thanks for popping in, everyone!
Guru_G, welcome! i'm so happy to hear that raw is working for you did you start a journal yet?
Elakti, thanks for the tip about not worrying a/b my weight right now. it's good to know it'll eventually settle where it should be. i have a lot of overprotecvtive friends/family members/even coworkers, so they are a little concerned!

hey sach! i wanted to tell you this (i bet you already know though!) there is a documentary coming out called raw for 30 days or something like that, i watched a trailer of it when i was watching those david wolf videos the other night. in it, they take a group of americans with diabetes who were told they'd have to take insulin, etc. for the rest of their lives, and put them on a raw diet for

hey starfruit! i have read your journal every now and then but i don't think i posted yet! i just wanted to say i'm so impressed by your fast. i would last maybe half a day...lol. sounds like you are doing well, don't let anyone tell you what's right for your body except you! you are the one who lives in that body, and you can best interpret its signals and needs.

hello hello!

noff, that's funny, i just posted in your journal about wanting to do 80-10-10. maybe when we both feel ready we could take it on together. i'm up for it whenever you are, i am finding it hard right now to eat very lit

i'm sorry you and sachelle are having the detox blues right now! but think of how great you'll feel when all those toxins are GONE from you for forever!!
congrats on fighting and winning against cooked food! raw food is always tastier and more satisfying anyway. cooked food is starting to look like that fake kiddie pretend food to me now, it's sort of amusing!

hey noff! congrats on almost being done with the schoolyear, what a great feeling to have the whole summer ahead of you!
i'm with you on leaning towards 80-10-10. i feel like i'm eating way too much fat, i eat lara bars and avos and tahini and olive oil...but i notice when i have days with pretty much only fruits and veggies i feel better. if you do get the book, let me know what you think

great job so far everyone! i love the enthusiasm all of us have. it's contagious on these boards
welcome brendajoyce, i'm glad you decided to jump right in! a lot of us are very new to raw foodism, i've only been 100% raw for less than a week. but if it feels right, it's never to soon to go for it.
elakti, i'm glad to see you here as well!

eeek! i just put my food for the day into fitday just for kicks, and it came to:
1401 calories
59 GRAMS OF FAT!!!!
224 g. carbs
6 g. protein
that is WAY WAY WAY too much fat!
ok...deep breaths...i feel like i'm just undoing all my progress though, b/c that can't be healthy, right? so i need to basically cut out all but maybe a teaspoon of olive oil in my dressing and maybe 1 T or so

hey sachelle and noff!
sach, i'm glad you're doing the 7 weeks 100% challenge, too! although i know you've been raw for a while. but it's still good to get more support, motivation and advice from others! it's great for me b/c, even though i don't want cooked food, it forces me to make absolute sure that everything i'm eating is 100% raw instead of just guessing.

sach, thanks for joining me in posting food yesterday! lol, i was a little overzealous! i just feel so great and am loving raw so much
khale, that's awesome that you're planning on checking your pH. i may pick up a pH kit too near the end of our 7 weeks just to see what mine is.
oh, and happy mother's day to any moms we have in the challenge!

hey rian, how's it going?
i know how hard it can be when eating out or eating with others. i'm lucky that my close friends really understand and support my raw food journey- most of them think it's really cool and tell me i'm looking better than ever. but still it's tough when there's not much you can eat on a menu or when you're out all day. i bring stuff with me- usually a couple apples

hey sachelle, mmm lettuce wraps are so good! i was surprised. you can make all sorts of "sandwich" type wraps that way and you won't even miss the bread!
i hope you had a great day today
my day was good. i ate too much fat (well, more fat than i wanted to eat) but i was still 100% raw. it's easy to just add in some avocado here, a handful of almonds there, and it adds up so f

khale, thanks for answering my live vs. raw foods question. so i guess all raw fruits and veggies are live then? awesome!
shaine, that's exciting that you're moving to LA! i've been here for about 3.5 months and i really like it. i haven't gotten anything but support from friends and colleagues here about my raw foods lifestyle, which is great. when i went vegan back in boston a lot of pe

i am excited for day one today
i have a question- what is the difference between raw foods and live foods? i was under the impression that live foods are only plants that have been sprouted, but then on a few other sites some articles referred to all raw foods as live. can someone clear this up for me? thanks!

this thread sounds wonderful! i think the support and accountability will be great for all of us. i'd love to be a part of it
i just began my raw journey about 3 weeks ago and have been 90-100% raw for almost 2 weeks. i feel more than ready to go 100% raw. i am thoroughly enjoying everything i eat and have very little desire for cooked foods. i'm also enjoying making my own raw dressings

hi and welcome! i'm glad you found this forum, it's really helpful and there are some very knowledgeable people on here! i'm going in my 3rd week of 75%+ raw, and my 2nd week of 90-100% raw, so i'm a beginner, too. feel free to ask questions and read other journals, you will learn so much!
how are you feeling on raw so far? congrats on the weight loss and the positive changes you've made

elakti, thanks for the advice on the book to read. i think i'll go to barnes & noble or borders tomorrow and just read there! i am broke, lol. i'm not too worried about fasting triggering any latent ED thoughts- i mean, i'll always have to be careful and i'll always have to deal with those thoughts, but my life is too valuable to me now (and too busy!) to go back to tha

Elakti, thank you so much for all of your encouragement! it's so nice to hear all of those things, especially when i feel like i should be doing "better." it reminds me that just being raw is something most people will never do, and i should appreciate how far i've come in a short time rather than striving for some sort of "perfection" in my eating that doesn't even exist.
