What are your cravings? We might be able to help you find raw food solutions.

For instance, I had a problem with craving beef. I could do all kinds of vegetarian or vegan foods for years, but still always needed some beef some time. Eventually I learned that if I eat spinach every single day then I don't ever crave beef. I've since been finding other foods that help with that, such as almonds and dandelion.

When I crave cheese, I often find that eating raw macadamia nuts helps.

I also wonder if you're getting a complete balance of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Romaine lettuce is great, but there are some things like collards, chard, kale, spinach, and dandelion to name just a few leafy greens, that have a lot of things romaine does not. And vice versa. That's why it's good to eat a mix of things, a wide variety.

It helps also to get a wide variety of vegetables and fruits too, not just eat the same things over and over.
