The vegan diet Virpi was following was based on raw foods and no wholegrains.
Breakfast for her was just juice made from celery, cucumber, fennel, and parsley.
For lunch she would just have a leafy salad with some chickpeas and a sprinkle of seeds.

She goes on to say that, “some people need animal products for them to be healthy. No one diet is going to suit everyone.”
