Today was a great day. The weather was perfect and I went rollerblading in the morning. In the afternoon I took a bike ride and washed my car.
It's really funny because I had my "splurge" last night -- the raw chocolate tart that I know was fattening, but when I weighed myself this morning I had LOST a half pound since yesterday. And I weighed myself after eating 1000 grams of watermelon, so I really lost more weight than that! Go figure. At least I didn't gain weight from eating a dessert!
So anyhow, here's what I ate today:
Breakfast: watermelon (1000 grams- 300 cals)
handful of raw nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, cashews)
Lunch: big salad (sunflower sprouts, clover sprouts, lettuce, lentil sprouts, carrots, dulse, onions, 1/2 an avocado, olives, lemon/flax oil/olive oil dressing)
Snack: an apple
Dinner: sauteed veggies (onion, garlic, cauliflower, green beans, zucchini)
1 cup pinto beans

I've been thinking that you are definitely working on the raw lifestyle. It is hard to do that and CR. Major nutrients are not being attended to.
Look towards Erin's blog for some insight

They have similarities but they are not the same at all. The amount of sugar that you are ingesting will have a huge effect on your blood glucose levels and insulin. Your teeth may start to feel it too. I know it's very natural, but it is not easily sustainable. (I speak from direct experience as a former 100% raw vegan..I'm not just blowing smoke here)
I realize the Raw 'theory' is that you get your protein from vegetable sources because of the amino acid profiles and that the fact that the larger, more muscular animals in the kingdom eat only fruits and vegetables..but I would definitely work on upping your traditional protein sources any way that you can. Your young, growing body really needs it.
Take care

Thanks, Deborah. I appreciate your thoughts and I am open to change. I am trying to find balance. I used to be 100% raw and ran into a lot of problems. One of the major problems was that my body became used to running on extremely small amounts of food and maintaining a normal weight. I was at some points eating nothing more than an apple and a salad per day and doing fine on it. So then when I started to eat more, and when I added cooked food back in, my weight went through the roof. I do want to remain vegan and the reason I'm eaing so many fruits and veggies is because they are the lowest in calories and highest in nutrients. Plus, at college, that's about all there is that I can eat due to the Celiac disease and my being a vegan. Even if I wasn't a vegan, I wouldn't touch their gross meat that's not even organic.
