I am raw about 50% right now. I would like to up that % so I can lose more weight ( am currently aobut 65 lbs over what I need to be :O ) My problem is that I crave certain things at certain times and no raw alternative seems to satisfy the craving. I try to stay away from all the nut-based recipes in my raw food recipe books (and there are a TON of those recipes!!) Anyone have any suggestions?? I drink a 20-25 oz. green juice every morning, and sometimes in the evening also. It fills me up for a while so I don't eat much else, but when it wears off....well, you can imagine....

I am getting sort of depressed b/c I cannot seem to lose weight and I refuse to do anything drastic outside of diet/exercise(no Alli or Zantrex 3 for me)
So what do you all do when you get "cravings" for a Chipotle burrito, or cake or cookies? I DID figure out a good recipe for raw chocolate chip cookies, but I haven't got anything for raw pizza or burritos (GOOD ones, I mean.) I try to keep recipes simple, but that also boring, and spending 2 hours making raw, yet beautiful food is really not conducive to my schedule. I know I sound like an oxymoronic nut-bag, but I guess I feel frustrated and wonder what other people do to get over their food weaknesses while staying raw, healthy and low-fat. Thanks for your input.
