Day 5: Cravings and craving killers

I spent New Year's Eve and New Year's day at a friend's house, and I took a gallon of juice with me. Nevertheless, I started to get some major cravings. They were cravings for all kinds of grains, particularly tortilla chips and salsa. But I really wanted to keep on with the juice feast, so I just waited it out. It was painful at times. I guess I was in one of those "vegan zombie" modes. I was also thinking about raw vegan dishes, so it wasn't all grain-based foods, but since I'm just juicing, it was still hard.

When I got back, I made up a juice using salsa ingredients to try to satisfy my chips and salsa craving. It was good, but I wasn't quite sated.

But this morning (Monday) I woke up and drank some leftover juice, and I watched Paul Nison's video My Raw Food Breakfast. All of a sudden, I'm not craving that stuff anymore! For me, that video was a craving killer. Of course, now I'm thinking about raw vegan breakfast cereal with berries and bananas now. But I'll get to have that in time.

I'm not yet sure what I'm gonna do for the rest of the day. We've got a bunch of juices leftover that I suppose I'll be working on. I really want to get some dandelion greens and some grapes for juices (though not for the same drinks). You know what? I think I'll do straight orange juice. That would taste really good to me right now. Then I can move into my green juices.
