Get more carbohydrates from low-fat fruit. Buy a 40-pound case of bananas per week for each of you. Buy some other fruit to supplement those calories. I eat last week's bananas because they ripen for about a week after I buy them. Durianrider, Harley Johnstone's YouTube username, talks about this all the time. Get your carbohydrates so that you don't binge on bad food. We eat much food on this diet because it is low in calories.

You said at http://www.vegsource.com/talk/raw/messages/100036401.html, "My legs & butt look like a normal sized woman's but my fat belly looks like it belongs on a 6'5 pub crawler. Apple belly deluxe in other words." Low-fat fruit like bananas will help this. Use some of the calories in exercising and weight lifting. You can sculpture your muscles and lose your fat.

Doug Graham doesn't recommend juices because they are not whole foods because the fiber is missing. Whole foods are foods with all of their parts intact, not removed by a juicer or denatured by cooking.

The top of page 27 of The 80/10/10 Diet writes about cellulose and other difficult-to-digest or even indigestible fibers in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collards, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage. They can be eaten in their young and tender state. The more we eat this insoluble fiber, the more we put a load on our organs of digestion and elimination. They may scratch and scrape our delicate digestive lining as they pass through the digestive tract. Reread chapter 1 of The 80/10/10 Diet book.

Raw food is the easiest diet for lazy people. Cut and eat. When your husband comes home, go to the refrigerator or your boxes of ripe fruit that doesn't need refrigeration and start eating. Peel a banana and eat. Pick a leaf off of a head of lettuce and eat. Peel an orange and eat. Cut a tomato into fourths or eighths and eat.

To warm up, exercise. For example, do jumping jacks. You will get warm and get your exercise at the same time.
