This is really good! I'd love to have recipes for green smoothies. My attempts lately have been to simply add spinach or carrot or celery to the regular smoothie i drink (or all of them; makes for a very filling smoothie that I can drink throughout the day). Today I threw in some watercress too. I'm not much for kale, but I like spinach and watercress. Also a one ounce shot of wheat grass juice makes it taste something like a very green banana when mixed in.

I seem to have lost a lot of weight by just drinking smoothies and eating vegetables (but part of that could be stress as well).

But I am looking into a raw foods diet in the percentages you have mentioned, maybe eating eggs or meat once or twice a week. (Funny, too, how my freezer is loaded with frozen meat right now. :P)

I remember an odd thing once, a while back; I hadn't been eating beef very much because it's so expensive, I was mostly eating chicken, or tofu if I couldn't afford meat that week at all, so one day I did get a pretty good sale on beef, and I fixed myself a small steak. My first bite was a mixture of "Hey, not too bad" "Wow, beef definitely isn't what I remember it to be" and "Do I really like this?"

When you stopped the raw foods diet, did you find yourself having the same reactions to anything?
