Date: November 09, 2007 05:42PM Hi.....I have just started my raw food journey.......having been an almost vegan for most of my life.........however..after a week.......I feel I cannot face another nut....or another grated raw salad..........I need something filling.....that is easily prepared...........Im beginning to yearn for wholewheat pasta or mashed potatoes.............I can do raw...all day long..but it is the evening meal that is a problem.........two salads in one day is sooooooooo boring........
I am studying all sorts of great raw food recipes......but the last thing I want to do at night is get a book out and try to figure something out for dinner.......Having said all that..I feel better..have loads more energy...feel slimmer as well...........so will keep going..... Hope someone out there can give me some ideas to keep me on the straight and narrow.....Linda Re: hello from Ireland

Date: November 09, 2007 05:54PM eating lots of fruits has cut down my cravings!!!
some people go by the 5-5-5 rule. One meal should be no more than $5.00, 5 or less ingredients and takes 5 minutes to make.  Re: hello from Ireland

Date: November 09, 2007 06:54PM I like raw soups. There are a lot of varieties. I like to spice things up with stuffed peppers (anahiem are good). Have you tried marinating greens? Stuffed mushrooms are good. Sometimes we eat smoothies for dinner. It is like breakfast for dinner. This is really great [www.fromsadtoraw.com] .
There are a lot of good ideas on that site. Good luck!! Re: hello from Ireland

Date: November 09, 2007 07:19PM The craving for cooked starches comes from not eating enough carbohydrates. On the raw diet, raw carbohydrates comes from fresh sweet fruit. Try eating all fruit for breakfast and lunch, making sure you get the number of calories you would normally eat on your cooked diet (you'll need to use a nutritional calculator like fitday, nutritiondata, nutridiary, or Cron-o-Meter to do this. If you eat as many carbohydrates from fruit as you were getting from your cooked starches, the craving for these starches will disappear. Re: hello from Ireland

Date: November 09, 2007 07:58PM Hello Bryan..thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my plight. I make a large mixed organic fruit salad each morning..and take this around 11.......then around 2 I have a wonderful supergreen drink............I find this is working better.......I just have to organize an easy evening meal that satisfies...Its early days yet...perhaps all this fruit will stop the craving. Take care..Linda Re: hello from Ireland
