Raw Percent?

How do you decide your percentage for being raw? By the day, week or by the meal? Like I had fruit for breakfast, a salad for lunch but with ranch dressing and an Ezekial bun with veggies and a little vegenaise on it for dinner. What percent would that make me?

  • About trying the raw dressinges, that was my thought exactly while I was writing my question. I thought, “why haven’t I?”. Well that is surely coming. My kitchen is being rennovated right now and is a total mess. As soon as it is finished, I see this whole new way of RAW rocketing for me. I have been thoroughly excited over it all and have lost a few lbs. The best part is the decrease in pain I am having. So I sure do see Raw dressings in my future. It’s a little hard when you love ranch. Are there any dressings similar to ranch?
    About the percentages, I just really wanted to know if I am considered Vegan or Raw foodist? I heard that if you are 80% raw you are a Raw Foodist. I realize 100% is a very hard place to get too, but I do want to get there. One hampering thing for being 100% is the availability of organic and/or variety of raw foods around me.

  • LionMouse, that was like music to my ears you saying that I am a raw foodist. That’s just so cool. My desire is so great that I had pad thai from this site twice today. it was yum!

    I am going to definetly try the dressings you suggested as I love avocados.

    Thank you so much!

  • I’d think by the week is most reasonable. My memory isn’t sharp enough to figure it out by the month…

    I’m aiming for 50%+ raw meals each week. I’m still transitioning into raw foods and I get stuck eating out frequently. Once I get some more willpower, I’m going to start setting aside time each weekend to prepare a week’s worth of food so I don’t have the “I’m busy!” excuse. My goal is 75% raw before summer.

    I agree that being classified as a “raw foodist” is just as much about one’s health and personal wellness goals as it is about the type and quantity of raw foods consumed. If I had to calculate a percentage label for myself, I suppose I would be 99% raw. After checking my intake and comparing it to lists of non-raw foods such as those found on “the dead list” on the purely raw website, I am confident that the only non-raw item I consume is herbal tea-bags (like Tazo).
