21-Day Vegan Raw Food Diet Plan: 75 Satisfying Recipes to Revitalize Your Body

Where do I start? There is so much I learned from this in the first week alone! I highly advise watching videos on YouTube concerning what to expect during the "detox" portion of this diet plan. It is no joke. Lethargy to the point you feel narcoleptic. I had to head straight home because I feared passing out. The headaches weren't the worst either. I thought it was lack of calories but it turned out being my body detoxing the previous chemicals that were pumped into my body for years. I slept for like 12 hrs the second day. Every day I woke up and ate, I felt energized like no other. It was like a system reboot! The negative side effects wore off by the fourth day. I never craved junk food and I thoroughly enjoyed all the nutritious food I was receiving. Money wise, it was a bit expensive. The first week I spent about $250. Most ingredients I found at the grocery store and others I bought off Amazon. Raw and not roasted are very important when selecting nuts. The almond milk was amazing to taste, see and make. It opened my eyes as to what we think is healthy when grocery shopping. The meal prep was a bit extensive and some days/nights took more than others. I lost about a pound a day and never went hungry. The recipes were great. Some I didn't care for and some I thoroughly enjoyed. Not something long term I could sustain for life but so thankful for this experience. You have to be super motivated to follow through for the full 3 week period.

This is a great book for beginners who are adapting to a raw vegan lifestyle. Also, it was very informative and easy to understand the recipes what it entails to prepare raw food cuisine. I really like the recipes and I'm looking forward to trying them all. This book will help me with transitioning to a mostly raw vegan and vegan lifestyle.

I followed the meal plan for about two weeks. I have been transitioning into veganism for a while and I felt most of the recipe ingredients were easy to find and on hand. When I didn’t have an ingredient, such as chlorophyll powder, I just left it out and the food tasted fine. I felt great following this diet.There were two issues with this book. The recipes made SO MUCH FOOD. I tried cutting recipes in half, and then later in half again. I tried not making the snacks and eating giant lunches. I tried eating lunch and dinner in two settings. But at the end of the day, I threw out a lot.The second issue was discovered when I stopped making the snacks. I found later on in the week a breakfast smoothie called for some left over batter of one of the snacks. No where in the snack was this mentioned, nor were there instructions to reserve part of the batter. I didn’t buy the ingredients for this snack because I had already planned to not eat it. It felt very frustrating.The whole book seemed like it was written and great on paper, but no one had actually followed the meal plan in the editing phase to find the issues. I do plan to buy a hard copy of this book and edit it myself to make it work for me. This diet plan made me feel the best, out of all the ones I’ve tried.

I really like the recipes, but most important to me is this book includes the calories in each meal. Not a lot of books do that, and it’s why I purchased this one. Very much appreciated!!

Great information and recipe ideas! I didn’t follow the diet plan, so cannot comment on that specifically.

I received a complimentary review copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. My thoughts and opinions are my own.This book claims to use "simple, everyday ingredients," but that's not necessarily true. I do not keep figs, alfalfa sprouts, beets, bok choy, cabbage, cauliflower, sea vegetables, brazil nuts, coconut, hazelnuts, pine nuts, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds - - the list continues - - on hand. It would also cost a fortune to just go out and buy everything I don't have. Also, while I may have some of the other items, I don't necessarily have them in their raw forms.I really wanted to like this book, and I looked forward to having "more energy, clear skin, better digestion", and being "completely satisfied," but that wasn't what happened. This book left me feeling frustrated (because I was always missing one or two key ingredients), stressed (because I really wanted to make it work), and lazy (because it wasn't worth the insane amount of time and effort).

I bought this for my aunt as a birthday present. She said it was the best vegan lasagna recipe she ever tried.

So-overall I like this book. Most of the recipes I tried are pretty good. However-the meal plan-I assumed that this was basically for one person-it is not. I spent $200 the first week in groceries. Ok-maybe a lot of it was the “basics” ( and I already had some of the stuff). But when I started prepping on Day zero-as it says-I actually should’ve started day -1. BUT it was WAY too much food. I feel like I wasted half of it because the recipes are 2-4 servings. You may eat a serving for dinner then lunch the next day-but what about the other 1-2 servings? Then o e day you’re soaking 2 cups of almonds and use 1/2 a cup in one recipe and it says to make almond milk with the rest. There were no directions on how to make almond milk. I guess I could Google it. Basically it’s a good guide book and the recipes so far after a week are tasty, but unless you’re a really big eater or are doing this for at least 2 people -it’s WAY too much food and 1/2 your produce will go bad. Look through the menu and pick a few recipes to make. Just my experience.

I love this book. I've never enjoyed raw food much but I got this book to help manage my autoimmune disease. It's definitely a lot of prep work, but the recipes are easy and super delicious! Personally, I wasn't a big fan of the dehydrated elements in the book (mostly optional), but the rest was great.Easy to follow, delicious and easy to get a hold of ingredients. It made 3 weeks of eating raw infinitely easier than I thought it would be and made it easier to commit to eating raw. It's definitely helped with my symptoms, dramatically!

I'm currently on a very strict diet for health reasons and each of the recipes I have tried so far is easy to do, taste even better than I expected (especially coming from someone that is not typically Vegan) and my body has already shown benefits from the tips and tricks in this book. I can't wait to try every recipe in this book. Highly recommended!

I was already vegan and interested in trying out raw, but didn’t really know where to start. This book gives a helpful introduction to a raw diet. It contains a three week meal plan with shopping lists and day by day instructions on what to prep etc. All the recipes I have tried so far have been delicious and I am excited to try more of them! I will definitely continue to incorporate some of this way of eating into my diet in future.

Ottimo libri se volete un'introduzione pratica al crudismo. La prima parte e' introduttiva e da' le info di base sui vantaggi di questo tipo di 'dieta'. segue una parte dedicata agli attrezzi (prevede anche un essiccatore, anche se molte delle ricette si possono fare senza). Interessante la sezione sui germogli ed i tempi di germogliazione.Il punto di forza di questo libro e' il piano settimanale per assicurare un equilibrio dei nutrienti, dalla mattina sino alla sera, Si tratta di un piano di tre settimane e le ricette variano (non sono sempre le stesse che vengono riciclate). Spiega passo passo cosa fare, cosa acquistare (lista della spesa settimanale inclusa).L'autrice e' una nutrizionista seria e non la solita bloggara improvvisata. Consiglio a chi e' principiante (per chi e' gia' avvezzo alla cucina raw molte delle info saranno ridondanti).

Love this book! Very informative and the recipes are delicious!
