Unraw foods and daily raw foods

Alicia

Hey everybody! I actually have two questions for people. 1. If you aren’t 100% raw, what other foods have you kept in your diet? 2. What are some raw food staples that you would consider a part of your daily diet? Just curious. Thanks! Glad to be here!!

Hi. I can answer this question pretty easily.

1. I’m not 100% raw. I eat brown rice, some tofu and soy milk (not often), sprouted bread, steamed vegetables and once in a while a vegan cookie.

2. I always have this on my grocery list: Fruits: apples, bananas, avocado, lemons, limes Vegetables: celery, carrots, beets, scallions, romaine, spinach, kale, cherry/plum tomatoes and cucumbers Other: dates, raisins, goji berries, some type of cocoa or bittersweet chocolate, apple cider vinegar, and some nuts like almonds and cashews.

If I have these items, I can make almost any recipe I come across. Hope this helps. Debbie

I want to be 100% raw but find getting rid of bread very difficult. I’d guess myself to be about 85-95%.

1. I’ve kept 88% cocoa content chocolate, soy milk in smoothies (I find almond milk too time consuming, very expensive, and not enough of it for me, a hubby, and 2 kids), sprouted bread (Ezekiel brand by Food for Life), whole grain crackers, and Earth Balance spread. I do not have a dehydrator.

2. Always get bananas, dates, lemons, avocadoes, celery, carrots, spinach, romaine, tomatoes, plus whatever fruits and veggies I find on sale – like seasonal berries. I also pick up a LOT of nuts and dried fruits. The longer I do this, the more I realize how SIMPLE it can be – not using a dehydrator at all, but just eating nuts and fruits all day, whenever hunger strikes. It’s getting over the emotional cravings that’s so hard.

Thanks everyone! This was really helpful. Even though I’m new to raw, I’m actually pretty close to being 100%... I just have to make sure my diet stays balanced. Any tips anyone has in that area would also be very helpful. Thanks again!

Thanks so much Zoe. I think you’re right about the greens. My trouble is that I’m small, and can’t be losing weight. I had an eating disorder about a year ago, and raw foods have really given me a great feeling of freedom. Plus, everything tastes so good! Thanks for all your help.
