90% on a good week here. Less when visiting family.
What percentage are you, Romey?
Right now I'm only about 60%. I have been as much as 90% in the past and maintained that for about a year or so but with family etc. it's hard. I am working my way back up though. Just curious as to how long you have maintained the 90%? I know everyone is different and I notice that during summer months it seems much easier.
I'm going on about six months at 90%. Summer is definitely the easiest season to maintain that level. What did you do to keep a high level of raw in the winter?
Gently warmed in the dehydrator helped me a lot.
There have been times in the summer that I was close to 100% but in the winter the most I could do was about 90. I do drink herbal teas in the winter.
I try to stay as raw as possible but since I am not 100% anyway I don't freak out about it or spend a lot of time worrying about how raw I am. I don't really like to be labeled anyway. I am trying to eat the most nutrition dense foods that I can for my health's sake and I know that the closer to 100% I get the better off I am. Even when I was close to 100% raw I figure there are always some things that might not be raw such as cashews or tamari or other things used in raw recipes. "Being raw" is not my biggest concern, being healthy is.
I take the Garden of Life B vitamins. They are a reputable company.
I have been 100% raw in the past. Now i am just about 60%-- I still usually cook dinner or occasionally , lunch (in which case i will eat dinner raw). It is hard for me.....I live in the middle of nowwhere. No good farmers markets or health food grocers. I don;t even have a grocery store less than a half hour away. It makes it hard to get and keep all the veggies I will need for a week or two. The fridge starts out bursting at the seams and then gradually becomes empty. I have not been able to buy enough fruits and veggies to make juice with....I need them all to eat and get me through the span of time until I shop again.
