My first thoughts are:
Can I drink tea? (Yes, but only heated to a certain temperature - lukewarm really)
What exactly is the proper temperature that food can be heated to & still be considered RAW? (118˚) What about things on the menu named "Save the Tuna salad"& sushi - is there really tuna in it? (no) Can I heat something up & then cool it down to less than 118 & still consider it Raw? (definitely not!) Is almond mylk ok? (only if it's not pasteurized - pretty easy to make it yourself I found out here)
Can I eat as many raw fruits & veggies & nuts as I like? (yes)
Is raw chocolate acceptable? (yes)
Can you freeze things then let them warm back up & still be considered raw? (yes)
So far I love that after 3 days I haven't been feeling low energy or hungry - quite the opposite - so much food is available & so tasty. Though it seems like a raw, vegan diet might be really restrictive I am astounded what can be created out of simple food.
I also have to admit - I'm down 1 pound after 3 days of eating this way & my digestion is easy - so I feel really great. Light & energetic & satisfied.
Admittedly having meals created for you with the www.healthyfunkyfoods.ca 30 day challenge makes it pretty easy...but what about if I want to continue after? I will definitely need to learn a few things.
Yesterday I learned that I love the 'Save the Tuna' sushi - no rice, no fish, but it's terrific & the sauce is really good - tastes salty & strong. Fresh veggies makes it crunchy & fresh tasting. Also - portability is kind of important to me so this easily fits the bill.
I have been slightly craving sweets - I am a huge sweets person but there have been enough desserts to grab - sweetened with dates - which are very yummy. I am missing chocolate though...maybe that will be in my next batch of meals :)
