I can't believe the issues I am having with trying to eat raw. I never thought it would be so hard as I ate lots of raw food anyway! so far I have been bingeing really badly most days on junky cooked stuff when what I really want to do is go 100% raw. don't know what is going on but hope I get to grips with it soon. Had to have the day off work today, was so exhausted with eating too much jun

Fogot to add that I do not know too much about food combining, just the basics...fruit by itself, no starches and proteins together.

Hi all
Have been reading a lot in this forum about food combining...how important is it in your opinions?
I have noticed that I am not feeling particularly satisfied after many of my raw meals, despite feeling full I want something else. This has led me searching for cooked, starchy foods even though I really prefer the raw! Frustrating .
Could this be due to poor food combining...or i

Hi
I am also English...just wanted to let you know that Brighton seems to be a good place for raw food events etc - try the website www.totalrawfood.com. I think you can get coaching there and they have a raw food shop in The Lanes in Brighton.
Just starting out with raw myself, but not had a 100% raw day yet!
Good luck!

I can really identify with this...was all ready yesterday for my first 100% raw day, ended up working from 7:45am to 7pm, got home STARVING at 8pm with my partner saying "shall we get a pizza"....we got pizza
I felt bad after eating it, but it was my own fault...just no willpower at that time of day!

190. Re: Bananas
I love bananas!
I have been eating quite a few since trying to go raw and, being a diabetic, I have noticed that it has been very difficult to control them with insulin. I have been wrong with my insuin every time, usually too little and ended up with much higher blood sugar than I am used to...I had been really well controlled until bananas came back into my diet!
I have also noticed that

This sounds really interesting!
I have had type 1 since August and am now trying to go raw.
Are you on insulin?
Was just wondering how you are dealing with the fruit juice in some of those smoothies...have not been brave enough yet to have fruit juice!
Any more tips would be appreciated...and congratulations for improving your life so much!

Thanks for the kind message...
I know that I do eat emotionally, but tonight I think I was just hungry as well. Ate a huge salad and felt really full, then about an hour after had that awful hunger that you can't get rid of no matter what you eat...I guess I know that is not really hunger, that is craving!
I will try to retrain myself to eat green smoothies/fruit when I get like this - tha

195. bingeing
Hi all
Since starting to go raw over the past couple of weeks I have ended up bingeing so badly...on nuts (see previous thread!) but also on junk (chocolate, crisps, chips...).
I don't want to do this! I want to go raw and I actually do love raw food so I'm not sure why this is happening but it's really upsetting. I am a perfectly healthy weight at the moment (120 5'4) but will be getti

197. green smoothies
Hi all
Does anyone else find green smoothies hard to digest? Veg/fruit combination?
Also, have been reading so much about finding the right balance of carbs/fats/greens...how do you know what balance is right for you?
Thanks

198. Re: nuts!!!
Hi Suncloud
I had no idea that cashews and brazils aren't raw! Just went out today and bought both!
I eat nuts and seeds every day, but I have noticed a few times now that I can really pig out on them. Maybe, like Soraya suggested, that could be emotional or that I'm not eating enough

Hi Soraya
Thanks for your reply!
Emotionally I felt OK, but you could be right that I didn't eat enough...I felt hungry still after dinner and I went to the gym for two hours this morning. Still struggling to get my food intake right after exercise. I guess I'll try more fruit.
Thanks

Hello all
I have been having really bad nut cravings and have just spent the evening eating cashews...now I feel totally bloated!
Anyone else have nut issues?
Any ideas what might be causing the cravings?

204. Hungry!
I am transitioning and just wondering what you guys eat on days when you work out...have done my normal workout this morning (around 2 hours mixture of cardio and weights) and I have been SOOOO hungry all day! Can't seem to get full and am craving grains big time and generally being grouchy.
I didn't eat before the gym, had an orange and a massive veg salad when I got back, a banana and a gra

206. Greens
How many greens should you eat per day when you go 100% raw? Is it OK to use green superfood powder as a supplement? If so, can you mix that with fruit smoothie or will it combine badly?
Thanks

207. Re: Greens vs. Fruit
After reading all the great threads on this forum I am starting to re-introduce fruit after several weeks of veg only (type 1 diabetic experimenting with the best way to control blood sugar!). Had some banana for breakfast this morning - tasted really good but I'm still nervous about getting too much fruit sugar..I feel safer with veg.
Went to a raw food cafe for the first time today...Vita O

Hi all
After being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in August I have been thinking about becoming a raw foodie...and reading this forum has really encouraged me, you all sound so happy! I can't wait to get started for a super healthy 2008!
