Agreed, raw and local would be tough in most climates. <br /><br />Happy in NV: Thanks for the input. On Day 7 I'll share my own amusing restaurant experience. Stay tuned!<br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-58112387733543487572009-11-15T18:34:56.595-08:002009-11-15T18:34:56.595-08:00Eating raw in restaurants is quite easy.

You order a main salad and anything that you don't want to eat in that (if you can't order it your way), you put on the bread plate.<br /><br />Order up some extra beets (not cooked - the pickled kind if you have to). Order a side of coleslaw.<br /><br />Order cottage cheese and put some of your cole slaw on it.<br /><br />You get a side order of juice or a fresh fruit cup - you've got your veggies; fruit, and protein.<br /><br />Usually if I eat with others, I just 'trade' with them....HAPPY IN NEVADAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214341069801731994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-66718077159974227122009-11-15T15:59:43.577-08:002009-11-15T15:59:43.577-08:00Thank goodness you don't have to eat "loc...Thank goodness you don't have to eat "local" at the same time you are eating "raw".

And actually, that barf-colored smoothie was quite good. Lacking in aesthetic appeal, yes, but otherwise not too bad. <br /><br />Laura, sorry to push you towards (but at least not over) the edge!! :) Happy to help with your question from Day 2, no worries at all. <br /><br />And regarding being out socializing: on Day 7 we'll see one situation where I went out to eat with friends, but other than that all of my meals were at home. As it turns out, going 100% raw is a real challenge at most restaurants. <br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-62871365879814545272009-11-15T14:40:39.033-08:002009-11-15T14:40:39.033-08:00Yeah, my stomach isn't quite right today, and ...Yeah, my stomach isn't quite right today, and the picture of the smoothie just about put me over the edge. But mind won out over (spewing) matter. Thanks for the update and for the response about frozen food/applesauce back on day 2. <br /><br />Are you going to take your experiment on the road in the next two days? Just wondering how a raw food diet works out when you're out socializing.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106829729260000363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-617824986705089722009-11-15T13:19:17.463-08:002009-11-15T13:19:17.463-08:00I don't feel sorry for him either.
I know how ...I don't feel sorry for him either.<br />I know how wonderful it FEELS to eat a raw diet. I know the benefits that I myself - have yielded. <br /><br />I also know that even if barf colored smoothies look gross, they can also be really delicious. <br /><br />Mental clarity and how LIGHT and energetic I've felt on the raw diet, are things that keep me from wallowing in deprivation at cooked food. Switching back to cooked foods reminds me of how heavy, and also mentally clogging it CAN be.<br /><br />So, pity in this case is hardly needed. The pity I feel, perhaps - is for others who haven't even given it a shot to know what it's like. Even if they choose to do whatever else feels more right to them after the fact.<br /><br />:D<br /><br />My .02.<br /><br />Keep up the awesome work, Dan!<br /><3 Light and love!

Not at all. I signed up for this "self-inflicted" experiment (love that choice of works Kx3!) of my own free will. <br /><br />It's been more than worth it: this entire week has been a fascinating and truly novel experience, and it's been gratifying to see so much interest and so many comments from readers. <br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-28406665215919985932009-11-15T07:21:40.351-08:002009-11-15T07:21:40.351-08:00I don't feel sorry for you.

Laura should be taunting you with delicious cooked meals every night. Better yet, she should host a dinner party and have people bring over all sorts of yummy dishes. Your suffering is what entertains us!JCShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07120939117292223815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-74737932999499433162009-11-15T07:17:14.142-08:002009-11-15T07:17:14.142-08:00I can't say that I feel sorry for you--after a...I can't say that I feel sorry for you--after all, this experiment is self-inflicted.
