Date: June 22, 2009 10:41AM Ok, i seem to do great all day til 4-4:30 then the cravings.I am at day 15 and still staying within the vegan boundries(eating only a few small redskin potatoes when I am jonesing) no prob. and about 85-90 raw. Now we went to the beach Sat. I was very prepared and ate 1/2 banana, a bag of grapes, a cup of blueberries, and a cantaloupe, for dinner a really big salad. I ate so much I felt over full, but I had no cravings.Yesterday I did not eat quite so much but then had cravings.So do I have to eat so much I feel stuffed to avoid the cravings?

jonesing ? The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary. [www.merriam-webster.com] Is this another way to say cooking ? Re: not sure what to do

Date: June 22, 2009 01:17PM Sorry EZ for giving a slang youd didn't understand(jonesing)what I was saying was that when I am really craving something and can't seem to satisfy I will have a few small boiled redskin potatoes. I just don't know what else to do, I hate to eat a whole lot of fruit too late in the day after dinner salad and I am still hungry. Re: not sure what to do

Date: June 22, 2009 01:24PM At the beginning of being raw through the first few months for some, you may require more food. Eventually that should taper off. The main reason for you having this issue is you're eating very light meals to begin with. Heavier meals usually help cut down on the need for food-such as smoothies, soups, wraps with avocado or pate, etc. Then later you can eat lighter foods.

Date: June 22, 2009 03:34PM Sounds like too much fruit to me.. Eat more vegs.. most especially greens.. less fruit.. too much sugar (even good fruit sugar) in your system will cause other problems over time. Re: not sure what to do

Date: June 22, 2009 10:03PM Well what are you craving? Chances are with a good recipe you can make an awesome raw replacement. Also I agree it sounds like you are eating way to much fruit. Instead try salads and other recipes with vegetables maybe add more seeds and nuts. You could even do some cooked whole grains. Re: not sure what to do

Date: June 24, 2009 12:57AM I think it is ok to stuff yourself of greens to feel full if that helps your cravings. They have VERY few calories. Actually I would eat as much fruit and veggies as I wanted to. That is the beauty of the raw food diet. Go easy on oil, nuts, dried fruits, dates etc. however. Check in with yourself periodically to see how you are feeling, adjust as needed. Good luck! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
