I'm going away on a one-week camping trip (not full camping, but camping-with-cabins-and-showers, which I much prefer) and am trying to figure out what I will eat. There will be a community refrigerator (yay!) and perhaps a stove or oven, as well, which I will not need, except for tea -- which would be nice.
I'm not sure I can maintain 70-90% raw while I am away; I think I will have to depend on some cereals and foods like tortillas, hummus and the like. I think I'll probably be eating more like 50% raw, sticking to only those fruits and vegetables that will keep for a week. Things like:
apples
bananas (probably less than a week)
nectarines/peaches
broccoli
some lettuces/spinach
cabbage
avocado
onion
tomatoes (probably less than a week)
sprouts
I'll also include raw dehydrated fruits as well as nuts and seeds, a staple in any raw diet.
This week camping will potentially involve something like...hunger. This might be good for me, probably, as I've been too liberal with myself for the last one or two months due to moving and the rehabbing of a new house. In truth my raw percentage numbers have been pitifully low. This is evidenced rather predictably in frequent gastro-intestinal distress: the only time I am ever, ever regular or comfortable is when I eat raw. If I do not eat raw I either have a hard time going to the bathroom at all, or else get sick after every meal. Needless to say, it's a real drag.
My meals will consist of organic cereals and rice milk in the morning, raw fruit (dehydrated and otherwise), nuts and seeds during the day, and hummus-and-veggie wraps in the evening. I might include some raw cheese in the wraps just for excitement.
I'll check in after the trip to report back on how I did.
