Thanks so much, Karissa! I have had a similar experience with alcohol so I am excited to see what I feel like without it 🙂

Yes, 80-10-10 is a major lifestyle shift and definitely a more difficult one to keep up if you are nut obsessed like me 🙂 I will definitely be putting lots of yummy raw recipes up this month! Last night I made a delicious pudding with 1/2 avocado, 1/2 ripe banana and 3ish tablespoons of raw cacao. Blended it all. Sooo yummy I would highly suggest giving it a try! Xo

Regarding going alcohol-free, I think you may really feel amazing from doing it! I stopped drinking 4 months ago because it had started worsening my digestive issues. Plus, it had started given me brain fog up to a week after drinking! I can’t wait to see how you feel after your Fully Raw February! Good luck 🙂

Thanks for the support about the fully raw month!! It should be an interesting journey I am very excited about it. Xo!

Definitely listen to your body…Raw is a huge learning curve. Fruit is best digested on it’s own too. I eliminated a lot of digestive issues when I did that. I’m usually raw until dinner and then have a salad and a gluten free starch like rice or .quinoa or a cooked soup for dinner. In the spring and summer I go a lot days all raw. Over the last few years I’ve been leaning towards the lower fat raw vegan.
I live near Ka’anapali and we don’t have a lot of vegan options in this area. However, the otherside of the island rocks. I die for Mana Foods in Paia, Maui Kambucha in Haiku, Alive and Well, Down to Earth, and Whole Foods in Kahului. There are also tons of epic farmer’s market on that side too! Summer is the best time to be raw here because all the exotic fruits are is full season. You’ll be stoked 🙂 Aloha

I’ve loved your blog for months before I started mine! You’ve only been blogging for 6 months?! I really thought it was longer with such a nice blog!
Good luck with your fully raw month 🙂 I love having a good 3 day fully raw “cleanse” when I’m feeling a bit “bleh” but a month is huge!

Ahh thank you so, so much for the advice, Amanda. I have done some research on 80-10-10 and I am not sure how I feel about the amount of fruit involved (too much fruit can bother my sensitive tummy)… what are your thoughts on 80-10-10? You’ve gotta try Pure Food and Wine if you’re ever in the city!!! You will have to give me some Maui vegan advice because I come to Maui every summer for a couple of weeks and love trying all of the local veg spots. Also, very inspirational that you have been raw off and on for 10 years. One healthy chick!!! Lots of love to you

A week a month during the summer sounds like a great way to do it, Lisa! Maybe that’s how I will end up being after this month of raw 😉 will definitely keep you all posted on how it’s going! Xo

The best advice I can give is go easy on the overt fats. I’ve found that recipes high in nuts can leave to some stomach issues and proper food combining is also key! Have you done any research on 80-10-10? I recommend checking it out 🙂 Anyway, I’m so jealous that you live near Pure Food and Wine!! I’ve never been to NYC but I that would be my first stop indeed!! Best of luck to you! Aloha, Amanda
