    What do you mean by "food yoga practice of 40 days"?

    Is it somehow different than just eating raw?

      no, it's the same as just eating raw.
      when i do a certain practice with food, i think of it as food yoga, that's all.

          40 days into it, i was sufficiently hooked.
          Once in a while, i have a food yoga day during which i eat something that is not raw, just to see how it feels.
          It's usually a sublime immediate experience, followed by a groaning regret and a hangover the next day.

            that's funny, a food yoga day for experimentation.
            I did 40 days of raw food a couple years ago and it was good, but i immediately broke it just after midnight of the 41st day. It was a lot of pressure, although my body responded very well. I find it very difficult to do 80% raw or so due to addictive food issues. So therefore 40 days again.

                Yam are orange in colour, and sweet potato are kind of yellow. People are always calling yams sweet potatoes. Silly. What is a cherimoya?

                  i read that almost all of what we call yams are actually sweet potatoes. So I guess I ate a sweet potato. Although it was pretty orange. A cherimoya is a delectable sweet fruit that tastes like a cross between a coconut, an apricot and licorice. They grow in CA and in Central and South America. I recommend them!

                    That's some serious exotic fruit, man! I've never had sapote or cherimoya!

                    Yesterday I ate:

                    breakfast: 2 bananas

                    lunch: 2 bananas & sashimi (tuna - 3 servings)

                    snack: fresh tomato/mango salsa w/(5 servings) carrot chips

                    dinner: 1 banana, a salad (tomato, red bell pepper, avocado, onion, red pepper, sea salt)

                    plus a glass of wine (which technically is both raw & living, but certainly not advised!)
