I met a friend for dinner at a restaurant and I planned in advance to eat a cooked meal.  It tasted good while I was eating it but afterward I didn't feel nearly as satisfied as when I'm eating a smoothie or a fruit meal.  On top of that it didn't sit well in my stomach -my stomach felt like I had a rock in it and this is very different from feeling full and satisfied after having a large smoothie or fruit meal.

I have three entries from Dr. Graham's calendar posted.  This means I really like these particular Dr. Graham quotes.

I've been watching a Victoria Boutenko DVD the past couple of days and I like how she says that as one sticks with raw food, one's body will point the direction of what the diet should consist of.  At first, anything raw works (raw imitations of cooked food), but over time the tastes change and the body will begin to lead you towards a more refined raw diet of mainly raw fruits and greens with a few nuts and seeds.  This had been my experience; the raw imitation food and dehydrated snacks doesn't have the pull on me that it once had.

Breakfast- 64 oz Green smoothie: 6 large Navel oranges, one bunch dandelion greens, blended in Vitamix

Lunch- 1 large Honeydew melon

Snack- 8 fresh Medjool dates

Dinner- 1 Beer(Corona), followed 1 hour later with a large salad: Romaine lettuce, baby Arugula, 1 tomato, 1/2 large cucumber, 1 stick celery, 2 tbs raw pistachio nuts, 1 tbs raw almond butter, juice from 1/2 lime

Lunch- 14 apricots, 1/2 head Green Leaf lettuce

Dinner- a green smoothie: one bunch Dandelion greens and 6 large navel oranges, blended in the Vita-Mix

I suffered today from consuming too many pistachio nuts last night.  My brain was clogged with fat and I felt foggy and cranky.  It really took all day for me to feel normal.

I watched a documentary about Ayn Rand and it made wonder how the freedom to choose one's food and to take responsibility for one's health may be related to Ayn Rand's Objectivist philosophy.

Lunch- five large bananas

Snack- two large bananas

Dinner- 1 cup pistachio nuts, 1 large head Romaine lettuce

During the winter I became discouraged about the availability of fresh ripe fruit in the city and I forgot how things change in the summer.  Today when I went shopping at the Amish Market on Ninth Avenue, I smelled the apricots and the strawberries and the blueberries and I smiled as I remembered how much the food landscape changes with warm weather.

Lunch- 7 medium sized bananas sliced and layered with raw almond butter, shredded coconut, dusted with 1 tsp raw cacao powder

Breakfast- two conventional muffins, small coffee

Lunch- 10 Honey Tangerines
