Anyone eating 50% + raw food?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
My aim is to be eating raw food for breakfast, morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack. Then to eat a cooked meal in the evening for dinner.

Anyone else here, doing this?

I actually strive to do this. On good days I can do it. I do add protein in the form of meat occasionally at lunch as well though.
Here is my sample menu:

Breakfast: Smoothee: banana, blueberries or strawberries or peaches, whey protein powder, organic yogurt, splash of orange juice, sliced almonds

Lunch: Large salad of mixed greens and raw veggies w/either a cooked meat or fish or chickpeas

Dinner: Cooked meat w/more raw salad, small amount of starch (rice or potato or pasta) and another (cooked) veggie or two.

I do this!!!

I eat almost all of my fruits and veggies raw. I just don't like the taste/texture of most veggies when they are cooked. With the exception of mushrooms, and well... they're a fungus anyways!

I have a green smoothie for breakfast, or a banana with some nut butter.

For lunch I love having a giant salad, but I do add some cheese and meat/shrimp to that. I also like raw salsa (pico de gallo). I don't like raw eggs, but love cooked eggs, so I eat them with raw salsa.

For dinner we have protein and starch/grain and a salad (usually with nuts) or crudites with hummus or other dip.

So I guess we try to do raw at every meal... and almost all of our fruits and veggies are raw!!! We also like raw nuts! :

I also wanted to add that I feel my best when I eat this way. It feel very natural to me. I do enjoy sushi/sashimi as well. It does have cooked rice though. But since I eat very little cooked grains it doesn't matter to me. I feel so vibrant and clear in my head when I'm able to eat mostly raw with some cooked meat thrown in there. We recently went on a 3 day road trip, each way, and I wrecked my diet eating fast food and other stuff. I brought my blender to make smoothies in the hotel but I didn't end up doing it all the time. I gained 5 lbs in almost 2 weeks eating like this. I'm trying to get back on track.

I do this most days. smoothies, veggies, salad, raw nuts, kale chips, and my new craze is raw tahini butter mixed with raw honey and dip strawberries, rasberries and blueberrys so yummy
