I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.

Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!

All my best,
Alissa

OK well lets see.

Day 2 - at the cafe. I successfully resisted the nummy nummy treats, but I did have a soy milk latte. Had a super good banana/soy/acai smoothie for breakfast, and some of my muslix...I seem to be drinking a lot of soy, and I know its not raw, but I'm almost done I swear! Then I'm onto making nut milks. Actually come to think of it, day 2 wasn't so great. Lots of soy, and then the dinner fiasco. Well we went to this restaraunt in Barrie called Moxies. I was stoked to have a nice big garden salad. Well, do you think they had a vegan salad on the menu??? Hell NO! 8 salads and they all had chicken or salmon or some other meat product. So I asked for one of the salads minus the chicken. The manager came out and and talked to me and said they could 'beef up' a salad for me with lots of veggies etc etc. SO out comes the salad. A dinner plate loosely sprinkled with salad, 2 grilled asparagus and 6 thin thin red pepper slices. All this for 13.99. Come on now. Not going back THERE! I did taste 2 of my friends french fries. mmm they were tasty lol
Back at the house I did OK, nibbling on my dried zuchs and potatoes and almonds...I did have a few drinks but a girl has to live a little!

Day 3 - yesterday - SO HUNGRY! I had 2 raw food bars, a ton of almonds, the rest of my veggies and then when I got home, I finished up the broccoli/cauli/carrot slaw with cashew mayo and then i had a can of Amy's split pea soup. SO really...the weekend was a write off...and I am up 2 lbs to boot (didnt have a lot of water - i'm attributing this to dehydration/bloating issues)

Day 4 today...had more muslix with 1/2 c of soy milk, an apple, a banana, a small bowl of grapes and raspberries and blueberries and 2 Sunza buckwheat crackers oh and a salad at lunch. Dinner I am having wraps - marinated veggies (zuchs, onions, carrots, in braggs) with sprouts and avocados in swiss chard. Possibly more fruit after.

I picked up 2 un-cookbooks today (still waiting for Alissa's - its at my mom's in florida). I got RAWvolution by Matt Amsden (a fellow Canuck) and the Raw Truth by Jeremy Safron. I wanted Juliano's RAW but couldn't find it. SO now I think I'm set anyways....
