raw food and establishing ur health

[Guest guest]

Greetings. What percentage of raw foods do u need to eat so u would

start to notice an improvement in your health? And how long do u

suppose it would take to start to feel a noticeable difference in

your overall health? I really want to feel some changes, but I am

just starting out and I would say I am 50% raw--though it is hard to

figure an actual percentage for raw----it is just a guesstimate.

Will 50% really do much??

 

A typical raw day for me now is: eat just fruits in the morning:

blueberries then 1/2 later a pear, 1/2 or so later a banana. I do

this until 11 or 12pm. Then salads with homemade dressing. Salad is

raw, dressing is not: (Olive Oil, Org Golden Balsamic and peach all-

fruit jam). snacks: nuts, (not many), fruit and raw veggies. Baked

veggies with lots of garlic bulbs. And still I eat tuna to feel

full. Tuna with Vegenese (no more mayo) with salad or raw veggies.

Trying for: no meat, no dairy and no sweets. Lots of water. 6am and

3pm: tea with rice milk and raw honey. If I need dessert it has been

banana alone or with org peanut butter and raw honey.

 

My diet before raw was: I ate lots of salads, beans, veggies (raw &

cooked) plain or with hummus or tuna and lots of dairy, (which i

have a food intolerance tooo!)--milk (1%) , lots of cheese & butter,

eggs (only on occasion), yogurt (lots) and keifer. And tons of tuna

fish. Many nights dinner was 6 triskets with tuna. Tuna with lots

of Mayo. Whole Grain Cereal (1% milk or rice or soy milk) with a

banana was usually breakfast, and the banana was usually my one piece

of fruit a day. I did not eat much meat. Lots of water and some

supplements. And a very nasty sweet tooth, so i would not bring

sweets into the house until i " binged " and then for 3 days I would

eat sweets--often times for meal replacement. I preferred sweets

over all other foods. Still do ! (Many times I would lose my

taste. I could not taste foods except for the sweet foods---drs

could find no cause for my loss of taste) I " binged " approx every

3/6 weeks--depending on my control. Not a pretty pic, I know.

 

Thanks for ur input.
