Ah, summer.  Makes you thirsty, doesn't it?  It's day 21 of my 20-day raw challenge, and I'm not interested in stopping on the first.  The thought of eating cows makes me sick.  My husband's dinner smells like dog food.  I have a fridge full of fruit, and I'm loving every bite.

I've eaten 4 whole watermelons this month, and I'm looking to up that to two a week from now until the end of the season.  That's my summer "Watermelon Challenge."  Been doing it for years, even when I…

I ate 3000+ calories per day over the weekend.  I really stuffed my face, and I was pretty active.  Yet, I've still been starving and having some cravings for the last three days.

I had the worst day in a long, long time yesterday.  At the end of it I couldn't sleep and it was 2am and it felt like my mind was in hell.  I had some avocado, hummus, and rice pasta hoping it would help me sleep (which I haven't done in a few months).  My feeling of intense hunger only went away…

i was wondering since i eat alot of fruit how much water can be drinking

i need help with sleep ever since i have been on this diet ive been not able to sleep can someone help me on some sleeping tips

It is!  I've been convincing myself lately.  I used to allow myself one cheat meal if I had been good for a while.  Mostly a big bowl of steamed veggies.  Some potatoes or even tofu on the rarest of occasions.  But who needs cheating?  I'm not a cheater!

You know what has made a big difference?  Upping my calories!  I used to eat 2000 calories a day and do a moderate amount of exercise.  Now I eat 2500-3500 and I'm trying to become an athlete!  I run 5k, bike, walk, or do yoga…

   I fell off the wagon so didn't post any more blogs but then 3 days ago decided to just do it, no more binging on cheese or other junk. I really want to just stick with it and go through the detox and see what happens, im just gonna post once in a while when something new happens. Just fruits, vegetables, n some grains maybe. Im eating at the very least 2000 calories, im eating as much as I can. i think after a while ill be able to eat more. Been doing that for 3 days and also drinking…

Hello,

I took today to be completely raw; I'm normally on a Raw Til 4 diet.  To summarize, I had a meal of bananas for breakfast, various fruits for lunch (pear, orange, grapes, blueberries, and strawberries), and a raw salad for dinner made of romaine, kale, cucumber, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and onion.

The romaine tasted very bitter, it was organic so I figured I didn't need to wash it. Does anyone know why it would taste bitter?

Also, does anyone know of any raw,…

Hi everyone.

I thought I would write a little about myself and my journey so far being vegan.

I became vegan on my 24th Birthday (last year) - it had been a long time coming. I wasn't vegetarian before, but had a few really bad weekends and weeks of eating too much meat, and I felt awful! Physically, I felt like what I was eating wasn't filling me with satisfaction, and I felt sluggish all the time, and found it difficult to put on any weight or real muscle. I have always been…

day 4 on banana island.. I probably should of made a post the first day I started but was super busy. All I can say is I'm fricken fantastic. Not only have I lost 13 lbs which is insane. I feel so energized and I sleep so much better. The weirdest thing is I have literally no cravings which I hardly experience on 801010 but sometimes I do have tiny ones. But not on bananas. Man who knew. This is crazy I'm having the best time.

Today is day nth of transitioning to 80/10/10. 

So far i've eaten:

1 large watermelon (i think it was @15 lb but can't say fo sho)

can't wait to get GLOWYY

So I've been slipping out of 811rv, mostly in the afternoons. I've immediately noticed it in my body: more bloating, less energy, more feeling tired. So this is my blog and accountability journal so I can get back on track and stay on track. My daily blog posts will include the following (adapted from the BG Diet Challenge on FB):

This is my first post here on 30bad. Just wanted to share some of my story so far...

Like so many people who follow a raw vegan lifestyle – I was really sick when I started (3 1/2 years ago). I’m still on my journey to wellness and I wouldn’t consider myself a picture of health (yet!), but I have come a very long way thanks largely (though not solely) to a 100% raw vegan diet.

My list of health complaints used to be pretty long, the worst of…

Making a Connection in Difficult Situations…

I improved my time by 3 minutes. My recovery time was a lot quicker and I could still feel the burn by the back leg muscles for 3 days after the run.  I am super excited to run a 10k, hopefully sometime in July. This in preparation for my first mountain climb in 2014. TGBTG!

As always, I am looking forward to everyone's encouragement :)

First it's time to update my pic to the new slimmer sleeker version!

And here is the comparison older one before…

My friend feeds her son milk but after learning the harmful effects she now wants to look for an alternative. Her son is 3. I suggested hemp, almond, rice, and coconut milk but to be honest I don't know which is best. Any advice? I myself drink almond milk.....is this considered raw? I make my own. I soak my almonds then blend it in the blender.
