Have fun missvita !!!!
Hey did you all read the post Here the secrete, good point!

purrr

aghh, went to the garden to finish my shoveling and it started raining, came home all wet...:grumble: weather has been like this the past couple days and it's forecasted to be alike all week long...:ohwell:

by the way i should celebrate 70 lost already, i was 195.3 this morning but didn't update my ticker cos 69 looks so sexy :laugh:

jacque, i'm really happy you are interested, i wish everyone would try to eat better foods not just less calories cos it's so so good for your health either you're someone fat or slim... here are a couple examples of how much i eat in a day, i don't log it as exact quantities or calories, but i have a raw diary on my forum that i visit and i share my menu with the others there... unfortunately it's all in Bulgarian and you won't understand a thing but you can try some English forum like this one: http://www.rawfoodsupport.com/list.php?12
it's real people sharing their experience from their life after they went raw, i have been following several diaries and then decided to do my own, as well... it's also good for you cos you get advice from others who have more experience...

Here is what I eat (random daily menus):
Menu for 14.06.2009
(08:30) apple
(10:30) 2 cups creamy spinach soup
recipe is here: http://www.rawfoodsupport.com/read.php?4,74669
(13:30) another 2 cups of the spinach soup cos i love it
(15:00) a big piece of coconut cream pie
recipe is here: http://rawgastronomy.blogspot.com/2008/04/coconut-cream-pie.html
(17:00) 2 pieces of flaxseed cracker with some mayo, rucola and 7 large green olives
(recipe for raw mayo is here: http://www.rawfoodsupport.com/read.php?4,122781
the crackers are made of milled flaxseeds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds,
rye, olive oil and a little water, dehydrated at 115F... one piece is about the size of a slice of
bread and 500+ calories but who cares)
(19:00) 2 yummy coconut cookies
recipe is here: http://glutenfreevegan.wordpress.com/2008/11/13/yummy-carob-coconut-cookies/
(21:30) 2 cups quinoa milk and another large piece of the coconut cream pie
(quinoa milk is made of presoaked 1/4 cup quinoa blended with 2 cups of water)

I don't eat so many sweets in a single day normally but loved that cake too much, I guess, the 2 pieces i had throughout the day equal to half the pie, so you can calculate the calories from the recipe ingredients... Besides, I was down about 2 pounds on the next morning after I ate all this :happy:


Menu for 19.06.2009
(11:30) 3 peaches
(13:30) salad made of 1 lettuce, 3 stalks of young onion and sprinkled with some olive oil
(15:30) a large piece of kiwi cake
i've given the recipe here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/47180-green-team?hl=kiwi+cake&page=5, not sure why the pictures are gone from photobucket
(18:30) 3 large green olives
(21:30) about 150 grams of mushrooms, dehydrated at 115F in a sauce of olive tepenade+olive oil
+ 2 "meatballs" made of flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, olive oil and soy sauce
+ 250 grams cherry tomatoes

That seems like a more humble menu, compared to the previous one, I probably didn't feel too hungry that day but if you only notice how much olive oil i've used (1 tablespoon = 120 calories), let alone the cake, it's still a whole lot of calories...


Menu for 21.06.2009

(09:00) 6 small apricots
(11:00) 2 "meatballs" + some cabbage salad
(16:00) 1 cucumber + 7 large green olives
(17:00) 1 "meatball" + 1 large tomato + 2 truffels
the truffels were about a walnut size, made of almonds, dates and carob powder,
rolled in sesame or coconut flakes
(18:00) another 2 truffels (loved them!)
(21:00) 2 cups raw pineapple juice
(22:00) 2 cups of my beloved spinach soup + 2 truffels + 3 large green olives



Menu for yesterday, 23.06.2009

(11:30) 3 kiwis
(12:30) a quarter cabbage with some squash hummus + 2 truffels
(16:30) 1/2 cup rye sprouts with a little blackstrap molasses
(18:30) 3 truffels
(22:30) 2 sesame crackers with a large tomato
(the crackers are similar to the other ones but more spicy, made of milled sesame, flaxseed,
sunflower seeds, onion, garlic and salt)

Seems like i eat the same things over and over again but I just found these recipes recently and loved them too much, once the first batch of meatballs or something is over, i want them again and again and "bake" me another batch... I'm still trying new stuff myself, so don't have lotsa recipes in my "uncookbook". If you don't like what I have on my menu, there are thousands of recipes all over the web that you can check out and will surely find something to fit your taste... if you don't mix the nuts, sprouts, fruit, veggies and seeds in some "dish", you are most likely going to be bored of the same taste over and over again, thats why i also try to uncook, rather than eat all products the way they are...

Purr,
Cool thanks for all the info, I am gonna start looking at the sites you recommended. i wish we can have some of your rain. We are melting in texas. temp as high as 103 today and have had no rain in sight. HaHAHA on the 69 I love that:laugh: Hey please share any of the recipes you like the most that would help alot. My son had decided a week ago he wanna to go veegan and I want to support him, I gave up red meat pretty much and now I am trying to decrease the chicken, so right now I am alternating my days but I did not realized how much I like meat and cheese until I tried to go without it. But I really felt a change in how I feel when the red meat was gone, it really does make a difference

good evenin' ~

Miss V ~ hey girly, have fun on your vacation in the sticks.... those are the best kind!! don't stress too much about the diet....be active as much as time allows, and hoping the 'bum' injury is only temporary! keep the water bottle filled! have a great time sweets!! can't wait to for your return and hear about it!!

Jacque ~ hope you are able to 'cool off'' some...this heat is a scorcher! forcast is to cool down next week here, prob be nice here while we are in Canada, figures! :grumble:

purrr ~ doin a little happy dance for ya!! - SEVENTY POUNDS!! YIPPY SKIPPY!! :drinker: what an accomplishment! i am so happy and proud of YOU!! hehe, 69! :bigsmile: i am most positive you are feeling mighty sexy now with your much slimmer body!! have you read from a raw food book/magazine or done all your research online? there is so much info out there. i was reading the forum you mentioned, and the 'meow' gal seems to be having many physical issues. i would say compared to you she is not eating enuf calories. i so agree with you purrr on the quality of the foods we consume. that is most important! do you have a dehydrator? i could very easily go without eggs, dairy. i am sure i would crave some meat dishes tho. i like most fish selections. i am going to try harder at eating clean. that seems like the best approach for me right now. i think of all the processed food in my cupboards/frig for my family....it disgusts me, and i am the one buying it for them. this is a more challenging time of year for me since my teenage boys are here more during the summer ( not in school). hmmmm...what to do, planning is the best thing for me, so will work on that too.

well, time to get some zzzz's. :yawn: hope everyone is having a good week...missin y'all.... check in and say hi and let us know how it's going! green team is needing some major support!! :flowerforyou:

Good morning all,
Welcome back purr, sounds like u had fun!
Purr- went to the sites you gave me, Wow so much info. Question I found this book the Raw Secrets online and thinking of going to try and find it. Have you read it? From what I read on line it appears to be good. If u have problem with #2 this really clean you out, have gone regularly since trying to go raw, And I am no where fully committed, but it really make you think about the crap in your body from the other food that for sure.
Well trying to get back into a routine, totallly got off track after that rough week with the Fam.
They say it about to hit in the 100's again today, I know that is also zapping the energy out of me

jacque509

HHAHAHA:laugh: Posted and realized I said welcome back Purr:laugh:
Try again:
Welcome back porka, it sounds like you had fun

porka29

Hi kellya, yes I saw that purrr is back with us and that our bud Jacque is having hard times. I hate bad times for our team, but you offered alot of good insight as you have recently been there. With that said, I really wanted to check in while on vac, I think I gained some approx 5 or more but we'll see. But not worried cause I did not stress about it. Glad you're hangin tough and hope we can all keep together through vac times!

jacque509

porka love the pic you look really pretty and relaxed

jacque509

I am gonna try to remember real names ok Christie

porka29

:laugh: my nic seems to make some folks uncomfortable, I was a bobble head when bf (porko) and I started these pet names, but certainly I my given name is good too! I was relaxed and as I said before I left, I really wanted a cute new pic.
