Been feeling a bit of hunger today, but I think that's because I got up very early today and have been active ever since. My fiancé just baked some cinnamon rolls because he absolutely hates me. Waiting (anxiously!) on 6:00 for the raw sushi I am going to put together. I think I will do some meal prep for next week to pass some time.1

Forget the cinnamon rolls, I'll take ALL THE SUSHI - LITERALLY ALL OF IT

SO MEAN!!!
But honestly, it was mostly just the smell. Once that dissipated, I didn't really think much of it, and I am definitely looking forward to the sushi more!
This day seems as though it is draaaaaaaagging on. Having some sparkling water now to appease the tummy and thinking about what I will be having for dessert. Maybe some chocolate banana nice cream... yummmmm!0 -

Oh yummy, do you make your own?0 -
Today's OMAD, eaten around 5:55PM:
Man, oh man. This one was ugly but it sure was goooooood. In my mind, using cucumber slices in place of nori (because the raw kind was $16 a pack!) made a lot of sense. I absolutely love traditional cucumber rolls, and I figured if I sliced them thin enough, I could roll them up.
Well... my mandolin didn't do too good of a job making them super thin, and then I realized that we are all out of toothpicks to hold them together. I was pretty distraught because I planned out things perfectly and had no other readily available raw food besides just plain fruits and veggies.
Thankfully, this turned out to be DELICIOUS and perfectly scratched my sushi itch.
Cucumber slices (about 2/3 of a cucumber) smeared with sunflower pate mixed with spirulina and topped with grated carrots that were marinated in vinegar and ginger
Yesterday's leftover coconut meat that I dehydrated and ended up adding to my "rolls" for a tempura feel
Pineapple
Sundried apricots
Not pictured: handful of sunflower seeds and a glass of red
I didn't have as much fat with this meal because my avocado wasn't ripe enough to add (so sad), so I filled the gap with fruit. I don't know if that will result in a gain or not, but I definitely needed the calories!0 -

My scale was giving me all kinds of strange numbers on Monday morning, so I went ahead and recalibrated it and found that last Friday's weigh-in of 156.8 was wildly inaccurate. I came in at 159.2 on Monday after recalibration, which honestly made more sense to me. I am someone who can easily gain 10 pounds in a week when I am stressed and stress eating, so the fact that I had only gained 3 in evacuation was very confusing to me. This solved the mystery.
In any case, I am back down to 154.4 today after 3 days of raw vegan OMAD, and I will be starting my challenge thread shortly!
Nice! Some veggies might be better cooked but as you say, you can cook those or find other substitutes of raw stuff you like that has the nutrition in it.1 -
Love your raw meals! I should really do some research and try to incorporate a couple of raw food days a week. I'm pretty close some days, but I do have vinegar on my giant salads (and sometimes cheese) which I'm presuming isn't considered raw (the vinegar I mean, obviously the cheese is out!)... I could easily make a dressing with avocado and tomatoes and cilantro and fresh chilies and water though.1
-
And outstanding job on the weight loss!1

@minigrrll you could always switch out your distilled vinegar for raw apple cider vinegar! And yes, I actually prefer the raw dressings I make at home. They're super simple and tasty Let me know if you try it. 0

Today's OMAD, eaten around 7:40:
Copycat BJ's cauliflower taco made with gluten-free vegan flat bread
Corn
Stewed beans
Roasted brussels sprouts
Quinoa, black bean, and corn salad (picked this up from Whole Foods and it was soooo good!)
Watermelon essence sparkling water
Vegan flourless chocolate cake topped with date syrup
Glass of red
This meal was delicious! I tried to recreate a meal I had from BJ's Brewhouse a while back, and I think it was successful. I added in the corn, beans, and sprouts to get rid of leftovers.
I couldn't eat more than a few bites of the cake. It was SOOOO rich. But it was really delicious, and I am happy that I am getting back to baking. I used to bake every week and thought I wouldn't be able to anymore when I found out I was allergic to wheat and became vegan. This proves I can still bake! I just have to get the proportions right when dealing with egg replacers and gluten-free flour and stuff.0 -
Yummm! Now THAT'S a meal! I think I would have started with the cake and fit it all in

Both of those meals look to die for!0

Yep ..your order in definitely looks better than mine.
Too funny that you live in Kendall. We lived in the 'Towers of kendale Lakes' on the golf course. I think was there for 11 years. It was hubby's bachelor pad. Daughter went to Bent Tree elementary school...BOY were they strict there!! We left after hurricane Andrew...and after Pa Am folded. I still go to Shorty's by Dadeland every time I visit my mom in Pompano...gotta get me some of that corn on the cob swimming in butter! Funny...ate that probably once a week and never went over 121 pounds...hmmmmmmmm 0 -

Sarah, you will be back in the swing of things now that you're home 0 -
Today's OMAD, eaten around 6:30PM:
This was super tasty!
Huge bowl of zucchini noodles topped with nutballs (almonds, sunflower seeds, sun-dried tomatoes) and green "marinara" sauce (sunflower pate, spirulina, tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, shallots, and a date)
Huge bowl of my raw version of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey (frozen bananas blended with date syrup and cacao powder topped with chopped pecans)
Glass of red0 -
Oh my that "chunky Monkey" looks awesome.0

Cucumber and tomato salad
Flax crackers
Raw pecans dipped in date caramel
Young coconut
Glass of red
Yummy!

Looks yummy. I have no idea what date caramel is, but I can guess and I bet it's delicious. I love dates so very much... In fact they are a bit dangerous to have in the house as we eat them way too quickly!0
