You should start growing your own food, Get a garden going...

[thrivesurvive]

Totally. That's my next big project. :)

My Fridge: 4 blocks raw feta, organic no-sulfite chardonnay, 7 avocados, dozen free-range organic eggs, safflower oil, 12 organic garlic bulbs, raw chilis...looks like a contrast girly!!! Your Fridge: good grief!!! Bravo!!! ...For me and me alone that's renunciation: I have to party!  ;-)

Wow, momma! Sounds like you have your fats covered. :)

How would I store something like vegan ice cream (vice cream). How long does it last? Thanks

Thanks for the tip. I had 6 pineapples so I lined them up in a dish rack, which worked perfectly. It seems my jicama gets slimy in the fridge. Not sure yet what will happen on the counter. I guess I should eat it before anything happens. :)

On 80/10/10 I can eat as many mangos as I want without worry, but the avocados are another story. I limit myself to half or one a day. I mash it into my kale salad, along with diced mango to make a creamy salad dressing. (I'm getting hungry thinking about it!). I know that eating more than that will easily put me over 10% fat, even if I eat no other overt fats, but I prefer the avocado to oils because at least it's a whole food. I didn't gain weight on high fat raw vegan diet though.

I think as long as you eat enough food that is low in fat, you an still have a bit of nut mylk, but even a little will increase your fat quite a bit. I have been tracking my food intake on fitday. I don't know how accurate their database is, but even 1 tbsp of oil puts me over 10% for the day. Regarding food combining, he says have as much fruit as you can eat, followed by as many veggies and greens as you care for.

Haha! Wow. socks and drywall!

Thanks Alexis!!

I thought that there would be less calories in nut milk, but it makes sense now that you'd only lose the fiber and not the fat calories. Bummer, that sucks because I love nut milk and I feel like they give me a lot of nutrients. Maybe there's a way for me to keep them in on 811 if I make that like my fat for the day?

Also, I'm curious if there's certain types of fruits or meals to eat at certain times during the day and if he talks about food combining at all?
