• Yeah, I’ve been thinking about it more, and I really shouldn’t try to limit myself. Paradoxically, I think that by looking for the perfect food combo, I was allowing myself to eat a bunch of junk food (which I’ve been doing lately)—I was thinking, “…

• pianissima—the Archive material I listen to/download is from their Live Music Archive of trade-friendly artists (most is streamable, all is downloadable). Members of the Archive (I’m not one) record those shows and post them. If you’re interested in…

  in Fewest foods, adequate nutrition Comment by Michael
• Nuttgirl, the same thing happened to me. I’ve been eating, well, uh…LOTS of junk. I’ve had several “OK, starting tomorrow…” moments, but they haven’t stuck yet. I’m gonna start again tomorrow, though. While I’m not living with anyone, there will be …

• bitt: I think I am listening to my body—unfortunately, that has included the part of me (my mind, really) that has been craving sweets for the last few days. BTC: Today was actually not a new day (but tomorrow is)—I bought some cereal and ate that t…

  in Critique my seed-based diet Comment by Michael
• It’s been about a week since my last post, and I just thought I’d update this thread. Like I said above, bananas (and apples, to a lesser degree) make me want to eat everything in the house. And all of those seeds left me with little energy (transit…

• I bought some broccoli this morning and took a stalk to school/work today, along with a carrot and some sunflower seeds. After eating some seeds, I snacked on the broccoli and carrot through the afternoon and I felt really good. When I got home, I t…

• Thanks for the replies. Morning_theft: I haven’t actually tried sesame seeds, yet. I was looking through the list of raw ingredients in the “New to Raw” forum, and they looked like a good alternative to sunflower and pumpkin seeds—it sounds like the…

  in Critique my seed-based diet Comment by Michael
• I don’t think seeds are the “best” for me—I would be hard-pressed to pick a food that is. I just want to be able to eat simply—go to the store, buy some food, and enjoy it. All the greens I know of are relatively low in calories, so I would have to …

• This topic: Are oats raw? on Gone Raw suggests that ALL oats are not raw, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

  in steel cut vs. rolled oats Comment by Michael
• I didn’t try the flour or mashing ideas—I just tried eating soaked quinoa again (this time with some banana and cinnamon). I just do not like that stuff, so I’ll be looking for something else to eat.

  in Raw oatmeal--soaked, not blended? Comment by Michael
• I suppose I can try to mash my soaked grain up by hand, along with a few other ingredients (maybe banana and cinnamon).

  in Raw oatmeal--soaked, not blended? Comment by Michael
• Can you use ground flour (like quinoa flour) in order to get the blended texture? I doubt it—what do you think?

  in Raw oatmeal--soaked, not blended? Comment by Michael
• Hi. My name is Mike. I’m a college student, who (over the last few years) has been experimenting with different foods, trying to balance nutrition, cost, taste, and portability/simplicity. I’ve only been raw about a week (about 90%), but I’m enjoyin…
