Comments on: Worried About Back Pedaling on Raw Food Diet http://vanboughner.com/2008/01/21/back-pedaling/ Raw Vegan and Marathon Runner Tue, 07 Sep 2010 10:51:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Van http://vanboughner.com/2008/01/21/back-pedaling/#comment-19 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 16:32:29 +0000 http://vanboughner.com/2008/01/21/back-pedaling/#comment-19 Thanks Wendy and Suvine for your comments. Wendy, it is heartening to hear I'm not the only one who frets over the binges. I'm glad to hear you are purchasing Dr. Graham's book, I highly recommend it. I just keep re-reading parts of it over again until it sticks. I found the recipes a little overwhelming at first, because there are so many in the seasonal meal plan. But then I decided just to focus on one season and make a list of the fruits and vegetables needed. After a while it didn't seem like so much work. In fact, all I really needed to do was dive in a try a few recipes. They are very simple, most of them, and I've already started creating my own combinations. I actually find that my own combinations are better, because they are made from my own favorites. Like the day I tried combining a little lemon in my orange juice, and threw in small chunks of kiwi fruit (as described in the post above). It was yummy! The best is that once you find a fruit or combination you really like, you can eat as much as you want! Cheers! - Van Thanks Wendy and Suvine for your comments.

I have been making the raw transition for two and a half months now. Each time I fall off the wagon and eat cooked food, I get so discouraged. To read that, over time, your "binges" have lessened and lessened over time gives me hope that, with some patience, this will become effortless. Also, you are the millionth person who has mentioned 80/10/10. Thanks to you, I am now off to Amazon to finally purchase the book.
