oregonisaac Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 eek! Your ideal balanced raw vegan diet should really be50-ish% fruits40% greens/sproutsand the rest nuts/seeds/dehydrated foods.. less than 10% of yourdaily intake. I would say slow way down on the nut intake... you can really messyour digestive system up! Fresh IS best.Wow, it has been 4 months since I went raw...and now I agree with this statement 100%! I would even go so far to say this is the ideal diet period, not just raw vegan, unless your body chemistry is messed up from eating other diets and then perhaps you will progress to this diet? Hard to say... I think at the time I thought something like... "Sure Courtney, how could you know what is best for me..." Just for fun, today I ate: 16 oz green smoothie (1 banana and a bunch of kale w/ a little water)2 lara bars1 lb green salad w/ extra veggiesa sectioned banana wrapped in kale leaves1 carton blueberriescustom blossoming lotus smoothie (fresh apple juice, kale, blueberry, mango and pineapple)16 oz carrot juice2 oz wheat grass shot2 apples2 avocados2 red peppers Feeling pretty damn amazing. I think one more green smoothie might go down before bedtime...but no more banana, I gotta watch that whole potassium sodium ratio thing...maybe I need some celery in this one to get a little sodium...

I have not seen you on the boards lately.I am happy to see you are still raw and that it is working for you. Work, life, love, the usual. I think I got sick of blogging my food all the time, became a chore, and just quit going online for this stuff for a while. I am going to try to get back to the boards though, such a great community and resource! How are you? How have you been? Funny to use my blog as a chat session...

Harley Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I hear you about life getting very busy. I have been very busy myself with my new job, cycling, travelling for business and working on my house.This is a great board and the only one I go to now because of my limited time. How has the weather been out there in Portland? I don't watch tv so I really don't know what is happening weather wise around the country.Are you still with the fire dept?

How has the weather been out there in Portland? I don't watch tv so I really don't know what is happening weather wise around the country.Are you still with the fire dept? The weather is absolutely fantastic! So great! I have biked about 20 miles so far today around town and from home to work and it is beautiful and warm, mid-70s I would guess. I have never been with the fire department, that was a misquote if you read it online or on one of the news broadcasts. I was TRAINING for the fire department, and I got through all 4 stages and although I am eligible now but I most likely will not be selected for some time. Currently I am an IT manager.
