Does anyone have any suggestions on a good way to begin the transition into the HCRV lifestyle? What should i do to begin to the transformation? Any particular meal plan?

Thanks Rachelle for the date website! Anyone else have a good date connection with good prices? I'd like to find really good deals on bulk dates. Thanks! Itsy

Sheri, I order my dates from here:  http://www.oasisdate.com/browse/date-varieties

They have organic medjools as well, but I love the honey dates and the barhi dates.  :)

All right, ya'll.  My fridge is stocked with LOADS of yummy fruit and veg, I've got bananas ripening on my countertop, and I'm about two days away from a 10lb shipment of organic dates!  I've been transitioning slowly ever since my 2-week "trial run" back in April, but now I'm all set to go 100%.  Any love, light and support you can give would be greatly appreciated!

Hi guys,

 

Finally after few months of transitioning I went 100%!! Its been 6 days and how strange its not even hard! Im feeling good and even have started running every other day. And I used to hate it haha

I have couple of questions:

First of all I feel absolutely fine and have not experienced any detox symptoms yet. Not that Im aware of at least. My head gets a bit cloudy after drinking 15 banana smoothies but only after about 2 hrs and it goes away after I have a salad. Im thinking it could be some weird reaction too so much sugar at once, coz im not used to that? Do you have any ideas where is that dreading detox? J

And I also have a new crazy craving for mushrooms! I can go through a pack at a time on its own and find them so tasty even without salt! Wonder what is it in mushrooms that my body could be craving?

Hi there!

I have been doing a vegetable juice each day, mixed fruit and veggies.

Eating fruit throughout the day, with a bit of crunchy veggies like carrot and celery and capsicum.

Having a handful of nuts and a fruit or green smoothie.

Then having a vegan dinner and a hot vegan drink or tea.

Is this an OK typical day?

I am finding that I have diahorrea a bit :-/ from all the fruit intake!!! What can I do to calm that down?

and I am also noticing that my teeth and gums are more sensitive then usual - so I've read that washing your mouth out after fruit based meals can be a useful thing.

Any tips or advice would be helpful as I'm starting out...

thanks for the tube posts Tom. Yea maybe I ate too fast. In general I just scarf fruit. I will slow down on my next watermelon and see if there are changes. Thanks!

Conor, I've suffered with melon belly too - and not just with melon!
