i was just reading other raw diaries( dont know if i spelt that correctly) and noticed that others have listed weights for each day. i think that listing my weight will be more of an encouragement and motivation. i will have to list my weight daily.

i dont know why i didnt think that nutrients would be lost when fruit is dehydrated. maybe my idea of fruit leathers will be a special treat when i make sure to consume all daily nutrients and vitamins thorugh fresh fruits and veggies

i am going to take it day by day. im going running and am going to eat raw today. setting goals for myself each day seems less overwhelming than assuming i will be eating raw for the rest of my life. day by day seems much better, and in no time i will look back and wont have to worry about making sure i will be eating raw..it will just become my new and improved lifestyle. i found this meaning fo

thanks for the encouragement. i know i should be easier on myself, but i just want to succeed and become raw as easy as 1,2,3. After looking into this life changing diet, i thought that transitioning would be so much easier than reality. i love fruits and veggies, its just hard trying to base every meal upon fruits and veggies. i did look on this website where i found some raw recipes and most so

wow, i need a cookbook soon. all i have been eating for my attempt of this raw food diet is just smoothies, raw oatmeal and raw fruits and veggies. it would be nice to change it up. im not sure if i am not as hungry as i used to be because i am eating healthier, or if i am just not wanting simply the same whole raw fruits, veggies, raw nuts and oatmeal as much times a day as i thought.
