00rawr00 - yes! I do love that! My body just loves being on raw, and even my cravings are showing it now. Thanks for the website recommendation - I will check that out! (I have a nice big watermelon again too).

theveg - I have noticed the same thing, even starting a few months before I decided to go raw. I've hated yogurt since I was an infant - but then one day I wanted to try some, and then I went through two weeks of needing it every day. I'm not eating it now while trying to be 75% and higher raw, but that was odd!

Then it was avocados. I always disliked everything about them, then one day I saw some in the produce section and wanted to try one. Got hooked for a few weeks! Now I use them for awesome raw guac, so they're still in my life. (I just watch how many of them I eat because I'm trying to lose a lot of weight, so I'm high raw/low fat).

After going raw, I bought some spinach to use for green smoothies, even though I never liked it. I figured, I most disliked it cooked so I'd try to put it in a 60% fruit/40% greens smoothie. Worked just fine! (I just don't use it in strawberry/banana smoothies because it looks gross).

The one thing I still don't really like is celery. Victoria Boutenko said in Green for Life that celery helps salt cravings, so I tried adding it into my green smoothies. You just can't hide that stuff!
