I am 5'3" and my body weight as of today is 178lbs. It should be in the range of 130's. When I eat less/very early at night, I wake up feeling fresh and with no stomach issues. My plan was to start doing it from yesterday, so I tried but I got hungry in the evening so I had some watermelon juice. I faster for 13 hours…

Yeah even I might bring back beans in my diet. May be stick to 1 cup a day initially to track. That way even if I miss by greens on some days, I would still be good nutrition wise.

Yeah I am planning to give a try to sprouted garbanzo bean hummus this weekend. I had been eating beans regularly before I started on raw food and since I have always been a vegetarian, it gave my body necessary nutrients. Not that raw food doesn't provide necessary nutrition, but last week there were days where I missed…

Yeah I like steam cooked beans. But I was under impression that steam cooking is not a part of raw diet. I will give it a try. I miss eating beans a lot.

Even I do cheat sometimes out of craving even though I try to control most of it. Luckily I got away my coffee craving right on the first day I started this diet.

Hats off to your journey!! You are an inspiration!!

Lol.... I would be having about 8-10 oz in the evening... so may be I should be okay. Thanks!!! :smile:

I have breakfast around 8:30 am after working out, lunch around 11:30 am and I need some hot drink tea/coffee around 3:00pm to concentrate on work. Only time…

I love white potatoes and don't like sweet potatoes either. But to get used to it, I tried making baked chips (in oven) of sweet potaoes with paprika and loved it. You will find the recipe for it on youtube if you want to try it out.

I am in the same situation as yours and was planning to post the thread some day. Even I have to lose 50 pounds in total and my present size is 36C. Had lost about 18lbs 3 months back and did see the difference in band size but not the cup size. Am hoping it to reduce when I reach the goal. When I start putting on weight…

I am starting this on Monday and wanted to know how do you guys eat the beans... I mean should it be soaked and boiled or just soaked in water for 8 hours? My guess is boiling might reduce the nutrients from the beans. Not sure though.
