Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Well, another day raw. I passed the five month mark yesterday. My weight's good, my demeanor and energy excellent. I'm still having fun running around Philadelphia to different things. I just saw the play Beauty and the Beast for kids, very entertaining. I'm trying to relive my childhood and be born again, I hope it works. Well, have a nice day everyone, I just wanted to check in a little bit. Peace, Rich P.S. Eat your produce and other raw plant food, that's all I eat and it's going great. I sat through a vegan cooking class the other day. All that work and heavy materials just to cook. What a waste of time, effort and energy and downright silly. The food's fine as it is, raw. I listened to a debate by animal activists the other day too. They spent most of the time talking about using animals in scientific experiments. I'm not much interested in that, I just want to eat my raw plant food. I assume these other issues would be easier to resolve if we all ate vegetarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 That's very interesting Rich about you not bothering with all the uncooking stuff. I am trying to learn some of these fixing because I'm getting bored with just salad. Do you really just sit and eat one thing at a time and not worry about putting anything together? Just curious.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 I should have said congratulations to your sticking to raw food for five months. I have only adhered to 80% raw for a month now. It hasn't been easy with being hypoglycemic. Anyway that is a great accomplishment and you must feel so much better than ever before.

It's always interesting to read about your progress and roaming activities. This one had me scratching my head, though: Why in the world would you attend a vegan cooking class that you say is a waste of time, and listen to a debate in which you had no interest?? Did you mention anything about your raw food eating to these people? - Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 >Congratulations Froggy! >swing Thanks swing. Unfortunately I miscounted though, it's four months. The time has just flown by so well and I'm feeling so well adjusted to my diet that I thought it was longer. rawfood , " Jesse Parris " <studio53@s...> wrote: > Congrats man, well done! > > Jess Thank you Jess and nice to hear from you. > >rawfood , " VictorianApril " <allhaul@c...> wrote: > > That's very interesting Rich about you not bothering with all the > uncooking stuff.

Just curious. > April (new here) That's not bothering with all the cooking stuff, but I guess you mean I don't bother with raw recipes either. Yeah, boredom can be a tough one. We're so used to having excitement with our food. As far as I'm concerned food is fuel so I can be about more interesting things. I think it's meant to taste good, but I don't think it's meant to fill any excitement needs. And raw plant food just as it is tastes the best to me. Or maybe I just believe it tastes the best to me because that's the way I want to eat. I'm just getting used to the fact that I think the way I am supposed to eat is just stick the raw plant food item in my mouth, as it is. I tire of salad too, I eat a lot of bananas, grapes, dates, raw nuts at night because I'm sick of the airier plant foods, lettuce, celery, cucumber, broccoli, carrot, spinach, other fruits, tomatoes, etc. that I eat during the day. I wouldn't call these items salad though, there's enough to select from to keep it from being mere salad. But yes, I just eat one thing at a time and I don't put anything together. I eat as much of each separate item as I want at any given meal. Nothing really tastes all that great anyway is what I have come to know. Why make a big deal out of recipes when the food is fine as it is? The other animals in the forest just have a few things they like to eat, I don't think man is meant to be much different. I do rely on the avocado as something different and munch on quite a few raw nuts. I do buy fruit salads, fruit's very tasty. The only fear factor I have is there's not enough substance to eating this way to keep my weight healthy but we'll see over time. So welcome newbie, I notice this forum has a lot of people who call themselves that. I hope I never do again. rawfood , " VictorianApril " <allhaul@c...> wrote: > > I should have said congratulations to your sticking to raw food for five > months.

I couldn't be less than 100% raw, I'd eat virtually all cooked and non-vegetarian if I wasn't 100% raw. But if you can maintain a percentage raw, that's good. My eating is too tied in with my spirituality to maintain a percentage raw. But physical ailments such as hypoglycemia make everyone's situation different. I feel tremendously better on my raw plant food diet. I sleep less and I have excellent energy. Physically I feel vibrant. I hope you stick with it. rawfood , Jan <jantese@g...> wrote: > On Apr 23, 2005, at 1:49 PM, Froggy wrote: > > Well, another day raw.

Did you mention > anything about your raw food eating to these people? > > - Jan Thanks for reading, I do enjoy the support. I go to lots of different things. I get something out of every event I attend. I just go where I feel the tug strongest, I trust that as what I should do next. I had never been to the location where the cooking class was being held so I learned of a new Whole Foods to shop at if I need it, plus I enjoyed my conversation with the vegan cooker. It was interesting for me to see a cooking class once. It just settles in my mind how stupid it is. All that grinding and mashing and the heavy utensils, so much work for no purpose as I see it. I didn't let on that I was raw though even to a vegan cousin, wouldn't want them to think that they're doing anything wrong. I just turned down the meal at the end. But it was good for me to go once, I wouldn't go again. But, of course, I'm somewhat interested in what our vegetarian cousins are doing, it can be an interesting social outlet. I'll go to their potlucks or restaurant gatherings on occasion and eat raw. I didn't know what the debate would be about until I went. When I hear animal rights, I think about not eating animals (a pretty good right from the animal's viewpoint I would think). It turned out that they mentioned vegetarianism in the beginning but then went on talking about animal rights as far as scientists using them for experiments, I left when I got too bored. But here too, I have an interest in these sister affiliations like animal rights. I certainly wouldn't rush back to hear more about it knowing what animal activists basically do. I don't mention my raw food eating to hardly anyone. No one would get it, and I don't much feel like explaining it. Plus, I'd rather be in a place where I'm not concerned about food at all. I don't even want it to be an issue for me. How old do you think I'll be when this world is ready to make meat eating illegal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that expression mean anyway. Anyway, thanks Gypsi, like Bartles said to Jaymes, thanks for the support. I made another one full day today. Congratulations on that more raw than anything else. And good luck with the working toward of 100%.

Not being too hard on yourself are you. Well, forget it, you're going to suffer with this raw food diet every day for the rest of your life like the rest of us. Like it or not. But cereally folks, welcome Donna and I hope you get what you're looking for on this forum. I was on here every day for my first 100 days raw, reading every post, commenting and taking in all the talk. I've since graduated, I just breeze in now and then to say hello, just like I like it. I hope I keep my overall life going this way, I'm enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
