Hey Taylor,

It's great to see you're so excited for 811rv, it is an adventure! First
off I will say that juices are not a whole food, so no worries if you
don't' like juice, it's not an ideal food anyway, definitely skip it, but
smoothies are pretty good, but just make them as you go as
nutrients will get oxidized, they don't "keep" too well.

You will want to read Dr. Graham's book The 80 10 10 Diet really
well, as it is somewhat of a paradigm shift in thinking. We don't limit
calories per se, we go for ENOUGH calories from raw fruit and greens
so that we are properly nourished. This is how a raw vegan can
thrive and do things like running, which is the way to go for sure!

Also, remember peanut butter isn't really raw, right? So, skip the pb
and get some organic bananas, oranges, dates, etc and go to town
after you have figured out by your body weight and activity how many
calories your body truly needs (the book outlines this also).

Hope you enjoy your journey and keep us updated. We are all
seeking great vibrant health on this path and it comes one day at a
time....all the best.
