Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 All- This is my Quick in general response - please don't nit pick, I'm just trying to help 1, If we are eating enough calories from fruits and vegetables then as a general rule we are getting enough protein. However, during transitioning our digestive system takes time to adapt and since you are nursing you will want more protein & healthy fats than when not. Avocado (no more than 1/2 of one a day ) Nuts and Seeds are delicious but we don't need much - like 1/2 cup a day for you. 2. No need for any cooked food, unless you are REALLY cleansing hard and want to slow it down so it's not so hard on you and the baby. 3. Food combining can still be an issue especially if digestion is weak. Do Eat melons alone. 4. Fruit cut up and veggies cut up. I've bought little food and various shaped cutters which make it fun to cut up the food with and the kids think its cute. Hummus on veggies, Nut butters on celery with raisins. Smoothies. I would design salads so they look like different facial expressions.... Hope that is helpful.

I am a mother of two small children and married to a wonderful person. I have decided to dramatically increase our raw food intake on a daily basis. As a result, as some of you are aware, the mucus is flowing, skin erruptions are happening, and slight mood swings are occurring. I do understand that these "side effects" are blessings and the manifestation of our health improving.In application, we as a family are new to the raw food concept, so I have a few questions. 1. We eat various nuts, seeds, and avocadoes for protein. How do I know when we've overloaded on the protein?2. Is it accurate to say that because I'm a nursing mother, I should consume at least one cooked/warm meal a day?3. Is it correct to think that because most of what we eat is raw that food combinations do not matter?4. What are some simple child-friendly snacks that we can prepare?Thanks.Amaadi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
