I ended up having:
Green salad with lots of herbs, fresh figs, cucumber, half an avocado and olive oil.
3 dates
1 small banana with a little raw almond butter
A bowl of raspberries, grapes, blueberries and fig slices with a touch of cayenne pepper.
Yum, I'm going to try and eat more simply tomorrow though.
Atleast 20 bananas plus a banana date smoothie with 8 bananas and 10 dates. Finishing up 2 pounds of spinach atm.
I am starting today, a bit late but the weekend was a bit of a wash out.
Had a melon, spinish and sprilina smoothy this am, an apple and just had my lunch juice. I will have another juice tonight.

Rawaholic, I saw that you were eating these (OMG SO GOOD!!!) zapote. I eat each day cuz I'm so addict and I can find everywhere, i'm in central america.
I recommand you to have raw bread with zapote on top, but when he's very sweet. It taste like heaven I swear!!!
So far today I had soaked oatmeal with zapote and 2 bananas, with raw cacao powder and cinnamon. I also had a coffee..! But it's only like 8 am. Because I get up at 5-something I already had breakfast and stuff..
I plan to have a huge banana-spinach-watermelon smoothie for snach and lunch.
Have a good day everyone!
Hey Everyone! Glad everyone is doing so great eating raw.
I had a little set back yesterday, too many room mates partying with delicious food. But it was a great learning experience, as soon as i ate some I felt instantly sick it made me never want to consume cooked/processed food again. :) Today is a fresh day and I had... 1 young coconut, watermelon, kale smoothie. 1 delicious apple, olives, and plan to have raw pasta for dinner.....Yum Yum
Green Smoothies- I have been trying to make them everyday, but they continue to make me feel more and more queezy, I think its just the taste, does anyone have any recipes they use to make them delicious?
AVL- it happens to everyone! You shouldn't beat yourself up about it. It sounds as though you ate really really well besides that, so you should be happy about that. Start over tomorrow, and just be glad you know you ate bad, instead of constantly eating terrible like lot of people. From your posts you seem amazingly healthy, I wish I could have a ten of the motivation you have to excersize and eat well. Be proud, you are amazing!!!
^ I think the best thing you can do is forget it ever happened and carry on as normal - it seems like you eat wonderfully most of the time. I had a really bad day last week where I ate so much cheese and spelt bread and then almost 100g of dark chocolate.. it reminded me so much of how sluggish and sick I feel after eating this way that I'm sort of glad I did it as now I know I won't be doing that in a while.
Today I had:
peppermint, licorice and rose petal tea
2 figs, 1 plum
1/4 of a large watermelon
cucumber, carrot, spinach and ginger juice
1/2 a sliced avocado with sliced fig and thyme
an orange, a lemon flavour iced green tea (sweetened with apple juice)
4 dried wild apricots and 4 apricot kernels.
So far, its been really hard for me to stay raw for even a week.
I'nm never giving up. Its not a battle, its a journey. Today, I was raw up till supper, and I'm fine with that. I suffer from an eating disorder, and I refuse to obsess over eating some potatoes and green beans, when I ate really healthy most of the day.
Perhaps you could take extra raw snacks to work with you so you're not so tempted by the snack bins.
This is my 2nd day as I started late.
Last night after work I had a super green juice, kale, spinich, celery, broc and lime. I also had a raw sandwich with beetroot and carrot bread and in it I put, tom's cuc and a spread I made from corrinder and cashews. Totally yum. Then went salsa dancing for a few hours.
This morning (I am in the UK) I have had hot water. Then a green smoothy of melon, spinich, sprilina and bee pollen. 20 mins onthe stepper and half hour bike ride to work.
I have apples to snack on and for lunch my juice will be, lettace, carrots, apples, lemon, ginger and cuc.
When I get home I will have another green juice same as last night.
I have to go to a family meal tonight for Mum's birthday. They are all having takeout food, chinese so I am going to make myslef Thai Kelp noodles, which I have had before and totally rock. I shall also take coconut water to drink and maybe a bit or raw choc for pud but not sure about that yet.
Kepp going everyone, this is magic. K x
Hey All!
Not doing too well here. I have great intentions every morning making green smoothies, and buying the right food at the co op. But I continue to make bad choices when my husband says he is hungry and wants to stop for fast food.... way too tempting. I am definitely feeling the effect. A HUGE migrane today, and the energy that was increasing is now decreasing. But hopefully this will motivate me to improve (yet again)
I am glad to see everyone else is doing good, and feeling good.
:)
day 3 for me.
Update on yesterday. I didn't manage to have my green juice in the evening as it was to much of a rush after work. However, I made the kelp noodles and took them up to my Mum's for the family dinner. My husband and I were in charge of picking up all the takeaway on route. I am super proud of myself as I think it was the 1st time that I have no given into temptation and eaten cook food. It really helped that I have made a dish that I love and it was noodles so fitted in with what they where eating. None of my family would try mine! Their takeaway looked so bland and lifeless whereas my dish look vibrant and colourful.
So today
Small green smoothy as still full from last night. Coconut water, 1 banana, half a bag of spinich and sprialina.
I have grapes to munch on and I brought a papaya.
Lunch will be juice of apples, carrots, lemon, cuc, lettace and ginger.
Dinner will be a green juice and not sure what eles yet.
Firefern - it has taken me a year to get to refusing the cooked food like I did last night. It isn't easy when your family, spouse are not helping. I ask my husband to remind me if I go to eat somthing of what I am doing. I also stop for a min and grab my butt as ask myslef if I want it to be any bigger lol. This helps!
Blissings to all

I'm late , but I'm in with you guys..This morning instead of coffee I juiced celery/dark grapes .Yesterday I was 100% Raw.
Raw, here I come!
It seems that I kept myself in a 'cooked food closet.' Meaning, to the public was a raw vegan, but behind closed doors I would binge on all sorts of cooked food. Laying in bed the other night, I realized how counter-productive, unthruthful, and sad this behavior was. Either I tell my friends I'm a vegetarian, or I tell them Im a raw vegan. Needless to say, I choose raw. I've trashed my body with SAD food, and now Im healing. I eat raw foods for my health, my weight, and my happiness. YAY!
:) everybody is doing so well.
I was having an yummy food day yesterday. I drank lots of water in the morning.
Then I made a cucumber carpaccio with balsamic figs (from Russell James' e-book) served with an almond pate.
I drank some hazelnut milk and then a chai tea with hazelnut milk and a little agave (I try not to use agave anymore but this was a treat).
A salad of spinach, broccoli, half an avocado, dulse, braggs, cayenne pepper, avocado oil and a squeeze of orange juice.
And then late evening I went to visit one of my friends and he had bought me a present of these delicate little, pastel-coloured French macarons which he then put on a plate in front of me. I really couldn't reject the offer since they are rather expensive and it would have been rude. So I ate 4 and it was interesting because I used to adore them and now I find them so unpalatable. We also had red wine and a little cheese and I woke up feeling yucky.
So today I have been 100% raw but I still don't feel good.. I didn't eat very well to be honest because I was a little hungover and stuck at work where there isn't much food choice.
2 figs
a handful of raisins
2 watermelon slices
chai tea with hazelnut milk
another handful of raisins
a glass of hazelnut milk
lots more raisins (I never want to see another raisin again, I was stuck in a room with a huge packet of them and was really hungry)
a really tasteless apple from the canteen
same salad as yesterday
chocolate cashew ice cream and a tiny banana and hemp seeds.
Wild weeds
Water w/ lemon
salad from my garden..no dressing.
1 large Tomato
salad of raw green beans ,and mung spouts
Yesterday eve I had my green juice and a big salad of spinich, lettace, toms, onion, pumpkin seeds with a dressing made from sunflower seeds galric, lemon juice etc.
Today I wasn't so hungry in the morning so just had water, then at around 10.30am I made a raw body temp choc drink with almond milk, cacao, agave, vanilla and cinnimon. It tasted like Xmas.
I have just made raw mayo (I'm not vegan) with my hens egg yolks (b12), oo, lemon juice. Some of this I have made into a rawslaw with red cabbage and onions. I had a few tastes it totally rocks.
Had a raw sandwich of onion bread with cashew, basil spread. Still not that hungry so I will have a green smoothie, coco water, banna, spinich, sprilina, in a bit then have a sort out dinner later. Got to cook for my SUK hubby.
Off to Brighton tomorrow as I work for a raw food cafe, so no doubt I will get an amazing lunch.
Did half an hour keep fit this am and about an hour bike ride.
Have a magic evening everyone.

Karine
^ I'm definitely making that shake. Thank you for the recipe.
Today, I ate a fig and then a green tea and threw up. Has anyone else had this experience with tea? I have been sick from drinking tea before, usually when on an empty stomach.
Then to settle my stomach I had to eat a bit of the salad I had brought for lunch time. Spinach, thin strips of cucumber, capers, half an avocado and avocado oil.
An orange
A mashed banana.
A couple of handfuls of brazil nuts (comfort eating :s)
Chopped broccoli dipped in White Miso Hollandaise (something I created by accident which turned out really good)
Two slices of raw cheese.
Glad to hear you are doing better AVL!
Welcome Kitty!

Lunch at the raw food cafe I work at was a totally tasty sandwich with onion bread and loads of lovely filling with a side of rainbow salad, then I had a raw browine with gogi cream yumie.
Green juice of kale, celery, cuc & lime.
Dinner was lettuce, rawslaw, left over kelp noodles exrtra cuc.
Then I got a sweet craving so got some raw honey, cacao, hemp and sesame seeds mushed it all together with a little water n ate it all up. lovely.
Tomorrow back to the raw food cafe with my husband to make him have a raw lunch.
The weekend will be more difficult, after the raw food cafe lunch as we are away overnight. I will have to take many bananas. Don't think I could ever eat 39 tho lol.
Blissings to all

AVL, I wish I had your energy for all that exercise! =]
I am a runner, but an injury, and then laziness is starting to impede. I realized I haven't ran in over 2 weeks! AHH!
Im running tomorrow, lol.

But for Breakfast:
1/2 Pineapple
2 plums,
1 banana
1 orange
1 apple
Lunch:
Salad of spinah, tomatoes, cauliflower and celery
1 plum
1 apple
Dinner
Fruit salad of 1 pear, 2 apples, 2 banana, 4 oranges, 1 plum, 1 pluot, and 2 lbs of grapes

AVL, I'm pretty sure you could write my story for me, they're so similar.
I'm a runner also, and unfortunately with school starting, I have a very limited amount of time to run, and it SUCKS. I'm trying though. As with the food. I was good for four day straight, and then last night hit. I had an awesome raw day, and then suddenly at 8:30 that night I started dipping into olives, baked potato, peanut butter, pickles, beans, bread, and some cream cheese. Luckily, I stopped before it got out of control. I was going to fast today, and start fresh tomorrow, but I wasn't feeling it. So, its a cleansing day. Mostly cantelope and grapes and strawberries. Very cleansing
today I had 1 zapote, about 25 bananas and a few pieces of pineapple.
Oh my god I ate so much bananas... cuz i cut on oatmeal and I was lazy to go somewhere to buy food, it was raining all day... I really have to change bananas for something. I'll check that tomorrow
Ciao!
The weekend was fabbie.
Saturday I had a green smoothie first thing with banana, water, spinich and sprilina. Then for lunch my husband and I went to the raw food cafe, I had an amazing burger and rainbow salad followed by a hemp brownie. That filled me up for the rest of the day so I just had a banana later.
Sunday I had to watch my husband eat a huge SUK brecky in the hotel yuck. I had 3 bananas and some raw choc I had brought. Then later we net friends and they went to burgerking, so I watched them eat a load of crap again. I had a raw brownie that I got from the cafe the day before. Later on I was really hungry as we had been walking from 11am till 4pm so I got a cucumber and just munched on that while we waited for the train. For some reason they all found this very funny!
We we got home I have a big green salad with some of my raw mayo and onion bread. IT was yummie.
Today is day 8 for me and I am super excited that I have managed to get this far and not even nick a chip.
This am I had almonds blended with banana, spirlina, cinnimon and vanilla. Yum
Lunch will be a juice of apples, carrots, lettace, ginger, cuc and lime.
Happy Monday everyone
