I so liked what Brandi Rollins, author of "Raw Foods on a Budget", and "Confessions of an East Coast Raw Vegan" is offering...a FREE 2 - 3 month program on how to eat raw on a budget! I also want to pass this on to my readers as well. You can find out all the details to register and also read why Brandi is making this extremely generous offer by clicking on this link below:

I Am Proud to Say I Ate All Day; Or, Whatever it Takes!
What Did I Eat?????
Breakfast:
2 bananas with raw crunchy almond butter, shredded coconut and cinnamon (after a nice run)
32 ounces of lemon water
Lunch:
salad with romaine, purple cabbage, carrot, daikon, sprouts and 1/2 avocado with dulse flakes, nutritional yeast and olive oil
Dessert:
3 - 4 rolled dates with coconut
Snacks:
1/2 cup cashews
1/4 cup "Go Take a Hike!" raw trail mix
Dinner:
bowl of Seaweed Chowder
Dessert:
bowl of Organic Nectars vanilla fudge raw ice cream
12 ounces water
OK, readers, I did not stop eating today! Why? I am finally completing my book proposal (yes, it has to do with the raw lifestyle) and I am so committed to getting this done now that I will do whatever it takes! to be complete. So, as I sat here and wrote, I kept dealing with necessary diversions and writer's 'angst' by walking into my kitchen 3,000 times to eat. I don't think I was ever really hungry any of those times except for the first, this morning after my run. I completely knew what I was doing, and you know what, I chose it. It's whatever it takes right now; so be it! I just hope you don't have to come roll me out of my doorway by the time I actually finish this book! Hey, my friend Karen Ranzi just got her book, "Creating Healthy Children" published and has been on a book tour, and she managed to maintain her beautiful and lean body throughout...how????? I am going with the "food as my muse" theory; the one I just made up! I so appreciate my humanity in all of it. I've had plenty of days where I was so submerged in a project that I barely ate. I trust my body to honor this process just like it does all others.
Do you trust the ebb and flow of your beautiful relationship with food? Please write in and share when you actually embraced nonstop eating!
So, you are so so lucky today, dear readers, as I have two links to share with you.
The first is from "The Daily Raw Inspiration", from Jinjee, at http://thegardendiet.com/

"I have been thinking for a while now about how I want to change my diet. I feel like I need a change, some kind of guidelines to get me eating healthier. Do I need to do a green smoothie fast? Should I go back to eating only between noon and 6? Should I cut out salt? Should I make a menu plan? As I'm not feeling like putting that much head-space and time in to the question, the perfect solution for a diet plan hit me this morning on awakening: "Eat to feel good". A few days ago I was tempted to buy a really yummy raw cappuccino ice cream that I know makes me feel like a slug. I rejected the idea on the basis that I want to feel good. And I do feel good right now. And why should I eat anything that will make me feel less good! That's no treat, really. Treats that make me feel great and in reality taste the best are my favorite fruits like raspberries and cherimoyas, orange juice, and green smoothies. I am happy with this simple and easy-to-remember new guideline for maintaining a higher standard of eating: Eat to feel good!In Joy!Jinjee"
Beautiful, Jinjee; thank you!
The second is a real treat from "The Raw Life Health Show," with Paul Nison. This episode has his lovely wife Andrea teaching us how to make a raw BLT. This one I am going to make; check it out. My mouth was watering...
