Raw Food Diet - Day 10 (Blog)

I used to juice 1/2 head of celery a day when on this eating plan. It helped make blended salads taste yummier.

2. Sometimes it helps to make a "sauce" to put over bananas or other cut fruit. I love lots of fresh squeezed orange juice over sliced bananas (even those against juicing usually allow orange juice because it still contains a lot of pulp). You can also blend blueberries or blackberries and put that on bananas or pineapple or apple. It gives both fruits a different flavor, and adds to the variety of dishes you can create.

I did followed a diet very close to this twice in 2007 for 10 and 11 days each, so I don't have long-term experience with it. I've been transitioning to a vegan raw diet for 1.5 years now, and I find that a more flexible, mostly raw diet that contains plenty of avocado seems to work best for me and is something that I can maintain without feeling deprived.

I have found that Raw diet results in energy level increase of atleast 500%.

Atleast while giving a speech at TM. -)

But overall , i would like to continue even if i have to eat 25 bananas a day.

Thanks for letting me know. Due to the New Zealand domain name, it's probably a geo-targeted ad, so most visitors won't see it. The Adsense login page is down now, but when it comes back online, I'll add that URL to the blocked list.
