[RawSeattle]Brief survey

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I wondered if I could survey some of the raw fooders in the group who

have been refining and simplifying their diet, like those moving toward

natural hygiene or are following Doug Graham's 80/10/10 thing. I'm

especially interested in getting feedback from people who feel they are

having success doing this (Eric, Socorro, Joyce, Attila come to mind, among

others). I'd just like you to post what you eat in a typical day. I know

this changes drastically seasonally, so let's assume it's a day within the

last week or so. Thanks very much!

I've been moving more towards mono. It's been in the back of my mind

for quite a while (15 years?). I may go 5 or 6 days mono, then one

meal or a fes days with some mixed foods. One difference where I've

noticed a big difference is not using dressings with my greens. One

of my reasons for focusing more attention on mono greens (or at least

no dressing) is I have less sensitivity in my teeth when I eat my

greens by themselves, without dressing. It does seem that my teeth

are benefiting directly from the greens I am chewing. It's as though

the dressings (even simple oil) may be coating both the greens and my

teeth to prohibit any absorption by my teeth.

 

A typical mono day:

(organic!)

 

Fruit for breakfast (a melon, some mangos, OR some oranges)

 

Fruit for snacks during the day (typically bananas, sometimes dates)

 

Greens for lunch ( " spring mix " , or a head of romaine or red leaf, etc.)

 

Greens for dinner ( " )

 

I've recently been trying a low fat diet (no avocados, coconut,

nuts/seeds.) I've had some sesame sauces a couple times in the last

couple weeks, otherwise I've been following this and haven't missed

the fats (just those couple times.)

May I ask why you are eating a low fat diet? You don't need to lose

weight, and the body (especially the brain) needs some fat. I'm just

concerned that you not deprive yourself of what the body needs. Take

care.
