Yes, I'm sure you can, but a raw vegan diet is not for me, I like my cooked meals too much. My wife is mostly a raw vegan and a few people we know are, mostly women actually. There doesn't seem to be any great health benefit but what raw vegans often report is increased energy levels, sometimes to a troublesome degree. One particular friend of ours just didn't know what to do with the extra energy she said she had. In the end she had to compromise by making only half her diet vegan as her sleeplessness and anxiety were going through the roof!Do you think you can get all necessary nutrients on raw vegan diet?
Yes you can. but I don't recommend a fully raw vegan diet.Do you think you can get all necessary nutrients on raw vegan diet?
Yikes, I have sleep issues as it is, so that's interesting to know.Yes, I'm sure you can, but a raw vegan diet is not for me, I like my cooked meals too much.

No, you'll end up sleepless and hyperactive! Lol.Yikes, I have sleep issues as it is, so that's interesting to know.
I don't think I could go full raw vegan. I love my veggies and salads and other raw foods, but I enjoy cooked meals too much to give them up completely. I could easily do two meals a day raw if I really wanted to, and some days it does work out that way. But I don't think I could sustain it all the time.
Nah. after your 3 hour workout to burn off the extra calories - you will be exhausted and sleep like a log.No, you'll end up sleepless and hyperactive! Lol.

A raw Vegan diet is certainly not for everyone. However, I do disagree with much of what you stated. What you said about ego and feeling like a superman is particularly strange and Very judgemental. These kind of things sound more like the kind of things that people who are against any kind of Veganism say. A friend of mine is over 65 has been a raw Vegan for many years now and doesn’t cheat is in excellent health and is not “rich”. Being a raw Vegan is a choice and if it works for some people why would you condemn it? Your post just sounded Very harsh to me...I think the beliefs motivating people to eat raw diets are antithetical to basic medical knowledge known for centuries.
I think it is an elitist diet, as to do it "right" requires access to a lot of expensive foods and equipment that most people do not have.
I think people can get better nutrition at much less the cost by eating a vegan diet of whole grains, legumes, seeds,nuts, vegetables and fruit.
I think many raw foodists cheat and they are tempted to cheat by nutritional deficiencies.
I think many raw foodists are motivated by their egos and psychological issues rather than health. A few years ago a psychologist coined a term for it. "Orthorexic". It is about using a diet to make yourself feel special, like a superman.
