• i would just try to find some simple things to be the "staples" of your raw diet, such as a good salad and dressing you like, smoothie you like, and maybe a treat to go with. i tend to not like raw broccoli and a lot of the recipes can turn out odd …

• For me, zucchini and marinara is not enough. It may seem like a lot in volume, but it's not really a lot in calories. You may be able to get more in if you have a smoothie earlier in the day or try to eat more in the first part of the day. i need a …
