Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 monte, you asked what i eat in a typical day, so here goes. i eat a raw mono-diet for the most part, like dr. graham proposes. i usually drink water in the morning, workout, then eat a juicy fruit until satiated. when i get hungry again, i eat more fruit, usually one type at a time, until satiated. it may take 10 bananas, apples, or whatever to fill me up. i also may eat some greens mid-day. they are grounding, and i need them after eating so much fruit. i need alot of calories because i burn them up in exercise. luckily i can go home to eat my lunch, because all this fruit can get heavy. in the evening i prepare a salad. the salad is usually not mono. it usually consists of mostly green leafy vegs, some non-sweet fruit for variety, and a simple dressing. i almost always eat avocado or nuts with this evening meal. and about once a week or so i fix a raw recipe. i enjoy the mono-meals, but still want variety sometimes. the important thing with my diet now opposed to what i started with is that my current diet is low in fat. i think my early attempts at raw foods failed because i was eating too much fat, which later resulted in cravings for cooked food. i also make sure i get enough calories now. i run ultramarathons, and can easily starve myself if i don't eat enough. i try to eat 4 meals a day instead of grazing all day long. mono-diet is so awesome. so simple. and food tastes better when you can concentrate on each piece individually. its probably harder to start mono-diet, but easier to stick with as you don't want to leave it once you experience. attila's reply is important, as what works for each of us is different. just letting you know what works for me. joe > " mavalkyrie <mavalkyrie " <mavalkyrie >RawSeattle >RawSeattle >[RawSeattle] eating >Sat, 18 Jan 2003 03:10:21 -0000 > >So what does everyone eat on a typical day?

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Thanks Joe! I appreciate your reply. I am starting to do something similar to you, in that I eat fruit most of the day, except for a salad usually in the evening, I can't say I have the mono thing down yet, but that's ok, you make it sound appealing, I am sure some day I will get there. Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Monte, Joe's diet is pretty much mine. Except I don't drink water in the morning, hardly drink any water at all actually. Also, Joe's quanitities are quite a bit more than mine, but then I don't burn tons of calories currently like Joe. I agree with what Joe says about it too. You'll probably feel like mixing things a lot more in the beginning, especially going right from the SAD to mostly raw. Eventually though, mono is the way to go. For most of my life I've eaten mostly mono, and it's the best for the body, ultimately. Good luck, and hope to meet you at a potluck soon!
