Not So Phat Fat

You know, cutting back on fat is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I mean, come on, it tastes good. I ended up higher today than I would have liked. Nuts sit and tempt me and almond butter beckons my name! So the journey and challenge continues... how to get fat lower. I'm not sure I know the answer... at least not yet. Having only gone through three chapters so far of 80/10/10, I'm sure I still have a lot to learn. It's easy enough to eat fruit all day, but then you try to have greens at the end of the day... how do you make them more palatable? I mean, as much as I like romaine, or spinach, or dandelion greens... you won't see me sitting around munching on them like one of the great apes so often referenced in raw books.

Last night was orange juice, cumin, and raisins added to greens. Tonight was a dressing called "Rawsome Dressing" which is based on almond butter of all things. Of course, making such a dressing is bound to take your fat percentages up, but boy does it jazz up green leafy things. So at this point I need to figure out how to have my greens and eat them, too, so-to-speak.
