Christopher, we've basically had raw breakfasts and lunches for several years now. It's the supper where we go wrong. We have great intentions of a simple homemade root vegetable soup for supper, but in this cold it has lead to bread with butter and fatty desserts. I am ashamed to say that but it's true.

Breakfasts, we eat liberally of organic apples, regular oranges and regular bananas.

Lunch (which we want to be our biggest meal of the day) is always a green salad (either lambs lettuce, herb salad or romaine, the best we can get from the supermarket) with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, cut up broccoli & cauliflower, organic carrots, sometimes red cabbage or beetroot or radishes, depending on what looks decent in the supermarket and what is available. All raw.

I drink carrot juice (1 cup) at 10:00 a.m. and another cup at 3:00 a.m.

Where we fail horribly is when my husband gets home from work. It's cold, he's tired, and only once have we had success to eat a raw supper of pineapple. We were miserable that night but the next morning we felt fantastic. But when you're in the middle of the night part, it feels like it's going to go on forever. Often we end up "going over the road" (that means over to the convenience store, and bingeing on awful stuff like Ritz Crackers and cheese spreads!) I know you're rolling your eyes now but I am being completely honest. So we do 2 meals of stellar eating only to sabotage ourselves with fatty stuff.

I appreciate your reply so much, Christopher. I have more to say (about what happened to you at that forum) but want to get this out to you for now. More will follow later today. Thank you immensely for your thoughts and help.
