TodayI thought I'd eat less fat than I have been. I've been at around 287
for awhile, and since I'm not tracking everything I eat, it could be
that I'm consuming too many calories or too much fat. Since I was
having a nut burger for lunch (high in fat), I had a fruit smoothie for
breakfast and another for dinner. I ran out of greens to use for a
green smoothie so I tried putting a cucumber in one of them. It wasn't
bad because cucumbers are mild, but I definitely detected a "green"
taste in the smoothie. My second smoothie had coconut water in it. I
love coconut water so much I wish I could drink it everyday. The only
reason I don't is because I don't know what to do with the meat! I hate
to waste it. Does anyone have any coconut meat recipes? I don't just
want to eat dehydrated slices all the time (although those are yummy).
Someone asked why Felicia soaked the nuts and seeds. Well,
Juliano says in his Uncook Book that he soaks nuts simply to achieve a
creamy texture when blending. He doesn't mention nutrients or
digestion. And about the black beans: we bought them already sprouted
from Whole Foods, so they were soft enough to use without soaking them.
And hey- thanks for the kind comments! I'm happy to know my raw food adventures are motivating and helpful to other people.
