Frequently Asked Questions

A raw vegan diet is a 100% plant-based way of eating where food is not heated above approximately 48°C (118°F). It includes fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, sprouts, and cold-pressed oils — nothing cooked or processed.

Many people report improved energy, digestion, and skin health. It can be nutrient-dense, but requires careful planning to get enough protein, B12, iron, and omega-3s. Always consult a doctor or nutritionist before major diet changes.

Fruits (bananas, berries, mangoes), vegetables (leafy greens, carrots, beets), nuts & seeds (almonds, chia), sprouts, seaweeds, cold-pressed oils, and fermented foods (raw sauerkraut). Avoid anything cooked or animal-derived.

Nuts, seeds, sprouts, leafy greens, and spirulina/chlorella provide good amounts. Soaking nuts/seeds improves digestibility. Most people find they get sufficient protein once they eat enough volume.

ABC Juice is a simple detox drink: Apple + Beetroot + Carrot. It’s nutrient-rich, supports liver detox, and is easy to make daily. Many in the raw community drink it every morning.

A good blender (for smoothies) and/or juicer (for fresh juices) makes things much easier. A basic food processor and spiralizer are helpful but not essential at the beginning.

Many people do lose weight naturally due to high fiber, low calorie density, and no processed foods. Results vary — focus on nutrient density rather than calorie counting.

It can be very healthy when well-planned and supplemented (especially B12). Some people do 80–90% raw + some cooked food for balance. Listen to your body and get regular check-ups.

Local organic markets, health food stores, or online (Amazon, iHerb, Thrive Market). Look for organic when possible — especially for the “Dirty Dozen” produce.

Start by adding one raw meal a day (e.g., breakfast smoothie), then increase. Try “high-raw” (80% raw + 20% cooked) if 100% feels too strict.
