First, let me say WOW!!!!!! Seriously....WOW!!! I had no idea people would react so severely to a truly honest question. Everyone is different. As you can see, I have lost well over 70lbs. I didn't do it by simply starving myself. I have been balancing my diet and working out. I was a bit busy so I rushed my entry a bit. But let me explain a bit further, I have been feeling a bit sluggish lately and have been trying to find a HEALTHY way to boost my energy and also cleanse my body. I believe I mentioned that in my original post. Some people suggested a master cleanse but that was too drastic for me. Based on what I've read, I thought the possibility of a mainly raw diet for a few days might do me some good. My apologies on the misleading headline as I fully intend to have other sources of protein and healthy fats.

Hmm, the biggest sources of vegetable protein can't be eaten raw, so I would not suggest a raw diet. Take a look at your list. At least half of those need to be cooked.
Of course, it's pretty hard to do much damage in just one week as long as you are getting adequate water and not truly starving. But if you try to eat only raw foods you will likely be lacking in protein. If you are going to do just vegetables and fruit, you will need to include beans and some source of fat if you want to get adequate protein and fat.
DO NOT eat raw turkey though. Salmonella is no freakin joke! :sick:0 -
If I eat SIX avocados...and FIVE cups of boiled black beans, I'll have 2635 calories, which is close enough to my 2767 target.
It's over in carbs, real close in fat, and way short on protein.
So, does anyone have a recipe that uses six avocados and five cups of boiled black beans? And any suggestions for side dishes (of no more than 132 calories, of course)?
132 calories of mushroom gravy.
BOOM! Done!
Thanksgiving is...... saved?0 -

I don't know, I used to have a similar mindset to the OP (eat really light / low Cal for the week leading up to an event and then pig out and indulge my head off) and it only led me to an eating disorder. To OP : I know everyone is different, and you should do what works for you, but I personally feel better if I eat good, balanced portions of foods leading up to, say, Thanksgiving and then I don't feel as bad about myself the day after because I didn't binge my head off. Either way, I hope you can enjoy your holiday:flowerforyou: (I spent last thanksgiving bawling my eyes out because I felt so guilty for overindulging as a result of depriving myself leading up to it...)
the thing is- LOTS of people eat light to account for some overeating on Thanksgiving- but they tend to do it in a way that's simply MODERATING what they already eat- not wacking out entire food groups.
It's TOO severe of an effort. Eating light/lowER calories for the week- is perfectly reasonable- people do it all the time.0 -

You could mix them and make a dip to eat with raw veggies. Have a side of spaghetti squash w/ mushroom gravy.
You might try replacing some of the black beans with dry roasted edamame to get more protein. 14g of protein and 9g carb per 30g of edamame. Probably wouldn't be good in the dip though, but maybe as an appetizer.0 -
yeah that would've been well and fine if I did it right. Most days last year, I averaged 200 calories (yes, for the whole DAY) that's smaller than one if my meals now. Thank goodness for recovery (and finally coming to my senses)I don't know, I used to have a similar mindset to the OP (eat really light / low Cal for the week leading up to an event and then pig out and indulge my head off) and it only led me to an eating disorder.

I didn't do it by simply starving myself. I have been balancing my diet and working out. I was a bit busy so I rushed my entry a bit.

I believe I mentioned that in my original post. Some people suggested a master cleanse but that was too drastic for me. Based on what I've read, I thought the possibility of a mainly raw diet for a few days might do me some good. My apologies on the misleading headline as I fully intend to have other sources of protein and healthy fats.

You could definitely survive without 100 grams of protein- but why would you want to!!!
