Fitday- holy cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

August 9, 2006

Hi Gang,

Thanks for letting those of use how didn't know, know about Fitday. All I can

say is YIKES. I am not 100% raw. I am about 80% I would say, and after figuring

my food today on Fitday I am in shock. Holy COW. No wonder I am not losing much

weight!!!!! Thank you SOOOOOOOOO much- it has already helped me.

I am just so afraid of being HUNGRY ALL THE TIME like I feel like most of the

day now....that's why I haven't gone 100%. I can't sleep if I am hungry and I

get so darned crabby!!!! Are any of you 100% people hungry a lot or does this

disappear in time???

I am also lazy in preparing foods- I was a fabulous COOKED food cook, but have

no desire to make any fancy stuff raw for just me. Hubby is 100% cooked crap

eatter. I love smoothies and eat a ton of fruit every day. But I have been

eating nut butters in my banana smoothies...........way too much according to

Fit day!! So those are going to have to go. And don't yell at me- I also still

eat bread- organic whole grain sprouted bread...but bread none the less- tomato

sandwiches every day with organic mayo. I know- that has to go too. The thing

is, the bread is yucky without the mayo or butter or nut butter I use. So what's

that tell me? Bread gots to go too.......

Please tell me I won't starve to death or be crabby enough to kill someone on

100% raw. I really need to lose 60 lbs.

Help please,

Donna anne

Hi Donna,

You won't be hungry at all if you eat enough fruit! :-) Eat lots of bananas

and mangoes. Don't worry, you'll be fine.

Take care,

Audrey

I'm not nearly as experienced as other people here,

but what I've found is that if I eat things like nut

butters, they fill me for a while then make me

hungrier.

If I just eat fruit all day it takes ages for me to

feel hungry again. I just have to make sure I fit

some greens in too!

My husband eats cooked food, but if I don't saw 'this

is a raw meal', he'll quite happily have big salads

for dinner, and fruit or fruit smoothies for

breakfast. Then he eats whatever junk he wants for

lunch when I'm not with him!

Donna,

It is my opinion that your fear of being hungry all the time is what is holding

you back.

Hi Donna,

Donna,

I enjoyed checking out the fitday site yesterday also. I found that

I am not eating nearly enough food. I checked my calorie intake

yesterday and it said I had only eaten 397 calories but 97 carbs.

The odd thing is that I wasn't hungry though. I ate when I was

hungry and that was that. I've only started eating raw last week

but found that I am not hungry for soda or chocolate, two of my

favorites. I did grab a sample of Gouda cheese walking through the

store yesterday though. I have a feeling the lack of hunger does

have something to do with eating fruit. I ate fruit all day

yesterday and didn't have any hunger issues but the day before when

I ate a bananna and the rest veggies I was a bit hungry before I

went to bed. I almost grabbed some crackers.

Oh and one of my favorites for not using bread is to wrap all my

veggies in lettuce. Like a wrap without the tortilla. When I

stopped eating meat (but still ate tuna) I wrapped my tuna salad in

big leaves of lettuce and it was very good.

In all likelihood, that sample, which I'm guessing you didn't count on FitDay,

contained a

significant portion of your total calories for the day. Gotta include everything

with meaningful

caloric content.

I started out eating only fruit until 12 o'clock everyday and whatever

I needed the rest of the day for two weeks. Raw or not. Just no meet.

Then I attempted to go 100% raw. I have been doing well for about 5

weeks now. I think three things have helped me. Every time I felt

hungry (at first) I would drink a glass of water, wait 5 minutes and

then eat if I was still hungry. I have a half gallon jug I fill every

morning. I usually drink about a gallon of water a day now. The

second thing is I always try to travel with some sort of food.

Bananas are good because they are very filling. I also try not to run

out of handy snacks. Apples or celery and almond butter is one of my

favorites. I am still eating a lot of nuts and the more filling foods.

However, after being on this list awhile I am beginning to realize

that eventually I won't. The third thing I do is if we go out to eat

(which we do at least twice a week) I eat a snack before we go and most

places have a dinner salad or a greek salad that I can get. If not, I

don't stress I pick some sort of vegan meal or something with broiled

fish. I have done this 3 times in the 5 weeks. I never allow myself

to eat non-raw at home and only at restaurants where I can get

something really close to raw. I have been making my own salad

dressing and I carry that with me when we go out. Any diet I have ever

tried I have starved with no results. I am rarely hungry now except if

I don't eat enough after swimming laps. Sometimes I only realize I

need to eat when my temper gets a little short with my kids. I feel

great and all the weird things that were happening to my body seem to

be easing off now.

One amazing thing that has happened is that mosquito bites no longer

bother me. They still bite me. After they bite me and I get a bump

within a half hour it just goes away. I used to really suffer for days

with bites and now they just vanish. My husband thinks I am nuts but

its true. Also all the arthritis type pains and stiff joints I have

suffered daily for years are gone. I just couldn't be happier.

I hope this helps. Also, I can't say enough about " Eating Raw Made

Easy for 1 or 2 People. " I have other great raw food books but this

one has made all the difference for me this time. It has a weekly

shopping list, sample menus and all the recipes have only 4 or 5

ingredients. You don't need any special equipment just a blender, food

processor and knife. I have also learned to do a lot with my mini

Black and Decker food processor. For instance if I am making guacamole

I do the onions first in the tiny processor and then through everything

else in so I don't have to chop with a knife.

Hang in there. I am cooking standard american food for hubby and 1

daughter, vegetarian food for my other daughter and raw for myself. I

think they are coming around. At least I have found some things they

like now.

Good luck! We are all rooting for you.

Hi Audrey-

What do you all do in the winter when fruit choices are basically bananas and

apples???? LOL! This worries me too.

I always get the feeling that I I eat more than three bananas a day I will gain

weight or not lose any.

I also worry that too much fruit will make my blood sugar too high. ( I was

pre-diabetic when I was a cooked foodie ).

I REALLY want to be all raw. More fuit.....I can do that!

Thanks Audrey!,

I was under the impression that because fruits digest so quickly, that the

Jen,

Isn't that site great? I am not sure if it is worth downloading the software

that you have to pay for- does anyone else have it??

Your calories were so low-OMG!!! I wish I could eat that little, but of course

that would probably shut down my metabolism.

Tammy- thank you for your informative post . I never heard of the book you

I think it's the difference between hunger and

appetite. Rich foods and spices tend to stimulate

appetite, and leave you craving food. Fruit digests

quickly, but satisfies hunger without increasing

appetite - at least that's what I find anyway.

You need to eat enough fruit as well, which can take

some getting used to.
