I need to try that this weekend. I just had a wonderful salad - romaine with tomato and sprouts. I blended avocado and pinneapple salsa into a nice dressing for it. Added some sunflower seeds for crunch. Nice! I need to try that this weekend. I just had a wonderful salad – romaine with tomato and sprouts.

I read your blog and saw that you were having some cravings. The biggest thing is to not beat yourself up about it. We are always learning and growing....even if it seems like we are taking a step back at times! BTW...I watched the last rocky movie and just love this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1tXhJniSEc I do hope to come visit you sometime soon. I also read a lot of harley's posts on 30-bananas-a-day forum and youtube...he is a big motivation for me. As an aside - are you eating enough leafy green veggies? Maybe that is why you getting cravings? Make sure you are loading up on nice leafy greens!!!! Hey Darrick! I read your blog and saw that you were having some cravings.

You are inspiring to me....when I read your blog title about your 30day raw challenge i said to myself, "that sounds like Ravi, the type of guy that practices CANI, one who keeps learning and growing no matter what. It is so great to know you and watch you grow in so many areas. I have had a few challenges on Raw lately. I Know in my heart that fruitarian is the most nutritious and healthy path for me. So if i succomb to cravings at times, i practice forgiveness and know I'll be back to what is right. Like you I did notice that my cravings for cooked food are usually about the same whether I am eating cooked food or Raw food. Sometimes I feel that if I eat the cooked food cravings, they will go away, this is a totally illusion driven by the addictive nature of the cooked food demons!! However, its all a journey and I am always doing the best I can with the knowledge i have. I do wish i would never eat cooked food again, that would be sooooo amazing if I could push a button on my head and was 100percent pure fruitarian for life. We have so many years of conditioning to unlearn. I am soon to meet many raw fooders here in SE Asia...Harley is heading to Chanthiburi next week for one month! I can hang with him and other leaders in the Raw world and regain some massive 'momentum'.... Bring your bicycle if you decide to come too, or you can simply buy one for about 300us in Chanthiburi, We can show you where. peace Brother!!! Darrick RAVI!!!

Yes - I am amazing at how good it feels to be raw. I still have craving now and then, but it is totally manageable. Still am not set on keeping this up beyond 30-days, but I already know that my eating habits will be forever changed for the better! BTW...any recipe tips I should try? What is your favorite soup?

With all the shifts you've experienced in just the first 11 days, I suspect this "challenge" may become a <i>lifestyle</i> for you. :D Blended soups got me through a very looooooong winter here. LOVE the idea of throwing in some chunky salsa to the mix. Thanks! Sounds as if your Challenge isn’t presenting too much of a challenge for you.
