I've been 100% raw since August 12th, and am about 7 weeks pregnant. My husband (who is completely SAD) and I are going to Norway for a couple's convention in November and will also be staying with some friends of his. We'll also be visiting 2 or 3 different couples on different nights/days as well and will be gone 7-10 days.
I don't have a dehydrator but plan to have one by then, and know I can bring nuts, fruit leather, dried fruit. The thing is - I've been feeling very good eating mostly fruits, some veggies, a little nuts. I don't know if there will be much produce there in the winter so I'm really nervous about it.
I know I'm going to be offered alot of cooked food as hospitality (they're very hospitable and are always urging you to have seconds, etc!) and aaaack, I can't and DON'T want to eat ANY of it!
How do you handle going to people's houses that you don't know, that cooked up a fabulous meal FOR YOU and expect you to eat it? That's the main thing I'm worried about, I guess. It's kind of a thing where you meet people and they invite you over on the spot (it's a church thing; they're all super friendly) so it's not like I can tell them beforehand. I can always live on apples or whatever produce I can manage to find.
I'm not worried about cheating, I have never felt this good while pregnant (I am always VERY sick by this time and am barely sick on raw) and have no intention of jeopardizing that. :eek: One thing I thought to tell people is that I have a health problem and have to eat only certain things.
