So here I am almost 2 weeks later and I am still digging on this raw diet… I think I’ve finally found something that works for me. By this I mean that I don’t have to deal with cravings like I did before; the battle is not won, but I’ve never experienced anything putting a dent into cravings like being raw. Hell, I didn’t even want to try “raw” for the longest time because the food looked soooooooooooooooo unsatisfying (vegetables & fruit, blech) and it seemed like unicorns were flying out of every one’s butt once they turned raw, so I was a bit skeptical and still am, just because I am that kind of person. lol.
Raw, as I have said here before, will most certainly get you up to the vegetable and fruit requirements you NEED to lose weight. I was eating them before, but not like now! Not to mention the fact that I do not have the same digestive issues with the “raw” diet as I did vegetables in the cooked diet. Is that weird? I guess not because none of my protein comes from bean sources; you can’t eat beans or soy raw! Â And honestly? I feel much better without beans and soy (which has been replaced with mostly hemp seed and kefir). I am not 100% vegan raw, although most days I am 100% raw since I do consider kefir raw because of its probiotic content.
I have also been drinking coffee and alcohol. lol. The dirty little secret of “raw” was how quickly I recovered the next day from a night of martini drinking festivities. teee-heee. Â Raw fruits and vegetables are so refreshing!! I always crave GREASE the day of a hangover, like pizza. My hangovers last all day. Not this time! I did not give into getting a slice of pizza to make myself feel better I had a fresh fruit smoothie and essene bread. It sure made me feel better! lol!
Busy now coming up with a list of foods that seem to taste good raw and in raw recipes for the dehydrator and salads……..
It’s Goin’!
