Yes! Karyn is a wonderful person with a warm spirit. You MUST visit Chicago to check out her three restaurant. The food is amazing! I was happy to know there are other African American Raw Foodusts out there. We all could use more support. Blessings!

Hi! I did find your site after searching for African American raw foodists. I am looking for like minded individuals and would love to be a part of a virtual or face to face group for support. I’ve been in and out of raw foodism for the past eight years and I’m ready to take the 100% plunge!

Comment on Day 2 – The Upcoming Storm… by Dea

Congrats,
eating raw is challenging, and you have to be strong mainly becuase we are bombarded by food options even healthy ones that have cooked or proteins. I eat a mostly raw diet and then when I do have cooked I try to make it very high quality, local, organic, thoughtfully made. It’s expensive but so worth it. One of the hardest things after the social aspect is eating enough calories, I tend to under eat and that is a trap, other than nuts and seeds and oils, most raw plant based food is very low in calories, good luck! Glad you are blogging about it.

I just mix a bunch of almonds and dates together with a little agave nectar and then put it in the fridge for about a day for breakfast bars… here are a few other recipes I’ve used in the past…

Thanks for the well wishes! When I’ve gone on raw food for only a few days, I can literally smell caffeine in drinks, and most of the green teas I’ve tried tend to have caffeine in them.
