Date: January 10, 2013 08:47PM Hello All,
I am very curious to know how raw each of you are, percentage-wise and how long have you been that percentage? And...if you wish to share, what all do you eat and in what percentages, approx.?? Would totally love to know that. I am 100% for 4 days. ha! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/10/2013 08:48PM by mindy66. Re: Very Curious - How RAW are you? and How long for?

Date: January 15, 2013 06:46PM Good morning! I just started my raw journey yesterday. I was vegan for many years and slowly transitioned back to meat/dairy/eggs over time. After feeling absolutely awful and gaining 15 pounds, I decided to go back. For the new year, I went one week vegetarian, then one week vegan, and now is my first week raw. I had an incredible first day, with a blackberry, strawberry, blueberry, banana, and almond milk smoothie for breakfast (about 25 oz total), a ton of grapes, and fajitas on lettuce (a whole pepper, a zucchini, 5 mushrooms) with lots of salsa for dinner.
I had the same smoothie for breakfast today, 2 apples, a spring mix salad with walnuts and blackberries for lunch, and zucchini pesto "sandwich" for dinner tonight. I'd like to stick to this 100% raw for as long as I can, but the goal is 2 weeks, then go back to vegan for a week, then raw for 2 weeks, and continue the cycle until I feel ready to commit for good. I already feel so much better, but I'm worried about things like eating out, craving coffee, and not getting all the nutrients I need. Regardless, I'm excited, and am confident I'll find answers to my questions Re: Very Curious - How RAW are you? and How long for?

Date: January 16, 2013 04:49AM 80%+, somewhere between 5-10 yrs. I guess I don't really count percentages but will indeed make exceptions for social occasions, etc. [fresherthanlife.com] Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/16/2013 04:52AM by fresherthanlife.

Date: January 16, 2013 07:07PM I've been 95% raw for 1 year and 8 months The only cooked food I eat is quinoa. I have about 1 qt of green smoothie for breakfast, raw salad for lunch, and quinoa salad for dinner. I'd say 70% of what I eat is fruit, 10% greens, 10% veggies, nuts, and seeds.
Absolutely love my diet, and wouldn't trade it for anything else. Re: Very Curious - How RAW are you? and How long for?
