I'll discuss this more in my conclusions post, which should be up in a few days. <br /><br />And I'm happy to be a guinea pig for readers as long as they get value out of it!<br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-65495584065413246102009-11-16T16:08:57.653-08:002009-11-16T16:08:57.653-08:00I also am just catching up on your trial, and alth...I also am just catching up on your trial, and although I doubt I could go 100% raw, I am thinking of doing a raw breakfast trial.<br /><br />Thanks so much for being the guinea pig! :)Liz T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10564960460513041752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-6317585654197199382009-11-16T14:34:21.261-08:002009-11-16T14:34:21.261-08:00Sara, that site is a great resource!

Regarding smoothies, they can be made of so many different foods that it might be hard to generalize about getting sick of them. My mistake was probably in sticking to a too-limited range of foods. Next time. <br /><br />Finally, I'm so glad you're enjoying the series. The traffic here is been higher than ever lately, so clearly this subject has struck a chord with readers. Only one day to go!<br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-52178246101993332642009-11-16T12:13:52.316-08:002009-11-16T12:13:52.316-08:00I just caught up on your Trial posts, Dan, and I m...I just caught up on your Trial posts, Dan, and I must say I admire your stick-to-it-a-tiveness! Especially in light of the smoothie burn-out. Are smoothies the only alternative? Are there other raw options such as making a raw lasagna or something? Or am I way off base? <br /><br />I mean, I like smoothies, but I don't know that I could handle more than one in a day. <br /><br />As an aside, the little conversation snippets between you and Laura are entirely charming!The Diva on a Diethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336939733516236525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-63950285513375703322009-11-16T11:42:37.875-08:002009-11-16T11:42:37.875-08:00I wish I had been paying attention sooner.

Stay tuned!<br /><br />Heather: This is a great insight, and it's one of the reasons why anyone who wants to lose weight should seriously consider exploring raw foods. It is so easy to eat fewer calories on this diet without suffering from hunger. I'll discuss this in more depth when I write up my conclusions. Thanks for adding your thoughts. <br /><br />And to answer your question, no, I wasn't explicitly tracking calories; I'm really trying to test out the logistics of going raw and see what it feels like to sample the diet over a brief period. <br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-35140998702941275182009-11-16T09:27:10.785-08:002009-11-16T09:27:10.785-08:00Interesting series.

I ask because I analyzed your intake for this day and it came out at around 1300 calories, with calcium and iron running low. If you've been eating that few calories all week, it may be some of the cause of the symptoms you listed.Heather Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11525480527313698739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-80645089497306791772009-11-16T05:48:01.183-08:002009-11-16T05:48:01.183-08:00I've forgotten when you were to run your 10k r...I've forgotten when you were to run your 10k race--if it's already occurred, how did you do?<br /><br />I realized I would struggle most with the concept of so many smoothies. I'm probably the only person in the US who gags over a smoothie but the texture just gets me. I'd have to go with the tired jaw scenario and just chew, chew, chew!edj3https://www.blogger.com/profile/11137939126171451654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-36908932780171150712009-11-16T04:05:51.247-08:002009-11-16T04:05:51.247-08:00"...pain focuses the mind...I should hit my h..."...pain focuses the mind...I should hit my head on something every morning before I sit down to write..."<br /><br />Boy, am I glad that's not posted on <a href="http://quickwritingtips.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Quick Writing Tips..</a><br /><br />MikeV<br /><a href="http://dadcooksdinner.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">DadCooksDinner</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625626893154331830noreply@blogger.com
