Does anyone do the rawfood juicing or more of a vegan diet.

I have been a vegetarian for more than 25 years but I do eat some eggs and dairy.  I recently considered transitioning to veganism but opted to start buying free range eggs and raw milk from a local farm instead and making my own Greek yogurt from the raw milk.  I like dairy products a lot and would also have some difficulty getting enough protein on a vegan diet.  It could be done, but I would get tired of all the beans I would have to eat.  Plus, some of the supplements I really need are not available in a vegan form, like the 50,000 IU D3 I take several times a week.

I would be miserable on a raw food diet.  I just love hot food.  And to do vegan and raw food would be so hard.  Without raw dairy, what could you eat?  Cold beans and soy milk?

I don't do a vegan diet, but I eat most of my protein from quinoa and beans
and lentils. I do eat some ground meats, but not every day. Meats just
don't do as well for me as beans and other things. I also cook with
some tofu and drink lactaid milk with my protein drink each day and eat
Kelly's awesome cheesecake greek yogurt nearly every day.  I don't
do juicing because now that I'm farther out, I get plenty of veggies
daily and I prefer them lightly steamed instead of raw or juiced.
I would not do well with the restriction of  a vegan diet, but I admire
those that can stick to it.
