<p>I am down to
285 this morning- yaay! I tried to keep down the fat content again
today by having a salad for breakfast, fruit for lunch and a hummus
wrap for dinner. I had a little feta cheese -not raw!- because it was
cheaper than raw cheese and I wanted some easy protein. We've been
actually thinking of buying tofu so I can get my protein, although I've
heard such bad stuff about it. Then we found a recipe for making our
own tofu in the Raw Truth cookbook by Jeremy Safron. It calls for
soaking soybeans and rinsing them several times, etc. etc. From what I
read in nutritiondata.com, 1/2 of a cup of sprouted, raw soybeans has 5
grams of protein. 1/2 of a cup of green raw soybeans (must be edamame)
has 17 grams of protein- WOW! I'll have to check to see which soybeans
can be used to make tofu. I know some people eat edamame like candy so
I guess I could put them in salads, too. Of course, now I wonder if
edamame is safe.

This is a short post but I've got to go to bed!
