I've decided to permanently cut down on the Raw Food percent, while still eating a lot of raw food. What I mean by this is that I plan to to do this:
--Oatmeal for breakfast, with a handful of raw nuts and berries.
--Small orange for snack
--Avocado & cheese (using half an avocado, and about a 50 cal half-serving of semi-soft goat cheese) on a piece of whole wheat bread for lunch, along with an apple, pear, or peach, and a mixture of raw veggies.
--Same avocado & cheese on whole wheat for dinner, using the other half! This time with a salad with raw veggies, and a bit of grilled chicken or fish on the salad.
--Berries for dessert
That's what I did today, though I had a 1/4 cup of almonds instead of berries for dessert, which I don't want to do again. I'm already having a serving of nuts for breakfast, and I want to stick with one serving per day. So I'll make it berries from here on out.
Basically, I am cutting down a tad on the raw, and adding more grain.
I think my basic philosphy is going to be:
--Eat raw foods at every meal.
--Don't eat it cooked if you can eat it raw
--All snacks should be raw foods
--All cooked/not-raw foods will be healthy foods (moderate to low on fats and sugars and salts)
--Include some whole grain and dairy every day
--Include some fish or chicken every day
--No junk food
--No "diet" food or drinks or substitutes (like sweetner or fat substitutes)
--Keep portion sizes small
Exercise went fine - 45 minutes on the stationary bike, as always. No walking today - it was cold and gray and rainy!

That sounds like a great plan to me, Cory! You need to adjust it to where it works best for you and it's easier for you to maintain it long-term. I wish I could adjust mine to where I could have some bread or cheese, but I really do think this is the best way for me to go, at least for right now. I may be able to add in some bread or dairy at some point in the future, but those are just too "triggery" for me right now.
