Happy day.

January 8, 2005

That sounds wonderful! Isn't avocado just one of the best foods ever?

My lunch was similar. A humonguous delicious salad and some fresh guacamole.

My dinner was (deliberately) several ounces of cheese, a whole bag of microwaved

popcorn, and a beer. Let me tell you, even a few days on a raw/living foods

diet will do enough cleansing that a " dinner " such as I had - which used to be

common for me, folks! - can cause a lot of discomfort. Within half an hour of

eating, I had a splitting headache and was feeling " off. " Not an experiment I

will be repeating anytime soon!

I just has a lovely dinner. Big fresh lettuce leaves, a lovely cut up

zucchini, and an avocado cut into chunks. It was wonderful. Health to all, Lane

January 8, 2005

I just love what's on my plate for each meal, lettuce, cucumber, bell

pepper, orange, tomato, carrot and asparagus. Mmmm, good cracker.

Throw in some avocado now and then (I like that website on how to

open an avocado, such detail), and I still haven't broken open a

pineapple waiting for me. Happy, happy day. I'm so happy eating

raw, joy, joy, joy. I'm going to have to re-up on some produce soon.

I just went shopping and let me tell you what I bought: avocados,

sweet potatoes, cucumbers, grapes, pears, corn, raspberries,

strawberries, kiwi, celery, broccoli, bell pepper, and tomato. I

don't know why it excites me so to list these things out, I must be

knew to raw. Isn't it exciting to be raw, yippee. My mother left

some rye crackers out that I've never tried. Serious temptation, but

I really need to find out what a year of consecutive raw will bring

to my peace of mind. I sniffed one of the crackers though. Anybody

ever do that, sniff food you're not going to eat just to relieve the

tension of wanting to eat it a little bit?

When did you start your year? 2005?

That is a great trial preiod; one year. You'll know for sure if it

will work out for you. I mean you'll know you gave it a fair chance.

When I first got into this I did a week trial, but it has turned into 6

months. I actually don't feel deprived or like I need to check out any

cooked food. I think it is all in the way you look at it. In my mind

I just say or think, cooked food is not edible, it is ruined.

If I'm really craving something good, I'll eat some celery with almond

butter and slices of dates. This usually kills any type of feelings of

deprivation. If I'm just hungry and not simply craving something good,

I'll put a banana, apple, pear, water, and fozen mango in the blender

and have two 16 oz glasses of this. It totally fills me up for a

while.

I try to make sure I eat plenty of nuts each day, too, as not to

deprive myself of fat. If I don't do this, I just don't ever feel

satisfied.

This particular attempt began a few days before Christmas. So, I'd

like to see a full year, namely all of 2005. And yes, I'll at least

have given it a fair chance after low these many years of trying. No

raw food really kills my feelings of deprivation, but certainly after

a meal I feel satisfied and not hungry. I do go to nuts mostly for

the emotional relief. Why they supply it, I don't know. Same for

avocados.

Well let me tell you about my breakfast. Take a couple of handfuls of almonds.

(Begone you nut detractors!) and gind them in the blender. Add water. Whirr.

Makes delicious beautiful almond milk. Insert banana chunks. Mine are usually

frozen, as I just buy bananas a coupla bunches atta time and freeze them in

chunkd before they go too ripe. Add berries. pulse and blend. Yum. I look so

forward to this every morining. Happy raw day everybody! Your's in health, Lane

Getting something that close to my mouth would just result in me eating it. :-D

Too tempting, and I'm pretty weak when it comes to food.

I too find it exciting to list what I bought and what I ate. Tonite I had a

dinner of two persimmons. Quite tasty and a divergence from my usual routine. So

just nuts and fruit today. No veggies or salad. Wow! I'm beginning to look upon

cooked food as being deprived of " real food " . Just a little. Oh happy day! Lane
