hi earthangel, yes, you're right about the tofu, it's not good for your body of course. i just felt like i felt better eating it than dairy/animal products. maybe i'm not getting enough protein or something, or i am deficient in some other nutrient that contained in tofu? whatever. i've had tofu a couple of days in a row now, and i feel the craving has gotten weaker already. so, it's one of these

yes, i just hope i'm doing the right thing about 'listening' to my body. of course i can't be sure my body has really progressed so far as to know what's good for it. but tofu cravings are still better than cheese and wheat cravings, so..
(recently, i've also craved honey. who's ever heard of a honey craving, haha.)
earthangel, i think there are arguments for both transitioning slowly and no

hi earthangel, thank you for stopping by! hope you're doing fine, too!
well, tuesday and wednesday, i had large green smoothies for breakfast, cooked vegetables and brown rice for lunch, and then some major cravings + bingeings at night.
i think in theory veg and brown rice is really ok, it's just the amount i always eat. and also, afterwards i get this feeling that my body really doesn't ne

yeah, earthangel, you're right. i've had worse days. (and months. and years.).
so, it's not so bad.
well, the last two days in a nutshell:
sunday: raw except cooked dinner
monday: cooked only (but vegan/vegetarian, and mostly not-so-unhealthy stuff)
i know this is a food blog, but i just need to get this off my chest.

thanks for your words, earthangel!
well, yesterday i had a banana and almond smoothie for breakfast, and then i was so caught up in some last minute translation work that i forgot to eat and didn't notice how empty my stomach was getting, and then i ended up being really hungry, and also anxious (because of some other job-related stuff), so i had 2 whole-grain toast with cheese, and some more

hi, just stopping by to let you know i'm stil alive, haha.
i spent the last week in the countryside, so i didn't use the internet so often.
as always, easter holidays were all about traditional food (like meat and eggs..), so i just didn't want to disappoint anyone in my family..and i ate some meat.. but well, it's okay. i had less than in all the years before at easter, as my body really doesn

hi,
well, don't ever worry if i don't post anything for a couple of days. it often happens with me. sometimes i just don't feel like using the computer when i'm tired at night.. (and sometimes i don't feel like letting everyone know what crap i ate, haha.)

thanks for your comments, sachelle and taylor! i hope you're all doing good..
well, the last week i didn't eat all raw, but i managed to eat a fair amount of fruit and vegetables.

hi,
starfruit and sachelle, thank you for your support..yes, i guess just going all raw is the best for me to do right now..i will definitely try.
it's so annoying that the packaging of all my nut and seed butters doesn't say if they're raw or roasted. seeing as how raw ones taste equally good, why shouldn't i be having them instead.. so i'll definitely order some, and also raw chocolate, ne

just stopping by...but don't really want to list what i ate yesterday and today..let's just say it was junk. especially today. (just because of sleep deprivation, otherwise i would at least have started out on raw in the morning..)
but it's okay, i feel confident i'll start over again every time, and not give up.

hi taylor,
thanks for dropping in at my page!
seems you're doing fine!
raw crackers sounds so good, enjoy them..
you definitely made the right choice about not wanting the yo-yo thing, because of course its not just about weight, but about your overall health.
keep up the good work!

hi erdogan,
how are you doing?
i don't necessarily want to 'advertise' anything here, but the book "Green for Life" by Victoria Boutenko was an eye-opener to me, and maybe to many others, even people who had been raw foodists for a long time. It is about the importance of greens (as Tadey here just mentioned). It would be helpful to make sure you get enough information about green s

hi, that almond bread you made sounds really good! i don't have a dehydrator, but maybe someday..
well, it's still better to eat a bit too much raw 'junk' than cooked. (and cravings can be especially bad when you're on your period, i know). so you're doing great!

hey, thank you for your words. i don't know why i was feeling so down. i guess i was somewhat...emotionally unstable recently.
of course you might be right about transitioning slowly. it just didn't feel right to me, because i always was counting the hours until i could have something cooked. (erm, and i also had a lot more problems with digestion..). i felt so much better when i was all raw.
