cooked veggieburger and bread cravings

Date: November 25, 2008 12:43AM I have been fully raw for one week now (done it on and off the past year).
The cravings are hitting me terribly bad now. I can't stand dehydrated flax seed bread...the flax seeds feel slimy and gross when I chew them. And onion is too potent when dehydrated. Most substitute recipes I've seen for veggie burgers and bread contin these ingredients. I'm pregnant and MUST finish out my last month all raw. I know it's good for me. I made cooked food for others today,and it was unavoidable, that is what spawned this. Anyone else have tips for dealing with these cravings? GOOD recipes? Something unexpected to take my cravings away? Re: cooked veggieburger and bread cravings

Date: November 25, 2008 01:16AM You should probably do a raw green soup or something with greens, first.
And then if that doesn't help, nori with sprouts or some other seaweed and sprouts. Maybe use nutritional yeast or do a sublingual b12. Or do something festive and colorful (think lettuce and tomato on a veggieburger) and do a leaf lettuce wrap with pico de gallo, guacamole, yellow pepper, corn, zucchini, maybe even a cheese sauce. Not the best if you're into food combining or eating simply, but might help your craving. Sometimes it also helps to eat things with your hands, so wraps are good for that. Some days I just chop a pineapple up log-style and eat the logs with my hands because there's something satisfying about it. Or I'll just shove loads of sprouts in my mouth. Fun times! Most of all, enjoy life and your pregnancy. Re: cooked veggieburger and bread cravings

Date: November 25, 2008 05:34PM Try making sprouted buckwheat "bread". It doesn't taste flax-y even if some recipes use the flax seeds to bind it together. I'd also make a dehydrated veggie burger recipe and eliminate the onions. You can also take your favorite pate recipe and dehydrate it into patties. My mother can't eat onions so I've learned how to be resourceful in preparing dishes without using any, and the recipes will still stand up well without it.
You might also want to go in a totally different direction than burgers and make some dehydrated raw falafel balls with tahini sauce. Butternut squash crackers are a good sub for "bread" too. They don't use any flax, just veggies and pumpkin seeds. PEACE Re: cooked veggieburger and bread cravings

Date: November 25, 2008 06:00PM When I went all raw I joined a 30 day challenge (Aug 1, 07) and stopped eating any cooked foods. The ticket for me was to do mostly fresh made juices and some other fresh raw food. About 70% of my diet was juice for the first month. After that I started to bring in more fresh fruits and veggies knowing that I could go back to the mostly juice diet if I needed to but I didn't need to so I just moved on to a smorgasbord of fresh raw foods. I hope you find what works for you. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
