Healthy foods that give you a buzz

Post Reply New Topic

A quick google search for "raw vegan restaurants uk" showed me that there are several, as well as social groups that hold monthly potlucks.
Or you can buy Juliano's book "RAW: the UNcookbook" from Amazon and attempt the recipes at home (they are quite intricate).
Be warned though: he is one of the strangest people I have EVER met (and that's saying a lot for San Francisco!)
If you are looking for a more mainstream/fine dining raw cookbook without the California vibe, there's one called RAW by Charlie Trotter and Roxanne Klein that is gorgeous.

Note that I do not practice or advocate a full-time raw vegan diet. But I do find it a tasty occasional treat. I cannot guarantee you'll feel the "buzz" but if you want to give it a try, make yourself a big salad or smoothie for dinner tonight, see how you feel.

Raw fruit, especially citrus fruits. That buzz is probably just elevated blood sugar, though.

Red wine is very heart healthy ... and it gives me a heck of a buzz about five nights a week.

heh

I must be lacking, somehow. I ate a completely vegan diet for an entire year, and I felt no different. Not one whit.

The argument is that a raw vegan diet, because none of the food is heated, that it contains more "enzymes" or "life force" or whatever, and that's where the energy buzz comes from.

Not that I am advocating a 100% raw diet for you or myself or anyone else, but that is the explanation I have heard.

Also I think it's natural that some people would respond more than others to changes in diet, some people have a strong constitution and can eat anything, others are sensitive to changes.

Some people do not feel the "buzz" from eating certain foods. I know a person who doesn't get a buzz from foods. When I told them about how I felt after eating what I was, they thought I was just having mood swings, because I felt happy and buzzed from what I ate.

BBQ gives me a great buzz
