Hi all

This is day 8 of being raw for the first time ever! I seem to be getting the hang of things! At first I was always hungry, then I added more fruit, green smoothies. This is what I eat more or less in a typical day. Please feel free to coment and suggest ways I can improve.

2-3 glasses of water first thing inthe morning

Green smoothie; 2 pears, 1 kiwi, 6 kale leaves. tbls flax, hemp and chia seeds, maca. Or 1 mango, and kale 1 cup of water added

1 banana, 1 orange

1/2 cup raw oatmeal with nut milk and dates

Lg salad; romain, spinach, zucchini, tomato, cucumber, peppers, black olives, 1/4 avocado, sprinkle of hemp seeds, and a few pumpkin seeds, small piece of feta crumbled (can't seem to give this up ) dressing olive oil, red wine vinager, sea salt, greek spices ( my all time fav )

cup of herb tea (for warmth, I am always cold now) Chia Rooibus with a little honey

and lots of water

some times I have the salad for lunch and a green smoothie for dinner

some times I will have 3-4 dates if I am craving junk food, seems to help with the cravings

I feel good, not really any detox symtoms yet. No spike in energy, about the same as before.

Please feel free to comment or add some suggestions/

    thank you sv3 I will give it a try.

    lulshka8, how many fruits a day is enough? Not sure how much to eat.

    You absolutely need more calories, at very most your eating 1000 calories. Everyone needs more calories than that, but it depends on how large of a person you are.

    Wow, you think I am only eating 1000 cals a day! I haven't sat down to work it out yet, maybe I should! How many calories do I need in a day? I am 5' 3", I started out at 143lbs and now I'm 138lbs. And right now due and an injury I am more sedentary than I usually am. this is a little confusing, but I will keep trying, as I really like the way I feel since Istarted eating this way.
