Hey Freelee and DR:
I found you guys on YouTube after being vegetarian for 8 years and vegan for 3 months. As a vegan, was feeling a bit better than being vegetarian, but I didn't get rid of my cravings for animal products and had very little energy until I found the high carb raw and cooked vegan lifestyle. It has been only a month and I am seeing very slight changes already.
I used to live in a house with five people, and only myself and one other roommate was vegan. I recently switched house to a two-person apartment and I have no vegan friend in the house for support and am living with someone who eats a lot of meat and animal products. I am strong enough to stay at least vegetarian, but found myself tempted occasionally by chocolates or cheeses (and giving into those cravings).
I definitely want to stay high carb cooked vegan for the rest of my life at the very least! I really want to be more raw, and as of now, I am averaging one raw fruit meal a day and trying to get one raw meal and one raw snack a day. I am also eating the same fruits and high carb cooked vegan meals and would like inspiration on recipes, as well as a community to talk to and listen to while living as a somewhat isolated vegan. My best two friends are vegetarian, but even still, I feel a bit isolated.
I am also curious about the other aspects of being a high carb vegan, such as the health and hygiene routine, how to be social and vegan, etc. One month is a short time for high carb raw and cooked vegan, but I feel that what little I do know is that I want to do this lifestyle, that this lifestyle is sustainable, and after a month, I have developed some fruity habits I want to keep/nurture.
I thank you for your consideration and I hope I can be a member of this community. :)

Are you Connected?
yes i am
My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are...
I love to swim, do yoga, hike, bike, and walk around whenever I can. As for books, I will admit forthright that I want to read more about the high carb raw vegan lifestyle, as I am not well researched (but as an electrical engineer, I do read a lot of science articles, but I do not think that is the question at hand).
Please list your website/blog/facebook/myspace etc
