Thanks for the help everyone!
I'm starting to feel like the last of that gourmet meal is leaving my system, and any cravings I might have had seem to have susbsided. This morning I was encouraged to see that I'm still losing weight, which is one of my main goals and a guide of progress.
On a side note, I never feel stressed about not being able to eat something, and I never feel guilty abo

Thanks. "More nutritious" was bad phrasing. I mean to ask, what foods can be eaten cooked that should not be eaten raw (due to toxicity, etc.), and what foods have nutritional benefits in a cooked state, that are lacking in their raw state?
Perhaps it is best to eat 100% raw, but I might experiment with some cooked food, and wanted to make use of the experience by consuming foods whi

I hear tomatoes have more lycopene when cooked, and potatoes are very toxic when raw. Any other vegetables (or grains, legumes, etc) that have benefits when cooked?

Thank you suncloud! I'm glad I recovered so quickly! I feel pretty strong at the moment, but I recognize that there might be real necessitiy behind some of my cravings. So I'm trying to figure out what foods I might want to incorporate if the cravings don't subside. Steamed veggies seems like a good idea, but I'm having consistent cravings for cooked grains as well... I'll just wait and see how I

Thanks Paul. I haven't fallen off the horse yet, but at the moment I don't have much confidence in the sustainability of a 100% raw vegan diet for myself. I was eating raw gourmet because it satisfied my cravings for cooked food. It was also a fun thing to do with my girlfriend as a night out. Since my last experience was a bad one, I won't be doing it again.
After 7 days of mono-eating, I was

Yesterday was day 18 eating 100% raw vegan (plain SAD before that). On day 4, 7, and 11, I dined at a raw vegan restaurant. The gourmet cuisine, which simulated cooked food, was very satisfying and helpful during the early transitioning process. After my last visit I got more serious, and went a whole week eating nothing but fruit during the day; greens, veggies, and some avocado at night. I felt

You look good in both pictures, but much more carefree and even younger in the second picture.

98. Eggplant
Does anyone eat plain raw eggplant? I looked it up online, and couldn't find much advocation for it, so I decided to just try it for myself. I sliced it and ate the middle part with all the seeds. It was completely bland, but satisfying nonetheless. I ate about 1/2 a large eggplant last night around 9pm, and have not had any adverse reaction so far.

Probably 25 to 50%. I use the EWG guide to pesticides. The top 15 I just buy conventional. The bottom 12 I only buy organic. The stuff in the middle I would probably buy organic.
I do notice the pesticides. Someone gave me a stick of conventional celery last week, and it had a strong chemical taste. That's what prompted me to start using the list.

Can anyone suggest some low-fat protein sources? I had some raw cabbage the other night for the first time. I enjoyed it very much and when I put it into my nutridiary, I saw that it is very high in protein (20%). Any other good sources?

Thanks OD! I never thought of eating Kiwi skin, but perhaps I will try it now. I'll make up for the skin that your friend no longer eats!

No wonder my dog relishes scarfing down the droppings of other animals when he happens upon them. That's good nutrition in there!

Thanks la_veronique! I find I have less mucus on a raw vegan diet.
Thanks CoeyCoey, so if we are exposed to plenty of natural bacteria we get plenty of b12? Would eating wild plants without washing give us more b12?

Thanks, good info, juicer! I usually wash fruits and vegetables with a wash cloth and castile soap.

la_veronique, it feels unnatural to me as well, because I rarely wake up hungry. However, it did seem to benefit me. When do you normally eat your first meal? How is your energy throughout the day?
coco, I should try that. I need more greens and that sounds like a good way to get them in.

Are there any fruits (or vegetables) for which it might be beneficial to consume the seeds and/or skin? Are there any fruits or vegetables for which the skin or seeds must be avoided?
I know apple seeds are toxic, but I've heard papaya seeds are nutritious. I was interested to learn from powerlifer that apples and cucumbers contain most of the nutrition in the skin. But I'm not sure I could im

Ah good to know! So they would basically just be useful for calories, fiber, and hydration. In any case, I should aim to buy organic or choose something else.

I'm currently on day 9 of a 100% raw vegan diet. For the past 8 days I had not been eating breakfast. I was making it a priority to drink a lot of water in the early part of the day, and waiting until late morning or afternoon to start eating fruit, mostly because I wasn't hungry until then. This has caused me to feel sluggish and weak all day. However, today I decided to have a cantaloupe first

117. Conventional Apples
There is an article on this site which lists apples as one of the twelve non-organic items most likely to be contaminated with pesticides. I was wondering if I peel the apple, will that completely or at least significantly reduce the risk?

rawgosia, I like the way you think!
Tamukha, I just really like the taste of seaweed and find it very convenient to take on the road, so I was wondering if it could substitute for land greens sometimes. From the responses it appears that it is not a substitute, but it might be a good thing to eat in addition to land greens.
