I still like to eat beans, rice and warm veggie soaps once in awhile. Does anybody can suggest me anything about this? is it acceptable to eat raw most of the day and splurge with the cooked foods I mentioned? Thanks much!

It's perfectly acceptable to eat ANY amount of raw that you choose to eat for your own journey.

However, the amount of raw will match the amount of healing and wellness you would like for yourself. So if you want 100% or ALL of the benefits of a raw diet, likewise you'll want to eat 100% or ALL raw. Right now you are getting 75% of the benefits of a raw food diet, and it that is fine with you then that's great.

On a personal note, I find it harder to be raw when I don't do it fully. Eventually more and more cooked slips in and before I know it I'm hardly getting any raw food in and I feel sluggish and unenergetic. That's my own journey. Many people can stay high raw and do very well with it. I don't feel nearly the same amount of energy, vitality and healing on a less than all raw diet though.

So, the only person who needs to give you permission to eat the way you want, is you!
