Juice as a meal

2021-01-11T05:05:01.000Z

I recently bought a citrus juicer and am looooooving the fresh orange juice. After drinking about four cups of juice I feel quite satiated and can go a while without feeling hunger again. I've been considering having a large glass, maybe eight cups of orange juice, for breakfast as a meal because I feel so great afterwards and it's so delicious! I suppose I'm just wondering if having a meal that is solely juice is sufficient for breakfast. What do y'all think? I see a lot of raw eaters have mostly juice throughout the mornings so wondering what y'all's take is

Bike Camp Cookbook Release - Free Download

2016-08-07T14:50:16.000Z

Hello all,

Wanted to share my new book "Bike Camp Cookbook" with you all. It derived from a cross country bicycle tour from New York to California in 2014. I prepared meals outside that were healthy, quick and easy to make. All the meals were prepared from my SnowPeak solo camp stove and the food at markets and gas stations.

Take a look inside! You can download a copy 08/15 - 08/19. I believe my book is the answer to many people who camp and/or bike tour who worry about food and other meals to prepare while out on extended or even short weekend adventure. It's also a book you can adapt to your own style of cooking and perhaps change your perspective overall.

In addition to the food I have 4 stories from the road of my favorite places I've traveled through in the U.S. These locations include Kansas, Colorado, Nevada and Virginia. I'm really psyched on the images because they really take me back to when I was on this trip. I'm pumped for this and hope it can be of help to many of you who are planing a trip or looking at getting creative at the camp site.

Lastly please leave an honest review.

I need sleep after a big meal....why?!

2016-05-05T14:19:42.000Z

Hi guys, First of all sorry my english. I hope you can understand my question.

I feel really good after waking up (sleep routine 10pm-7am), Im 27years old 77kg/ 1,81cm.

But every single day, after my breakfast(1h after waking up) or lunch, usually bananas and dates, around 1500cal, i get so fucking tired.. All i can think is "i need my bed right now"..

Anyone with the same problem?

Thank you so much,

João

Long term "skipping breakfast" and mental damage

2016-03-27T22:22:30.000Z

Curious enough, my girlfriend jumped on me with one more question: Does skipping breakfast on the long run cause undesirable brain deterioration?

My point: getting up and starting the day, hopefully using the brain :D, without brain fuel (glucose) could stress the body to produce the glucose from any storage therefor the brain will eventually lack some abilities.

This makes sense to me in the long run.

(We have been 80% raw for a year)

Thank you!

What do HCLF vegans eat for Breakfast????

2015-10-11T18:35:56.000Z

The only other vegan I am really close to is Ryan so I don't really have too much of an idea of what other HCLF vegans eat for breakfast.

This is what I eat:

WHAT DO YOU EAT????????????? Curiosity killed the cat.

Exercise BEFORE breakfast?

2015-07-30T19:52:07.000Z

Hey guys!

Got another question on the RT4 style recommended by Freelee and Harley.

I've been binge-watching their channel lately and one thing just isn't clear to me:

Do they wake up - drink water - go for a run / ride on the bike - get home and eat their breakfast smoothie?

That's what it looks like in their videos, all of them.

So my question is, should I also wait for breakfast after my exercise?
Or am I getting the wrong picture?

Thanks!

Sluggish after breakfast

2014-12-13T10:23:43.000Z

So I just had my breakfast 1 hour ago. I had a smoothie with 8 mazafati fresh raw dates 316 calories and 3 medium bananas 315 calories which brings it to a total of 631 calories. I felt awesome before I had it but around 30 minutes after I got really sluggish and tired.

When I don't eat breakfast I feel amazing but when I have it I feel like !@#$. Anyone relate?

SMMOOOTHHIES

2014-12-11T21:39:54.000Z

Okay so i've been going crazy on maca powder at the moment and after researching this, too much maca powder everyday can cause weight gain/changes in the body - which boy have i been experiencing.
Its frustrating because i LOVE maca, its been making my smoothies taste SO good. I do like cinnamon but maca just over-rides it by far, and carob for that matter.
I'm going to stop using maca now for a while and probably will stop all together as i just dont know how many times i should have it in the week.
Because of this, i need something to make my smoothie 'tasty'. I quoted tasty as even though it already is, i like having added tastes!
I'm okay on carob but its not my fave. Cinnamon is nice but i feel like the spices i have, aren't showing cinnamon in its best light... every cinnamon jar tastes different?!

SO does anyone know any nice spices to add in that will be nice?!
Thanks!

Breakfast Ideas

2014-12-07T11:05:45.000Z

I can't come up with any breakfast ideas. I can't have 15 bananas because my parents don't even buy that many for a week. They'll never buy me that just for breakfast. Do you guys have any ideas that are good? Thanks for your help!

WARNINGS:

I am allergic to guava and paprika.

Breakfast Before OR After Exercise?

2014-06-08T02:03:53.000Z

Should you eat before OR after exercise in the morning? I cycle 3 times a week, a minimum of 10-12 miles each time (approximately 1.5 hours).

I've read different opinions on this however not from the perspective of a "fruit bat". I feel like the body needs something for energy especially with a fast metabolism and waking up hungry. I'm a little confused and wondering what YOU do...

HELP!!! Am I Mixing Foods The Wrong Way???

2013-12-02T02:13:12.000Z

So I have been making smoothies for breakfast. Usually with bananas, coconut water, and some other variation of fruit. I just now heard a little bit about the fact that you're not supposed to mix certain foods together. Does anyone know of a website or what kinds of food you shouldn't mix together. More importantly I would like to know why these foods should not be combined. It seems to me that it wouldn't be a big deal if I mixed certain things together but I could be wrong. That's why I need help. Any thoughts??

5 Day Raw Challenge Day 1 - What did you eat today?

2013-10-01T00:46:13.000Z

It's the first day of the 5 day raw vegan challenge!

Here is what I ate:

Breakfast: 3 Large Cantaloupes

Lunch: 6 Mango Smoothie

Snack: 3 Mango 1 Banana Smoothie

Dinner Part 1: 16oz Pineapple

Dinner Part 2: Zoodle (Zucchini Noodle) Pasta on a bed of spinach (4 Cucumbers, 10oz Spinach) The sauce was made with tomato, red bell pepper, onion, garlic, and mushroom. I just mashed, diced, and combined them together.

According to cronometer I've had approximately 2,730 calories.

So... what did you eat today?

Skinny should NOT be the goal.

2013-09-05T02:13:31.000Z

Healthy should be the goal. Happy should be the goal. Vibrant should be the goal. Confident should be the goal.

Did you know that not every body type can healthily sustain a flat stomach or a thigh gap? Everybody’s bodies were built differently, and not everyone’s body looks the same. We all have our own version of healthy. You shouldn’t hurt yourself to get a flat tummy or a gap between your thighs. You shouldn’t obsess over those things, because it isn’t always attainable. Reach for your version of healthy. Be the healthiest you can be, and your body will look the best it can be. And if you don't have a gap between your thighs, a flat stomach, or awesome abs, so what? You are taking amazing care of your body so it can preform it's best and look it's best. Don't strive for "perfection", because perfection doesn't exist. Don't strive to look like that person in a magazine; the person in a magazine doesn't even look like the person in the magazine. They have been airbrushed and photoshopped to look sterotypically "hot" or "sexy" or "beautiful." #$%^ that. Healthy is @#$%^&* sexy. *Pardon my french*

That’s my little insight of light today.

Thoughts on oats?

2013-09-01T18:30:18.000Z

I've heard many different opinions on oats *100% natural organic rolled oats* in the raw food movement. Many people will make 'raw overnight oats' on this lifestyle. I do not incorporate oats in my diet and was wondering what your opinions are on oats and the raw vegan lifestyle. Do you eat oats? Why? Do you not eat oats? Why?

Hello, new to the 30bananas and lifestyle! Looking for guidance to begin!

2013-03-18T11:46:58.000Z

Hi everyone,

I am so happy to have discovered this community and this way of life. I was once again trying to force my body to slim down, this time through another master cleanse. On 4th day I was tired and hungry and knew that there just has to be something else out there. So I kept going through Youtube and then came across Durianrider and Freelea's channels. I watched and watched and couldn't believe someone was actually telling me to EAT FRUIT! Everyone has always told me not to and that is the one thing I always crave. So what would happen is that I would "relapse" on sugary floury stuff. At one point I even did the Dukan for 2 months, lost the weight, gained it all back and then some. Anyway, having you guys testify to the low fat high carb diet I was so relieved and just feel so much hope! So I broke my master cleanse with fresh squeezed orange juice and then had about 5 small bananas, 2 mangos and half a cantalope. That felt so awesome!! I actually had some strength this morning.

This morning I started with 2 bananas and a mango, however, about half hour later I got stomach cramps and this painful sensation in my stomach, same as I get if I drink apple juice on empty stomach. Anyone has experienced this? What do you eat for breakfast? Any recommendations are very welcome!

Thanks and look forward to connecting with you!

Was this an ok breakfast start & I have a few thoughts I wanted help thinking through!

2012-03-09T19:57:22.000Z

This is what I had this morning: A smoothie with OJ, Coconut milk, frozen strawberries, goji berries and a banana. I was still thinking about food so I had a large handful of dried blueberries and a 20 oz cup of water. Was this an ok start?

Lastly, I do wonder this: The China Study seems to promote grains and veggies as an optimal eating style. Any comments or help on this? And how can I make sense of folks in third world countries who live off rice and beans and don’t have a weight problem & work relatively harder than we do without caffeine & medicines?

Thanks for helping the newbie sort through all this!

breakfast: heaviest or lightest meal?

2011-10-06T20:18:12.000Z

I have always thought starting light (like watermelon) was a good gentle way to slowly get your digestive system moving, and as the day goes on you can move up to heavier foods, and the day should end on the thing that takes longest to digest (the high calorie fruits or vegetables).

But, I know there are a lot of people that start the day with dates or bananas immediately. Do you guys think it makes much of a difference? What do you do?
