Well I've decided to adjust my raw foods plan. I am finding it hard to eat raw veggies. Fruit just tastes better to me .....sooo I have decided to include cooked veggies. Since I have done so I am enjoying this way of eating much more.
The last several days I have lost five pounds. My sense of smell is much better. I never noticed that ripe melons have a wonderful smell similar to lilies. When I eat just fruit I have much more energy. I am doing a lot less dishes, down to about a sink full a day. I don't drink half the water I used to. I get thirsty after eating out. I go to the bathroom more. There were a few nights there where I even woke up to go.
I don't crave chocolate like I used to. I now eat chocolate only a couple times a week. I used to crave it all the time. I do get cravings but they seem to last for days. My most recent one was for melons. I even found myself looking through a seed catalog at only melon seeds. I don't really crave meat like I thought I would. Sometimes I do crave fat.
With this way of eating I can eat till I'm full and eat foods that taste good. I remember when fat free was in, my Mom bought these fat free brownies that tasted like cardboard. No substitutes with this way of eating either, no fake meat or fake sugar.

Nothing goes to waste either. Both fruit and veggie scraps go to the chickens and what they don't eat is biodegradable.
On the down side, at any given meal a person may eat a pound of meat and/or 1/4 to 1/2 a pound of pasta but I at a meal am consuming several pounds of fruits and veggies. In other words eating this way right now is a bit costly. I hope in the future to grow more of what we eat.
Sooooo, so far this way of eating is working for me and I am enjoying it.

I'm glad you found something that works for you. Are you including any kind of nuts? They might satisfy your fat craving.
Thanks. Yes, The nuts are technically supposed to be raw but I'm really not sticking to that. Most of the nuts I eat are either raw or dry roasted.
