Last summer life gave me the opportunity to try being a raw/vegan for a fortnight. It turned really great. I was able to get up every morning around 5 , go to the beach , do yoga and then swim and run for an overall of two and a half hours. I was even going for an evening street gym training most of the days ( too bad I injured my shoulder out of stupidity) .
My meals mostly consisted of salads like this ( it had some onion that is excluded from the picture.Sorry, onion) and fresh figs , and apples that I could pick myself straight from the tree.
Apart from that I would have a handful of soaked nuts or seeds and from time to time I would cook some lentils or beans for myself.
So when it comes to diets I would always go for variety - have a little of everything. If you still wander about experimenting with those new age , raw, vegan diets - go for it you wouldn't regret it.
I didn't edit the picture at all , except for the tag through paint :D .
Much love , Kala Ta :)
