Well honeys, you asked for it, and you KNOW I aim to please! 
Here’s two days of eats for ya’ll to salivate over. 
Keep in mind this follows my new plan.
Sunday
I started with a big glass of juice.
I love having this in the morning. The idea of eating something rich and hot doesn’t sound good.
Especially when it’s 90 degrees all day! 
For lunch, I had a huge veggie salad with half an avocado smashed in for some fatness.
I used romaine, red cabbage, and raw corn cut off the cob. If you’ve never had corn that way, trust yo girl! So refreshing and milky and sweet!
I worked out around 4:00, once most of this had digested. I did that stupid bitch ass Jillian’s No More Trouble Zones DVD…
It’s freakin’ insane!
For dinner, I grated some jicama (I saw Gina make “rice” this way) and served it on some romaine with Spike seasoning.
I love how the jicama leaves a little puddle of fluid on the plate – it’s very thirst quenching!
I also had an easy micro’d sweet potato with my fave condiment, plus steamed frozen veggies.
Then I worked on this hunk of dark chocolate for an hour or so!
I would never have touched 70% dark chocolate last year. I thought it was absolutely filthy. My palate is so changed!
I was up kinda late (midnight!) and got hungry around 11:00. It didn’t go away so I dove into this:
I freakin’ love watermelon! I also had a few prunes to help things along. 
Ya herd?
Monday
Okay! So, I had green juice again, but look how much more the juicer produced.
30 ounces! Can you believe it?
Here’s why:
I used celery (instead of romaine) and half a cuke! Those really are straight fluid!
I also went a little craze and decided not to cut the peel off my lemon.
I WAS BURPING LEMON RIND ALL MORNING. So cool!
I mean, who doesn’t want their breath to smell like citrus?
A couple hours later I was hungry, so I ate half a watermelon. That was fun!
Then I went to work at a coffee shop with my sister love. I brought a salad:
Freakin’ exact same as Sunday! I included a fridge shot to prove two things:
- I ALSO store cukes and other veg that are cut in half without any wrapping (see this post if you’re confused). Why waste foil yo’s. I give a shit about Mother Earth!
- The pop rack is a great place for raw corn when veggie drawers are crammed full!
After working, class, and cardio (45 min stairmill), I went home to make some zucchini cucumber hummus!
I wanted to copy Gena, but I didn’t have endive so I used cabbage leaves to hold the hummus instead.
They are so easy to rip! I don’t know how many leaves I pitched (into today’s salad) before I got a few good ones.
So annoying!
There’s some grated jicama in that mug. And I added bell peps to the leaves for a little color pop!
Rob also made me sweet potato tots. So sweet, right? He doused them in oil (!!!) but I took a calming, meditative breath, blotted the shit out of the cubes, and ate them calmly.
I realized LATER that NUT AND NUT BUTTERS AREN’T SUPPOSED TO COMBINE WITH COOKED VEGETABLES. So, I f’d up. Oops!
I had the rest of my chocolate bar for dessert.
So, there you go! Two days of eats.
I have to go to class in four minutes, so I’ll talk more about how I feel and some of your questions in my next post.
Until then, I love you all and wish we could hug!
And a question for ya’ll! Are you a dark or milk chocolate person?
Posted by Andrea on June 2, 2009 at 12:23 pm
I can’t believe you’re eating dark chocolate AND avocados now. Who are you?!
Posted by brandi on June 2, 2009 at 12:59 pm
your juice is beautiful!
I’m definitely a dark chocolate person – all the way!
Posted by Run Sarah on June 2, 2009 at 1:02 pm
My fiance always douses things with oil, I have to do the towel-blot too! I love dark chocolate, but wouldn’t say no to milk chocolate..
Posted by VeggieGirl on June 2, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Carob or raw cacao for me
Posted by Yasmin on June 2, 2009 at 1:12 pm
DARK CHOCOLATE ALL THE WAY!
Posted by Amanda on June 2, 2009 at 1:15 pm
MM I love dark chocolate these days. It is so much more satisfying. Your eats look great! And isn’t Jillian insane?! I love to hate her
Posted by Lindsey (Mrs. LC) on June 2, 2009 at 1:21 pm
dark chocolate! no contest.
Posted by Kersten on June 2, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Hi pie! Thanks for sharing your raw diet
I like dark chocolate more than milk now, but used to be the other way around. I still love me some melty rich milk chocolate every once in awhile, though. It’s so cool that you’re eating avocado and dark chocolate recently with your delve into raw eating!! I can’t believe I now eat mushrooms, beans, and cauliflower.
Love your before and after watermelon pics
Nom nom! Burping lemon rind sounds kinda fun–like you said, lemony fresh breath!
Posted by carolinebee on June 2, 2009 at 1:31 pm
darkie darkie for sure- i found an 83 % bar in my cupboard :O That thing was gnar- Must be like eating a straight up cacao bean..NO bueno!!
Posted by Kristie on June 2, 2009 at 1:41 pm
I love love LOVE seeing this new eating approach of yours. I’m so intrigued! Everything looks so incredibly fresh, so incredibly HEALTHY! I want to see more more more.
I used to hate dark chocolate (I feel like it’s only suited to more adult palates? What kid actually loves dark chocolate?) but the more I eat it the more I enjoy it. I still probably eat milk chocolate more often but I hardly eat chocolate as is so that’s not that often in the first place. I’d like to start a daily dark chocolate ritual one of these days though. Gotta load up on them antioxidants!
Posted by dreamin'itvegan on June 2, 2009 at 1:49 pm
Great meals. I’m liking the zucchini cucumber hummus. Do you have that recipe on hand?
Posted by Erin on June 2, 2009 at 1:53 pm
love it dark!
Your juice is sooo pretty and frothy!
Posted by homegirlcaneat on June 2, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Mother Cynthia usually douses the sh!t outa urrythang with either oil or even worse, BUTTA! What is she thinking? I do not know. But I’m not hating on her too much just because she’s me mam!
I always say I love dark chocolate, but then sometimes I get a little piece of milk chocolate and it’s so creamy and heavenly! But overall, me thinks dark chocolate is tha way to go. It be intense and antioxident-filled. WOOPWOOP!
Hug for you!
Posted by Alison on June 2, 2009 at 1:58 pm
I love dark chocolate. I’ve even loved 85% chocolates. More and more, I find milk chocoalte hard to eat. Just not rich enough.
I should check out that Jillian DVD. I love Shred although I’ve had to take a break from it b/c of shin problems.
Posted by Hallie on June 2, 2009 at 2:01 pm
I love Green and Black’s 70% chocolate! My fav by far…but you know what, I pretty much like all chocolate…unless it’s the REALLY bad, cheap kind. And even then…
Posted by Maggie on June 2, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Dark dark dark! 99% all the way
Posted by Becca on June 2, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Your morning juice looks fab! I had a Green Monster this morning (newbie!) and it was delish. Sooooo glad I tried it. I can’t wait to make it again!
And I’m not a chocolate snob… put chocolate in front of me and 99% of the time, I’ll probably eat it!! Just call me Miss Piggie!
Posted by Jessica (jesslikesithot) on June 2, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Newman’s ORANGE dark chocolate is my new loveeeee…..it’s so, so good! But danggg Erin, you’ve almost convinced me to take on this meal plan!! I’d be so down to eat half a watermelon in one sitting!
And please give us more daily eats, they are so fun and completely different than what we’re used to seeing on other blogs!
Posted by jenngirl on June 2, 2009 at 2:28 pm
I can’t wait to see how you’ve been feeling on your new plan! I have to admit, you’ve got me craving one of those smoothiesss…
I’ve been a DARK chocolate lover since birth. Hey, healthy’s in my genes, right?!?
Posted by Shelby on June 2, 2009 at 2:37 pm
I’m loving all the new eats girl! You rock!
I really need to get juicing, it looks so refreshing.
I prefer carob or dark chocolate. No milk crap for me..bleh!
Posted by Jenny on June 2, 2009 at 2:48 pm
girlfriend you are killin’ this new plan! I am a proud mama..
dark chocolate, holla!
Posted by Marianne on June 2, 2009 at 2:52 pm
I’m confused about the nut butter + cooked veggies issue. Where is the nut butter? I don’t see any. It could just be my old age though.
As for chocolate, I don’t discriminate – dark, milk, white, it’s all good
Posted by ksgoodeats on June 2, 2009 at 3:03 pm
The more bitter chocolate is the more I’m apt to eating it – the bittah the bettah!
I love the fact you just ate the watermelon with a spoon! You’re a pro!
Posted by Gillian on June 2, 2009 at 3:17 pm
How are you finding your digestion is going with all of this? I’m a little on the obsessive side when it comes to staying regular and will take any tips I can get
Posted by Lauren on June 2, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Dark chocolate for me!
It tastes like chocolate, where milk tastes like chocolate with something added. Wierd but I’ve always liked it better!
Great eats! I know what you mean about the cabbage leaves ripping!!
Posted by Rebeca on June 2, 2009 at 3:51 pm
I used to be exclusively a milk chocolate girl but now I’m so in love with rich dark chocolate I may never go back!
I have a question… Compared to before how much are you spending on groceries (I mean compared to before I guess)? Your second day’s juice would be about $5-6 based on my store’s regular prices and that’s going with regular produce not natural/organic (which I think is a good idea when juicing).
Posted by verbalriot on June 2, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Dark all the way yo. The DARKER the BETTER…this could be a TWSS moment but let’s not go there, shall we?
Your eats are so fresh and clean! I’m not even trying to sing that song or anything.
Posted by strivingforbalance on June 2, 2009 at 4:35 pm
those juices sound so good!

I used to be a totally milk chocolate girl, but I’ve found my way to the Dark Side.
Posted by Mara @ What's For Dinner? on June 2, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Dark chocolate… about 70% is PERFECT for me!
Posted by Meghan (Making Love In The Kitchen) on June 2, 2009 at 4:50 pm
That is some serious raw goodness!
Posted by Meredith on June 2, 2009 at 5:05 pm
dark chocolate!
Posted by Heather (be well & take care) on June 2, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Nice eats! I am a dark chocolate girl, but not too dark. 65% if I want something super sweet, 70% if I just want that chocolate taste. I am finally coming around to carob, too.
LOVE THE NEW HEADER! That looks like a promo for a reality show or something. Haha.
Posted by Anna on June 2, 2009 at 5:43 pm
I used to be a straight up milk kind of girl. My mom would have crazy 80% cocoa stuff lying around the house and I thought she was nuts. But then after I went veg and stopped eating chocolate, dark chocolate tasted amazing. I am also in love with Go Raw’s chocolate truffles. My mom sends me them in care packages and they make my life. They’re just cocoa powder and agave nectar, all raw and organic and DELICIOUS.
Posted by Emily on June 2, 2009 at 5:48 pm
The darker the better, I think (as a vegan I wouldn’t eat chocolate with milkfat in it anyhow). I even like bitter, unsweetened chocolate. Is that weird?
Posted by Cecilia on June 2, 2009 at 5:48 pm
HAH! “I took a calming, meditative breath, blotted the shit out of the cubes, and ate them calmly” you are so funny, Erin!!
+ well done on your raw eats, my beau!
As for the milk chockies vs dark chockies debate … it really depends on the situation, sometimes I like dark (up to 80%!!!!!), sometimes I like milk (yea, yea, I know it’s full of crap, so SUE me).
Posted by Leanne on June 2, 2009 at 6:05 pm
I love dark! I feel like you need just a small piece to be satisfied.
Posted by FoodsThatFit on June 2, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Dark chocolate for sure!!! It took me a while to get used to it, but now I will never go back to regular milk chocolate.
GREEN JUICE! I made my first batch yesterday and am in LOVE with it! So good!!!!! Lovely eats lady, and you are doing awesome on the RFDD program! Woot woot!!!
Posted by april on June 2, 2009 at 6:20 pm
I love dark chocolate! I used to hate it but now a little goes a long way and is so delicious. I made your pumpkin-protein-oatmeal pudding this morning and was super good! It’s featured on my blog
Posted by Meagn on June 2, 2009 at 6:41 pm
I love me some extra dark chocolate.. but really I don’t discriminate
any chocolate is good in my book!! lol
Posted by Erica on June 2, 2009 at 6:42 pm
Dark chocolate! Ok, now that I have that out of the way. I really love jicama- I need to get a grater so I can make it more rice like. So yummy. Thanks for posting your eats- I was missing them
Posted by Emily on June 2, 2009 at 7:10 pm
I am dark chocolate all the way! Are you planning on doing a post about how you feel, etc after the mostly raw days? I’d be interested, this is so different from how I currently eat.

Posted by Melissa @ For the Love of Health on June 2, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Such wonderful greens!! I feel healthier just reading your post! ha I need to do some of that juicing for sure!
I love all chocolate- I don’t discriminate!
I’m not a huge fan of things doused in oil either- I think it’s a man thing!
Have a great night!

Hey look, I peeled myself off Mafia Wars~!
Posted by Gena (Choosing Raw) on June 2, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Dark chocolate, bar none!
I have to admit, I hate lemon in my juice! But I could put in a pound of ginger…
Hope you’re havin’ a great night, sweet Erin.
Posted by justine on June 2, 2009 at 7:52 pm

Posted by chandra on June 2, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Dark chocolate all the way!!!
I need some avocado in my life… with some chips and salsa though.
Posted by Hangry Pants on June 2, 2009 at 8:07 pm
I was milk, but now I am dark. Oddly, I was just thinking about your changing tastes. Remember last summer when you loved that bread from the farmer’s market and then you sent me a loaf? Memoriesssss!
Posted by Heather Eats Almond Butter on June 2, 2009 at 8:08 pm
Erin,
Looks like your raw eating is going really well, and I’m glad your green lemonade makes you happy.
The darker, the better. I eat 100% chocolate. Love it!
Posted by Heather Eats Almond Butter on June 2, 2009 at 8:20 pm
P.S. – I forgot to mention I’m obsessed with jicama these days. Been spiralizing the hell out of those things. Love them…who knew?
Posted by glidingcalm on June 2, 2009 at 8:39 pm
damn. loved this. ferreals
Posted by eatlivelovedream on June 2, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Wow! Super healthy! I’m sure your body is getting more pure by the minute!
I used to hate dark chocolate! now I LOVE IT! Good thing our palettes can change!
Posted by broccolihut on June 2, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Love the idea of jicama “rice.” I just recently discovered jicama, and I love it.
I am such a dark chocolate person. Ever since I was bout 10, my mom has put a king size Hershey’s dark chocolate bar in my stocking every Christmas.
Posted by Sarah on June 2, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Wow, you amaze me. On so many levels.
Sorry I left you hanging on the texty texts. I had to wipe someone’s butt. I wish it were mine.
Posted by Lara (Thinspired) on June 3, 2009 at 2:48 am
Erin, you are making eating raw look easy! Hehe…such beautiful, clean eats. Seriously, I feel better just looking at them so you must feel great eating them.
I was never a dark chocolate fan until recently, either. That Green and Black’s is delicious enough to convert any naysayers! It is so creamy and satisfying!
Posted by Lara (Thinspired) on June 3, 2009 at 2:49 am
P.S. Is a moderate amount of high quality dark chocoalte like that permitted when eating in the raw? That is so cool and makes it that much more intriguing
Posted by coco on June 3, 2009 at 3:06 am
I love your new diet plan….so many veggies and fruits! I bet you feel soooo healthy and fresh afterwards.
I used to eat watermelon with spoon too! so fun!
Posted by Andrea (Off Her Cork) on June 3, 2009 at 6:01 am
I am so proud of you! First you are knocking out the new diet like nobody’s bidness and then you are eating dark chocolate! Hooray!
I love dark chocolate. I can eat a very small amount of milk but it’s just too sweet for me now. I love dark!
Posted by Danielle on June 3, 2009 at 6:39 am
I need to get a juicer for reals your juices just look way too good.
Plus I’m kind of in a food rut so maybe juicing would make me feel a little bit better.
Posted by Krista on June 3, 2009 at 6:54 am
Between the chocolate and zucchini cucumber hummus, I’m in love! YUM!
The only chocolate I do not love is that fake oil Easter chocolate. Yuck. And I don’t like my chocolate cold, either. Chocolate snob I am!
Posted by erinstark on June 3, 2009 at 7:41 am
I store things in the fridge unwrapped too, and my friends & partner think I’m a freak. It’s a habit I got from my mum as a kid – she does the same. I had a housemate who refused to eat anything in the fridge until I started wrapping up my tomatoes and cucumbers, because he believed that somehow they were encouraging the growth of bacteria that would transfer to his food… which was ridiculous because the only thing he ever ate was chickpeas straight from the tin, and good prepared by his mum (and thus kept in airtight containers). Very strange boy.
Posted by Melissa on June 3, 2009 at 12:18 pm
Looks very yummy – I love raw corn off the cob. And not to be judgemental, but where’s your protein hun?
Posted by Erin on June 3, 2009 at 12:43 pm
Um, is it weird that I’ve had a love affair with jicama since I first tried it at a Spanish fest in the 10th grade? Didn’t think so
And I totes thought of YOU AND ANDREA when I read this! Love you ladies!

Dark chocolate all ze way sister. Or bittersweet (yknow the huge pound plus bars at Trader Joe’s, mmm).
Quick question:
Why aren’t you supposed to combine nut and nut butters with cooked veggies?

Posted by Lea on June 3, 2009 at 2:02 pm
wowsers…i think i’m the only one here who doesn’t like chocolate. i’ll have a piece if someone offers, but i never buy them myself.
isn’t jicama the shiznit??? been eating’ that tube foreva. i douse that thang with chili powder/hot sauce + lime juice…straight up LA ( cali) style.
Posted by Red Head, Yellow Dog on June 3, 2009 at 3:45 pm
mmm dark chocolate!!
I’m curious about the jicama rice…what does it taste like exactly?? for some reason in my head it tastes like a raw white potato. I’m hoping this is not the case…

Posted by prettytimepiece on June 4, 2009 at 5:56 am
i LOVE the sickeningly sweet white whiiiitttee choccie (like sometimes I fantasize about going to whole foods, buying a big chunk of it, melting it, and eating it with a spoon) – milk chocolate is always good, and dark chocolate i’ve developed a taste for because it is the most satisfying.
you are doing fabulously on your new food plan… keep it up!

Posted by elise on June 4, 2009 at 10:24 am
i dont like dark chocolate. like. at all. but i am a big fan of all the avo youve been downing. i could eat 8 avocados a day i think. i used to hate (no, HATE) tomatoes…and now they are one of my FAVES. so weird how our tastes can change. i would be ALL about the raw thing, if only i could have beans, too.
Posted by Jenn (eating bender) on June 4, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Love it! Love it all! I had a long conversation with Miss VeggieWomanGirlChild about this diet. She read a lot of passages from the book to me, and I am so intrigued! Everything you have been eating lately just looks so fresh! And the dark chocolate just makes me happy inside.
I really want to try the jicama rice. Scratch that, I want to try all of this food.
I hope that the reading is going well…fuuunnn!! I <3 you!
Posted by Erin on June 4, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Marianne – I’m sorry, I wasn’t very clear was I!
The hummus has tahini in it, which qualifies as a nut/seed.
Gillian – SUCH a good question. Well, let me preface my answer with this: my digestion prior to this dietary change was HIDEOUS. Don’t get me started. After almost two weeks, I’m feeling MUCH BETTER! WAY LESS BLOATED! Oh my god, it is a dream. And hopefully I’m on the way to daily poos! That’s been a dream of mine for years!
Rebeca – Hmm, I think about $30-$50 more at the moment. But my husband and I eat really different diets and I think that contributes to our high grocery bill.
Emily – Definitely! Probably this wknd so keep an eye out!
Lara – IT IS! At least, if you’re at my level of rawness, which is about 80-90%.
Natalie – According to the raw food combining principles, certain foods shouldn’t be combined because they create digestive probs…nuts and starches together fall into that category
Lea – THat is whack!
Red Hurr – Thank god it tastes nothing like that, ha! The texture is like a water chesnut and the flavor is mildly sweet. SO GOOD!

Hey erin! I have the exact same *ahem* digestion problems and it sucks!! I’ve been to tons of doctors and nothing ever seems to work as they just tell me I have a slow digestion system. Lately my routine has been working though! Have you ever tried Miralax? You can buy it anywhere and it is NOT harsh at all- it just makes your intestines reabsorb more water which in turn makes it easier to go with absolutely no side effects. I can’t believe I’m talking about this on the internet- hope you don’t think I’m a weirdo! haha. Just tryin to help!
