Went pretty well. My muscles held up a lot better than my mental endurance; I suppose that's what happens when you take 2-3 years off. I didn't eat quite all the bananas I brought (I budgeted about 4 a day), but it did train me to enjoy more bananas. "Hummus" and "bread" sandwiches (both terms used very loosely to indicate a raw-ish product that somewhat resembles its title) with carrots, as well as about four raw bars a day, were key.
I don't know if it kind of defeats the purpose when my cheat dinner meal is probably just as big as the sum of the produce I consume throughout the day. That really only comes out to 50% raw, and I imagine I wasn't too far off from that when I incorporated produce into all my meals and did not try to eat raw.
But more and more often meal time rolls around and I am just craving a large amount of delicious crunchy sweet hydrating fruit. Or I will have a taste of something processed I used to eat every day and it tastes so disgusting that I can't eat it. Now that I'm not doing Pilates all the time, I don't feel like I'm starving all the time (oh Pilates and food, why must you both cost money?); anyway, maybe one day I'll make it big and be fed grapes all day long on a reformer.
