My 9th Week Eating Mostly Raw

jtlovesongs

I haven't written on this blog for a few weeks. I am happy to say that I am still on my journey to eat mostly raw and for the most part I am doing good. I am still eating chicken on the weekends. Sometimes I eat chicken on Friday & Sunday and sometimes on Friday Saturday & Sunday. On my 4th week I only ate raw for about 3 days. But I was able to get back on track the next week. I really would like to eliminate the chicken on the weekend. It's so hard to think about not eating chicken. I love it that much. lol Anyway my goal this week is to not eat any chicken at all.One of the problems that I have is for some reason by the end of the week I seem to get very hungry & just raw food doesn't seem to satisfy me. This weekend I am planning to eat some pasta & maybe rice & cooked veggies when I feel like raw food is not filling me up. It's really weird. I can go through the whole week eating raw but by the end of the week I really want something more substantial and it doesn't matter how much raw I eat I'm still hungry. Maybe I'm not eating enough or maybe I need more vitamin & minerals. This week I am eating a green smoothie for breakfast, another for lunch then 2 big salads in the evening, then nuts & fruit for snacks.

I'm gonna be better about sharing my journey. All the encouragement that I get here really helps me.

Till next week.

Thanks you all for your comments. Mikfizzle I like your blog. I can't wait to get a dehydrator so that I can make some chips.

Thanks superfood2 & sv3 for the tips on getting over eating chicken. I will definitely watch the video.

Are you eating enough 'substantial' raw food, like nuts and seeds? I get cravings big time for things like pasta and turkey meat balls, things like that, and a serious sit down with seed "crusts" (thicker than crackers) and some spreads - avocado, cashew 'cheese', even some raw goat cheese - makes me so full I can hardly walk. Kelp noodles (SeaTangle makes them) are unbelievable...you can eat HEAPS of them and there are so few calories/carbs/fat it's as if you didn't eat anything. I put on a sauce (tomato, garlic, onion, oregano, sea salt in the blender), warm it all up just a bit, and OMG...takes the pasta craving away immediately. Plus, the kelp noodles expand in your stomach so there is no way you'll be hungry for hours.

There are so many substitutes for the things we think we can't live without...I'm sure you can get past your chicken addiction. Good luck and keep going!
