Only need tiny amounts of food?!

Hello!

I’m only on my first day of eating 75% raw but I have hardly eaten anything…I’m just not hungry…

I had a pint of green smoothie earlier this morning, then an apple while walking home from shopping…and that’s it…is this normal? I have had a chocolate craving, but only because I saw a chocolate wrapper in the bin, not from actual hunger…I would have expected to be starving by now!

I have experience it, difficult to understand since I ate a lot before…

just don’t be too alarmed if you swing the other way… like all of a sudden you need twelve bananas… that’s ok too.

It’s funny, before I read “Green for Life,” I would make green smoothies and not be hungry. After I read the book, I was surprised to hear that the green smoothie will help with cravings. I was raw in 2003 and then again last year for about 4 months. This time around, I contacted a woman who suggested great things and one of them being the LifeFood Recipe Book by Annie and David Jubb. It’s a great all around book with a lot of variety. I wish I had seen this book in the beginning. Anyway, I always hear the raw rule, when you start out it’s basically anything raw you want, as long as its raw. And Mandelicious is right, sometimes you’re not hungry and then you want to eat 50 bananas. I think we do this how we can and try not to do what I did, which was beat myself up for doing it “wrong.”
