• Thanks, TammiTrue! For sure, it was the saddest peanut brittle ever.  Only good thing is, I'm sure there's a better raw nut brittle out there somewhere: maple syrup, dates, coconut oil, crushed nuts, salt, dehydration... maybe I'll take a whack at …

• Day 22: Breakfast was some trail mix, and a cacao smoothie. Also had some "raw peanut brittle" (snack I picked up from Bali) that was definitely not anything like peanut brittle. It was more like a not-very-sweet sesame seed snack. Lunch was a bow…

• Day 21: Yesterday was a surprisingly good food day considering most of it was spent in airports. Morning was great: finished the raw tempeh, had some fruit. Lunch I ordered a nut burger that consisted of some great flavors and sauces: pesto, cashew …

• Claire T, you nailed it! Just now getting my bearings and then, time to go back.   ----- Day 20: Yesterday was a bit of overindulgence on the food scene! Breakfast was fruit, and some of the leftover raw hummus and crackers I picked up.  For lunc…

• Day 19: Breakfast was a bunch of fruit: watermelon, papaya, and pineapple. Only problem is, it wasn't particularly good fruit. Had some orange juice too. Not sure what it is, but the standard tropical fruit in Indonesia can't beat India. Oh, I also …

• Day 16-18: Day 16 and 17 were limited in options and I was trying to be creative as a result. A lot of cucumber, some nut dressings which were so-so, fruit salads in the morning, and pretty basic food. I definitely got irritable on a few occasions …

• Interesting, I've never heard it can cause vomiting! Peeling zucchini might help, but I find it one of the most monotone-tasting veggies, so I'm not sure how it can be nausea-inducing.    Carrots are another good food to spiralize. I add some salt…

• Still going raw, but it's been a bit harder since we left Ubud. We went to an ecolodge where it was a captive market situation when it came to food, but they had a few raw options. And by "a few" I mean two, so it was a ton of salad and a veggie wra…

• Day 9: The days are running together here and I'm going to try to remember all that I ate, but I've still been raw. :) Breakfast: Fruit bowl of papaya, pineapple, dragon fruit, and strawberries. I had a mango-strawberry juice, a wheatgrass shot, an…

• Day 8 Delicious food day! Bali is amazing. Breakfast: Cacao smoothie, then went to my favorite restaurant, Clear Cafe. Unfortunately they didn't have lunch options, so I went for a raw granola with coconut milk and fruit (papaya, strawberry, banan…

• Thanks, Claire! Fruit for breakfast is always great. Super light, easy to make! I hope you live in a relatively fruit-friendly place. Most places are, but I'd say somewhere like Ecuador is a little easier than Finland. Airport food IS getting better…

• Day 5: still trucking along, and pretty easily at that.  Breakfast: fruit salad of pomegranate seeds, mango, and kiwi. Also had the usual cacao smoothie. Snack: I packed these snacks here which are mashed dates and mixed nuts (pistachio/almonds) s…

• Living Light is pretty gourmet and high end. I'd absolutely pursue that option with enough of the basics under my belt especially if you're in the area. I actually second ClaireT's sentiment of suggesting Laura-Jane's stuff because her recipes are …

• I'm 5'7. When I went vegan 12 years ago (and was subsequently raw because I didn't know what was and wasn't vegan), I went from 135-ish to 120. Even today my range has generally stayed from 120-130. I've been as low as 115 and as high as 135, but ne…

• Used to need a quick nap everyday thanks to my night ninja toddler... now I don't while eating raw. Woohoo! If I need to sleep more I will, and if I require less now then that's cool, too.

• Day 4: Went well! I was on the go a bit more and need to remember to pack food. Morning: Cacao smoothie and cut mango. I didn't eat lunch until 1:30 and was super hungry. Lunch: Had another lovely kale salad and the organic tomatoes in it were ama…

• Thanks, Claire! This is such a wealth of information for members--I think I'll treat myself to it after I'm done with this 30 day challenge, and re-up on another month.   --------- Day 3! Started the morning with lemon water and a cacao smoothie.…

• Alright, no comments, that's cool. I'll just comment on the board directly here.  For background, I'm 31 female (a/s/l? lol). I'm doing this as an overall self-improvement project, especially as a way to study how my individual actions affect our p…
