So a weekend in the mountains doing snowboard backpacking is a tough time to eat raw, I did it, but so much dehydrated food does not even seem raw. Anyway, I am going to do my best to reconstruct the weekend below.

 

Was on the mountain from Saturday at about 1PM to Sunday around noon. Backpacked up to the Tilly Jane cabins on Mt Hood then snowboarded when possible back down in the morning. Also took an hour on the side of the cliff to rope up and do self arrest training with an ice ax.

I forgot to mention, I weighed in at the gym the other day at 164 1/2 lbs, so almost 10 lbs up from the day I went raw (after my fast).

 

I don't look 10 lbs heavier, so maybe I am denser?

 

I actually think my arms are getting smaller, legs too. More cut, but smaller.

 

I need to start taking measurements I think, could be a perception problem.

I also have been eating really badly the last 4 days (still raw, just not enough and not a lot of good stuff). And I think I determined that as much as I might think I want dried fruit, I do not.

Honestly I actually like calamyrna(SP?) figs more when dried. Surely they aren't as good for you but they sure are yummy. As for the purple ones they taste much better fresh than dried.

Your right about that potter, these things are damn near addictive. I guess there are worse things I could be eating, and I suppose once I really overdo it my body will tell me so.

 

By the way, I met my match on greens today. Dandelion greens! Dang those things are bitter, using 2-3 quarts worth of them was too much!

Oh my gosh, I had a Courtney salad at Proper Eats last week... only there

were added olives(not raw!), and pears.

Let me tell you how violently ill I got.(just a few hours, nausea vomiting.)

I can't mix fruit with veggies like that. (unless they are salad veggies

like cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.)

 

 

I should have not consumed the kalamata olives, I knew I was in for it.

 

Anyhow.. so sad.. my foods have been weird ever since.

Oh no! You should try the "Isaac" salad.

 

It is a carrot ginger dressing, has no seeds or nuts or fruit, and plenty of veggies.

 

Olives aren't raw? Dang...
