Raw diet and strength training?

I've finally made the decision to give a 90% raw diet a chance. I don't necessarily plan on doing it long term, my plan is to do it for 2 weeks. I have a potential meal plan set up from recipes I got from "Raw Food Detox Diet" and I'll be going to the farmer's market this weekend to stock up. :)



My biggest concern is that I'm in a pretty serious strength training program so I'm looking for anyone who has made a transition with regular strength training/exercises. The book has lots of good info but it's not geared towards athletes. I will probably eat fish once or twice a week, other than that i will be flesh and lactose free. I do have a trainer and I'm going to consult with her but she isn't that familiar with raw diets.Raw diet and strength training?
The key to maintaining your physique or to tone even more during strength training is to make sure your calories and protein remain the same as you're eating now. On a raw vegan diet, you can eat raw nuts, seeds, and sprouts for an extra protein boost. To up your calorie intake, you can add avocado or other healthy oils. For an after workout smoothie, make a smoothie with homemade cashew or almond milk and your favorite vegetables and fruits.

I haven't upped my raw intake by that much, but others have. I offer a few links:
