I was just about to tell you about Christine at the Raw Project and saw she had already posted a comment. As you probably know, she’s been eating mostly raw for a while now!

You came up with some great ideas!

Ooh I like the idea of mushrooms instead of meat.
Lettuce wraps are always all sorts of delicious!

I really like that sound of those raw mushroom tacos. Cool!
As for triggers, you know, spicy seasoning (chili powder, even cumin), hot sauce, are causes for GI upset in a lot of people. Also, our brother in law can’t tolerate vinegar.

As tough as the raw food diet is going for you now, since you have only 2 days left, try making food very bland – leave out the spices, just use herbs?

I think you’re doing a great job. IT’s tough giving up food we love and you’re so right, when it doesn’t taste good, we’d just rather go without.

I love your adventurous spirit in trying raw! If olives are raw (which I thin you said they aren’t?), then I could do raw, I love love olives! Gives me my salt fix

Wow you are awesome. Raw tacos sound amazing, but I would miss warm food too – I could never do a raw food diet!

I love mushrooms! I am thinking that a raw diet is definitely an acquired taste! Sounds like you are understanding what is affecting your body. That is a positive!

Nope, Diet Coke is not raw because of the processing and sweetener, sorry! The tacos look great, Ani’s walnut taco nut “meat” would and Kristen’s hemp nacho “cheez” would rock with those!

These is definitely an adjustment into a raw diet, a year ago eating the large amount of raw veggies I do today would have caused a lot of discomfort. For me, the adjustment was totally worth it for energy and other improvements in the digestion area. I can’t comment on dairy since I don’t eat it, but you’d need more than 7 days for your digestive system to adjust to the increased raw foods and to test health benefits.
