Ok so I am 10 days into my raw food and juice challenge. How am I doing. Well I am down 4.5-5.5 pounds awesome. I feel lighter already, my face looks less round and I have much better energy! I have to say so far this doesn't feel like a "challenge" I'm eating super yummy raw foods, delicious juices, awesome smoothies, I feel good, I have energy. Why stop?! How many times do I have to do this before I stick with it for good? I feel better, I look better, the food is yummy, seriously why stop?
This time round I have been doing things a little bit differently. For one thing I try to have all my food/juices/smoothies at room temperature. This has helped a lot! I can't tell you how cold I use to get when I was eating this way. Now I feel much warmer and therefore more keen on sticking to this. I am sure if I lived in a super hot climate this wouldn't be such an issue but it's winter in the north west and -2 plus cold food just doesn't work.
As I am eating some raw meals as well as juices and smoothies, I have been paying attention to not overdoing it with nuts and seeds. They are delicious but high in calories, even on a raw diet you have to pay attention. That being said just the other day a good friend brought over some raw pizzas she had made, which are amazingly amazing and oh I had some. Everything in moderation. Snacking is my weakness so I am making a point of packing vegetable sticks, mini oranges and berries with me to keep me happy and on track.
So far so good!
