OOO meridith you just reminded me Black, green , white and oolong tea is great for killing your appetite
In the book "how green smoothies saved my life" it talks about how tea gets rid of your appetite and speeds up your metabolism
It is a powerhouse when combined with green smoothies

i drink plenty of green, white, and maté during the day, but try to avoid it late at night b/c it interferes with my sleep.

read it after i posted the msg :) it's funny how on paper 811 sounds the best, but it doesnt work for sooo many people. i tried really hard to make it work for me, but eventually had to realize that with my health issues, my body needs more fat/protein and waaayyyy less sugar

i've been cleansing lately, but in between the cleanses i eat way too many nuts (i'm addicted, once I start I can't stop), green smoothies w/ avo, spinach, lemon, coconut oil, green powder, hemp seeds, cucumber, stevia powder, cinnamon. I try to take a smoothie with me to work so i can drink through the night, but even then I'm still hungry. salads w/ various vegetables - dressing of olive oil, lemon, namo shoyu, garlic. green apples. try to avoid sugary fruits. I try to juice every day, but it doesn't usually work out. I juice maybe 3 or 4 times a week - beets, carrots, cucs, greens, etc.

I think my issue is too much fat and eating late at night.

are you exercising enough Jas?Are you sleeping enough?Are you hydrated enough?its all a balance not just the food side of things....

Start a food diary and write down everything you eat...get some more books,read up on different ways of eating raw,and experiment,this isnt working for you,so change it,and see how you go?:)

I used to binge quite a bit when I first tried raw. I wouldnt worry too much about it, its probably your body and mind just getting adjusted to a new lifestyle. The cravings gradually diminish over time, at least they have for me.
I have been addicted to dates all this week though : )
Hey as long as youre eating lots of fruit n veggies, how bad can it be really? It will get easier and your appetite will probably level out eventually.
