I sprouted my first lentils and they are delicious.
I snacked a few to see what they tasted like, then I put a handful in my smoothie today.
Anyone have suggestions for Lentil sprouts?

My move to "raw" and my move to "vegan" are simultaneous. Discussions like this help me out as I learn to "live my beliefs".
I have many problems with our food chain...and treatment of animals is a problem. But so are the living conditions of migrant workers who provide our fruits and vegetables. I became aware of this when I lived in Homestead, FL about 10 year

Pampam,
Thanks for stopping by my journal and encouraging me. I love how I feel on raw, so I don't know why I go off into oblivion like that...?!?
But I am here, I'm making smoothies, I'm sprouting, I'm giving up smoking.
I can and will make these changes.
You will too!

Doing well with RAW...eating 50-75% raw...Lots of smoothies.
Today's Smoothie made with 1 banana, strawberries, 1 pear, celery, sprouted lentils..tastes "earthy" and good.
Raw foods are really hitting the spot for me right now...in a big way. Mostly cooked foods are coffee, tea, or soup (trying to stay warm)
Detox symptoms include: Cold symptoms (cough, runny nose, sneezing),

Yesterday I had my first all-RAW day in forever. No coffee or even tea yesterday.
Bananas and Oranges for Breakfast
Green smoothie for lunch
Oranges for snack
Salad w/homemade fresh guacamole for dinner.
If it wasn't for my morning cigarette......
Anyway, today will not be completely raw as I needed caffeine of some kind this morning to get going (hot tea).

Thanks Pampam for the encouragement.
I have been eating more fresh fruits and veggies. Starting off each day with fruit or a green smoothie. But my evenings are erratic and full of non-raw over-eating. I've cut back to 1-2 cigarettes a day and am still drinking my coffee...but have cut back.
My first goal is to be off the cigs by this coming weekend (15/16). I know from experience that I

Wow....I totally went off the Raw Path and dived into "I don't care what I eat" land....YIKES!
Not only that, but I started smoking again too.....Yucko!
My goal right now...to introduce and increase living foods into my diet...I have so been eating CRAP...fast food, TV Dinners, etc.
I made my first green smoothie in at least a month this morning!
More later,

Why is it so hard to get started back up? I hung out with my friends this weekend and ended up eating SAD....a lot of pasta and sweets. I feel awful. I have plenty of healthy good stuff (fruits and veggies) at my apartment...??????
I feel so energetic when eating mostly raw and know this is a good way to lose weight, get healthier, etc. Yet when faced with a bowl of pasta or chocolates the

I'm back from my mom's..she had no internet access.
I ate as much raw as I could down there...they are having more financial problems then they let on. I made sure there was salad or fresh veggies/fruits at each meal, but was in no way "raw".
Back home though the first thing I did was stop at the grocery and stock up on raw food! More later,

Well...I pigged out on pasta. Since I'm not 100%, a little pasta would have been okay...but I ate way too much.
Getting right back on track this morning though!
More later or tomorrow--I have to get ready to catch a plane!

Congrats on the good news!
This was really timely for me as I was diagnosed as "pre-diabetic" this year. I just started my raw journey. My whole family has type 2 diabetes, and many other illnesses..we are all overweight. I will take your good news as a sign to me that I am on the right path :>

Well...No tomato and avocado salad last night...the avocado was bad and the tomatoes were breaking my tongue out.
Really craving fats last night...dipped raw green beans in cheese sauce. I'm trying to use up my cooked foods/non-vegan foods and not buy anymore. I feel so much better on the raw foods...it's amazing. I'm not committing to try 100% raw until after the holidays though, since I'm

Thanks optimist4life!
Today's Menu:
1/2 mug of coffee w/half-n-half and splenda--I spent the night at a friend's house where I stay frequently. She always makes us coffee first thing in the morning. I have been drinking hot tea in the mornings instead, but I started drinking it before I was fully awake. I have worked myself down to just decaf coffee and that only occasionally.

Looked so good for yesterday until......
last night I spent the night with a friend. I took over a bunch of bananas in case I got the munchies. Well, I did get the munchies--but the bananas weren't ripe. I tried to eat one and YUCK! Anyway I ended up munching a couple pieces of Christmas Chocolate and then making myself a peanut butter sandwich.
I thought I did so well planning....taking

An Intro:
I have been eating more raw the last 2 weeks...My days right now run from 60-100% raw. I have read 3 or 4 raw books and have been thinking about doing this for a long time now. I tried "going raw" about 3 years ago, but didn't stick with it. I've been regretting that for about 6 months and daring myself to "try again".
Next week I'm flying home to mom's for th

Hi all!
I've lurked around here off and on for at least a year. A couple weeks ago I decided to work on adding more raw foods to my diet. I discovered that I love to eat a lot of raw foods. Most days keeping myself above 60% raw isn't a problem. I can go a couple days 100% raw, but something cooked always seems to get me (or the cold gets to me). I haven't really gotten into raw "cuisi
