I am going to be starting a raw vegan diet for 2/3 meals a day and cut portions of cooked meals. I was wondering how long it takes to see results. I want to lose weight and become healthier.

Is a raw vegan diet healthful over a long period of time, especially with diabetes and high blood pressure? I am trying to switch to a raw vegan diet, but my dietitian insists it is not healthful. Has anybody here tried it long-term, or know anybody who has? I’m wanting to lose a lot of weight, and I’ve been making a lot of salads, with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, green bell peppers, celery, onions, carrots … and then I pour on a bunch of vinegar and lemon juice. It’s tasty, nutritious, and very low-calorie. It seems to be working for me, but my dietitian isn’t happy. And I didn’t even tell you what my primary care physician thinks about my decision to quit all my diabetes and blood pressure medications and just rely on a raw vegan diet instead of the meds … except that I’m going to have to find another primary care physician.

I heard that vegans stay naturally thin without counting calories because they dont have lots of tokins or bad foods (cause most non animal product foods are healthy).
So, if Im trying to loose weight on a vegan diet, do I really need to count calories? (If so, how many should I have daily?)
Thanks :]
PS) *Im not going vegan strictly too loose weight, Im going for animal rights and general health reasons, weight loss is just an added bonus!

I have a niece who is on a vegan diet and she has stopped menstruating. I told her that it was her vegan diet and that she needed to see a doctor. She has also become very anemic. Is the damage she is doing to her body irreversible?

I am trying to find a vegan/raw food diet that provides all of the essential amino acids, 40-50 grams of protein, the majority of vitamins and minerals, without the use of soy since it has been proven to contain dangerous substances. Please advise.

I have the option to go to either Sweden or France as an exchange student. My only minor setback is my vegan diet. Which country (or a host family) could better suit my diet. Depending on grocery stores and things of that nature.

I’ve been an omnivore most of my life but am considering the vegan diet after finding out how good it is for your health. I’ve started it already, but I’m already missing salt on my food or having dairy. Anybody else gone through this? What do you think of the vegan approach to eating?
