How To Maintain A Healthy High Carbohydrate, Low Fat Raw  Vegan Lifestyle.




(The views expressed here are based solely on personal experience and research, and should not be taken as medical advice.)

What is the High Carbohydrate, Low Fat Raw Vegan Diet? Firstly, it is the most healing way to eat and thrive. Studies have shown that a high carbohydrate ( fresh fruits and vegetables with low fat protein and fat per centage intake), is the most healing for Diabetes, Heart Disease, Most Cancers and Autoimmune Disorders.  A high carbohydrate( approximatelyb80% or 90% of daily intake), Low Fat diet consists predominantly of fruits, the most optimal will consist of the hydrating fruits in higher per centage than others, the fat intake is quite often kept to a  10% maximum of ones daily consumption. The 10% is also held as the maximum, depending on the carbohydrate proportion.  The premise on which a high carbohydrate, low fat lifestyle is built is one whereby it is recognized that each cell in the body is fueled and nourished by glucose or glycogen,  both of which are derived directly from fresh fruits high in absorbable carbohydrates. When these fruits are live, in season and ripe, the conversion is one of the easiest possible to achieve. Fats on the other hand require more energy per gram to be converted to usable energy by the body and thus not recommended to be taken in high per centages.  Assuredly, healthy fats must be part of a healthy lifestyle, most optimal when taken in at 10% of one’s daily intake in terms of number of calories. In time, each person will ascertain if this per centage should be higher or lower than this amount. If one pays attention to these per centages along with the listed preferred foods, then it is felt that a healthy healing balance may be achieved. 

This way of eating excludes all animal flesh(meat) and secretions( milk, eggs etc.) and consists of plant foods in their original state.

The foods which make up the respective categories are as follows:

Carbohydrates:

Sweet Fruits: Bananas, mangoes, sapodillas melons, jackfruit, dragon fruit, plantains.

Sub Acid Fruits: Papayas, pomegranates, star fruits.

Non Sweet Fruits: Tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini.

Fats:

Fatty Fruits: Avocado, durian.

Other Sources of Live Plant Fats:

Nuts, seeds, legumes, sprouted beans, peas.

Protein:

Quinoa, oat groats, lentils, mung beans, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, mushrooms,

Acid Fruits: Citrus Family ~ Grapefruit, orange, ortanique, tangerine, lemons, pineapples, limes, strawberries


Incorporate the recommended foods in their respective per centages, gauge how you feel, adapt healthy lifestyle practices and enjoy!

Healthy & Flavorful Vegan Meals

Sometimes it can be helpful to meal prep for the week, especially if you are typically really busy. Here are some recipes that may be good for you if you want to make some good meals for yourself and your loved ones. One meal you could do is take some of the Gardein Chicken tenders and bake those. You can put them over some rice or shredded veggies with some seasoning. I usually put a lemon on the side to add some extra flavor. Another thing that I typically put lemon on is some fishless fillets by Gardein. I had this with some cauliflower rice with lemon and garlic to flavor it. I also decided to have some zucchini on the side for extra vegetables. Another meal I love making wraps with some tortilla chips. For this above, you can stuff a tortilla with cucumber, tomato, hummus, and any other veggies that could be added. This is a great meal that can be healthy but filling. I like to have tortilla chips and salsa on the side as well. The last one that I want to sha

With all of the greener lifestyles that are being adapted all around the world there are tons of questions about exactly what veganism is, and exactly how it pertains to animals. For the vast majority of people it is extremely important to realize that you simply cannot make a sudden change like shifting from eating burgers every day to living a successful vegan lifestyle overnight. However, it is also possible to make some substantial changes that are on the path to becoming vegan and showing animals the respect that you believe they deserve. Many people in the quest to treat animals better are appalled to learn that many countries use some rather unconventional animals as food; this for many people can be action that triggers their desire to change to a vegan lifestyle, however for others it is simply another reason in a long list of reasons. Many countries such as China make usage of animals such as dog for their meals and many times people are unhappy to learn this, how

Sometimes when you are in a pinch it can be a bit of a struggle to eat healthy. Sometimes you run out of produce when you are out and may have to settle for some packaged foods. There are some better options to reach for when you want to get a snack. There are definitely some good brands out there that I love getting for when I have a busy work day. Some of these snacks can be good for dipping in salsa or hummus, or any other dip. A lot of these snacks shown also have other flavors in that kind that are also really good to try out. I love all of the products I have tried by a brand called The Daily Crave so far. I love eating these as a snack with some hummus or you could find any other dip that may go well with this. I enjoy any sort of spread that can be eaten with this and you can also top it with some veggies as well. There are also some other really good flavors including tomato basil, barbeque, salt and vinegar, and sriracha. They have veggie, lentil, and quinoa ch
