***sigh*** Fell off the fruit cart yesterday - I overslept and so did not prepare foods to take to work - then the cafe/deli where I work just pulled a tray full of cherry tarts off the shelf that were outdated and set them out for the employees to eat. I am a sucker for anything with cherries in it . I am fine if I take my own foods with me - the oversleeping - not having good food with me t

Welcome !!! I went 100% raw for about 5 months - then slipped off the wagon, or the fruit tree LOLOL - I think part of it was not having good raw foods ready to take to work with me each day - I didn't have the foods available - and the health food store I work in has non-raw (cookies and chips!!!) samples sitting out frequently - so I would just grab some because I was hungry. Sounds like you

Hi Keri and welcome ! The thing with raw as that you can eat LOTS of food - cuz most of it is very low cal (except for those avocados and nuts ) . Right now I'm eating a HUGE salad. So I'd say, if you feel hungry - eat more I was at 155 when I first went raw - and I ate as much as I wanted and still lost 25 pounds
Looking forward to your progress

Hi Karen !
I had a bad reaction to pears, too - and I am not diabetic. I think I ate 2 or 3 one morning and felt really sick for awhile - eating some bananas helped settle my stomach down - but I just stopped eating pears. I don't know what it is about them that made me so sick. Glad you are feeling better now, though.

Hiya !! Operation Liberty ended pretty well - I lost 5.5 lbs for the month - ending up at 129.5 pounds. My new goal is 125 lbs. I think that will be my perfect weight. I'll stop losing weight there and start to focus on more muscle building (which means I get to eat more - OMG how am I going to eat MORE !!! LOL ) .

Just wanted to quickly post what my meals have kind of worked out to be since going on the raw bodybuilding plan:
First thing in the morning - huge glass of water (usually 3 cups)
Breakfast: fruit salad: sliced banana, chopped apple, sliced strawberries, chopped walnuts
I work out an hour after eating this.
If I am doing a weight workout, I have a post-workout drink made up of primarily
