it is very expensive to eat this way but i only want to eat what is best for myself and i do believe that anyone would benefit from this kind of diet. i don't even have to worry about fiber when i'm eating this way, or any nutrients to be honest. that is how it should be in any diet, you shouldn't be telling yourself you need to eat more of this and that to meet a requirement, you should be eating foods that will meet or exceed those requirements all the time. the problem with most conventional diets is that simple idea and the fact that most foods people eat are not "fresh" they have been processed and packaged in ways to make them last longer on the shelf. its not good for your body to eat so unnaturally. i feel if it doesn't occur naturally on its own, i don't need to have it. however i do not eat raw all of the time, perhaps someday i will when i have the money to afford the fresh food all the time. i am quite fortunate enough as it is to be able to afford to eat like i do now.
hello Zay.
breads are not grains. "breads" are the saddest excuse for what a grain is that i can possibly think of, especially "breads" made with bleached flour such as almost every type of bun, bread or pizza dough.
my choice to stop eating animal products was not merely ethical. i do not want to willingly poison myself with what ever the animal has been fed or subjected to as well. i also don't want to harm anything. if i don't have to kill any animals i am not going to do it or support it.
the fact that i am "vegan" is not why i feel my diet would be nutritionally superior. my diet IS nutritionally superior, and not just for MYSELF, because of the types of fats i mainly eat; monounsaturated and medium chain fatty acid saturated, the type of carbs i eat; vegetable carbohydrated and unrefined, usually raw grains, and the type of proteins i get, which is also from unrefined grains, but more often legumes and seeds such as hemp seed.
