i dont use much oil....trying to break that insulin resistance thing and get

rid

of my hypoglyemia.

i put fresh fruit and green leafies of choice.

and dressing is balsamic vinegar, a touch of oil, agave nectar, garlic...

stuff like that...lots of good dressing recipes in raw cookbooks...

i eat really simply though...rarely do i do gourmet raw...i find it very

heavy

and often will give me gas! theyr mixing too much stuff i think...

and i go long periods without eating sometimes..like 8-10hrs on days off

from work,,i graze at work...eat more often,,always fruit or a few nuts..

i like the flavored kinds from online raw food suppliers....i do smoothies

and

salad as the biggest meal....

im really loving the book 80/10/10 and am really living the principles..

fruits and leaves , a few nuts...im good....feeling great, looking even

greater!

dropping weight like crazy...down to about 145 now...i think thats 13lbs

from

when i started 5 weeks ago...i found my ribs! without trying!..and seeing

some cuts on my deltoids and triceps....im wanting to get ripped, so this is

a big thing for me...

peace

I can't believe you can go so long without eating!!! I can't and I feel

like a cow grazing LOL!!! Today is my first day of 100% raw again. I was

doing it for a while and then stopped, but I can't seem to remember when.

Anyway, I eat small snacks and no big meals all day with my daughter. I

would love to be able to go for a few hours without eating. I'm sure it

will happen in the next few months as I clean out my system again.

Victoria Botinko of Raw Family fame, seems to have popularized green smoothies

as a way

to get enough greens in one's diet. She recommends it daily. If you read her

story her

family had hit a wall health wise at about 5 years raw. She discovered that they

weren't

eating enough greens. In fact, the didn't like greens. So the green smoothie was

a way to

get the dark greens into the diet. If you love greens, I don't think they're

necessary.

Though you can blend a whole bunch of kale into a banana-apple smoothie and

drink it,

where it might be difficult to eat that much kale in one meal or day.

Mixing the fruit and greens are ok. The bigger issue are what fruits are you

combining.

Best to not combine sweet with acid. For instance not to combine banana and

orange. But

Banana-apple or banana-mango, etc. would be ok. The bigger question is whether

your

body can digest the combination. Does it produce gas or any other symptom of

poor

digestion. If so, find a combination that it can digest - probably one fruit

only plus the

greens.

I drink them occasionally, a couple a week. We use them at the retreat to get

large

quantities of greens into people who don't like greens and have never included

greens in

their diet.

I had thought that apples AND oranges were in the acid group of fruits;

therefore combing apple with banana would be a bad food combination?

Every food combining chart I've ever seen says apples are sub-acid.

By taste I'd say they are sub-acid. And for me they digest fine with

either bananas or oranges, but not both.

By taste I'd say strawberries - maybe all berries - are in the middle

- kinda acid and sub-acid.

I use the charts as a starting point, then listen to my digestion, etc.

leafy greens are considered different than vegetables. still, blending is easier

on the digestion, especially with a vitamix, so it tears down the cellulose and

almost creates a new blended food. eating fruit with salad, non-blended and with

more than just leafy greens, is considered to be poor food combining in general.

of course, there are no major medical studies on this ( any of this natural

health stuff, overall, really), so it's kind of an issue of common sense. but

the food combining is based on science, the enzymes utilized for the digestion

of those foods.

Thanks

this makes sense.

I only have a blender right now

with " wave logic "

:-)

whatever that is...well its supposed to be more effiecient.

It's not bad.

Well I can't add as much spinach as some but a 2 cups and I put it in

the bottom and will add a liquid-a fruit tea for ex and then put the

berries on top

I seem to do fine with that

No, in general the fruits with stones (nectarines, peaches, plums, mangos)

and cores (apples, pears) are all considered subacid. Can be combined with

sweet OR with acid fruits, but not with both at the same time. If you

combine ...

I drink a green smoothie 3-4 days a week, on average.

Some weeks it's more. It has a head of romaine

lettuce, 4-5 stalks of kale, 1 lemon, 1-2 apples

(depends on how sweet you like it), and a little bit

of ginger (this is the sole reason I cannot give up

the ginger- it makes this drink borderline addictive).

My favorite thing about this smoothie is that it

really gives me a lot of energy- I've been able to

replace my lattes with this with no problem at all.

Except that I still get lattes as a treat, every once

in a while. Of course, now they are made with almond

milk and organic shade-grown fair-trade coffee, and

green and black cocoa

Wow...if I hadn't just eaten dinner, I would probably

go make one of those right now!

Easy tips for food combining-

veggies can combine with ONE of the following, which

don't combine at all with one another:

starch

dairy

flesh
