie with 7 bananas and 7 dates

Now, for lunch, it really alternates based on my money. I either eat half a rice cooker amount of rice with veggies (which may or may not include half an avocado), the same thing I ate for breakfast, or some combination of 4 apples and 5 bananas blended up with 3 dates.

Dinner: half a rice cooker amount of pasta (usually corn), 6 large red potatoes, or half a rice cooker amount of rice with vegetables.

Snacks: I usually guiltily eat at 7 again because my dinner is usually at 5. Probs 2 or 3 bananas or a cup of rice.

*for rice cooker, think of the medium standard Zojirushi rice cooker

Is this too much? I am 19 years old, 64 inches, and I usually do about 30 minutes of body-weight exercises a day, followed with about 10 minutes of stretching (because I fall asleep much better if I do). Some fellow high carb vegans told me that I am doing the most, and that I am defeating the purpose of this lifestyle. :( They said high carb cooked and raw at times don't mix. I definitely don't mix bananas and rice in one meal, but I do eat them as separate meals.

Chrono said I eat about 3100 calories a day. >.< GEEEZ.

Potatoes - steamed or baked?

2013-08-21T17:58:37.000Z

I am at the moment in the transition stage from vegan to HCLFRV. I eat 80% raw six days a week, which in this case means I eat one cooked vegan meal a day. 1 day out of the week I am eating 100% raw.

Sweet potatoes are a staple for my HCCV meals, and I was wondering, which is better? Should I steam them or bake them? Also, how do you properly steam potatoes?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks! :)

Who wants to do a 30 day challenge here?

2012-06-24T13:00:54.000Z

As Freelee is doing a 30 day 100% raw food challenge on facebook https://www.facebook.com/events/460113217334258/ starting tomorrow on 25th of june...i was thinking if anybody wants to do a 30 day HIGH CARB HIGH RAW VEGAN challenge here?

Fruit for breakfast and lunch and then low fat cooked vegan meal for dinner with a salad preferably. No oils, no condiments or salt. And we can all log our 30 day food intake, water, exercise here.

It would be something like this:'

Breakfast: 1/2 watermelon

Lunch: 8 banana, 4 date, spinach smoothie

Dinner: 1 liter of OJ, green salad with veggies + cooked sweet potato and corn

Calories: 3000

Water: 3 liters

Sleep: 9 hrs

Exercise: jogging 30 mins

Thoughts: ...

I personally am not ready for 100% raw challenge, but i need some kinda support group or challenge to keep me on my goal - being et least 80% raw and having a healthy cooked vegan dinner. Im gonna start tomorrow anyway, if somebody wants to join, we can log our daily food, exercise here :)

My husband's story may be helpful.

He eats a high carb, low fat, cooked vegan diet that's high raw and he's inspired many people to make better food choices.
