So I have been trying the raw way for about 4 weeks now…I do great during the week as my time is scheduled with work but the weekend comes and I do great until saturday afternoon..then it’s all down hill!!!
This past weekend I had 2 glasses of wine which normally wouldn’t matter but on Sunday I felt like I had the worst hangover ever. So how did I cure the hangover?? with 1/2 a green smoothie and then crap heavy food for the rest of the day…...Did anyone else have this problem to begin with?? How did you overcome it or is this something that I will just have to be super patient with myself?

Thanks Jen…..I think sometimes it just helps to hear someone else say what I already know!! The reassurance is helpful!! I’m glad to hear that you sort of have the smae kind of eating shcedule as me…...I;m not alone!! lol
Cheers, Sara
hi sarm, im new too…ive been trying on and off for a year but only recently, last month or so, everyday except the weekends…i love going out to eat at the indian buffet with my husband! but, i notice if i do go off, its only for that one meal that one day, i feel like im cheating or something if i eat a slice of ezeikel bread! i still like eating hot soup ! im not sure how anyone does this all day everyday? but i would like to ! i try to go on this site whenever i am pondering eating cooked food…
imagine that, if i lived by myself without my husband who eats like a human garbage can, maybe if i wasnt cooking huge good smelling italian food for him i wouldnt feel like cheating! i am like you coconutty, i think in my head, well monday im “on” like as if its the work time, and i have “off” on weekends…
you know what else is kinda weird, is that i love to cook, its been my activity to sort of destress like a hobby, and this raw way, i get into the recipes, but im not able to be too creative yet, i feel like im just eating a bunch of blended nuts every second!
hey enjoyraw, i just read your profile and i totally get that meat eaters thing! i have five children, 4 of them like to eat lots of meat type food and potatos, ...ive only made them organic grass fed meat and raw milk, raw butter, all organic stuff, but i bought a george forman and just serve all my raw stuff and every nite i make them meat on that grill and either rice or noodles and i stopped eating family dinner style, i just make all the food like a buffet and say nothing and wait to see who eats what!
coconutty…lol, I’m not too sure the husband would want to leave!!!
I like the way of saying that when you are “on” for monday-friday then you can be “off” for the weekends!!!
I have a weakness for pastas although it has cut down considerably!!! this past weekend was the first pasta i had in close to 4 weeks!!!
So I will continue on as I am….THanks for the supportive words!!!
while i was “off” i made home made ravioli with my family, its a thing where we all have a job or part in the making of the raviolis, and when it was time to eat, i made 3 raw sauces for them! but i ate some ravioli, wheat and cheese, and i am still sick 3 weeks later like i have bronchitis or something…im almost afraid to eat pasta again! but somewhere in my head there is always room for baked ziti! i better go do your idea now and make a green drink asap!
EnjoyRaw, you are couragous! its tough watching people eat donuts, its like a stimuls in my head goes off mmmm coffee, then i think, hey, i dont drink coffee any more, and i dont even mind, i guess our taste buds do change! yea, my family doesnt eat out at all anymore, ive got the kids making their own lunches and sometimes breakfast, i did notice a big difference by just making foods, and putting them on the table or kitchen counter and not saying one word, i also bought mini cookie cutters and make shapes out of all the kids food, they love stars and the hearts, and then they focus on the shapes! i quit taking the kids to mcdees a long time ago but once in a while they eat it and that night they always get a fever and very sick, and i remind them off that so then i take them on a “picnic” and to the dollar store instead of mcdees!
i just bought a dehydrator for 60 bucks, it has adjustable temp control by nesco..last night i used it for the first time,i made pecan burgers that were so amazing!!!i think i ruined the potato chips or overcooked them? .as for the cinamin buns, you gotta have these treats made ready and waiting in your fridge so when you stand and stair into that fridge, you got something waiting…i always have brownies made in advance, i have a great brownie recipee i made from a bit from mat lawson and from chrissy, i also have a apple or blueberry pie already made, neither need a dehydrator…i also ordered a case of dates from the date people in california, they are so oooso good, , let me know how your pop tarts come out…i keep eating apple slices and celery slices with almond butter…keep pictureing yourself beautiful and raw and whaat you will look like as if you were already 100 per cent raw!
Thanks Luna blu! and to everyone else that replied…..I do feel better!!! I noticed though that when I have eaten cooked food I don’t eat nearly as much as I used to and I find the process of cooking more fulfilling than eating it!!! lol ….I think my body is talking to me!! :)
Green Smoothies seem to be my favourite so for the time being I will just go with the flow!
