RE: LANE / Raw Diet

[Guest guest]

Here are a couple of sites to help with the raw food diet....I ate totally raw for almost a year and then slacked off. Am planning on starting again.

 

http://www.increasedlife.com/

I have his ebook; it's great!

 

http://www.thegardendiet.com/

Check out the pictures of Jinjee 10 weeks after giving birth!

 

http://www.living-foods.com/

They have a message board and a ton of recipes.

 

Two books I love are RAW: THE UNCOOK BOOK by Juliano (ISBN #0-06-039262-2) and THE RAW GOURMET by Nomi Shannon (ISBN #0-920470-48-3). They are both great resources.

 

A little hint....I did my year without a dehydrator, which seriously diminished my food choices. If you can afford to buy one (I have one now), you can eat a much larger variety of foods.

 

I have to say, I truly loved eating raw the year I did it. I also effortlessly lost 25 extra pounds in the first three weeks and effortlessly kept it off. (About 5-7 of that has crept back on since I've slacked off, which is partly why I want to go back to raw. I also feel sludge-y now and I felt wonderfully svelt when I was eating raw -- and I'm 52 years old.)

 

Best of luck with your raw adventure! Maybe we can do it together!

Count me in! I want to go raw as well, and I think having a support system of people who are all making this transition together would be wonderful! My biggest struggle going to a raw diet is my two teenage daughters. They already complain about me not buying junk food, I can't imagine the fit they'll have when I tell them I'm only buying fresh raw foods. Actually I think I will still have to prepare them cooked foods in order to avoid a complete meltdown. Also, I am curious how you dealt with social situations when you were eating raw. That is difficult for me even now, since I do not eat the SAD, and I have had people be very offended that I would not eat their food.

 

Love,

Basically, in a social situation I just ate anything there that was raw. Crudites were a biggie if I was going to a party or something. Or I would eat my main meal before I went and bring a snack bag full of raw almonds or something to snack on.

 

Today I was mostly raw all day....had a big glass of tepid water with the juice of a lemon and two key limes for breakfast, then -- ooops, I snuck in a couple of tablespoons of Horizon organic cottage cheese for lunch, but that's something I make an exception for since I think it's good for me and it tastes good<G> -- I had a big glass of carrot juice when I got home from grocery shopping before starting dinner. I bought carrots, celery, zucchini, red and orange bell peppers, onions, jicama, mushrooms (many different kinds), mung bean sprouts, and some shrimp (obviously not to be eaten raw)....then I made a "stir fry" for dinner....cut up all these veggies and heated them just a smidgen (not cooked, but warmed) and added some shoyu (like soy sauce but better) and toasted sesame oil, added the shrimp (which were frozen, previously cooked, so just defrosted and heated them) and that was our dinner. Probably not perfect, raw-food-standard-wise, but pretty darn good SAD-wise and very tasty. Plus, I have enough left over for lunch tomorrow....will chop everything up and eat it raw instead of stir-frying (not the shrimp, of course).

 

As for meat, I didn't find it at all difficult to give up most meat when I ate raw before....I ate raw clams by the dozen with no problem and ate my beef as raw as the chef would cook it....I ordered it raw but warm inside when I ate out and that's how I cooked it at home. I didn't miss chicken or pork or any of those meats that *must* be cooked. The really neat thing -- *I* think -- is that you can eat as much of anything you want, as long as it's raw. There's no counting portions or calories or whatever. I used to (when in season) eat a half a watermelon for breakfast! And be totally content until lunchtime....

Hi Sharyn,

 

Did you change from a meat-eater to raw "cold turkey" or did you do it gradually? Certain doctors say you should do it gradually and of course this would be much easier for me - I would first cut out red meat, then dairy, then pastas/breads, etc., and finally when i could do that try going raw. Do you think this is necessary in order to avoid "culture shock?"

 

Thanks

 

Lane

Well, I wasn't much of a meat-eater to begin with. I'm not a vegetarian -- when I want a good piece of beef, I'll eat one (I think my body knows what it needs and I pay attention to its requests<G>). What I gave up -- yes, cold turkey -- was bread, pasta, etc. I don't eat much dairy, just that Horizon organic cottage cheese, and I'm lucky that I have access to raw milk, although I don't drink much of it. And even though I've inched back into cooking, I can't tell you the last time I had pasta or a piece of bread. Now that I have a dehydrator I'll be able to dehydrate breads, though, so will be able to have them again.

 

Why don't you just start out eating raw fruit for breakfast (watermelon is a wonderful way to start the day....very cleansing and filling), a salad at lunch (maybe with avocado -- very good for you and filling), and a veggie stir fry (just warmed, still crispy) for dinner? Easy enough to do....snack on handsful of raw almonds or pecans, dried fruit, raw milk cheese if you can get it.

 

Today so far I had the Master Cleanse lemon juice/water/maple syrup/cayenne for breakfast, a salad of tomatoes/cucumbers/red & green peppers/red leaft lettuce/a little feta cheese for lunch, I just had an applie for a snack, and we're going out for dinner so it'll be cooked, but as close to natural as I can order it, whatever it is.

 

It's just a new way of looking at things....check out those web sites and books. You'll get lots of ideas there.

 

BTW, I don't have anything at all against red meat, especially if it's grass-fed and rare. I probably eat meat a couple of times a month.

 

Another thing you might want to look into is sushi....I really don't like it, but my son loves it and eats it all the time. It's so good for you, especially if you make your own and leave out the rice (which I'm thinking of trying).
