Hello all
well eating raw ss going well for me, the only problem i habe is that on some days i over eat and others i tend to over eat and i would like to stop that from happening.
So if anyone is willing to post or tell me how they eat on a daily basis i would love to hear about what they do, i have lost around 8 pounds so far, but i have dark rings under my eyes, how can i make them go away?
And on the days that i am not 100% raw i get diarrhoea now, hot one too!!! Excuse the details!!! :p

hiya :D
Some days I eat barely anything, focusing on fruit and lots of water, while others I'm really into avocados and nuts, and some is all about salad.
I can give you the last couple of days of what I've been eating.
Yesterday:
~water all day
~one pineapple
~3 nectarines
~4 mangoes
~avocado
~slice of "pizza"
Today so far:
~water
~chocolate pudding RAW!! (it's the PMS talking :p )
~strawberries and blueberries
and I have a big bunch of kale out ready for juicing in a little while.
During the summer it's easy to eat less because of the heat... just go with what your body wants. I can see how you would have tummy upset when you aren't 100% raw, because your system is so used to all that wonderful fiber and nutrients, and then when you eat something cooked, it says "hey man I want rid of this" LOL
I hope this helps!

I wake up and do what I feel like :D Of course, I will try my best to keep it somewhat balanced, this past few days I've been having Moon-time and my hormones are deciding what I want. However, like yesterday, all I really wanted was nice cool refreshing fruit, so that's what I had :)

it's changes all the time for me. i really get into one thing - like huge salads w/ my favorite raw dressing, or bananna/avo pudding, or raw fudge.
i do notice one thing that is always true - i tend to over eat when i don't get enough greens. so, 2 greens smoothies are pretty much a staple for me everyday. one in the morning & one in the evening. the rest of the day i eat what i feel like.

The only thing that is regular for me is breakfast. The rest is dictated by the gods!
I do very much listen to my body and not to a "what should I eat" mentality and this works well for me.
On bedside table to wake up to:
Bowl of cherries
lg glass water
Before Noon:
My Superman Smoothie
Nectarine
between noon - 6:
walnuts
1/2 avocado w/ lemon & salt
Maraws Spinach & Herb Soup
More Superman Smoothie
water
After 6:
Big batch of Orange Julius - -it's VERY hot today
I find with 100% my appetite is is hardly there at all :p

hmm what lovely things did I consume today...
am- liter of water with two teaspoons of MSM, stevia, 1/2 lemon
more water...
1 liter of water with 2 T Vitamineral green, 1/2 grapefruit, stevia
the woman I work for gave me a bowl of shredded yams (raw of course) with coconut butter that she made... incredible! such a treat
some celery, 1/2 very small (and rather tasteless) canteloupe
blueberries!
(Large!) Romaine and garden kale Salad with cherry tomatoes and an avocado, ceasar dressing, a few flax crackers, some celery
2 small pieces of cacao chocolates, last bite of vanilla white chocolate ice cream
16oz green juice with kale, celery, lemon and a tiny apple
every day is different! and exciting!
also I certainly didn't eat this way when I started... see what works for you
I will say the vitamineral green & greens juice are my favorite things in my diet... they satisfy me like NOTHING else... amazing :)

I eat whatever I feel like eating, but it's mosly fruit, with usually one small meal of prepaired foods.
today I had:
Breakfast:
1 cup ginseng tea
1/4 cup coconut
snack:
1 cup almond milk
3 1/2 dates
lunch:
5 rawviolies (turnips & nuts)
1/4 cup marinara sauce (tomatoes & herbs)
snack:
1 plum
2 small pickled cucumber
12 oz. orange juice
1/4 cup pineapple
dinner:
4 oz. orange juice
1/2 brownie (walnuts, dates, cacao powder)
1/4 cup pecans
so you can see the only thing I ate that wasn't fruit, was the cacao powder, the turnip, ginseng tea and some herbs, everything else is fruit.
I find this works best for me.
I just eat when I want, what I want, and I ate alot today compared to most days.

Of course it varies from day to day but my usual day would be...
green smoothie
green juice
large green salad
a main dish like a raw tomato soup or raw dessert like date-nut torte
banana ice cream and some sort of cocoa sauce on top
raw brownies and raw fudge

Right now I am all Fruit from Monday to Friday. All fruit with bulgar wheat on the weekends. Yesterday (Friday) I made a complete pig out of myself :p
I had just came off of a fast on Thursday which definitely had something to do with it :rolleyes:
Breakfast:
34oz of water. 3 bananas. Large bowl of fruit salad.
Lunch:
34oz of water. 1/3 of a large watermelon. 1 plum.
dinner:
4 chopped apples with 2 avocados (seasoned and alfalfa sprouts added), then another avocado and 4 mangos :eek:
I forgot to drink my third 34oz bottle of water like I normally do. I think if I had done that I probably wouldn't have wanted to eat so much for dinner. But as they say, it was all good ;)
Peace.

That really all depends. Some days all I'm hungry for is an apple, others I want a small handful of nuts, a huge salad, a few nectarines, some plums, and an orange or 10 :D etc. Or sometimes I want 5 avocados and then a coconut. Then some days I'll have some gourmet raw. Lately I've been eating less because I just haven't felt like I needed more. It all depends though. I eat a balance of most things. The only thing I don't eat a lot of is nuts, fats because I don't desire them too often and I don't get enough dark leafy greens because I struggle with the taste, but my body tells me that I need more so I'll eat more soon.

Hi there,
I just responded to the 80/10/10 question, so I've copied my response here for you. :-)
Breakfast--one or two honeydew melons
Lunch--three or four bananas
snack-- a handful of dates
Dinner-large salad with romaine lettuce, cucumbers, tomatos--topped with my favorite fat free dressing--OJ blended with a couple of tomatoes and a cup or so of dates.
Breakfast--a pound of grapes
Lunch-4 or 5 of the little yello ataulfo mangoes (would be 2-3 large mangoes)
Dinner--4 or 5 bananas
Breakfast--one or two honeydew melons
Lunch-7 or 8 little donut peaches
snack-a handful of dates
Dinner--a large salad with tomatoes and cucumber and my favorite fatty dressing, avocado blended with OJ. Yummy!
I love eating this way, it is so simple and I feel better than I have in years! :-)
All the best,
Audrey
