I had 3 non-raw cashews...

And I feel like death. This is pretty good motivation to keep me raw once my 30 day trial is up!

(Day 19 today, by the way!! :))

Ha! Now just imagine yourself at a Churrascaria. Have you been to one before?? I went to a number of them when my husband and I were "courting" and then after we were married in Brazil (did I mention my husband is Brazilian?!). They basically walk around with lots of red meat, putting it in your face asking if you want more, unlimited. Plus there's always a salad bar with lots of different food.

If, um, 3 cashews didn't feel good... just IMAGINE that! hahaha.

But if you want to learn that "lesson" the hard way, I'll be here rooting you on when you tell us raw is The Way! :p

I KNEW you were going to say that. :)

I haven't been to a churrascaria before, and you're absolutely right - NO WAY!

I didn't know your husband was Brazilian - THAT'S how you know so much about Rio. ;)

Thanks for the support re: rooting me on later, but I think I'm converted for life. ;) Can't wait to get to the states and get some raw bread!

Sigh... I wish I knew about Rio. We've only spent time in Sao Paulo, and I THOUGHT we would go there this Jan/Feb, but Carlos wants to go to Floripa to visit some friends instead.

And yeah, seriously, there's NO WAY I'd ever have the meat like I did at the churrascarias again. I think I'd be off for weeks afterward. BUT, if you want to go to share in the experience and see it, most of them do have some raw food at their salad bars. :)

this is my problem with nuts and seeds, they are so dense, and with them having a small probability of not being raw... makes me CRAZY. why I Barely eat them!!
