Hello,
Your meal sounds lovely. I understand about being gung-ho and then slipping a bit. I too am very interested in wild foods and gardening. The garden in my church in many ways. PCOS is the acronym for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. As a syndrome, it has many symptoms like cysts on the ovaries, irregular/painful periods, acne, obesity, hirsutism. There is also a relationship to hype

I had a great 100% raw day. I am also going to try sprouting my quinoa or mung beans. It will be my first attempt.

3. Re: Reality
The lesson and discussion with my high school students (as opposed to my "high students" as I accidentally typed last night) went splendidly. Most of them enjoyed their meal. They come from a background where "fresh" is unknown and frozen and prepackaged foods are the norm, rather than the exception.

Breakfast: 2 eggs and 1 banana
Snack: Strawberries

4. Re: Reality
I am finding it easier to eat simply. I am quite satisfied with salads and fruit with a handful of nuts here and there. I used to feel like I had to be creative and make foods that resembled what I used to eat. The cold soups and desserts are nice now and again, but simple is wonderful. I am lucky to live in a place with decent vegetables and fruit most of the year. I have wanted to eat loca

I need to do this log. It is so easy with senior projects (advisor) and multiple boards that I am to let doing what is good for me go. One can't be good for others if one isn't good to one's self. My diet hasn't been the worst every, but certainly not as focused as it was initially. Last weekend I wasn't able to do my shopping at the farmers market and last week, my diet was not as I would li

Where to begin? I have maintained mostly raw this week. I did succumb and I ate a brownie. Funny thing is, it tasted good, but not as good as I remember. I have some interesting changes in my cycle this month as well. My menses was much shorter and much lighter than usual. I have been walking/gym a lot, but haven't been riding my bike as I just got it out of the shop. All in all I feel pret

I have been about 75% raw since February. I used to have very painful and heavy periods. My March menses there was no pain and my period was substantially lighter and shorter (3 days instead of 6). This month I had 2 days of a mucus like discharge and two days of a very light period. I was wondering the same. Is this "normal"? Fertility is not an issue for me now, but at 32 I'll n

Things have been quite taxing at work this week. I haven't had the urge to eat emotionally. I am glad that I haven't had cravings for too much. I find it strange that hasn't occurred. I don't eat 100% raw, but pretty close. The only problem I have had is not having enough produce in the house this week. I have eaten beans twice and tuna once due to poor planning (having to work exceptionall

So you had pizza! Who says the rest of the day isn't raw? Tomorrow's a new day. Don't beat yourself up.

So I went to the gym and weighed. I don't weigh every week because that could become an session with me. I started my "cleanse" and eating mostly raw on February 22. I weighed 260. Today, March 28, I weigh 232. I have always been active, the only change has been my diet. I am not 100% raw, but the 75% or so has made a difference.

Yesterday went well until the evening. I went raw all day until I had an unexpected family emergency when I ended up taking care of 3 kids while their mother was in the hospital. So, for dinner I ate a bean burrito and I had a scoop of real ice cream. Not going to beat myself up over it, but I did wake up with a wanging headache.

Rye bread was one of my faves. In the past month I have had it once for breakfast with a poached egg. Not 100% raw yet ;o) I am not sure if I will give up eggs always. The fog does lift though. I didn't have coffee for a month and then I did, boy did I regret it. My green drink in the morning does way more for me than the coffee ever did. I don't get the mid-morning/early afternoon crash l

Not posting too much these days. I hope to be back on track soon. I am eating about 80% raw. I have a bug of sorts, so I haven't been eating too much the past two days. No appetite and nausea seem to keep the desire at bay.

My nephew has come to stay with me for a few days. He is 13 and boy can can he eat. He has done well with my limited options-but seems to want a smoothie every few hours. He is looking forward to a family gathering we will be going to for dinner. I actually think he likes the access to so many fruits in my house. I think microwave and ramen noodles are his staples.

I am a firm believer in listening to your body. I haven't been raw for long, but I have a background with ear, nose, and throat issues (traditional speech and audiology training). If you are sick, I can't see the issue with drinking something warm...it will help in fact. One thing that is great (although it may sting just a tad) is water, lemon, ginger, and honey. Another great tea is "

I did well this week with the exception of today. I realized that if I do not balance my work life, I truly do not do what is healthful for me. I worked insanely long hours this week, about 14 hours per day. Today, I had to be at work at 6:30, so I found it "okay" to eat an egg and toast accompanied with coffee. I felt horrible not psychologically, but physically. Once at work, thi

I think I will still be participating, but I just learned today that the community garden I have been running will loose the land to development. Since I live in an apartment, not sure how many watermelons I will be planting. I will need to see when development begins. If it begins this summer, then alas, all of the transplants I have started will be donate to others and I will just have to en

So I drank a cup of coffee today and it was nice, but I don't think I will crave it. However, one thing I forgot to mention earlier was that before starting "raw" my blood pressure was prehypertensive to hypertensive on some days. After going "raw" for two weeks it dropped to 119/78. Well, I have eating a few non-raw meals this week. That coupled with the cup of joe and my

Saturday and Sundays seem my most difficult days to stay raw. A friend and I have a tradition of eating breakfast out. There aren't many restaurants in my city that even offer fruit for breakfast. Growing up living with a grandmother from the south, I was practically fed gravy right out of the womb-potatoes are my weakness.

Hi there! I am not from Sacramento, but I am from Stockton. I too just starting eating raw. I also am beginning from scratch. I have found some ways around the expensive equipment for now.
