• Ya isn't that weird? I've also been eating a lot of mango lately. I don't know why, but I can eat 3 a day (on top of everything else I eat). I buy frozen mango at Costco, and I just suck on the frozen pieces, it's like a popsicle to me! I can't wait…

• swayze, I still need to practise eating only one type of fruit at a time. I really like combining then, in a fruit salad. It's funny because before eating so much fruit, I used to crave it so much. But tonight, I didn't even want to eat fruit, all I…

• Hi Lobo, Thanks for your concerns. Well I'm feeling better today. Yesterday morning I also had 3 lbs of cantaloupe for breakfast, which cleaned me right out. I went to the bathroom 6 times! So today I decided not to have melon, since I had to go to …

• Tulsi, I agree with you with putting fruit with greens. I usually make a smoothie in the morning with a banana, strawberries, VEGA powder and spinach and it doesn't cause me any problems. But I think that having had fruit after my vegetables made so…

• I just combined a bunch of different fruit tonight, like strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, banana & a peach after my zucchini pasta. Oh boy do I ever feel bloated! My stomach is protruding a lot and I feel really uncomfortable :( I had a …

• I got 2 cantaloupes and 1 canary melon. They were $3.99 each! These are going to be expensive meals! TheyI made the smoothie with a cantaloupe, but I'm sure they all taste really good.

• joannabanana, I just had a cantaloupe smoothie. It was so good. I didn't know that it would get all frothy like that! I had put my cantaloupe in the fridge, so when I made it, it was nice and cold. I went to the grocery store today and bought 3 melo…

• OMG you make me want to have one now! But I just had lunch, so I'm definitely going to get some cantaloupes later today!

• joannabanana, I have never made a cantaloupe smoothie before. I sounds delicious, maybe I'll go by more melons and make a smoothie for later or tomorrow. Since the melons are already very juicy, do you add a lot of water to your smoothie?

• I had a 1.5 cantaloupes (about 2.5lbs) for breakfast after my workout. It was SO GOOD! It was cool, juicy and refreshing :) Now what to have for lunch?

• Wow thanks Lobo! That is really going to help me. So if I want to eat cantaloupe and a salad for dinner, could I eat my salad, wait 40 minutes and then have cantaloupe?

• Thanks! I'll try different things this weekend and see what works for me. Should I try just one monomeal a day to start or should I go full on and do an entire day?

• So if I were to eat only 1 type of fruit for a meal, when would I include my vegetables? Can I combine them with fruit? For example, could I eat 4 bananas with a salad of mixed greens, peppers & lemon juice. Can anyone give me a sample menu for …

• Oh that sounds like a good thing to do! I think that I am going to try this weekend. I thought monomealing was eating only one type of food for the entire day, but I guess it makes more sense that it's for an entire meal. So do you just eat as much …

• My brother is raw and my mom is also partly raw. I don't live with them anymore, since I've moved out and my brother lives in Montreal. My dad and 2 other siblings are not raw at all, so there is still crappy food around when I go visit them, so it'…

• superfood2, I calculated the caloric intake for that meal based on the portion sizes that I eat. Maybe I should have included that before, because my portion sizes of fruits and vegetables are pretty large. So my total was 1765 for that day. I guess…

  in How do I know what % raw I am? Comment by AVL
• I agree with you superfood2, I thought that 90-95% was high, although I would really like to be that high. I would say most of my calories are from raw foods. I usually eat about 2000 calories a day. My buckwheat oatmeal is 140 calories, the edamame…

• Cool, I didn't know it would be considered that high! Not bad for having started 5 weeks ago, although I was eating a lot of raw foods to begin with.

• silystarrfish, ya it makes sense. That's kind of how I saw it too. But what if all my meals are mostly raw but I have a thing in there that is not. For example this is what a typical day looks like: VEGA powder with banana & strawberries Buckwhe…

• So since I've been completely off my meal plan today, I ended up having a dinner of bread, lots of cheese, crackers, some Nutella on my crackers, and a raw vegan brownie. I was so good as I was eating it, but I feel like crap now. Hopefully it will …

• My brother tried to get me to watch Earthlings and I just couldn't do it. I only watched the 1 minute preview, and it's just so horrible and sad. I don't know how people can just watch animals getting tortured and killed.

• I don't think that I need to add any more fats in my diet, I think that I have plenty already. I try not to eat too much of them, but right now I'm at the point where I'm doing pretty well with having eliminated starches (like bread, rice, pasta) , …

• Thanks for your input :) I guess it would cost a lot of money to run the oven for hours on end. Not very economical! I checked my oven temperatures and the lowest it goes is 150 degrees, so that's too warm. For now, I think that I will buy my raw cr…
