My grandma unexpectedly passed away Friday. I was caring for her because we thought she had the flu, but she didn't. She ended up having a ruptured aneurysm, and I had to call an ambulance to take her to the hospital, where she passed.

Today was the funeral. I'm very bummed and haven't ate well, raw or otherwise. But, hopefully I will be able to find my way back once things calm down.

So, I'm just going with feeling sad until I don't anymore.

Funny yesterday I did all raw except for three salad toppers and today I did all cooked except a smoothie.

The one thing I was noticing is that eating a green smoothie in the morning produces 5 (or more) bowel movements per day. This was a bit overdoing it for me! I don't know really what to do, whether to cut back on smoothies or just let it continue. With a mostly cooked food day, I only had 2. The GS also make my stomach very gurgly, and yesterday for the first time, I felt nauseous ...

As I've mentioned before, I basically stay raw until dinner. My green smoothies make me stay full about 4-5 hours, at which time I'll have a large salad. For dinner it's whatever I want, but I usually have homemade soup and homemade bread or beans and rice (this week hubby made muhjhudra which is a ...

I have been slowly adding raw to my diet, trying new things, reading online and off like crazy.

It will be five weeks on Tuesday, the time flew!

I have kept the green smoothie in my diet, and I enjoy them. I have tried a few things, like a raw chili which I liked and stuffed into peppers.

I made a raw zucchini hummus/garbanzo sprouted (didn't like the garbanzo beans much).

I have some nuts every day, and a couple avocadoes a week.
