Re: Need advice on this raw diet +edit

try something like sunflower seed pate (made with sprouted sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seed or walnut... (curezone google it), and use it as a filling for chard leaf rolls.
This can taste very rich, and also fresh. Add strips of carrot, and whatever. Don't forget good fats. Avocado. Coconut oil. Sometimes just a spoonful will satisfy. Or make a raw lasagna, with zucchini, tomato sauce, and cashew 'cheese'.... When you make a tomato sauce with fresh and/or dried tomatoes and add a few dates it becomes heavenly.

If I was craving meat, I might make a good thick green 'soup' (raw) of blended kale, cilantro, parsley, whatever appeals, add olive oil, lemon, and avocado chunks, and cracked back pepper. Could even go all out and add a sauce of thinned-down sunflower pate, or some tahini.

And garlic. A lot of craving for meat, when a person is trying to cleanse and go 'raw' is, I believe, just old residues of toxicity leaving, and even parasites craving, and the thing to do is go at them with the alkalizing green. Give up red---go to green. Green = Go. Then the craving passes.

PS--Portabella mushrooms to me, taste like the closest thing to a really good piece of meat -which I don't eat- but better! So, I might chop up some soaked pecans and carrot, green onion, celery, make a kind of "stuffing" and have that with some slices of marinated mushroom. Marinate in ginger, tamari (or whatever the raw stuff is) garlic...I'm not a fan of 'all or nothing', and I think if I were you, and really got *hit hard* with a beef craving, and was afraid of folding, I'd saute the mushroom (cook it) and then have the raw stuffing, and tell myself I did good. And go back to raw, if that's what your heart is set on. But try it raw.... that's good too. Edit: I think dehydrators are good for people who really miss cooked food--they allow you to make things like mushroom or nut "burgers" or croquettes, and this can be a huge relief for people with crvings, esp. of meat. They satisfy a 'richness' and 'comfort' desire most of us in the west have had bred into the bone. Tweet
