So I`m on day 21 of my 100 days of raw food. I have to say that although I am calling this a challenge, it doesn`t feel very challenging! One of the best things to come out of eating raw foods is that I feel satisfied I eat a meal and then guess what I don`t feel like I need to eat to bursting! Shocking I know. Eating more moderately without trying, I`m in!
Most days I start the day off with a juice or smoothie and have some veggies and dip or salad with a juice for lunch or just a smoothie. For dinners I have veggies and dip, raw pizza, raw pasta, or wild salmon sashimi or even a smoothie.
The hardest thing for me is snacking. You know that curling on the couch watching a movie having a snack. I have a hard time with that. I have found that pomegranates make a great movie snack at least at home, as they take time to eat and are sweet and crunchy! I have also been playing around with dehydrating different veggies, so far potato sucks, yam is ok, zuchinni was ok, cauliflower has been pretty good! I`ve heard that sweet potatoes are yummy as well so maybe that will be the next experiment The thing I don`t want to get into is snacking on nuts. I love them and they are easy to go for so I am trying not to let myself because a few can turn into a handful and then all bets are off. Sure it`s healthier then chips but they are loaded with calories and that I do not need more of!
So, so far so good, I`m feeling better, clearer and more focused. I have better energy throughout the day, and I`m down about 6-7 pounds in 3 weeks:)
