hey sweetie! exams are so stressful- i don't think anyone could eat healthy during exams, so at least you are still getting in lots of raw foods. after they're over, you will be able to focus more on going for 100%. it will get a lot easier! just take your time and listen to your body and what it wants. it will tell you when it's ready!
i totally agree with you in regard to getting all of

hey sachelle! whew, i am glad there is someone who knows her stuff and can tell me if i'm really eating all raw or not!
how about the other kind of organic food bars- for instance i bought 2 of the protein variety organic food bars today b/c whole foods was out of choc. coconut lara bars so...they say they are 90% raw and this is what is in them:

aww, thanks sach! that does make me feel better.
i've also been losing weight (i'm at 106 right now at 5'3) so i think my body was just asking for denser foods yesterday, even if my stomach wasn't happy about it! i was hungry for everything i ate and i still didn't eat past 1600 calories, so it's nothing to worry about.
today was lovely. my boss needed me to pick up some things on rodeo

my stomach is not feeling so great right now
i ate 100% raw today but i ate way too much fat. or at least i did NOT stick to mostly fruits during the day...i was so hungry and just wanted to feel full, so i started the day off w/ some bananas and a raw organic food bar...then i had a lara bar for lunch. not the best things i could put in my body. the rest of the day was good though, and he

427. Re: *To your health*
peisi, i totally agree w/ what you wrote. life just isn't black & white- it's all kinds of gray! and "perfect" does not exist. trying to be perfect will only lead to failure and disappointment- negatives. but trying to do your best will lead to a more positive path, and isn't that what raw is all about? it is easy to take this raw foods lifestyle to the extreme, but that sort o

hey EA, just posted in your journal
thanks for the ideas for the lower fat raw hummus!
also, yes, the food processor i got is the black & decker mini one! lol. i like it a lot, it leaked a little last night when i made the dressing but my hands were all slippery from the oil so it may have been something i did wrong!

thinkingraw, i feel the exact same way! like my body is finally getting exactly what it needs and repairing itself and becoming more efficient at, well, living!
i'm sure you will be able to get to your optimal weight on a fruit and veggies based diet! i'm eating mostly fruit right now, with some veggies, and a very limited amount of nuts, and 'm feeling really great.
here's today's food.

hey there- good luck w/ your exams! this is my first year w/o them, but i remember all that stress.

hey EA, do i make the zucchini hummus the same way as i'd make sprouted chickpea hummus, just replace the same amount of chickpeas w/ zucchini? i think i'll do that instead. i want to be 100% raw already!
i am feeling amazing today. skin is clear and radiant, slept well last night, not feeling tired or dragging like usual on monday. i have NO desire for anything cooked, or even heavy like

i just realized i could have bought my food processor today and all the stuff i need to make hummus & salad dressing. but i am going to get the ingredients tomorrow on my lunch break, and get the food processor after work. i'm really excited! i'll probably just take tomorrow off from working out (unless my cats wake me up at 5 AM, then maybe i'll work out early!). i'll be busy making humm

hey Mikkochan! you are doing so well. how are you feeling?
those are some really interesting articles about plants and whether or not they have feelings. still, i find it hard to feel bad about eating plants. with animals, you can see their pain. they show expressions in their faces. they form attachments and have complex lives. maybe plants do, too, but it's harder to tell! at any rat

hey people
i love the support on this site, it really keeps me going!
Mikkochan, i think you're right- we need to drink tons and tons of water and that will help the headaches! i didn't drink much yesterday, and i'm sure that glass of (cheap and bad-tasting) wine really dehydrated me, as did laying out in the sun for hours.
earthangel, thanks for letting me know about the cheap food pro

ps- why would i feel like CRAP right now? i have such a bad headache (and i refuse to take anything for it b/c that's just toxins and bad stuff), i am dead tired, and i feel sort of sick. maybe it was the wine? i could tell it was cheap wine, but still! i only had less than 2 T of hummus and a drizzle of dressing as far as cooked foods goes...and this doesn't seem like detox b/c i didn't even

earthangel, people around here are pretty tiny! but i was actually surprised, i didn't feel "fat" at the beach today, i was smaller than most of the people there, so that was nice
Mikkochan, welcome! i'm glad you're experiencing good side effects, too. i got a small breakout last week- it's totally normal to have that happen, it'

hey my fellow raw foodies!
today was so nice and relaxing...well, except for the driving part. the beach was great though! my friend is really artsy and made me to a photo shoot at the beach...with all these crazy props and 70s clothes she brought...it was hilarious. we laid out for a while and read trashy celeb gossip magazines, then we got drinks and shopped and walked around. i am beat

earthangel, i'm glad you listened to your body! i am finding out more and more that that's what raw is all about- respecting your body and having that mind-body connection that our culture seems to completely lack. i listened to my body today, and it told me it needed a bit more than fruits and vegetables! man was i hungry today! but i still did really well. here's what i had:

it's ok Rian- just take it one day at a time. your body will let you know how far it wants to go with this. you just have to do what you feel comfortable with. even if you eat fish & chips after eating raw foods all day, you still ate raw most of the day and that is something to be proud of. you will get there when you're ready!

hello and welcome! it looks like you are doing great so far- that's wonderful!
what made you want to become raw?
i'm still transitioning, too. i had the headaches- mine lasted about 2-3 days. i also got a few "detox zits" and felt like taking things easy. today was my first day of mainly fruits and very little fat, and i feel so much better!

i can relate to your struggles w/ an ED. i went through a lot of the same things, and at the same ages. i struggeled again with anorexia and purging in college. i was a little worried about becoming raw b/c it's a lot easier to lose weight and eat less on this diet. but what i'm finding is that i really want to be good to my body and be as

well i thought about it just now, and i think it will be more feasible to do all fruits and veggies for a couple days rather than water fasting. i have a lot of produce that would go bad, and this way i won't feel dizzy or anything at work! i am going to do at least 3 days of all fruits/veggies- maybe more if i'm feeling good. so, starting now, no nuts or bars, just fresh produce. i'm excited

earthangel- i am going to try to do the fast tomorrow & friday i think- i'm going to have a super-busy weekend, including going to the beach & drinking wine, and probably seeing my non-boyfriend (um...let's not get into that right now!) so it may be better to fast during the work week? but if you'd like to join please do! i may not make it though...i guess we'

hey thinkingraw! i'm also really new to this whole raw food thing and i can completely relate to your struggles. i'm finally getting to the point where cooked food seems unappetizing and dead to me, but i still get cravings and i definitely had plenty of slip-ups. i think the best thing is to remember how awful you feel after eating cooked- bloated, sluggish, disappointed, etc. you don't want
