I have to be honest. When I first encountered a low fat raw vegan diet, I thought it was insane. I already figured raw food was for crazies, but an entire meal of fruit? Pardon my French, but what in the heck?
But it wasn’t the low fat part that bothered me. I had known for a long time the importance of eating a diet low in fat. It was this knowledge that actually helped me to steer clear of the high fat raw diet!
The problem I had was the amount of fruit that was recommended. And this is coming from someone who was eating 5-8 servings of fruit per day on a vegan diet. That’s certainly a lot compared to most people, even most vegans! (more…)
