I have found a store called Save-A-Lot that has bananas 3lbs/$1 and pears for $.79 per lb. This has really helped a lot as I adore banana/pear smoothies and can drink them three times a day with NO problems whatsoever. A huge revelation for me was realizing I can eat 15 or more bananas a day and it's OK, I won't get fat. So many books I've read in the past have warned against the evils of the "fattening" banana! I don't read books that dis fruit anymore - totally bogus! I'm with you - the main things for me are committing to not eating processed junk food and sugary garbage. Then eating raw as much as my budget will afford, and filling in with other whole foods if strictly necessary to survive. :)) Thanks, Annalise, that is encouraging!

We're on a tight food budget too, so we eat mostly bananas, apples, and lettuce! But I had a ton of food storage of legumes and grains, which we do use in the winters to help us get through financially (in the summer I eat all raw because more variety, cheaper produce, etc.). This is the first winter I committed myself to staying on whole foods and LOW FAT and what do you know? I am digesting those cooked foods better than ever, and it's not leading to binges, and I am not seeing any symptoms (except for lower energy of course, but not so bad that it disrupts my daily life).

I've done enough open-minded reading and studying and experimenting in the intervening few months that I now believe 100% that Swayze's way is the best way of all. Yesterday was the first day that I actually managed to eat nothing but raw fruits and vegetables (I've been at least 85-90% for months), and I slept like a dream. No overt fats, either (yay!!). I hope this is the beginning of the rest of my 811-RV life. Being convinced is the most important thing, I think, and I believe, I believe! :) I need to get rid my pantry of the quinoa and brown rice and canned beans and other foodstuffs I used to think were so healthy, but I don't quite have the nerve to do it yet. If I can stay completely raw for a month (or maybe even a week) I'll probably get the confidence to do that. The problem for me is that I run really low on money towards the end of the month, and I might need to resort to eating that food sometime just to get me to payday. So I'll just hang onto it for awhile and see how it goes. Swayze, thanks so much for all the wonderful information you have provided on your website and this blog. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it! I’m just finding this particular blog again and was so surprised to see that I made the above comments, and just a short time ago, too!
