A change here, a change there...

Boy, was I sick today! I couldn't even make it through a whole day at

I started adding fiber over the past few days. I was not well
yesterday either, but today I had stabbing cramps in my side, which
felt so much like my ovarian cyst attack from a couple of years ago
that I was worried. If fiber is the problem, I will feel better soon

life as I look at all the areas in which my diet is lacking and take
care of those before going all-raw.
I've been looking at the McDougall
Plan to see how I can use that in my transition. I like much of what
is listed on his food list, except the pasta. Now, I know that raw foodists
and vegetarians don't worry about a lack of protein, but my nutritional
history has made me very leery of assuming that simply eating raw will
provide me with ample protein. I did a little comparison of dairy
products with foods on the McDougall
list to see how much of those foods I'd have to eat to get the same
amount of protein I get from whey, Egg Beaters, nonfat yogurt and
cottage cheese. So far, it looks like I'd have to eat a whole lot more
carbs and fat to get the same protein. Seeds would be lower carb/higher fat choices, and beans would be higher carb/lower fat choices. For one cup of nonfat Greek yogurt(100 cal, no fat, 5 carbs, no fiber, 3 sugar, 20 protein) I could substitute:
