I love meat and I love bread. Haha, I love basically everything that isn't good for the body honestly!

I've always been the one to cheat on diets because I just couldn't pass up the good food.

The transition into strictly raw, healthy food is definitely a hard one. I have kept a few of my basic habits of normal eating. For lunch today I slipped in some chicken and I had a piece of toast for breakfast yesterday. I, too, would have a very hard time staying away from these all together, so I'm taking it in slow steps.

I've found though that when you get pumped up and ready to do it, those things, at least for me, haven't been a priority like they previously were. So, eat your meats and your bread from the start and just slowly take down how much of it you consume.

Either way, I wouldn't beat yourself up about it if you do have such foods. As long as you're giving yourself your fruits and veggies, you'll still be making progress with what you were eating before.

Ha, that's what I keep telling myself. "Hey, I may have slipped with that piece of food, but I was eating McDonalds three weeks ago. Still doing better than that!"

As for fruits, we should be careful with our fruit consumption... make sure we definitely level it out with our veggies since fruits are often high in sugar. Diabetics should typically avoid Watermelon, Dates, Bananas, Grapes and Oranges.

However, those are all very important fruits that I love. For this, I eat those in moderation. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that those fruits... even if you're eating a lot of them... won't be any worse that the bowl of ice cream, the candy and cakes.

Speaking of which, I've been eating so much fruit lately... that I haven't wanted the bowls of ice cream, the candies or the cakes.

So, my suggestion is just to get whatever fruits you like. Switching to the foods is hard when we're used to putting so much crap into our bodies. So, do whatever makes the process easier for you.

Also, I'm rambling, I apologize. Haha, but before I forget... I would suggest getting fresh lemons to squeeze into your tea... or what I use is honey. Whether you decide to use organic honey or regular, that's completely up to you. However, the tea isn't the greatest. You will adapt to it, definitely. However, the first and second day... I wasn't feeling it and was second guessing my decision to try it. Keep with it! It's wonderful!
