Hi Melissa,

thanks very much for your advice (sorry for my late reply).
Good to know this is still the transition period. Yes, i am including some cooked food, but i got on the slippery slope and went from like 90% to 50% raw. And i'm not yet sure to what extent it is to be attributed to that, but my mood and energy went down. I've been 90% again since five days and they are entirely up again, amazing. Is the experience of having too much energy at night to go to sleep common and attributable to a raw diet, you think?

I think what changed in my way of dealing with food is that for now, there seems to be a lot less to eat, and it's harder to get food when i don't need it (out of addiction). but i do crave for it now and then, like i said.
i have a good blender and i'm eating mainly juices (green and fruit) and salads. we don't have so many raw specialities as in the US, although i could order them but they are very expensive. fruit is not incredible here too, not as in hotter countries.
i should invest some time in being more creative and using some uncookbooks (i have some, yes), but i haven't much time. i'll try to make time. i have some

if i continue this, i'll consider a dehydrator, it's good to hear it's energy efficient.

thank you again :-)

Tobias
