Beginning of Raw Food Diet

Day One.

I'm not really sure how long I will do this. I may like it so much I stay on it for a while. We will see. I really started weaning myself into it over the weekend. I ate only raw foods for breakfast and lunch on Sat and Sun. then had a lite dinner with only a small portion of chicken with huge salad. I feel great today, mentally and seemed to have more energy at spin class today as well.

I read on a few websites that you have to eat a lot of food on this to get enough nutrients and feel satisfied. So far I have just nibbled on fruits, nuts and veggies and really have not been hungry. It was very hard for me not to have bread this morning. Tom made some toast and it smelled so good. I did not give in. I have not given up coffee yet either. That is just too many changes all at once.

Breakfast - 2 bananas and 1/2 cup of cubed pineapple.

Lunch - huge mixed green salad with cran-raisins, nuts, seeds, tomatoes, cucumbers. I made a vinaigrette dressing for it & water.

Snack - 1/4 cup trail mix, water

Dinner - 2 cups lightly steamed veggies, 2 cups white rice & water

Snack - 1/2 cup fresh cherries

Stay tuned.
